Re: KDE 3.5.6 packages for Kubuntu now available

Is the new KDE going to be avaible for Kubuntu Dapper, or only for Edgy?

Re: KDE 3.5.6 packages for Kubuntu now available

Only for Edgy

Re: KDE 3.5.6 packages for Kubuntu now available

Sad to say, KDE 3.5.6 is only available for Edgy and Feisty. Unless the packagers/maintainers decide otherwise, Dapper will remain to be stable (long term support), and with less updated/recent versions.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do you upgrade or get it? I did not see anything in adept.

Get the verification keys:

wget [url]http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg[/url]
sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg

Add one or more mirror to sources.list:

sudo sh -c "echo deb [url]http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356[/url] edgy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list"

Update your system:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade

Edit: corrected command to add mirror to sources.list

I haven't noticed a change in feisty, are you using edgy?. And how are they messed up? (wrong fonts/size/antialiasing etc.)

They changed, yes, though I wouldn't call it messed up. It's more an improvement this time. On the other hand I think it's quite annoying that default fonts seem to be changed every other day.

hi just wondering if i'm doing it wrong or not but i'm getting a permission denied when i try to add it the mirrors to my sources list. attached below is my konsole readout:
tom@desktop:~$ sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
OK
tom@desktop:~$ sudo echo "deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356 edgy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list
bash: /etc/apt/sources.list: Permission denied

Re: KDE 3.5.6 packages for Kubuntu now available

Ok, done it now . Managed to add the mirror to the apt/sources list and upgraded. So far no messed up fonts or anything different but will report back once i've browsed more thoroughly the new packages.

Re: KDE 3.5.6 packages for Kubuntu now available

The only thing that changed for me after the update were the preset system sounds. They just defaulted to no sound. Nothing major, just had to reset them again.

BTW, is there a KDE sound themer?

tom@desktop:~$ sudo echo "deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356 edgy main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list

Oh, corrected that above, thanks for the pointer.
