Re: Be Free With KDE 4.0!

you need to edit

/etc/apt/sources.list

to add 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main'

then open terminal and

sudo apt-get update

then

sudo apt-get install kde4-core

Can I with Kate opet this source.list and add 'deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu gutsy main'?

You can't modify it simply from kate because you need root privileges for that file. Run

sudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list

enter your password, and you should be fine.

The you just add the line to the end (or wherever) of the file, save and close Kate.

Impressive!
Best KDE yet.
Is there a guide somewhere?

Re: Be Free With KDE 4.0!

Yes, it is the right choice. The PPA packages aren't signed, as said here.

Re: Be Free With KDE 4.0!

ok so i did all of eggbanjo's instructions, then my console tells me :

E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

then i did this

dpkg: requested operation requires superuser privilege
mack@mack-laptop:~$ su
Password:
su: Authentication failure
Sorry.

but i typed in the correct password. any ideas? thanks!

Re: Be Free With KDE 4.0!

Just run:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

Re: Be Free With KDE 4.0!

su needs root's password, which isn't even enabled in Kubuntu, while sudo (and graphical kdesu and gksu) only asks for your password.

So whenever you need root's privileges, run sudo <command>.

Re: Be Free With KDE 4.0!

As a 'general rule,' when you are getting Adept errors, open a console and type:

sudo dpkg --configure -a
sudo apt-get autoclean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install

Re: Be Free With KDE 4.0!

Looks like you have a bad install of the Java plugin for firefox, what i would susgest is if you have synaptic check for broken packages. or if not try reinstalling firefox and plugins
