DIE UNITY DIE!!

So time is of the essence with these so I will get started.

This is my 3.5 project, what this will do is remove Unity, Cinnamon, the original KDE install, and replace with the most current version of KDE 4.10.2

This is off of a fresh install of 3.5

I will be running root here, so if you haven't set up root

sudo passwd

su

Enter your Unix password....

apt-get update

Now 3.5 should be fully up to date in the repositories, and have the latest KDE installed.

Above is verified and working btw...There is just more I will add for undead..

So basically, you should have the Ultimate Edition 3.5 set still in place. In KDE, it will look odd at first, go to systemsettings--->workspace behavior------>virtual desktops and set the number of workspaces to 4 or more, row to 1 and check different widgets for each desktop

Click Apply

Now you should have the wallpaper for 4.10 appear on your screen. You should have all the Ultimate Edition wallpapers, and if you do not know, there are more in usr/share/backgrounds.

The above post will also remove yarssr, update-manager, ubuntu software-center, and install the geany editor.

I had no permission issues with this, and I encountered these in 4.10, 4.10.1, and Debian 4.10.2. Generally, I avoid upgrades on Ultimate Edition like the plague, however, kwin just would not run, and that simply is not acceptable.
When starting, there will be crash reports, and many reboots will be required, also if you do not know how to run KDE, your journey will be long, but I will try to point out the specific ways to setup desktop switching, sounds, cube, transparency, etc..

For Fun

Adding Ubuntu Satanic Edition

You will need to go to

http://ubuntusatanic.org/installation.php

To add a repository

First you will need the key

Open Terminal

Code: Select all

wget -q http://ubuntusatanic.org/ubuntu-se-key.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -

Go root

Code: Select all

su

Open the editor

Code: Select all

geany

Open sources list

root/etc/apt/sources.list

Code: Select all

deb http://ubuntusatanic.org/hell precise main

Add the source to your list.

Save and exit

Go to terminal and update

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update

Now the next part is a little different

Where it says installing the packages you need to click on 4:3 or widescreen ratio...click on your ratio and it will ask you to open with apturl, you have this but you have to navigate to it in the open with menu, and it is located in usr/bin/

Check remember my choice and then install both the gnome and kubuntu packages and the screensavers.

Open terminal

Code: Select all

sudo reboot

There are instructions on the site for setting this up,

I didn't read them, and I just realised that
