1.7, 64 bit is excellent - want to add stable KDE, help....

[brjoon1021]

I posted earlier about trying KDE 4 which now does not seem like a good idea. I do like KDE and love having both Gnome and KDE installed. So, how would you recommend to have a stable, well integrated KDE desktop added to 1.7, 64-bit ? I am not especially needing the Kubuntu enhancements. I think Dolphin crashed a lot, in my opinion. Just a good KDE is fine with me, but Kubuntu-desktop is fine, too.

Thanks,

B

THIS CAN BORK YOUR Ultimate Edition

you have been warned...

1. Make sure all repo are enabled including backports

I don't suggest doing it in this fashion always better when "built" this way, but your request is my command (in a terminal):

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

or as reconstructor does for me:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -y --allow-unauthenticated kubuntu-desktop kate-plugins kcpuload kdeaddons kdeadmin kdeartwork kdegraphics kde-icons-* kde-kdm-themes kdenetwork kdetoys kdeutils knetworkmanager kuake

Sorry if you get the hammer (untested)
