by sahab on Jun.11, 2010, under kubuntu, RHEL5, Ubuntu
This article covers the Linux Kernel changes from 2.6.30 to 2.6.34. “Only yesterday it felt like the 2.6.30 kernel came out (June 9, 2009
- almost a year ago) and we are already up to 2.6.34 (May 17, 2010)with 2.6.35 patches waiting at the gate like an excited thoroughbred
waiting at the post. From 2.6.30 to 2.6.34 there has been a great deal of kernel development that impacts file systems and other aspects of
Linux storage..”

IMPORTANT NOTE: The packages for Jaunty are not officially supported. KDE 4.3 will be part of Karmic Koala Kubuntu 9.10 which will be officially released in October.
If you still want to continue, you can add these repositories by running the following command in a terminal:
#sudo sh -c “echo ‘deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu jaunty main’ >> /etc/apt/sources.list”
#sudo sh -c “echo ‘deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/staging/ubuntu jaunty main’ >> /etc/apt/sources.list”
|
| Then add the GPG key: |
|
#sudo apt-key adv –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv-keys 8AC93F7A
And finally to upgrade to KDE 4.3:
#sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade Or, if you don’t have KDE installed already: #sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop It is better to use ‘aptitude’ because if you don’t like your new desktop you can simply uninstall the packages with all its dependencies and you are back to the system state where you were before. That is not possible directly with apt-get (or synaptic etc.) (works with –purge but I find aptitude better, but let’s not get into a pointless discussion). But if you normally use apt-get, than use that instead of aptitude!
Removing KDE 4.3 from Jaunty
Removing KDE 4.3 from Jaunty and going back to 9.04 KDE version (4.2.2)
To revert back to the default KDE version in Kubuntu 9.04, you must firstly remove KDE entirely: If you installed it using aptitude, not apt-get: #sudo aptitude remove kubuntu-desktop If you installed it using apt-get: #sudo apt-get autoremove kde –purge or #sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop -–purge Then remove the newly added repositories press Alt + F2 on your keyboard and enter: #gksu gedit /etc/apt/sources.list #sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop |
