When will Kubuntu have ports?
by Richaard on Tuesday 05/Feb/2008, @14:44
|
When will the Kubuntu versions be available?
Will KDE 4.0.2, or 4.0.3 make it into Kubuntu 8.04?
Will they finally have some custom touches to it, the way openSuSE brands their flavor of KDE?
Somebody please point me to answers. |

I second the question. +1
Ubuntu treats Kde+Kubuntu as their red-headed stepchild. Hopefully they will embrace the 4.x branch and actively develop/customize the desktop.

Kubuntu already has KDE 4.0.1 packages. They have a repository set up at ppa.launchpad.net.

Cool..
I'll try it out. Hopefully it won't feel as disjointed as Kubuntu's 4.0 release. (That was a headache to install. I tried 4.0 on my SuSE box with 1 click and it was easy!!!)
Wish me luck!

Where exactly is it?
I went to ppa.launchpad.net and couldn't find it.
Adding it to apt package manager didn't seem to do the trick either.
Maybe Kubuntu should just post it on their announcement page. (or include it in a new alpha. Like Alpha 4a or something. =) )
Well I guess I can always just give up on Kubuntu once again and try it with the next alpha of openSuSE. 2 more days until the release!!!

The repo link is given in the 4.0 release announcement.

Maybe they DID and you weren't able to read? Please make us a favor and go RTFM, kubuntu.org in this case. Thanks.

I tried them, it's not good there are worst than the 4.0 version. At least they correct the bug for the icons but nepomuk is not there so no possibility to use all the feature in it (like the comments). In konqueror the protocoles remote:// and applications:// were not working. You can't use anymore the kde application outside kde4. I did a purge and i'm waiting for hardy to try it a little bit more.

just in case, I tested another time and I discover another problem konqueror is useless at least as browser and with kubuntu package. As it is now, if you are clicking on a link in a webpage it ask you if you want to save the html file or open with konqueror. If you choose konqueror it open a new window... Not exactly something expected for a browser!
I tried to use konqueror to send this message but when I clicked on the preview button it send me on my /tmp/kde-ramses directory...
Something is weird with this packages I think.

Sounds like a configuration issue to me (had you run the alphas/betas/RCs with that account?), you could try moving your ~/.kde4 directory and then restarting KDE4 (or if you're just running apps in kde3, start up the kde4 app after should work fine) and see if it works then. If it doesn't, you can just delete the new ~/.kde4 directory and restore the old one.

to test kde4 I always deleting the .kde4 directory. Just to be sure I even create a new user just for the test and same result. I suspected a problem with some old package so I did a clean de-installation and re-installation (ie I purge all the file when deleting the kde4 package and even delete the /usr/lib/kde4 directory to be sure.

Questions -
- Why is it being hosted @ the launchpad site vs. the Kubuntu site?
- Is it signed with the same Kubuntu gpg key?
- Is it packaged by the same people @ Kubuntu?
- When will KDE 4.x be included in the official Ubuntu repo?
- Do I need to remove my current install of KDE 3.x beforehand?
- Should I feel "lucky"?

-- there's a service named "personal package archive" at Launchpad, many Kubuntu developers use it.
-- that in PPA are not.
-- yes, that's the Kubuntu/KDE team. apachalogger, stdin, jriddell -- you know them.
-- it is there alread: in Hardy it is in Universe section.
-- no, it install alongside; You con run KDE4 apps from KDE3.x or start a full KDE4 session from kdm.
-- hhmmm... You should try ;)

Please tell me how to do this.
After updating, my shortcuts to KDE4 apps no longer work, and if I try in konsole to write oku and press tab to complete it to okular-kde4, it doesn't complete it to anything. Same goes for kate, kat and two tabs only suggests katapult and kate(the kde3 version).
This is also mentioned in some posts in the ubuntuforums and no-one has responsed to those posts.

I honestly think that the ubuntu package are "not completely finish" but it's only my opinion.
Nothing is working fine, neither the interaction between kde3 and kde4, nor the icons (at least the ones for konqueror, systemsettings are correct but still missing the ones in the application menu for the differents categories and there are plenty of application with icons missing (okular + f6 for exemple) but this one is kde4 problem and not packaging, konqueror is not working as a browser and since dolphin this is is only purpose in kde....
By the way in the extra toolbar you cannot remove the text under the icons but agin this is kde4 problem (same problem with ubuntu or suse).
Next round kde4 4.0.2 will see :)

I hope this mess will get sorted out and streamlined by the next Kubuntu alpha 5.
It's still disjointed and harder to use than necessary.
If the Kubuntu team will keep treating the KDE 4.X branch as perpetual beta, they will be the last ones to adopt it in their final product, and probably loose users in the process.

The (K)ubuntu port sucks!
There is no customization, and next to no features. (K)ubuntu, please work on 4.0 some more.
We're trying Fedora and opensuse this week. Maybe they're better.
