http://ubuntuforums.org – I had Kubutnu 12.04 which was shot after installing updates and could not fix the problem. So I installed Ubuntu 12.04 from CD and I did not like the desktop and tried Edubuntu which I did not like either. Then I decided to switch over to Kubuntu again and used this command to do that Quote: sudo apt-get install kde-full the install went through and after restarting, it showed Kubuntu log in screen, but after signing in, it went to Edubuntu desktop environment. Can some one help me to fix this problem. Thanks (Hardware)

KDE 4.7 has been released just few days ago with many new features, updates, and applications. Read announcements Kubuntu Backports ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports has added KDE 4.7 for Ubuntu 11.04 Natty release.

I am running Ubuntu 12.04 and decided to try Kubuntu desktop. I didn't like so tried to remove it but it has left a lot of KDE appliances still on the machine . I used 'aptitude' to install and aptitude to remove it . Although it now says that Kubuntu is no longer installed there are plenty of stuff left over .

i intalled kubuntu 10.01, then ugraded to kubuntu 12.04 then after a while i used sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop in order to have a desktop environment just like a brand new installed ubuntu 12.04, but some of nice visual effects-like workspace switcher or messages about connecting to a network or a vpn connection establishing or failing that show in the top right of screen and they blur when

I did a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 (64bit), then updated to 12.10 (64bit) over the web. I then added the kubuntu backports so that I could install KDE (kubuntu-desktop). Did an update of the repository. Then tried to install kubuntu-desktop. It is complaining that xorg won't be updated, and thus I can't install kubuntu-desktop.

I haven't been happy with the Unity desktop so I thought that I would install the kubuntu desktop to see if that would be better.

I think that I have not fully understood the implications of this.

I've been using Ubuntu for about 3 weeks now, 64-bit Unity wasn't exactly what I was looking for, so I installed KDE using

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

It works well, but with a slight problem. Whenever I create a new shortcut on the Desktop, the center of the screen has this swirling icon. While this is there, I can't left-click on anything on the desktop.

Ubuntu - Kubuntu help needed. 2 years 44 weeks ago

I just installed Ubuntu on my home desktop computer this morning, and I am having fun exploring this new alternative to Microsoft. I originally tried to install Kubuntu, but after multiple unsuccessful attempts I gave Ubuntu a try and it worked like a charm. I would still like to try Kubuntu, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me why it wouldn't install.

Here's what I did:

Following the release of Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precise Pangolin), the Kubuntu team has just announced that its KDE-based Ubuntu OS, Kubuntu, has also reached version 12.04.2.

Kubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Long Term Support) introduces KDE SC 4.8.4 desktop environment, which brings a number of minor fixes and updates.

Highlights of Kubuntu 12.04.2 LTS:

• The power management configuration interface ha

I installed this KDE Version with the commands from this link (on my Kubuntu 11.10) and after that i removed it with your commands because it freezes all the time.

But when i log in in Kunbutu it is always this version.

I tried with purge kubuntu* to remove all Kubuntu Pieces, but when after that I install kubuntu-desktop again it is again the newest ppa Version.

Can you help me to return to t
