KDE 4.7.3 - when available for 11.10?

[Caesar]

Does anyone know when will KDE 4.7.3 be officially available for Kubuntu 11.10? Or perhaps it is already and I'm, as a newbie to Kubuntu, don't know how to up-grade my DE?

Open konsole.

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

Press Enter at the prompt. When it finishes

exit

Probably it will prompt you (with a yellow logout icon) that you need to restart the computer. So go ahead and reboot it (or do Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in there, and enter "sudo service kdm restart").

Now open konsole again, and check "Help > About KDE". What version does it say?

This is what I get

Help > About KDE
bash: About: Brak dostępu

"Access denied", even when I precede the command with sudo. But I checked in Dolphin and it says I have version 4.7.2, so I guess the newest version isn't available yet. Why did I have to up-date my system in console? I thought Kubuntu does that by itself, using Muon i.e.

Summary:

KDE 4.7.3

Oneiric

The plan:
-
- test
- Copy to updates ppa when released
- test more
- SRU

SRU: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates


The Kubuntu is releasing the KDE updates from the PPA repositories ( http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-473 ). The KDE update could move to the Ubuntu updates when it has been tested by the PPA users and it has been approved (SRU).

My thoughts - I could be wrong : The KDE 4.7.4 ( http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KD...lease_Schedule ) is comming out soon: "Tuesday, December 6, 2011: KDE 4.7.4". I don't think that the KDE 4.7.3 will move to the Ubuntu updates.

4.7.2 is the latest version that is available from the main (official) repos for 11.10. 4.7.3 can be installed from kubuntu ppa (http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-sc-473). It might eventually end up in the main repos as well, but I have no ETA on that.

Help > About KDE wasn't meant to be run as a command, but to choose Help and About KDE from konsole's menu (of course you can also do that in dolphin, like you did).

EDIT: looks like OneLine was quicker.

"Access denied", even when I precede the command with sudo. But I checked in Dolphin and it says I have version 4.7.2, so I guess the newest version isn't available yet. Why did I have to up-date my system in console? I thought Kubuntu does that by itself, using Muon i.e.

Muon is angry at you for constantly rolling your eyes, so you had to use the command line.
