Upgrading as we type. 674 BM over a crappy ADSL connection

I'm off to upgrade as well. Thank you very package team!!!

EDIT:

Upgrade went without issue and so far so good. Feels a bit snappier, but it could just be the .1 effect. If I run into any problems I will let everyone know. Thanks again for the packages!

Dist-upgraded to 4.9.1 this morning. I had a 'glitch' that happened to be self induced. A short time back, I was working with sumski on the address auto-completion issue in Kmail/Kontact. During that time I had put two packages on 'Hold' [preventing upgrading -- freezing at current version], namely libmessagecomposer4 and libkdepim4 -- they were held at version 4.9.0. This resulted in Kontact (the suite) being removed. Once I realized what had happened, I 'un-held' those two packages by installing them:

sudo apt-get install libmessagecomposer4 libkdepim4

Then I updated the package cache again:

sudo apt-get update

Then installed kontact:

sudo apt-get install kontact

Then I launched kontact and Voilà, kontact in all its glory is back. Happy camper in KDE 4.9.1 land.

I had this PPA - https://code.launchpad.net/~benoitg/...digoogle-daily installed for Google calendar in Kontact.
I had to uninstall "akonadi-google" package before I could update properly, think it clashed with new version of Kontact.
I think Kontact 4.9.1 has the Google function built in, Google calendar still works OK in Kontact with akonadi-google removed.

It definetly fixed some bugs but one still exists. If you de select the menu bar in dolphin you do not receive the cog on the right hand side.

Oh wow I just recognized the control button. Okay that is different. I like the old way better.

Broke my system After login I get a blank screen with my mouse pointer. Tried ppa-purge, but that has so far failed. Any ideas??

[blackpaw]

ppa-purge was not a good idea kde is a little to complex to uninstall that way.

try
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

I retried ppa-purge and got it working again. It didnt work the first time because my /var partition was full and the system couldnt log anything. Cleaned it up a bit, uncommented backports ppa in sources, updated, and then ran it again. Works perfectly.
