That isnt a typo. Im running Ubuntu Gutsy and want to switch to Kubuntu. Is it possible to make the switch from within Ubuntu (im out of blank cds)? If so what do i do?

Re: upgrade from Ubuntu Gutsy to Hardy
You'll have to do it in two steps (which probably can be done in any order):
* Upgrade from Gutsy to Hardy
* Install the meta package Kubuntu-Desktop (you better doublecheck the name, I can't check at the moment)
This will leave the Gnome desktop and allow you to switch between them. I've tried to remove Gnome, but it didn't went cleanly and I had to add the kubuntu packagaes again, and even so, I ended up doing a clean install to get it working properly.
The easiest way, however, is probably to just get off your butt and get a blank CD. -
Re: upgrade from Ubuntu Gutsy to Hardy
Hello
I am new too but I am pretty sure you can do this
while in gnome type this
sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
after this completes type this
sudo aptitude remove gnome-desktop
I have read over and over aptitude is a cleaner route then apt-get when removing dependencies
Hope this helpsComment
