Is there an official kubuntu KDE 4.3 beta 1 PPA yet ?


Thanks,

It's got to be coming. Keep a look out at www.kubuntu.org too

Re: Kde 4.3 beta 1 PPA

no. Soon, but no definite date yet, as the devs are still setting things up for Karmic (9.10) and once that is done, they will work on getting 4.3 beta once they are built for Karmic

But do remember that PPA repos are not truly 'official'

Re: Kde 4.3 beta 1 PPA

I've already upgraded to 4.2.3 fromo ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa, will this get in the way of a future 4.3 upgrade?

Re: Kde 4.3 beta 1 PPA

Nope, as it should be coming from the same ppa when the packages are ready

Re: Kde 4.3 beta 1 PPA

It looks like it could be coming from the experimental PPA.

Well, the updates have hit karmic as well, and kinda broke a rather good alpha...
Perhaps it works better in jaunty, but unless you really want to test the thing it may be better to wait a bit.

Re: Kde 4.3 beta 1 PPA

How broke are we talking?

Not as much as one would expect, but still annoying.

At the moment instead of a desktop (with widgets) I get a checkered surface with which I can't do anything, a panel with large fonts, and an empty notification area. I cannot use krunner or yakuake, but can start programs from kickoff, and windows appear to behave normally. Don't really know if there's anything else, since I just updated one hour ago.

I might just give it a go.

I added the experimental PPA and upgraded, got the same checker background. I can live with it over the weekend.

Re: Kde 4.3 beta 1 PPA

I had the same problem with missing backgrounds after installing the Kubuntu 9.10 alpha. I was able to remedy the problem by doing "sudo aptitude safe-upgrade"

Aptitude seemed to have found several kde packages that hadn't been upgraded to 4.2.85.

Not sure what the problem is. I'm trying to upgrade to 4.3 BETA via http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa...imental/ubuntu jaunty main and I'm getting the following errors with apt-get install -f:

Going back into Synaptic allows me to see a list of broken packages, but if I try to reinstall them I am informed that pretty much most of KDE and anything associated with it will be uninstalled. Ditto if I try to force the previous version of these packages. At this point, I'm afraid to reboot for fear that I won't be able to get to my desktop at all.

Re: Kde 4.3 beta 1 PPA

Exactly the same thing with me. Some serioulsy broken dependencies...
Anyone knows where to report bugs on this one?
