[edc]

Topic title says all. When we can expect it on repo?

Re: KDE 4.3.4 has been released

If you are already running KDE 4.3.3, then when it's available you should see the updates in your notifier.

Re: KDE 4.3.4 has been released

On a somewhat related note, I wrote a post in the nvidia linux forums about performance improvements coming to KDE 4.

http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=142028

The relevant part regarding KDE 4.3.4 comes from their list of changes:

"A bugfix in Plasma's pixmap cache makes the workspace more responsive"

Sounds cool.

The KDE 4.3.4 packages are available in the ppa repo. The updated packages just came in minutes ago. I upgraded KDE with no problems.

Re: KDE 4.3.4 has been released

Just in case this happens to anyone else, I only had the backports PPA enabled to install 4.3.3. It appears 4.3.4 was only added to the Kubuntu Updates PPA. You will need to add the Kubuntu Updates PPA in order to get the 4.3.4 upgrade.

https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa

I don't know if they will add 4.3.4 to the backports PPA as well at some point.

for some reason, we can't say a ppa-only update to be "in the repository"

1. ppa will not be syncronized to ubuntu mirrors, so users using a local mirror will not have access to ppa (launchpad for some contries is unacceptably slow)
2. the "p" in ppa means "personal", but we need to see "official" release of the update, which can be in karmic-update or karmic-backport, but not in ppa.

Re: KDE 4.3.4 has been released

i have backports etc enabled.. and i did get 4.3.3. from ppa.. its still in my repos.. but I can't get 4.3.4. at all.. i reload, update and nothing... everything's enabled..
am I doing something wrong? or are the mirrors all over still populating?

You probably don't have the right ppa enabled. KDE 4.3.3 is in kubuntu backports ppa, which you likely have enabled, but KDE 4.3.4 is in kubuntu updates ppa. You can add this with:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa

You automatically lose points for not reading the comment two above yours in the same thread. Haha. Just Kidding.

Re: KDE 4.3.4 has been released

KDE used to hitch sometimes when maximizing certain windows, seems to be gone in 4.3.4. Cool.

Re: KDE 4.3.4 has been released

i have a problem with the ppa repository.
back then when i used jaunty there was an announcement for the new amarok. i innocently added the ppa and got the kde 4.3 in an early beta along with it. everything went unstable .
i used the ppa to install kde 3.3.4 for now but i'm in fear that i will get an early beta of kde 4.4 through the ppa soon. any idea if that will happen?

Re: KDE 4.3.4 has been released

The PPA repositories are more or less experimental - when using the PPA repositories:


A) Do not enable the wrong PPA repository
- There are many Kubuntu PPA repositories:
> Kubuntu Backports
> Kubuntu Updates
> Kubuntu Updates Staging
> Kubuntu Experimental

- enable the right PPA repository
- update package database
- look what upgrades are available
- upgrade
- disable the PPA repository

B) Do not upgrade your installation blindly.
- enable the right PPA repository
- update package database
- look what upgrades are available
- upgrade
- disable the PPA repository

C) Do not keep the PPA repositories enabled all the time.
- enable the right PPA repository
- update package database
- look what upgrades are available
- upgrade
- disable the PPA repository
