I started with hardy, base of 3.5, when 4.01 came out I updated to that. Just updated to 4.1 (release, not RC's or beta's). These are the steps I took. I haven't played with it a whole lot. I am sure there are easier steps but this worked for me. If you find something easier please post.
-Added the repository from the release page: http://www.kubuntu.org/news/kde-4.1
-Did apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade, dist-upgrade went about 1/2 way and then gave depend. errors. Did apt-get -f install and it fixed them.
-Did apt-get install kdeplasma-addons
-Logged out and restarted X server
-Noticed updates in adept updater, ran and applied all
-Restarted X again, noticed a huge visual difference
-Noticed new amarok and kontact not there.
-Went into package manager and installed amarok-kde4 and kontact-kde4
Lovin kde4. Especially folder view widget. Notes I made:
-KMAIL: Imported messages from kontact kde3 (/home/.../.kde/share/apps/kmail) gave me errors on a few things, but did import all of my messages.
-KONTACT: Couldn't figure out kontact import, so just copied old folders from kabc to new. Works great
-KORGANIZER: Tried to copy my calender std.ics from kd3 over but then kontact would crash on startup. Did merge of a 1.9MB std.ics file to kde4 one, took about 45 minutes. Kontact was still running very
slow, After I did an archive of old entries it is now back to full speed.
Problems found so far:
-Cant move appointments from one day to another on korganizer (neither drag/drop or edit works). It disppears, but no appear on new date, when go back to old date it is still there. (opened kde bug rpt)
-Amarok crashes when you exit, but it is just alpha.
-Tried to install widgets from web (kdelook weather and quickaccess), says installed but neither show up in list.
Great work!
Some of these probably have already been addressed, and researching now. Will update as I find solutions.
