KDE SC 4.4 rc1 Now Available for Karmic users

[claydoh]

Packages for the first release candidate of the KDE Software Compilation 4.4 are available for Karmic.

Add this repository to enable:
ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta

You can issue the command

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

This will add the repository and import the correct authentication key for the it.
Some packages will be removed, including some kdepim packages, but this is correct as there are some packaging differences from 4.3.x to 4.4.

Users of the Lucid development release are advised not to upgrade yet, as the packages are only half-built due to a breakage of the underlying graphics stack. The Ubuntu Xorg team is working fervently to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
Users of our stable 9.10 release can install it from the Kubuntu Beta PPA.

For both Lucid and Karmic, virtuoso packages are available. Install both the virtuoso-server and virtuoso-driver packages to enable Nepomuk support.

Support questions should be taken to the Karmic board
