        Sad to say, KDE 3.5.6 is only available for Edgy and Feisty. Unless the packagers/maintainers decide otherwise, Dapper will remain to be stable (long term support), and with less updated/recent versions.

              Get the verification keys:
              Code:
              wget [url]http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg[/url]
              sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
              Add one or more mirror to sources.list:
              Code:
              sudo sh -c "echo deb [url]http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-356[/url] edgy main >> /etc/apt/sources.list"
              Update your system:
              Code:
              sudo apt-get update
              sudo apt-get upgrade
              Edit: corrected command to add mirror to sources.list

                    I haven't noticed a change in feisty, are you using edgy?. And how are they messed up? (wrong fonts/size/antialiasing etc.)

                      They changed, yes, though I wouldn't call it messed up. It's more an improvement this time. On the other hand I think it's quite annoying that default fonts seem to be changed every other day.

                        tom@desktop:~$ sudo apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
                        OK

                          Ok, done it now . Managed to add the mirror to the apt/sources list and upgraded. So far no messed up fonts or anything different but will report back once i've browsed more thoroughly the new packages.

                            The only thing that changed for me after the update were the preset system sounds. They just defaulted to no sound. Nothing major, just had to reset them again.

                            BTW, is there a KDE sound themer?
