    Installed Kubuntu desktop on Ubuntu - effect on upgrading?

    I have installed the Kubuntu desktop after using Ubuntu for some months. I really like KDE and when Intrepid is released, I want to stick with Kubuntu. Any idea if this will complicate the upgrade please?

    If you plan on waiting until the official release of Intrepid I don't see a problem. you should be able to use Adept to upgrade to the new system.

        I upgraded from Ubuntu to KDE4 desktop, however when I run lsb_release -a in a konsole I still get:

        Code:
        No LSB modules are available.
        Distributor ID: Ubuntu
        Description:  Ubuntu 8.04.1
        Release:    8.04
        Codename:   hardy
        Shouldn't it read:
        Code:
        No LSB modules are available.
        Distributor ID: Kubuntu
        Description:  Kubuntu 8.04.1
        Release:    8.04
        Codename:   hardy
        any idea why, or suggestions as to how I could correct this?

          no, that is what it should read as the base, underlying system (kernel, system tools and libraries, etc) is Ubuntu. Kubuntu is for the most part Ubuntu with a different desktop environment, so your lsb-release output is correct. You don't want to "fix" this as it probably would mess up future upgrades. As Kubuntu/ubuntu/xubuntu all can co-exist on your computer, all using the same base, they all need the same version-name.
