[SOLVED] Upgrading to KDE 4.5

[ElWray]

I just read 4.5 was released..

So, I'm stuck with 4.4.2 so far. Running on Lucid 10.04.
How can I upgrade to 4.5?

Thanks,
ElWray

open a konsole put in the following commands
[code=konsole]
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[/code]
if you get any errors use

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -f 
sudo dpkg --configure -a

use dist-upgrade -f until no more errors then use dpkg

and then restart. when all finished.

[code=konsole]
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[/code]

After adding the repository, you need to 'update the package cache' with:

sudo apt-get update

Then you can proceed with:

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
