    Proper way to update KDE to 4.5.4?

    Ok, I'm doing something wrong, and now working on the THIRD reinstall of Kubuntu.

    I have 10.10 (x86), the install goes along fine. I'm able to update the restricted drivers without a problem.

    A fresh install gives me version 4.5.1

    After rebooting and getting the updates, I had the KDE to the repository

    Code:
    ppa:kubuntu-ppa
    After refreshing the repository and doing a apt-get upgrade, I'll see several packages to be updated. Then I'll reboot.

    Once the computer reboots, it always "hangs" right after checking the battery status.

    I'll enter recovery mode, and apt-get update, apt-get upgrade, and even apt-get dist-upgrade.

    All show that there are now "42" packages that are being held back.

    This is a reproducible error for me, so I know I'm doing something wrong!

    I now have a fresh (again) install of Kubuntu, so the question is what is the proper way to update to 4.5.4?

    Thanks!

        Re: Proper way to update KDE to 4.5.4?

        Ok here's my recommendation.

        1. Open /etc/apt/sources.list
        Code:
        kdesudo kate /etc/apt/sources.list
        and uncomment the following lines:
        Code:
        # deb [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] maverick-backports main restricted universe multiverse
# deb-src [url]http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/[/url] maverick-backports main restricted universe multiverse
# deb [url]http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu[/url] maverick partner
        2. Run the following commands in terminal:
        Code:
        sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/ppa
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

          Changes in progress.

          You bring up a question I've had for a while.

          When you're in the command line, I type "sudo".

          However I've been told (and you confirm it) that when opening up something graphical, I should type "kdesudo".

          My question is why? I've used "sudo kate" before with no adverse affects, or did I just get lucky?

            DO NOT use sudo for GUI apps.. you will break stuff.. not all the time but its a bad habbit to develop
