Window resizing & snapping options

[Feathers McGraw]

Ha,

So I did what I thought I needed to do to upgrade KDE, but looking at help in Dolphin shows I'm still using KDE version 4.8.5.

What I did was:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot

What have I missed?

do

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

the dist-upgread will move your KDE ver up

After a bit of googling, I did this:

sudo apt-get install kde-standard

...and now the problem is fixed! Kudos

vinnywright, thanks for your reply! I think that's probably what I should have done, and install kde-standard installed a new version of something slightly different to what usually comes with Kubuntu... but it's working, so whatever!

Thanks again, all of you.

Well that will have pulled in a few additional KDE bits that aren't part of a normal Kubuntu installation, but no harm done.

Please run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade too, to ensure that all packages on your computer (not just the ones included in kde-standard) are upgraded to their latest versions. This is good basic system maintenance.
