How can i install a Kde 4.2 beta System

Mon Nov 17, 2008 6:25 pm

I'm looking for a easy way to install a Kde 4.2 beta System.

It would be great if i can see the hole way from Kde 4.2 beta to the 4.2 final.

Is it possible ?

why not?

either you could dl and compile from source (too much work) or use a distro that has it available such as openSuse. In Suse it's the kde4 unstable repos (there's 3 - community, extra and desktop)

these are for 11.0

You can use the Neon kde-nightly builds by adding this to your sources.list:

Code: Select all

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main

and sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kde-nightly

What is the install location of kde-nightly? Can I use them with the same account I am using KDE 4.1? Are there different ~/.kde directories for both versions?

So many questions. But I just want to be sure something is deleted.

It installs to .kde-neon and none of your normal kde settings will be touched. After installing you can log out and select kde nightly as your session type and you'll be able to play around without damaging anything.

Cheers.

I read about some problems with installing the nightly packages on intrepid, so it is probably better to start it with another user.

You get the svn version, but that depends on how often these packages get an update. Uninstalling works the same way like with other software, e.g.
sudo apt-get remove kde-nightly.
