I am new to Ubuntu Linux.
I am running 14.04 on my desktop and laptop.
I am having trouble installing Krita 2.9.

I am currently running Krita 2.9 on Windows 7 64bit ultimate, but,
I prefer running Krita on Ubuntu because it performs better.

I've used the following PPA as show on the Krta.org website:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dimula73/krita
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install krita-2.9

It installs but no icon appears when I search
through my apps and it cancels my previous
install of Krita 2.8.5.

Do I need to perform something else before I use:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:dimula73/krita
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install krita-2.9

Thank you in advance and please remember that I am very new
to Ubuntu Linux when writing your response.

I've run in similar problem with Lubuntu; it's seems like fail to put the icon link.

You should be anyway able to run Krita with: /opt/project-neon/bin/krita
([alt+f2] or terminal)

When you're installing Krita using the PPA , you will also have to install the icons and launchers

Use this set of command and you should be ok

cd /opt/project-neon/share/ && sudo cp -r applications/ /usr/share/

d /opt/project-neon/share/ && sudo cp -r icons/ /usr/share/

sudo ln -s /opt/project-neon/bin/krita /usr/bin/krita

These will create a copy of krita icon in the icons directory .

Thanks for the help guys.
It did not work.
Oh well.
