Hello . . .

First post. If this is the wrong area then please redirect it. Thank You.

Yesterday I downloaded Kubuntu 16.04 and after some minor inconveniences I was able to boot up and login.

I looked for a method to install the remainder of KDE but I ran into problems. The meta packages kubuntu-full and kubuntu-desktop apparently installed nothing as the two install details show.

I have already queried a Kubuntu forum with negative results.

My searches have brought up the fact that kde-full and other meta packages are no longer packaged. Does KDE have a meta package that will install the remainder of the files? Hopefully Kubuntu has it. I have many years ago loaded the remainder of the files individually but it is a last resort.

Any help appreciated.

really is a packaging question and thus most appropriate on the Kubuntu forums

as fair as I've read what you've done is correct, at least if you were adding KDE to a non-KDE Ubuntu install

what packages aren't installed? could they they be from KDE Extra? Could it be that what you have is what Kubuntu considers a base install?
