2009/2/9 Ashik S : > > @Everyone, how do you get KDE 4.2 on Ubuntu ? Is it on the repositories ? AFAIK, KDE-4.2 is not available for any released ubuntu versions (Intrepid still has 4.1). The upcoming release(Jaunty) will have KDE-4.2. Here is a guide to install kde-4.2, but from the comments, it's risky. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-kde-42-beta-in-ubuntu-810-intrepid-ibex.html -- Manilal K M : മണിലാല് കെ എം. http://libregeek.blogspot.com --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ "Freedom is the only law".

@Everyone, how do you get KDE 4.2 on Ubuntu ? Is it on the repositories ? As for me, it was pushed to my desktop as an update. I usually have the full KDE install because i like it that way ( There is no KOffice though ) Regards, Ashik S --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ "Freedom is the only law".

Why dont you upgrade to KDE 4.2 ? 4.0 was a release that announced that the new KDE is here. It is very buggy and its better to use GNOME than go with KDE 4. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ "Freedom is the only law".

[fsug-tvm] Re: kde look and feel
I have some thing like vista menu, this is KDE 4, not 4.2 i use ubuntu, I still not fully liking this kde, too big icons in the desktop which open in a single click I installed kcontrol, so icould find what you said. eventhough i changed themes look and feels remains the same. initially i was not able to set desktops more than two, but some how i corrected it. strange enough when installed kde for the first time , certain things didnt work. but when i reinstalled it , its working. i dont like that java swing look and feel really dont. now how do i change the menu style ? using kcontrol?

You can change the default KDE looks from : Right click -> 'Appearance Settings' and choosing plasma themes there or installing new ones by clicking the 'New Theme' button there. You can also get more cotrol over appearance ( Icons , Color scheme etc ...) from 'System Settings' -> Appearance. You can launch System Settings from 'K Menu-> System-> System Settings' IMHO if you go for looks, stick with KDE. The most beautiful desktops i have seen are either KDE or heavily customized fluxbox/xfce. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ "Freedom is the only law".

Its having a great look and feel. Far better that previous version. And it is pretty organised than Gnome.
