Great! I'm glad to see some kubuntu love with the updater! Mention of this in the announcement is actually what prompted me to install it directly (instead of just running the live CD and oohing and aahing from there). So here's what happened:
I put the first line in the repositories and it did nothing after hitting 'finish' on the upgrade wizard. I read the instructions again and voila, I entered the wrong deb line since I updated to KDE 3.5.6, so tried again.. and voila! it all started. Note, you might want a message to prompt the user if they don't have kubuntu-desktop installed, because it doesn't do anything in that case.. and people might get confused (I thought I had it installed). So, it began downloading and I noticed that there is no 'cancel' button... so I guess I'm now stuck with going forward with the upgrade, since I had a sinking feeling every time I hovered the mouse over the 'X' button at the top corner of the window (this is a beta after all). The diff dialog came up for a few of the config files and I prompted to replace after reviewing the changes. Great, very simple (though what if you need to merge the changes?). Only oddity with that dialog was that it opened up to this teeny tiny window - perhaps the default should be at least 640x480.. (; Also ran into a part where I had to press enter in the terminal - it was something about having to stop some unsupported services, but there were no services listed.. If the terminal wasn't shown, would I have known to open the terminal to press enter? hmm.. also, to keep things easy, perhaps say 'show detailed progress' instead of 'show terminal'?. One thing that got me is the download speed of the macromedia flash plugin - so painfully slow for 2mb of data.. that part took a good 30+ minutes! though curious why 100% cpu usage (python) during the download *shrug* ** Error here: At the end, got an error message: "error during commit - E:Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code(1)" - this was during removing unsupported packages.. I closed the dialog, and now, all is good! Great job! I love not having to manually type things in a terminal window to perform the upgrade. Hope this information helps!
