Kde 4.2 ?

[brunomiguel]

I've installed KDE 4 through this repo and changed .kde-neo's permissions, but I can't use it. Anyone experiencing the same problem?

Add this to your sources

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

and sudo apt-get install kde-nightly

log out and change the session.

It will along side 1.4.3 so it's quite safe to install

Any repo which has beta-1 and not the nightly builds?

Nice. Looks like it was released today. Anyone tried it out yet? How stable is it?

I tried out the preceding nightly--granted that was a nightly, but it was segfaulting left and right (just on login and logout)--my installed apps weren't even populated into the menu....Plasma seemed much better though-I liked what I saw and what worked there. 'Twas easy enough to remove the nightly though. But that was the preceding nightly, and of course YMMV.
