I wanted to try out the new KDE 4 Kubuntu, and I am able to locate the
kubuntu-desktop in synaptic but when I search for kubuntu-kde4-desktop nothing comes up.

I found a tutorial website here, but it said to install kubuntu-kde4-desktop

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Yes, universe is checked as enabled. Below are more details:


Ok, under the Ubuntu Software tab I have checked:
(main)
(universe)
(restricted)
(multiverse)

On Third-Party software I have:
archive.canonical.com/ubuntu intrepid
archive.canonical.com/ubuntu intredpid (source code)
ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu intrepid (main)
packages.medibuntu.org/intrepid free non-free
pacakges.medibuntu.org/intrepid free non-free (source code)


Now, in synaptic there is a listing for kubuntu-desktop but not one that specifies KDE4.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop

abn91c is right--kubuntu-desktop in intrepid is now built around kde4
