The latest installation instructions for KDE Plasma
Hello Linux Geeksters. As you may know, KDE 4.13 RC has been recently released, coming only with bug-fixes, due to the fact that it has reached the feature freeze state.
As a reminder, KDE 4.13 Stable will be used on Kubuntu 14.04, as default.
In this article I will show you how to install KDE 4.13 RC on Ubuntu 13.10 Saucy Salamander and Linux Mint 16 Petra.
You can either add the ppa to your system, update the local repository index and upgrade the system:
$ $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
Or add the PPA, update the repo index and install the kde-standard and kubuntu-desktop packages:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install kde-standard kubuntu-desktop
