simonlang Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 What distro and theme are you running? It looks awesome. I guess I'll have to drop XFCE. to your surprise this is the default kubuntu 15.10 as it ships, except the wallpaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junner2003 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Nice. Will check it out this week. Got a little tired of Xubuntu anyway. simonlang 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlang Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Nice. Will check it out this week. Got a little tired of Xubuntu anyway. make sure to report back here then. that's the nice thing with linux, so many desktops to chose from. i am currently trying out elementary os besides my kubuntu which is still my main distro. i see a lot of progress and can't wait how things will look in 1 or 2 years from now on.

Junner2003 Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Sure will do. Might take a while because I have been on XFCE for too long and probably will have to get over "first impression frustrations" because I can't find Mousepad and Thunar. Too often, people just pop in a Live CD/DVD, don't find the tools they're used to and call a distro crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I seem to have broken my 15.04 Kubuntu trying to install kde-plasma 5.4 from the ppa's that seem to be around. *sigh* Gotta love apt when it runs into a situation it can't cope with. And yes, I tried the -f command to force install, and again to remove ... no dice. I'm open to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney T. Administrators Posted September 27, 2015 Administrators Share Posted September 27, 2015 (edited) As I stated back a few posts, this is a great start, but has its glitches. Being a beta (at least in my mind) release, I would leave it as a disc version or in virtual box until it gets refined enough for the desktop. It has some excellent features, but isn't ready for prime time yet. Edited September 28, 2015 by Barney T. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonlang Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 talking about excellent features... i just discovered that don't know since when it has been there and probably the average user won't need it, but it's nice nevertheless.

I'm open to suggestions. what ppa have you taken? there are more than just 1 ppa out each suiting different needs. i suggest you take the weekly stable snapshot ppa:kubuntu-ci/stable-weekly there is also a weekly unstable snapshot ppa:kubuntu-ci/unstable-weekly and if you like to break your system on a regular basis take the direct landing ppa ppa:kubuntu-ci/unstable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlang Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 What version of Kubuntu do I need to install to start using this?

simonlang Posted September 28, 2015 Author Share Posted September 28, 2015 Another thing i noticed it. To show hidden files in dolphin, the old key combo strg+h is obsolete now and got replaced by Alt + . makes sense if you think that all hidden files in linux are starting with a point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unobscured Vision Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks boss, but it didn't help. I've got a conflicted package that it *needs* but won't install because it's conflicting with a locally installed one. Here's my terminal output: Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these. The following packages have unmet dependencies: kde-telepathy : Depends: kde-telepathy-minimal (= 15.04.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu15.04~ppa2) but 0.9.0ubuntu1 is installed Depends: kde-telepathy-send-file (>= 15.04.0) but 0.9.0-0ubuntu1 is installed kde-telepathy-text-ui : Depends: libktpotr9 (>= 15.03.80) but it is not installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f. I'm using the stable-weekly ppa. And yes, I get the same results whether I use -f or not. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonlang Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 another new thing i discovered whenever you have more than 1 window open for the same program instance... let's say 2 windows of firefox or 2 windows of virtualbox and you click on that in the taskbar it automatically switches to the window overview showing all open windows and you can chose from. this improves the workflow big time imho Unobscured Vision 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
