1. Nice post i have ubuntu and i’ve try to install this. Thankyou

2. I’m not getting why you want poeple to “sudo bash” first when “sudo echo ‘deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main’ >> /etc/apt/sources.list” will do the same thing without leaving a root shell open

3. This installs nightly-builds witch is sometimes unuseable.

   Using this way, this would be more stable

   http://www.kubuntu.org/node/58

   Have fun with it.

4. @sysop:

   Because “sudo echo ” will give super user perms to the command echo.It will not open the fd with superuser perms for append.Is the nickname just for fun?
   FYI, if you “don’t want an open root shell” you could do for example:

   echo ‘something’ | sudo tee -a /your/file/path/here

5. hi,
   i have tried to install it under ubuntu hardy and it seems the packages list is empty, Any clue?

6. Unfortunately I chose to stick with Hardy for its “long term support”…
   I didn’t realize that it only applies to Ubuntu and not Kubuntu

7. hello

   Like bettle in previous comment I have add repo- for hardy 8.04, but it seems emtpy, any other repo- to try?
   thanks :)

8. refering to the kubuntu website kde 4.2 is not available for ubuntu hardy. you have to use intrepid or jaunty. i use intrepid myself….

9. I get the following;

   W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn’t be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY 778978B00F7992B0

10. Doesn’t work on Hardy as stated above.
    Anybody knows how to install KDE 4.2 on (K)ubuntu Hardy?

11. @Toni:
    Installing the repository’s public key as root will help.
    # gpg –recv-keys 778978B00F7992B0
    # gpg –armor –export 778978B00F7992B0 | apt-key add –

12. @Root

    toni@~:~$ sudo gpg –recv-keys 778978B00F7992B0
    gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/toni/.gnupg/gpg.conf’
    usage: gpg [options] [filename]
    toni@~:~$ sudo gpg –armor –export 778978B00F7992B0 | apt-key add –
    gpg: WARNING: unsafe ownership on configuration file `/home/toni/.gnupg/gpg.conf’
    usage: gpg [options] [filename]
    gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.

    Sorry for the potential irration, but I am at a loss as to what to do from here. Is my OpenPGP package hosed?

    Thanks.

13. @Sysop
    The safest, leanest, best way to accomplish this is:

    sudo sh -c ‘echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main >> /etc/apt/sources.list’

    or like Ilias mentioned is another way of many ways.

    sudo bash is just as bad as ‘sudo su -‘.

    @Sysop, dude, ummm, omg… Same thoughts as Ilias…

14. Toni, as your regular user, run:
    gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 778978B00F7992B0

    then

    gpg –export –armor 778978B00F7992B0 | sudo apt-key add –

    and it should work

15. after that run
    sudo apt-get update

    and you shouldnt get any errors

16. sorry. i keep forgetting to put everything in. the reason your command fails toni, is because the /home/toni/.gnupg/gpg.conf file is owned by toni and not root. when you sudo that command it runs it as root, which does not own the file. That is why you run the gpg commands as your regular user then pipe the second using sudo for the apt-update

17. I solved my problems with Ubuntu by running the following commands sequentially. The first command did the trick for me.

    sudo su –
    gpg –keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com –recv 778978B00F7992B0
    gpg –export –armor 778978B00F7992B0 | sudo apt-key add –
    sudo apt-get install kde-nightly

18. Hi,

    I compiled kde 4.2 for Hardy (but no backport from intrepid, its a new additonal kde that will be completely installed into /opt/kde4) and I tried to make a debian package:

    http://regenduft.de/article.pl?title=KDE_4.2_for_K-Ubuntu_Hardy_8.04

    Any help with making a real repository is appreciated.

19. KDE 4.2 is not available for Hardy in porject Neon!
