A Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Xubuntu/*buntu Installation, all package dependencies will be resolved using the repositories stated below or the official distribution repositories.

How to use Neon (KDE)

  • Add deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu jaunty main to your /etc/apt/sources.list file
  • Update the package cache and install the package kde-nightly in your preferred Package Manager
  • Log out
  • Choose KDE Nightly (Neon) from the session menu
  • Log in again

If you want more applications than provided by the kdebase (kde-nightly) you can install kde-nightly-kdemultimedia, kde-nightly-kdegraphics etc.

Disclaimer

You can install all Neon packages along your Distribution's KDE installation, since it's using own paths for it's files and configurations (i.e. your configurations will be stored in $HOME/.kde-neon)

Even though we try to keep your data secure, you should always be aware that Neon is providing mostly unreleased and therefore untested software, which might as well eat your system.

Due to limited processing power in the Launchpad buildfarm only some parts of KDE are built, and also not every night. More parts of KDE might be added later on, though.
