LMDE howto get KDE SC 4.9.5
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 6:14 pm
Code: Select all
$ kde4-config --version
Qt: 4.8.2
KDE Development Platform: 4.9.5
kde4-config: 1.0
and it's not *that* hard
prerequisites
- system updated at least to testing (http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... 1&t=123323 may be useful);
- good and recent backup (all went very good here, otherwise i wouldn't be writing this post but this procedure might react differently in your systems)
before we start
- we need to grab
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libhupnp1
http://packages.debian.org/sid/libqtsol ... soap-2.7-1
http://packages.debian.org/sid/librdf0
(this is what was missing on my system - sure this was a fairly vanilla install - if you find other problems post them)
getting kde 4.9.5
(kde 4.9.5 is not at debian proper at the moment; is at http://qt-kde.debian.net/)
(for simplicity here and to be inline with the instructions at qt-kde.debian i'm going to use aptitude)
Code: Select all
# aptitude keep-all
Code: Select all
deb http://qt-kde.debian.net/debian experimental-snapshots main
deb-src http://qt-kde.debian.net/debian experimental-snapshots main
Code: Select all
# aptitude update
Code: Select all
# aptitude install pkg-kde-archive-keyring
Code: Select all
# aptitude update
Code: Select all
# aptitude -t experimental-snapshots dist-upgrade
my output just for reference
