This is the first book of its kind to cover the hottest new Linux distribution, and will teach you how to make the most of your Ubuntu desktop.

To complement my previous post about configuring Ubuntu Breezy for KDE 3.5, now I present a way to configure SUSE’s YaST repository for KDE 3.5.

From the SUSE desktop, open YaST. In KDE, it is located under K Menu -> System -> YaST. Select Installation Source.

Add
Protocol: HTTP
Server: ftp.gwdg.de
Repo:
pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/
update_for_10.0/yast-source/

And, you are done, you can upgrade to KDE 3.5 after that. Please refer to Adding Package Repositories to YaST, if you still don’t know how to add them.

If you had difficulty playing DVDs, then you might need libdvdcss2, a library that enable you to watch DVDs in your Ubuntu GNU/Linux box.

Just download libdvdcss2_1.2.8-1unofficialubuntu3_i386.deb from
ftp://cipherfunk.org/pub/packages/ubuntu/pool/main/libd/libdvdcss/

and then execute this command in console :

$ sudo dpkg -i libdvdcss2_1.2.8-1unofficialubuntu3_i386.deb

You should be able to playback your DVD after that.

Warning : It might be illegal in some country to download and use this library, proceed with caution as you might break international law.

KDE 3.5 has been released on November 29, 2005. I bet that some people are trying to get their hands on the new desktop environment.

I’ve found a nice tutorial that helps Ubuntu Breezy 5.10 user install KDE 3.5 painlessly

OK, here it goes :

Login as root and run the following commands from the console

wget http://people.ubuntu.com/~jriddell/kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg
apt-key add kubuntu-packages-jriddell-key.gpg

Add the following lines to /etc/apt/sources.list

# Ubuntu 5.10 KDE 3.5 Repository
deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde35 breezy main

Run the following commands

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
