I have a test system with Alpha 2 from march and want to be able to get latest weekly build without doing a fresh Kubuntu install.
-
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
will bring you up the the latest build

Thanks. I assumed that only did the Kububtu part.

Hi gadget,
If you're running a core/hybrid and you've built the repository list correctly then you just have to go to the KDE desktop and let it run the update/upgrade mechanism.
Cheers.

Hi Pigdog,
I had thought I was getting updates when doing it, but only the KUBUNTU updates were being processed.
I have a 64bit system and noticed that all athe updates are only i386.
How can I get the 64bit updates.

pigdog, the apt-get commands above are the command line equivalent of using the gui update tool in kde. much quicker and easier for us cli types ;)
gadget, there is no 64 bit version ready for testing yet. you installed the 32 bit version and should continue getting 32 bit updates.
-
For some reason the 64bit builds were abandoned after alpha-2.5.

Hi merkur2k,
Just commenting that the gui tool for some people is easier.
For "us cli types" (who started uploading instructions using punch tape on 110/300 baud terminals) and tl1 types (old telco guys) gui's are nice and pretty but executing one command at the prompt beats migrating through a bunch of layers any day.
Cheers.

Thanks Zaerc for explaining how i had a 64bit system running, but not getting any recent updates.
Will downgrade it to 32bit to continue getting updates.
Thanks.
