Kubuntu To Be Sponsored By Blue Systems, Rather Than Canonical

Posted by timothy on from the flexibility-is-good dept.

JRiddell writes "Kubuntu, the KDE flavour from Ubuntu, has found a new sponsor in Blue Systems. They will be providing more resources than were available by previous sponsor Canonical. The project will remain much the same: community led, KDE focused, Ubuntu flavour. With the new independence it can branch out into new markets such as a Kubuntu Active flavour for tablets."

    1) Install Ubuntu 12.04 (beta, for now)

    2) Open terminal

    3) sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

    4) Log out and back in, selecting GNOME Classic as Desktop Environment

    5) ???

    6) Profit!!!

    Actually, there is no step 5. :)

    Or rather than step 3, you can get GNOME 3 by doing "sudo apt-get install gnome-shell"

    new step four step 4 slit wrists

    fixed it for you

    ---Saying gnome 3 is better than windows 8 not so much a compliment as it is damning with light praise.
