Slightly late to the game, Kubuntu now has a Twitter and Facebook account to join the Google+ account. New headlines will go there and we've a fancy account from the nice people at SoDash that makes it easy to interact. Give us a Like or a Tweet. Read More

On our Plasma 5 build status page most of the packages are now a pleasing green colour. For the first time today I installed them all and logged in and... it worked! It took a bit of removing old caches and obsolete installs that'd I'd been making in the months previously and that nice temporary Next wallpaper everyone uses doesn't really get shipped so I had to add that and the icons sometimes work and sometimes don't and there's no plasma-nm release yet so I had to grab a copy and build that before I could use the network. But with some fiddle and wee bit ay faff, it works! Read More

OK, let me admit, it has been a while since I put serious amount of work into KPhotoAlbum. Life has come in the way you see :-) However, it was life (this time my daughter now almost 3 years old) that forced me back in the game. I still don't trust her with my laptop, so a tablet version of KPhotoAlbum was needed with which she could watch all our images. Read More

Today I released the Plasma Next Beta. It's the first major user of KDE Frameworks 5 and tidies up the internal and the externals of the Plasma desktop. At the Kubuntu meeting yesterday we decided not to ship Plasma Next by default in October but to make a secondary ISO for those who want to test it out while putting the Plasma 1 version into maintenance mode - updating the version and fixing the major bugs and not much more.

There's only 1 tool to deal with an unsupported Windows XP...

Trust in Me You've been waiting for it, we've been working hard on it.. it's the new Long Term Support release of Kubuntu! This means we've been working hard on removing bugs, polishing features and not adding new ones. This will probably be the last release before KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma Next gets introduced so for those who like to live life on the cautious side you'll be pleased to know the Long Term Support label means we'll have important bug fixes and security fixes for the next 5 years. It'll also get backports of important KDE software for the next couple of years. Read More
