Omar Federer Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Hey guys, i don't know if it's a stupid question but, i'm trying to install KDE on my box (KI pro) under Ubuntu (Armbian_5.37_S9xxx_Ubuntu_xenial_3.14.29_mate_20171212.img) if possible, can you show me how ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talraash Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Try add ppa kubuntu-ppa/backports and apt-get install kubuntu-desktop... Looks like it have prebuid arm64 and armhf packages. But, better if you build all the necessary packages for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagnerBG Posted December 29, 2017 Share Posted December 29, 2017 Install "tasksel" and add the needed de through there - Kubuntu desktop for KDE, Lubuntu desktop for LXDE and so on. Tasksel will install all dependencies and will fill your installation with a bunch of packages. Just to be warned - KDE and Gnome are too heavy for any present ARM device, so using this will only be a torture. There is a reason Amrbian to use XFCE. LXDE is suitable too.
