How do I install only the KDE desktop (and not apps) on Unity?
- by Gaba_p
My question is pretty simple. I have Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity and I want to login with KDE.
I have seen recommendations to:
1- run the three commands:
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
2- run just the command:
$ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
3- run the command:
$ sudo apt-get install kde-standard
4- run the command:
$ sudo apt-get install kde-full
5- run the command:
$ sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop
6- run the command:
$ sudo apt-get install kde-plasma-desktop
7- etc ...
This question is very related to this one, but the answer there is not clear enough to me. There seems to be quite a number of quasi-identical commands one could use to install the KDE desktop.
I just want the desktop, no KDE apps since I'll just use the ones I'm already using in Unity. Of course I also want the needed repositories added so the KDE desktop will be kept updated.
How would I go about doing that?
