Stable

The latest stable release of Konversation is available in Kubuntu's regular package archive, just sudo apt-get install konversation or use the KPackageKit package manager to install it.

Development

Konversation 1.2 alpha 4 is available for Kubuntu 9.04 in the official Ubuntu Backports repository. To enable these:

  • Open KPackageKit from the KMenu
  • Go to the Settings pane, and click "Edit Software Sources"
  • In the Updates tab of the dialog that follows, check the "Unsupported updates" checkbox
  • Close the dialog and KPackageKit should reload the software sources
  • Upgrade as normal.


Konversation 1.2 alpha releases are semi-officially available from the Kubuntu Experimental Software PPA (Personal Package Archive) for Kubuntu 9.04, and at times may be a bit more up-to-date than the official backports. (Konversation 1.2 is in the main archive in the development version of Kubuntu 9.10) Note that this will also bring in beta versions of KDE, so unless you really want beta KDE and the latest and greatest Konversation or really know what you are doing, it may be best to just use the packages from the Ubuntu Backports repos.

  • Open a terminal window (e.g. Konsole).
  • Add kubuntu-experimental's GPG key (copy and paste the following): 
sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 2836CB0A8AC93F7A

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/experimental/ubuntu jaunty main
