Installing KDE on Ubuntu Sabily

KDE can be install on Ubuntu or just install Kubuntu. What about KDE in Sabily? I don't think so there someone had try KDE on Sabily. So I try it by following same command for installing KDE on Ubuntu. Let install it on your Sabily by following this step of command then see how it look like when you run Sabily by select KDE session. If you are Ubuntu user and not yet try it, you also can follow this step from your terminal.

Start installing KDE from you terminal using this command, sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop .

After finished installation, close your terminal then restart your system. After reboot, you will get KDE login screen. Login to KDE session and get your experience on it. I will share my Sabily with KDE session on the next post.

Kubuntu Running on Virtualbox

What about KDE on Ubuntu? Ok, it call Kubuntu. So I try it on my system by using Virtualbox. Same as PCLinuxOS it run using KDE which require more powerful hardware. I think due to it powerful engine to make more better desktop environment. Anyway, if you had powerful system, then you can try Kubuntu and see the different of KDE environment compare with Gnome. For Sabily, I will ask their programmer either we can use KDE or not. Then suggest them to add it in the future version of Sabily.

So, let see Kubuntu run on live cd image inside Sabily by using Virtualbox latest version 3.1.8.

Starting Kubuntu virtual machine from live CD image.

Shutdown Kubuntu Live session.

By running this session I think it is possible to run KDE for Ubuntu or Sabily on my system. Next I will install KDE on my Sabily and get experience how it look like.

PCLinuxOS 2010 run on Virtualbox

One of the most top distro that I know either than Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian etc is PCLinuxOS and yesterday I already finished download it new version PCLinuxOS 2010. The most interested is it had KDE session that don't have on Sabily. As I know another distro that use KDE is Mandriva. So I try to run it on Virtualbox to see the different of it compare with Gnome Ubuntu or Sabily.

After start I found the different of it appearance which is more attract colour and have more start menu. I share some of the screenshot that I take when run it on Virtualbox. Hopefully in the future Sabily also will support KDE session like Ubuntu.

Sabily 9.10 Gaza Detected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS already released officially. If you are in Sabily your Update Manager will detected it and request you to upgrade. In this situation you should not click update cause it will change your desktop to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and override or erase your Sabily setting. Unless you decide to change your Sabily to Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. If you are Sabily user, just wait until Sabily 10.04 Manarat official release and we hope there are supported for upgrade version.

Sabily In LXDE Session - Introduction

Virtualbox - New Version Update

One thing that I like about Sabily or Ubuntu is new version of software detect. If we run any software while we are online, it will detect for a new version of the software and request us to update it. If we don't want to update, just ignore it. For example that I want to show here is Virtualbox software. After I run it, information about a new version appeared and suggest me a link to download it. When I click on the suggestion link it direct me to a download location at Sun Microsystems server. Then I accept to download update version of Virtualbox and install it after that. Below picture is some of the screenshot that I take while update my Sun Virtualbox software.

New version of Virtualbox detected after I run it.


After click on the link, it direct me to the download location.
