Ok, so this doesn't seem to be that simple really. First of all, mostly for my own referencing in the future let me describe what I did exactly.
To upgrade kde-workspace: 1) Downloaded all of the .deb files from the link above with the following command: wget -r -A.deb --no-directories https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kde-workspace/4:4.9.0-0ubuntu4/+build/3762859 2) Ran the following script to install only the packages that are already installed on my system: pl= ; for a in *.deb ; do p=$(dpkg-deb --info $a | sed -n 's/Package: \(\S*\)/\1/p') ; i=$(dpkg -s $p 2>/dev/null |grep Status) ; pl="$pl $a" ; done ; sudo dpkg -i $pl This resulted in some errors. The full output is here (http://paste.ubuntu.com/1285546/) but in short the errors were some missing dependencies that I could get around by installing the packages needed (a bit weird though why the dependency changed but that's a different conversation). But after installing the needed packages, I'm getting a version conflict for kde-workspace-data. It turns out that there is no 4.9.0 package for that for some reason and kde-workspace-bin cannot be installed because of that. Can anyone tell me where I could get my hands on kde-workspace- data_4.9.0-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1061073 Title: Desktop effects are slow and desktop corruption using mesa 9 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mesa/+bug/1061073/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
