If you like KDE and are using Kubuntu Lucid, you are missing out on the new wallpapers which have been chosen for Ubuntu Lucid after a photography contest. Unlike Ubuntu, these wallpapers are not installed on Kubuntu automatically. :( The wallpapers are great though. :D

If you want to install them on Kubuntu, fire up Konsole and type the below command:

aptitude install ubuntu-wallpapers

Or if you prefer KPackageKit, then search for ubuntu-wallpapers package and install it.

You can then find the new wallpapers in /usr/share/backgrounds.

Not using Lucid or Linux but want the new wallpapers? You can download all the new Ubuntu Lucid wallpapers in compressed format from here.

Here is a teaser screenshot of my desktop with one of the new wallpapers. :)
