KDE SC 4.5 RC 1 was released on June 27, 2010. This is the first Release Candidate for KDE SC 4.5 which is due later in August. The Kubuntu developers have been fast in packaging KDE SC 4.5 RC 1 for Kubuntu Lucid and have uploaded it to the Kubuntu Beta PPA in Launchpad. Here’s how you can upgrade to KDE 4.5 RC 1 on Lucid.
Open Konsole and type the below commands in sequence.
- sudo apt-add-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/beta
- sudo aptitude update
- sudo aptitude safe-upgrade
P.S – Updated this post for KDE 4.5 SC RC 1 release

Hi Manas, I just this and I wanted to know how your experiences are with KDE 4.5 Beta 1. Is it very crashy? Are there things not working anymore?

Hi Mark. Yes KDE 4.5 Beta 1 crashes quite a few times here. But that is expected since it is a Beta.
KDE 4.5 Beta 2 has already been tagged and will be released soon. We can expect that to be more stable.
I will update the post when KDE 4.5 Beta 2 hits the Kubuntu PPA’s.
