Odd thing - even once I added the ppa, kubuntu-plasma5-desktop was reported as non-existant. However, once I did update & dist-upgrade, it did sort of install. But then apt when into a spin, telling me some stuff needed to be removed, and more updates needed installing, but it couldn't seem to upgrade them or remove the old files; just kept repeating itself. So I shut down (which didn't work in plasma; did `sudo shutdown now` in console and still had to use the power button....) and started up again, and was never logged into KDE after I put in my password. In the console, when I tried to login, I got: [ 171.171303] systemd-logind[976]: Failed to start unit user@1000-service: Unknown unit: user@1000 [ 171.171303] systemd-logind[976]: Failed to start user service: Unknown unit: [email protected] Interesting? The atom netbook is running 14.10 with no problem, but I hesitate to try Plasma 5 on it now.
