[Ubuntu] Hello (plus kubuntu Jaunty issues with Qgis)

[Alan Boudreault]

Hi Ricardo,

I've just tried to install and run QGis 1.2.0  from ubuntugis-unstable 
repository, and it seems to run well. I'm also using KDE 4.3.  By the way, 
I installed KDE 4.3 from this repository: deb 
http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-ppa/backports/ubuntu (which is not jaunty-
backports). I don't think KDE4.3 is available from jaunty-backports. QGis 
1.2.0 has recently been uploaded in ubuntugis-unstable reposository. Is it the 
version you are using?
