Quote:
"multiverse" component

The "multiverse" component contains software that is "not free", which means the licensing requirements of this software do not meet the Ubuntu "main" Component Licence Policy.

The onus is on you to verify your rights to use this software and comply with the licensing terms of the copyright holder.

This software is not supported and usually cannot be fixed or updated. Use it at your own risk.


I'm not sure what that means with respect to KDE (perhaps there are some non-free libraries linked in?) but if I were you I'd stick with the KDE that's provided in the Main respository.

Btw... it's not that I'm a big KDE fan, I just hate it less than Gnome. I do think KDE is more functional though. Personally, I use XFCE4 as my desktop, but I have KDE because I like some of the apps.
