Summary notes, from this article: http://news.softpedia.com/news/How-To-Install-KDE-4-1-On-Ubuntu-8-04-91034.shtml

1) Add this to your apt sources:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-members-kde4/ubuntu hardy main

Refresh your sources.

2) Click here: apt://kubuntu-kde4-desktop
or, $ sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop

Logout, and login with a KDE session. That’s it.

If you want to change your bootsplash, open your startup-manager: apt://startupmanager

Click Appearance -> Usplash themes -> pick which theme you want to use.

That’s it, dude.

Thanks to Fr3ddie on launchpad for these tips on getting Hardy to work with Pulseaudio on an Intel 82801H (ICH8 Family) sound card:

1. In “System–>Administration–>Services” enable the “… (alsa-utils)”
2. In the file: /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base add the following line (at the end):
options snd-hda-intel model=lenovo
3. In “System–>Preferences–>Sound” set PulseAudio wherever possible
4. Regulate the ALSA mixer levels properly (important if you want to preserve your hears at reboot….) and set the “front-mic” as the default microphone (that should be the integrated one, the other should be the front mic jack, but I don’t know if it works… if you’ll know please share ;))
