Update Documentation:Repository:Meta-Packages.php

updated for 14.04 1. updated repo enabling and install 2. xfce no longer supported or at least command line didn't work. Removed It. 3. on step 4 fixed typo ( I believe) changed if to is 4. removed kxstudio-meta-nonfree from meta-packages 5. changed kernel to linux-lowlatency none of the other seem to be working. 5. step 6 clarified for 14.04 after kxstudio welcome screen logs into unity must logout of unity and log into kde plasma to get kxstudio default DE and theme. 12.04 went through same instructions with 12.04 not sure if you will be supporting 12.04 or not. Some issues with a few things. So instruction's won't work. If you want I can make a bug report on launchpad. Not sure if issues are minor or not.

    This section describes all the meta-packages available in the KXStudio-Team Ubuntu repositories, splitted by type.
    This section describes how to upgrade from a regular Ubuntu 14.04 install (or variants), to a cool and fresh KXStudio Desktop.<br />
    <span style="color:#fa3a3a;">This method has been tested to work in Ubuntu 14.04 based systems</span>.
 </p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="MainMetaPackages">Main Meta-Packages</span></h5>
 <p><br/></p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="Step1">Step 1 - Enable the repositories</span></h5>
 <p>
    The main meta-packages will simply install Audio, Graphic or Video applications.<br />
    The Audio meta-package is also split into plugin categories, for anyone that wants more plugins, but not actually more applications.<br />
    It's not like your KXStudio system will get slower with a bit more applications though...
    Open up the 'Terminal' (found in the applications), and run these commands<br/>
    <code>
    	sudo apt-get install software-properties-common wget<br/>
    	sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kxstudio-debian/kxstudio
    </code>
 </p>
 <p>
    The main meta-packages are:
    KXStudio officially supports KDE4. You can still install KXStudio if using any other Desktop Environment,<br/>but there's no meta-packages for them, and we'll not document the install process here.<br/>
 Create a new topic in the forums if you want support for other DEs.
 </p>

 <p>
    Next, reload the sources (method depends on the current application), and install the package 'kxstudio-repos'. Then reload the sources again.<br />
    You can do the same thing in the command-line with:<br />
    <code>
        sudo apt-get update<br/>
        sudo apt-get install kxstudio-repos<br/>
        sudo apt-get update
    </code>
 </p>

 <p><br/></p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="Step2">Step 2 - Update the system</span></h5>
 <p>
    Once you've got the repositories set-up, it's time to upgrade the system (ie, update the software, not upgrade to a newer Ubuntu release!).
 </p>
 <p>
    Simply use whatever tool your Desktop Environment provides (Ubuntu Software Center, Synaptic, Update Manager, KPackageKit, Muon, etc).<br />
    If you want to use the command-line, or if you just got too many dependency conflicts (can happen if you enabled many PPAs before upgrading to KXStudio), the command is:<br />
    <code>
        sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
    </code><br/>
    Even though it says 'dist-upgrade', it will not update the Ubuntu version. In this case, 'dist' means something like "resolve conflicts, even if some stuff gets removed".<br />
 </p>
 <p>
    This step will take some time. Some minor questions may appear while the upgrade takes place.
 </p>

 <p><br/></p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="Step3">Step 3 - Install the KXStudio Desktop</span></h5>
 <p>
    After the upgrade, it's time to install the main KXStudio packages.<br />
    Just like you did to install the 'kxstudio-repos' package, now install:
 </p>
 <ul>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-audio</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-ladspa</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-dssi</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-lv2</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-vamp</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-vst</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-graphics</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-video</li>
 </ul>
 <p>
    Some notes:<br/>
    'audio' recommends 'audio-plugins', and 'audio-plugins' depends on all it's sub-packages.<br />
    With the exception of KXStudio 12.04, 'graphics' recommends 'ubuntustudio-font-meta', which will install a nice collection of fonts.<br />
    On KXStudio 12.04, you have to install 'ubuntustudio-font-meta' manually if you want that font collection.
    <code>
    For KDE4 -&gt; 'kxstudio-desktop-kde4'<br />
    </code><br/>
    For other systems install 'kxstudio-desktop-base' and the ubuntu related package, like 'lubuntu-desktop' for LXDE<br />
 </p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="ExtraMetaPackages">Extra Meta-Packages</span></h5>
 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="Step4">Step 4 - Install the Multimedia Software</span></h5>
 <p>
    The extra meta-packages are:
    This step is almost optional. Here we install the basic software for Audio, Graphics and Video.<br />
    Just like before, it's time to install some new meta-packages. They are available as listed here (following a tree view of dependencies):
 </p>
 <ul>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-codecs <i>(12.04 only)</i></li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-all</li>
    <ul>
        <li>kxstudio-meta-audio</li>
        <ul>
            <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins</li>
            <ul>
                <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-dssi</li>
                <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-ladspa</li>
                <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-lv2</li>
                <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-vamp</li>
                <li>kxstudio-meta-audio-plugins-vst</li>
            </ul>
        </ul>
        <li>kxstudio-meta-graphics</li>
        <li>kxstudio-meta-video</li>
    </ul>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-codecs</li>
    <li>kxstudio-meta-restricted-extras</li>
 </ul>
 <p>
    The 'codecs' package is self-explanatory, it will install a collection of codecs for gstreamer, sox and xine.<br />
    Install the meta-packages you want just like before (ie, search for the package and click to install, or use in command-line: <code>sudo apt-get install &lt;package-name&gt;</code>)<br />
    See <a href="<?php echo $ROOT; ?>/Documentation:Ubuntu:Meta-Packages">Documentation:Ubuntu:Meta-Packages</a> for a description of these meta-packages.<br />
 </p>
 <p>
    Note - meta-all recommends restricted extras, and audio recommends audio-plugins.
 </p>

 <p><br/></p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="Step5">Step 5 - Install a Kernel (Optional)</span></h5>
 <p>
    This step is optional, and mostly useful for audio production only.<br />
    Installing a kernel in KXStudio couldn't be easier - just install this package.
 </p>
    <code>
        sudo apt-get install linux-lowlatency
    </code>

 <p><br/></p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="Step6">Step 6 - Reboot and update settings</span></h5>
 <p>
    After all this, it's time to reboot.<br />
    The next time you login, you'll see the KXStudio Welcome Screen to help you update your settings (and maybe the theme too).<br />
    You should also run 'cadence' and change your JACK settings to your preference.<br />
    Finally, if you installed 'kxstudio-desktop-kde4' logout and just re-login to kde plasma after updating the settings.
 </p>

 <p><br/></p>

 <h5><span class="mw-headline" id="Step7">Step 7 - Enjoy!</span></h5>
 <p>
    The 'restricted-extras' is simply a combination of '[k|x]ubuntu-restricted-extras', and some other minor "restricted" stuff.<br />
    (In this case, "restricted" means that it can't be installed in Ubuntu by default, but you're safe to do it afterwards).<br />
    This package recommends 'kxstudio-meta-codecs'.
    Of course, now it's time to enjoy!
