Installing 14.10 beta release, and adding Plasma 5 PPA

[Valorie Zimmerman]

Hi folks, Installing 14.10 beta was easy, although my son did the
install on my big test laptop because he set up the SSD/HD system in
the first place. However, upon doing the first update && dist-upgrade,
then restarting, I notice that there were a few dead icons, and
unresponsive application windows.

But I figured I'd probably kill it with Plasma 5 anyway, so what the
heck. Added the PPA: `sudo apt-add-repository
ppa:kubuntu-ppa/next-staging` then `sudo apt-get update && sudo
apt-get dist-upgrade`, and restarted. However, even though there were
no error messages in yakuake, there was no Plasma 5 desktop to log
into. Instead, there was a Plasma 4 desktop in even worse shape: no
networking.

Hopefully I can purge the PPA in a console, but I doubt that will
bring back network-manager. The reason I think it's gone is that there
is no applet in the systray.
