Hello,

I’m trying to install Percona 5.5 on a KUbuntu Desktop machine? I’ve tried installing it like installing it on a server, adding the repo to /etc/apt/sources.list but when doing: apt-get install percona-server-server-5.5 (or something like that), it tries to uninstall plasma-desktop (I’m using KDE as WM, since I like it), not to say many other packages.

Any ideas?

Regards.

Install GnuPG , the GNU Privacy Guard: $ sudo apt install gnupg2 curl.  
Install the downloaded package with dpkg.  
Once you install this package the Percona repositories should be added.  
Enable the repository:  
After that you can install the server package:
