          You need to install the kubuntu-desktop package for the full install.



          The GUI method would be to click this button:



          Install via the software center



          The command line method would be:



          sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop


          Then the next time you login you can choose what to use from the login screen (under Session).

          If you want to log in from KDE run sudo apt-get install kdm, sudu apt-get remove gdm, and dpkg reconfigure kdm.

            To get just the plasma environment (on 12.04 and newer):



            sudo apt-get install plasma-desktop


            It worked fine for me on 15.10

              +1 and this is valid for 12.04 and newer releases. Also, there is kde-plasma-desktop for users who want desktop environment with minimal set of applications.

            Just try the following command in a terminal



            sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop


            Then just select KDE on the login manager.

              On 30/09/2015:



              To install KDE on Ubuntu (12.04,14.04,14.10,15.04,15.10) (plasma 5.3)



              sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
              sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
              sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop


              To install KDE on Ubuntu (15.04,15.10) (plasma 5.4)



              sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ci/stable
              sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
              sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop


              Note: To install plasma 5.4,you need to remove backports ppa.

              Just open synaptic (If not installed yet, install it by ubuntu software center) and search for desktop environment and install plasma-desktop

                I think the most complete answer is here. According to what you want to install (only the GUI or GUI+some packages).



                Citing the content of the answer:




                plasma-netbook and plasma-desktop differ only by whether they
                install the netbook or the desktop interface. kde-workspace is
                identical to plasma-desktop.



                kde-plasma-desktop will install a few KDE programs: Dolphin,
                Konqueror, kde-baseapps, konsole, kwrite, and kde-passwd.



                kde-standard installs a bunch of stuff on top of kde-desktop:
                Akregator, Ark, Dragonplayer, gnupg, Kaddressbook, Kate, KDE
                wallpapers, Kmail, etc.



                kubuntu-desktop installs even more than kde-standard. kubuntu-desktop
                is the package you would download from the Ubuntu website if you
                wanted Kubuntu, but if you only want the Plasma interface, not any of
                the default programs, plasma-desktop might be sufficient.




                Choose the package you want and then run sudo apt-get install package-name

                                          I think the most complete answer is here. According to what you want to install (only the GUI or GUI+some packages).



                                          Citing the content of the answer:




                                          plasma-netbook and plasma-desktop differ only by whether they
                                          install the netbook or the desktop interface. kde-workspace is
                                          identical to plasma-desktop.



                                          kde-plasma-desktop will install a few KDE programs: Dolphin,
                                          Konqueror, kde-baseapps, konsole, kwrite, and kde-passwd.



                                          kde-standard installs a bunch of stuff on top of kde-desktop:
                                          Akregator, Ark, Dragonplayer, gnupg, Kaddressbook, Kate, KDE
                                          wallpapers, Kmail, etc.



                                          kubuntu-desktop installs even more than kde-standard. kubuntu-desktop
                                          is the package you would download from the Ubuntu website if you
                                          wanted Kubuntu, but if you only want the Plasma interface, not any of
                                          the default programs, plasma-desktop might be sufficient.




                                          Choose the package you want and then run sudo apt-get install package-name
