  KDE 3.0.1 Ships
KDE Official News Posted by Dre on Wednesday 22/May/2002, @23:02
from the it-keeps-gettin'-better dept.
Following the remarkably successful launch of the KDE 3 series with a very stable KDE 3.0 last month, the KDE Project today announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.0.1. While primarily a translation release, it also squashes some bugs, including some minor security issues with KHTML. Check out the announcement and the fairly complete ChangeLog. Binary packages are available from the stalwart KDE packagers at Compaq Tru64, Conectiva Linux, Mandrake Linux and SuSE Linux. As always, we hope you enjoy the latest and greatest KDE!

and no RedHat packages ?
by loopkin on Thursday 23/May/2002, @02:02
as usual it seems.

i'm lost in RedHat's handling of KDE. no 3.0.1 packages (maybe they'll be there in a few days), and, moreover, KDE 3 was shipped heavily patched in RH 7.3... kdelibs is numbered kdelibs-3.0.0-10. what does it fix precisely ? what is not fixed and fixed in 3.0.1 ? is it just redhat-specific patches ? nobody knows.
maybe a long digging of the sources should reveal that to the world ;-))

Kommunity
by kde friend on Thursday 23/May/2002, @03:58
And who is responsible for reqular update of
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.0-release-plan.html
and
http://developer.kde.org/development-versions/kde-3.0-features.html

Why they don't change it's status and why you dont keep community informed about the progress.

Pls don't make the mistake of loosing the community by not informing what's going on and what is current progress.

Also something about the dot, the news-per-day are too small, for dot readers i just want to remember that when freekde.org was live there were 2-3 times more news per day and that was fine.


Don't forget that in opensource the most important thing is the community (not only contributors, developers, designers, translators but end-users, administrators, promoters, middle and small business too), and the community dies without fresh news, forums, lists, updates, releases, etc (any suggestions???).

Anyway kde community is very strong and hard, i personally visit kde.org and the dot every earth day and promote it! But if we want to bring more users and contributors to community we should more active. (Example: look at the other camp and see that they have news almost every day no matter that the news are bull-shits and that their progress is zero compared to the progres of kde (if some one cannot guess the other camp it's http://www.gnome.org )


P.S.
Kongrats kde team, waiting for 3.1

Mandrake 8.2
by PARENA on Thursday 23/May/2002, @04:39
Using MDK8.2 here and tried the rpm's, but even after a clean install KDE is messed up... it installs in different places, it saves some settings in you ~/.kde and some in ~/.kde3, my 'root'-user's panel was completely empty except for a taskbar, the K-menu and kalarm or something. It just copied the skeleton all wrong...

:(

How about the speed
by Daniël Mantione on Thursday 23/May/2002, @07:21
Yes, this isn't the first time you guys have heard it, but my K6-350, 128 megs of ram still needs over a minute to go from kdm to the desktop. Gentlemen, that's too slow! Nice job, KDE 3, but go get every speed improvement you can do.

KDE 3.1 won't install on Mandrake 8.1
by Cockney on Thursday 23/May/2002, @18:25
I am not a Guru nor am I an idiot. I downloaded the RPMS from Mandrake. Many failed dependancies. The main failed dependancy lib-qt-mt rpm almost cannot be found anywhere. After finding it in contribs, installing it, I find that everything is all toasted. The KDM is broken and 2 of everything seems to start up and crash. I get the Linux Guru sitting next to me to tear apart my entire install and he is baffled. He says it is a waste of time.

I am not being funny here but I started out with 50 people using Mandrake and KDE here in my office now I have a remainder of 4 including me. All of our servers still run Mandrake and it is incredibly reliable. Kde 3.1 looks so sweet but it is a shame that in the past two years that I have been fighting to keep my users on the KDE desktop, nothing has improved where the installation, maintenance, and compatabilities are concerned. It just won't cut it unless you have alot of time to play around with your broken computer. My users don't. They have to work. I personally don't have time to killall -9 mozilla-bin every 10 minutes for each user. Nor do I have time to figure out how to get open office in the start menu. It is a real shame. From what I saw, KDE 3.0 is the best yet. Just one problem. We can't use it because it won't install.

build problems :(
by Jeroen Jacobs on Friday 24/May/2002, @05:32
Hi,

I'm having trouble compiling KDE 3.0.1.
When I compile kdelibs, it complains that it can't find mcopidl (or something like that).
As far as I know, mcopidl is part of KDE.

So, do I need KDE in order to compile KDE ? Looks strange to me....
(kdelibs is the first package I have to compile, right ?)

Please help,

Jeroen

Bug #41260: kicker and xinerama
by Timo Kosig on Friday 24/May/2002, @08:46
Anyone knows something about the state of bug #41260?

Will this issue be fixed in kde 3.0.2, or is it not yet know what causes this bug.
Still one kde-loving user out here who can't use kicker and xinerama together. :(

Anyone willing to help or have a suggestion mail me, will send all needed additional information to help to fix this bug.

Bye,
Timo.

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned these yet, specifically their lack of availability. However if anyone does want them, some can be found at http://www.hmallett.co.uk -> Computing -> Diffs

Poor quality of SuSE 7.2 packages
by yves on Monday 27/May/2002, @12:50
I've downloaded i386 packages from suse, and the following things are
not ok:

- their QT is apparently not compiled with xft (using my cvs qt-copy xft is ok)

- They somehow have a put a KDE2.2.2 splashscreen with KDE3.0.1

and that from suse...

SuSE7.3 packages broken ?
by evdsande on Friday 31/May/2002, @02:02
After upgrading my SuSE 7.3 box with the 3.0.1 packages from there site, I was left with a broken system. My box wouldn't start kdm anymore giving my messages that configuration files were having wrong settings and libraries failed dependencies. I'm able to startup X using the startx command but my box does't get into runlevel 5 properly anymore. Anyone else who's having the same experience or knows the answer.

Best Regards,

Eric
