The title says it all: Could someone please fix the broken link to the compilation instructions in the announcement...
Way to go! Thanks for a marvelous desktop.

announcement: point unclear
by emmanuel on Thursday 11/Jul/2002, @10:45
|
in the announcement, i believe it should be stated clearly that translucent menus are for all applications, not only for kate! (and they were already in kde3.0)

KDE-PIM
by Thorsten Schnebeck on Thursday 11/Jul/2002, @10:59
|
No screenshots and much "work in progress", but so far KDE-PIM package also has made great improvements compared to 3.0.x. Kudos!

Konqi rocks
by Jaana on Thursday 11/Jul/2002, @11:08
|
I took snapshot from cvs HEAD about week ago and I'll have to say that konqi is in very good shape. It's much more stable than 3.0.2 and startup speed is very good. Overall functionality feels more stable than alpha quality. 3.1 Will Rock Your gSocks Off ;)

Screenshots

Screenshots......*drool*
Congrats again KDE - especially everaldo on his wonderful icon
theme.
KDE is really starting to distance itself from most other desktop
environments without creating a totally alien environment.
Can't wait to get home and install.

gcc 3.1
by Anonymous on Thursday 11/Jul/2002, @11:56

Hi!
Looks great!!!
I would really like to know if what we've been hearing about gcc c++ linker being not so good has been solved as we were told with gcc 3.1.
Does it finally make KDE fast loading apps? :-)
I am really looking forward to have a good distro with KDE 3 compiled with gcc 3.1. This must fly!!!
Huuuha!!!

Alpha ???
by Daniel Dantas on Thursday 11/Jul/2002, @16:40

Great job guys!!!
This release seems to be more stable than 3.0.2. How could it happen??
The only issue is that this release don't have the drop shadow menus.

Closing tabs
by Matt Casey on Thursday 11/Jul/2002, @20:15
|
Are there plans to allow for closing a tab in konqueror without having to right-click the tab, or use a menu option? I've used tabbed environments in mozilla and visual studio .net, which handle this issue differently. Mozilla provides an X on each tab, while vs.net provides an X to the far right of the tabs which closes the active tab. IMO, both of these implementations are more efficient to use.
I can't wait to get my hands on this one :)

System Req.s
by Walther on Friday 12/Jul/2002, @00:49
|
What i would like to see are the minimum system req's for KDE 3.1alpha1. I have alot of friends willing to do this "linux/kde" thingie with decent hardware although not the latest and greatest there is.. (bit hard when you a student..).
Further more i would like to congratulate the developers on another great release. Keep up the pace and good work guys..
On a sidenote, i hear / read alot of article about how UI design is bad on KDE or how developers are only interested in personal quirks and dont care for users in general. I myself take these comments with a large grain of salt but it does raise some problems. Perhaps some PR could turn the tide around for the good.
Kudo's on another good job...
Walther

Faster login?
by Cihl on Friday 12/Jul/2002, @04:38
|
Is the login process faster in this release?
On my default SuSE 8.0 install it takes up to 30 seconds on a 433MHz Celeron box.

Newbie question
by Sven on Friday 12/Jul/2002, @07:43

I know Suse 8.0 rpm's exist for KDE 3.1 alpha but I was wondering
if there were any specific instructions available to guide someone
in the proper install order?
Thanks,
Todd

Problems with KDE 3.x
by Frank Rizzo on Friday 12/Jul/2002, @09:42
|
Here are the problems that I (as a relative linux newbie <1yr) ran into with KDE 3.x
1. Installation, Installation, Installation - you download a million RPMs, get someone in the newsgroup to give you the exact -Uvh or whatever command and install. Then X goes nuts - the system still tries to start kde2 - the system is useless. Back to Windows and to newsgroups, thankfully someone points out how to change the start-up sequence. Now kde 3.x starts fine. Still pain in the ass. On the other hand, I went to Ximian.com, downloaded their little utility and it updated gnome without my intervention - beautiful.
2. Fonts - yeah, I know, every distro has its own "import your true type fonts" utility, but they all suck compared to KDE utilities. It would be wonderful, if the Fonts node in the KControl center would include an option to install your fonts either from a folder or a windows partition or a just a single font.
3. Resolution - This is probably not a KDE function, but again, it would be great if it were an option in the Control Center. Dropping to a console to do this is silly, given that it changes the resolution of the desktop, not the console. Is there a technical reason that this can't be done, because I can't believe I am the first person to be annoyed by this.
4. Themes - I heard that someone has already committed the code, but, yes, an applet that combines icons, windows decoration, etc... is sorely needed.
5. Default KDE look is ugly. All the screenshots are great. Why not make the default look that way.
Other than that, very nice.

Slick Stuff

Hmmm
by Carbon on Friday 12/Jul/2002, @12:28
|
Can someone explain how this Desktop Sharing thing that I see in the screenies works, exactly? Easiest way would be to use X's remote viewing capabilities, but that would introduce permissions issues, and it wouldn't really allow one person to watch another using the app... Perhaps VNC is used instead?

khtml and vnunet.com?
by John on Sunday 14/Jul/2002, @03:22
|
I'm running KDE 3.0.1 (haven't had time to upgrade to 3.0.2 yet).
Can someone running 3.1alpha try out www.vnunet.com and tell me if it displays without some text areas overwriting themselves and making an unreadable mess. The Javascript menus driving the "News areas" down the left hand side bar are a good example of this. In fact, if you compare how this site looks between khtml and mozilla, you can see a lot of differences. khtml renders it wrong in a number of places.

Howto install SuSE8 - KDE3.1alpha1 binaries ???
by KDE3.0.2 User! on Sunday 14/Jul/2002, @07:20
|
Hi folks,
i lately updated to KDE 3.0.2, and, i am really happy with that great stuff!
KDE 3.0.2 rocks da house !!!
but, of course, i also wanna try the new "KDE 3.1 alpha1" ;)
when i tried to install the rpm's into a new directory with the option "--prefix /opt/kde3.1alpha1"..
i got the ERROR: "package is not relocateable"..
i downloaded the packages from "ftp.kde.org".
Does anybody know how to manage that easily ?
(i already tried this: "http://developer.kde.org/build/build2ver.html" )
thanks very much.. :)
..a kde lover

Quick Browser and window shades
by bc on Monday 15/Jul/2002, @11:00
|
Could someone try the QuickBrowser on the 3.1alpha and tell me if you can open a Konqueror window by clicking on a QuickBrowser folder? I will frequently work in a common folder and the QuickBrowser can be a good way to get there but I'd have to traverse that tree ever time for each file I'm working with. Operating like OS/2's SmartCenters Drive Folders would be a great feature. I could create bookmakes in Konqueror (and do) but this feature in QuickBrowser would be better. IMHO.
The other thing I found "interesting" is the window Shade operation. I just don't want it to unfold and foldup when I move my mouse off/on the window. How about the old way of just double-clicking the title bar or unfolding when selected from the taskbar?
KDE is looking awesome these days and with word of Konquerors speed increases, it might be my new "home" for a while. Great work people.

A feature I would really, really like to see
by kavau on Thursday 18/Jul/2002, @08:14
|
in Konqueror is the following:
* drag an URL from the Location Toolbar to the Bookmark Toolbar: it should be added as a new bookmark
* right-click on an item in the Bookmark Toolbar: instead of a Toolbar Menu, I would like to see options to rename/remove the bookmark, or to change its icon.
* I would like to be able to add a menu to Kicker which contains all items in the Bookmark toolbar. The reasoning is simple: My Bookmark Toolbar contains all my most visited websites. I also want to be able to access them quickly (meaning no more than two mouse clicks) if no Konqueror window is open!
Just some suggestions... I think KDE is a great piece of work and I couldn't live without it!
Kavau

Has anyone got a sucess story with compiling kde on Redhat 7.3
I have tried compiling it with redhats gcc 2.96 and with gcc 3.1 (built from source). Compiling it with gcc2.96 does not work as it fails to build, building it
with 3.1 works but kde crashes at startup with dcop related errors ( stuff about it thinking that another dcop is running ). Anyhows my question is has anyone been in this situation and found their way outa it yet ? I've been using gnome for the last week but I want the new kde wm so bad !
Thanks in advance
Bryan
