Bugs
by JohnFlux on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @08:27

What about the large number of outstanding bugs? (5000+ reported in latest cvs digest)
Will it be released with most of them not fixed?
Not trolling tho - I realise it's near impossible to fix all the bugs, but are most of the major ones fixed?

Beta versions proved very stable for me...
by David Siska on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @08:29
|
I just wantet to tell anyone, who's worried about stability, to definitely give it a try. I've been using 3.2 since Mandrake Cooker released binary packages (and I've updated the ocassionaly) and it all works like a charm. The only issues are:
- kmail if I'w writing an email and change the dictionary (for spell check) then kmail crashes (but my email never got lost, eat your shorts MS Word auto save).
- Konqueror crashes on trying to open discussions on gnomedesktop.org (I'm sure that's just a coincidence :-))
Both of the bugs might have been fixed by now, I haven't tried RC1 yet.

Excellent News
by Elmy on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @08:30
|
I'm compiling right now under Gentoo to help the RC1 bug squashing effort, so this can be the best release ever. This is the first time I'm going to use 3.2, but from the previews I've seen it looks stunning! I hope that, as per usual, the devs don't feel pressured to get this out before its ready for prime time, but I certainly hope this will be the last Release Candidate.
Thanks again to everyone on the KDE team.

Copying data to kate
by why not you? on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @08:48

Is anybody else also having problems with copying text e.g. from XEmacs/khtml to kate/kdevelop? Or is it just my (strange) setup?

Nice =)
by Alex on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @09:35

This time KDE is strictly following its release schedule. Good news, I jsut hope that they aren't following it for the sake of it and actually following it because everything is looking like they want to. Knowing KDE and how it has delayed its products when serious problems arose I'm confident that they are following the schedule because the product is ready.
If all goes well, I should be able to have it by February 5. (I hope its announced on th because 3+2 equals 5 and so it's a very lucky date to release it on =)
Also one thing that has improved but still left me dissapointed was the lack of marketing that KDE had for their releases. The new features guide only scratched the surface of how KDE 3.1 has improved, and didn't provide enough real world examples. Remeber even annoying bugfixes should eb listed, and not just by pointing to te bug number, but by explainining what has changed in detail. Vague statements like usability has improved are worthless. There should eb clear mentions of actions menu, wallpaper properties redesign, clock configuration redesigned and with details on why and how its better. I haven't actually tried 3.2 other than the broken one wth Mandrake's cooker, but if they release beta1 with 3.1.95 I will write about some of the new features too.
MARKETING IS AS IMPORTANT AS CODE! Even minor but noticeble improvements should be mentioned to add to the size of the document and impress users. ALso usability improvements should all be prominently mentioend to change the perception that some have of KDE.

Great release! ;-)
Just a little thing: i can't set anymore the kind of shadow from ~/.config/kdesktoprc
...it doesn't work... and the default is "ugly" :p .
Anyway this is great!!! :-)

excellent release
by Navindra Umanee on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @10:12
|
I've been running HEAD since Saturday evening and so far it's fantastic. All the glitches I had from the previous version are gone. I see a lot of polish and I definitely see speed improvements. I doubt another RC is needed.
That default gray/gears background isn't very good IMHO. Not only is it drab, it's harsh. Also the default desktop font shadow isn't anywhere good as the Nautilus desktop shadow. I'm not sure if this can be tweaked or not. I also think we should probably default to the Bitstream Vera fonts everywhere. Oh yeah, and Konsole should default to Linux Colors. :-)
The Dot frontpage looks like it lost some whitespace in Konqueror. There's very little space at all between the "comment number" line and the title of the next item. There should be a <p>. Otherwise, Konqueror seems fantastic and all my other bugs are gone.
More serious gripe: Cut'n'paste glitches sometimes when selecting in Konsole and pasting in Konqueror it doesn't quite work... behavior seems random -- rare but it happens. Also KDE stole my Control-A (beginning-of-line) for no good reason at all since it doesn't work. Ctl-A selects the whole text and yet does not put it in the paste selection even after pressing Ctl-C (does not paste with Middle Button nor Ctl-V). That's it for bugs, but I think this one is the most serious and annoying.
Otherwise, I'm a real happy camper and I want to see this release adopted widely ASAP. :-)

KDE 3.2 NEEDS A RC2
by Mario on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @11:11
|
Right now it seems that KDE 3.2 is just too buggy, I think it should have a RC2 and have a mid February release date, otherwise I will consider it a rushed product.
Check the statistics for yourself, sure bug counts aren't all tat important, but when this late in the release cycle there is such a huge spike in new and unconfirmed bugs, you know there is something wrong. Besides, the goal for 3.2 was to have a release with under 3,000 (2,500 was planned) bugs, now it seems the new goal is under 4,000.
Bug chart here http://tinylink.com/?OdDme9ObFk
Notice how last year for KDE 3.1 the number of unconfirme dbugs and new bugs went straight down as if freefalling, this is how it should look for 3.2, but instead it shows a large increase in bugs, not a decrease as is normal.
I want KDE 3.2 to rock and right now on my system it just isn't where is should be a this stage in the cycle. To make KDE rock it needs at least one more RC. From what I've done on software development I know that the RC should be released when you think everything is the way you want it to, because when you think everything is like you want it to be, you will notice in the RC, that it's not quite there yet mos tof the time. But sometimes, like for Linux kernels, the RC becomes final because it really is where it should be.
Thank you, please consider a RC2 for a good 2-3 weeks more.

Thanks to all the KDE team for this wonderful accomplishment ! Rudi (and then Dobra Voda) : my best desktop experience to date ! Since I compile from source on a "relatively slow" computer, I wait for the final release. For now, I keep enjoying beta2 ! Thanks again guys !

Thanks to those responsible for...
by long time kde user on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @11:46
|
thanks to those responsible for...
1) the new mapping of the Win key to the kde taskbar program menu in 3.2
2) the much-improved tab support in konqueror 3.2
3) the beginnings of svg support in kde 3.2
4) konsole, the crown jewel of kde (along with konqueror) for my usage
5) the continued enhancement of khtml in 3.2
thanks will go to whoever...
1) makes file association mappings view-profile specific or local vs. network specific
2) creates a read-only version of the ktexteditor service that is better suited for browsing of text files
3) continues to improve khtml and ksvg

Kudos
by René Gaß on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @13:12

I, too, want to take the opportunity to thank everyone who helped in making this the best KDE ever!
I've used Beta 2 on Gentoo recently - it's wonderful. I love the Plastik style. Kontakt is just great. KMail is notably faster on large mail folders. Control Center is much improved. So much more, and even more yet to discover...
Can't wait to compile RC 1 tonight. So, thanks again - you all rock!
René

KHTML Bugs
by SuperPET Troll on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @14:01
|
I haven't tried RC1 yet, but I am using beta-2. The khtml bugs that were preventing me from viewing some popular, very non-geek, sites were fixed with beta-2 and I'm assuming with RC1. I had posted a couple months ago, maybe more, about some khtml bugs. I'm so glad the bugs were fixed. Now I can ditch Firebird almost completely. THANKS! :) Konqueror can now browse almost everything -- only just some minor layout-spacing bugs but everything I try is now visible.

This should be great. Thanks for all of the hard work. I have a couple of feature requests for the future... just can't find a good spot for them.. but i would really like to see a couple of features that are currently found in ROX but seem to be well suited for KDE.
AppDirs (each application gets its own directory where all of it's files belong, libraries excluded)
Drag and Drop save... the opposite of drag and drop load... drag from an app to the file manager and voilia.
once again. thanks a ton.

Not ready yet - take the time to get it right
by John on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @20:39
|
1) KDevelop in RC1 compiling fails with bad function call (Mainwindow:251) (compiling under 3.2 b2) This kind of error is indicative of rushing to release.
2) PIM not completed but already has some major important changes in branch which could be merged in, maybe if given another month or two? PIM is supposed to be one of the killer apps in 3.2 - why ship a half completed one when you could have a great one in another month or two.
3) Pdf viewing and mime was badly mangled in b2 - not sure if fixed in RC1
4) no time for binaries? Allow the time so thorough beta testing is done.
Why not ship a few RC's for the next month or two until it's at a higher QA level and PIM changes merged in - no one likes delays but it's not like you are under stockholder pressure to ship.

Konstruct on FreeBSD
by Hiryu on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @20:51
|
I'd like to build KDE 3.2-rc1 on my FreeBSD box. However, when using Konstruct it goes to grab glib 2.2.3. The problem is that I already have glib 2.2.3 installed via ports. Does konstruct detect preinstalled dependencies and just doesn't see my glib for some reason? It seems to do the same thing with pkgconfig. Does konstruct just not check to see if I already have the software in question installed? I have the correct versions.
Thanks.

Support for GLMatrix screensaver?
by Rimmer on Monday 19/Jan/2004, @21:13
|
I was crushed to install KDE 3.1.4 and find out that it doesn't include the cool GLMatrix screensaver (even though many other xscreensaver savers work under KDE).
Digging through the Gentoo forums, I found a post stating that the kdeartwork package has a list of "useable" xscreensaver modules. Since GLMatrix isn't on this list, it isn't usable under KDE.
Anyone know if GLMatrix (and other missing modules) will be there when I emerge kde next month?
PS - I also wish the random screensaver mode could be configured to choose from a list of screensavers. Yes, I know screensavers aren't a big deal to most people but they are fun :)

SuSE 8.1 RPMs wrong glibc version
by Oliver Fels on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @00:36
|
I have no idea what changed in the build system between KDE 3.1.94 and 3.1.95 but since the KDE3.1.5 release a few days ago, all SuSE 8.1 RPMs require a glibc3.2.2 system while SuSE 8.1 is still based on 2.2.5
I wonder whose idea this has been- not so brilliant as the consequences are noticed *after* download while trying to install the first packages.

Can't compile kdegraphics ..?
by SiLiZiUMM on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @05:25
|
I can't compile RC1 using Konstruct-20040119, it hangs somewhere in kdegraphics :
checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.2) (library qt-mt) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.
Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support!
make[1]: *** [configure-work/kdegraphics-3.1.95/configure] Erreur 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pemessier/Programmes/konstruct-20040119/kde/kdegraphics'
make: *** [dep-../../kde/kdegraphics] Erreur 2
All I did is "cd meta/everything" and "make install". All other stuff, including QT, was downloaded and compiled automatically. Any ideas why it hangs just there in kdegraphics ? Beta1 compiled just fine though...

DONATIONS, DONATIONS, DONATONS, WHen will KDE get
by Alex on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @05:58
|
If you use KDE and like what the developers are doing for it, be sure to let them know by helping out or donating a sum of money.
Again, KDE IS NOT ASKING FOR DONATIONS as much as they should. Hence, they aren't getting as many as they deserve or even close to as many as GNOME.
GNOME for example prominently features on their website with a big banner "New Year's Resolution: Support the GNOME Foundation" and also taking a large chunk of the page is this message:
"The GNOME Foundation
With hundreds of thousands of new users taking advantage of GNOME at Brazilian Telecentros and at schools in Extremadura, now is a good time to make a donation to the GNOME Foundation. To help, become a Friend of GNOME or increase your current level of sponsorship. With your contribution, the GNOME foundation can bring GNOME to the developing world and defray expenses for independent developers and students coming to conferences like GUADEC and the GNOME Summit in 2004.
All contributions are tax-deductible in the U.S.
Special thanks to our generous friends, and remember that every donation is important."
When will KDE get it! Donations don't just drop down from the sky into your lap! You have to actively encourage users to donate and provide incentive. The GNOME Friends program is a great way to do this, they provide different levels with different benefits, mostly symbolic, but still important. KDE doesn't show the need for donations half as much as GNOME yet GNOME gets more donations. The KDE team would not even place something like GNOME has on the front page about donations because it is somehow in bad taste. WHY?
If you too think KDE isn't doing enough to encourage donations, vote here: http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63868

KDE 3.1.95 RPMs for SuSE 9.0 unusable?!?
by Alain Knaff on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @14:12
|
1. Kicker crashes when starting it with 3.1.4's config. Yes, I'd expect this to work, or how else would you do it when you administer a multi-user machine, and want to avoid breaking everybody's personal config?
2. K menu comes up almost empty (even when starting from scratch, with a new user)
3. Quicklauncher just shows five generic "folder" icons, which say "Malformed URL" when you click on them. There's now possibility to customize them into something useful (RightClick->AddApplication leads to a greyed-out No Entries label).
4. Kcontrol (the KDE Control panel, started manually) comes up empty as well.
On stdout, it says "No K menu group with X-KDE-BaseGroup=settings found ! Defaulting to Settings/"
5. No .xsession-errors log file created, to analyze what's going on.
-------
N.B. KDE 3.1.94 for Redhat (Fedora Core) works all right.

Drop shadows on desktop icon text???
by Robert Krawitz on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @16:35
|
Something new since 3.1.4 seems to be drop shadows on the text beneath icons on the desktop. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to turn it off. The only thing in the control center that looks close to this is Shadowed Text in the Liquid panel, but that doesn't seem to actually turn it off. Am I missing something?
It does seem to start up very quickly compared to 3.1.4.

File manager
by anonymous on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @17:46
|
I dont know if this is the right place to put this question, but will ever be a profession file manager in kde like Total ( old Windows ) commander? Smth like that would be greate for freaks. There are a few commanders like Krusader, but nothing is so advanced ad TCmd.
Midnight commander is good, but ... eh ... and konqueror is not very usefull when you have to manage a huge hdd.
Thanks.
Sorry for bothering you.

TKCAethera
by Alex on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @21:19

I was browsing around the theKompany's website and I came across a free little multiplatform gem called Aethera.
It is functional, clean and attractive. (http://www.thekompany.com/projects/aethera/screenshots.php3)
It also looks a lot like Kontact, and has just about all the functions I need. Is it based on Kontact code, is it using KDE parts and is it open source? Finally, how is Kontact BETTER, or WORSE than Aethera?
Thank you!

SVG support
by xrayspx on Tuesday 20/Jan/2004, @22:46
|
The new release is VERY sharp. I've been using it for a day on a SuSE 9 desktop, and it has performed very well so far. However I'm trying to get SVG support to happen, and can't figure out if there's a knob I need to twist or something.
I've gone so far as setting the plugin search path to include /opt/kde3/lib, etc, but that just causes the plugin search to fail. I'm trying to show off here :-) Any help?
Thanks for another great release!

MacOS bar
by Hiryu on Thursday 22/Jan/2004, @13:34
|
I know a lot of people don't like this setting, however, in 3.2-rc1, I can't find the setting for placing the menu bar at the top of the screen like in MacOS. In prior releases of KDE, you can find this setting under style and then selecting the misc tab. Where has this setting moved to? Aside from this annoyance, KDE-3.2-rc1 is _great_. I'm using it in FreeBSD 5.2-RELEASE and in SuSe 9.0.
I also have another bug, when I right click an icon, the colors become distorted. I have the same problem when I turn on menu transparency (regardless of the transparency effect I choose). I am using ATI's linux drivers for Xfree 4.3.0 for a radeon 9800. I don't have any of this trouble in FBSD and I'm currently using a generic vesa driver and I built rc1 for FreeBSD manually. Thanks.
Fortunately I don't like to use menu transparency, I decided to see if there any changes with it.

interesting KDE 3.2 RC1 compile error
by klug on Thursday 22/Jan/2004, @22:49
|
Hallo, I have successfully compiled 3.1.5 & 3.2beta2. However, on the same machine in trying to build 3.2RC1 via konstruct I got a interesting error(which results in a build halt including the rest of the packages not already compiled) during the compile of kdeartwork. "libtool: link: '/usr/lib/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive." Viewing that file it notes, "Please DO NOT delete this file! It is necessary for linking the library. This file was generated by the nvidia-installer: 1.0.5." Trying to build the package by itself results in the same error. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

where is kmail
by W. Dobbe on Friday 23/Jan/2004, @03:56
|
I installed the suse rpms, but kmail is missing. Then I compiled and installed the knetwork-3.1.95 source package myself, but still no kmail. In which package is this supposed to be?
Kmail from 3.1.4 won't start cause it can't find libkdenetwork.so.2(.0.0).
Thanks for any help in advance.

Yet again, JuK is missing
by Duncan on Friday 23/Jan/2004, @05:53
|
The only way I seem to be able to get JuK any more is to download the kdemultimedia CVS and compile from source - the .tar.gz and various rpm packages don't have it any more. Actaully, the only refs to JuK in the kde-redhat packages are:
warning: kdemultimedia-3.1.95-0.fdr.0.1.i386.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ff6382fa
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/juk
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/juk/common
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/juk/index.cache.bz2
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/juk/index.docbook
/usr/share/doc/HTML/en/juk/toolbar.png
Now, I don't mind compiling JuK, but I thought it was part of KDE now...

Umount problem
by Alexander Malashenko on Saturday 24/Jan/2004, @13:39
|
I am still have the problem I reported already here: http://dot.kde.org/1070894366/1071609698/. Nothing changes from previous beta release. It exists on 3 different computers with RedHat9, ASPLinux9 and Fedora Core 1. And I wonder why nobody else reports about this problem?

As an almost off-topic
by Evan "JabberWokky" E. on Tuesday 27/Jan/2004, @15:16
|
I had some friends over the other night with their two children, a lively daughter about 4 and a somber son about 5 or 6 years old. We were looking something up on my computer with the children watching and the daughter piped up with "the computer is pretty" (referring to the screen). The son then said "All the windows are much better looking than the ones at home". They use XP at home.
FWIW, KDE seems to appeal to the young demographic. :)
Also, I am helping one of them start a balloon arrangement business, and many of the documents are being produced in KWord.

Error in the README file
by Daniel Alomar i Claramonte on Thursday 29/Jan/2004, @06:19
|
Hi everybody,
I have Suse 9.0 and I used konstructor to download and install kde3.2-rc in my laptop. Once I compiled all the sources I was not able to start the kde because I followed the instructions from the README file and I export KDEDIRS=~/kde... when the correct variable is KDEDIR. Once I put the correct variable, all runs ok, and quickly!!!
Best regards,
Daniel

Qt designer is operative?
by Daniel Alomar i Claramonte on Friday 30/Jan/2004, @03:54
|
Hi,
With my Suse 9.0 and kde3.2-rc I can't use the Qt designer tool. When I try to launch it, it fails and shows me "segment violation".
kde3.2-rc is installed on /home/daniel/kde3.2-rc and although I had Qt 3.2 I had to download and compile the Qt 3.2 from konstruct.
The only thing that I found that doesn't work is the Qt "designer".
Any idea?

kmail still no filtering back to imap
by Garett Shulman on Friday 30/Jan/2004, @14:15
|
It appears that kmail 1.6 is still not capable of filtering mail back to imap mailboxes. This is seriously dissappointing. I understand that a lot of you feel that this should be done on the server, and I don't disagree, however the main email server on campus, and many others across the net do not support any form of server side filters.(sigh) back to the lizard...
