At last :))) - John SUSE Freak - 2004-12-08

Already installing SUSE 8.2 packages via YaST :)

Re: At last :))) - anonymous coward - 2004-12-08

Just installed on 9.1. Works great BTW, but what's this KDE 3.3.2 'Level a' they're talking about? See Help -> About KDE.

Re: At last :))) - Stephan Kulow - 2004-12-09

That's an addition by suse, so suse knows what package you installed. level 'a' means unpatched

Re: At last :))) - Evan "JabberWokky" E. - 2004-12-09

Is there a way to do it automatically rather than downloading the rpms and then rpm -Uvh (or, I would assume, yast -i, although I usually use rpm)? SUSE 9.1 Pro here.

Re: At last :))) - Anonymous - 2004-12-09

Add ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.1/yast-source/ as source to YaST.

Re: At last :))) - Evan "JabberWokky" E. - 2004-12-09

Already have it there (tried it last update). No idea why it's not showing up. (...testing...) Hurm. Either it was me moving the URL to the top of the list or me finding the right place in the Install/Remove Software... either way, it's working now. Thanks!

Damnit... - AL - 2004-12-08

My first Gentoo installation just emerged 3.3.1... Now I know what they were talking about...

Re: Damnit... - Gour - 2004-12-08

Use deltup (http://linux01.gwdg.de/~nlissne/) to reduce download. As far as compile is concerned, here I cannot help :) Sincerely, Gour

OT: Re: Damnit... - Eleknader - 2004-12-09

Gentoo compiles a lot faster with ccache. It does not help, if you did not use ccache while compiling 3.3.1, but it will help in the future. Using ccache is explained well on Gentoo site. Eleknader

True :cry: I forgot that I'm using it :) Sincerely, Gour

I hope they get this one fixed - Anonymous bug-reporter - 2004-12-08

When displaying long filenames on multicolumn mode konqui truncates them. And also when using minimum icon size, the option for displaying names on several rows doesn't get honored. So it's a real pain seeing a list of an mp3 dir like this: Some_artist-Some_album... Some_artist-Some_album... Some_artist-Some_album... Some_artist-Some_album... And add to this that the popup on mouseover doesn't show file name and usually hides the bottom state bar where it's shown... :( So, if you don't like this behaviour just vote for. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=80899

Slackware - JC - 2004-12-08

Sorry for not providing Slackware packages before the announcement. They are done, I'm testing them and they will be available before 24h.

Re: Slackware - Mikhail Capone - 2004-12-09

Thanks. I'll be downloading them as soon as they are available.

Re: Slackware - Anonymous Coward - 2004-12-09

Thanks for providing all these slackware kde packages. But why don't you release your build-scripts too? That would be great.

fink - ed moyse - 2004-12-09

Now I just have to wait 6 months for it to appear on Fink. Ho hum. (I've moved to an OSX machine, but I honestly prefer some of the KDE apps. Especially Kdevelop)

Slackware 10 packages - Fast_Rizwaan - 2004-12-09

http://ftp.scarlet.be/pub/linuxpackages/Slackware-10.0/pcxz/kde/3.3.2/ Thanks "pcxz" for providing so many great apps for slackware in time!!!

But sometimes he should try his packages first. Most of them are not working.

problem with qt-gtk-engine? - Iuri Fiedoruk - 2004-12-11

I use the qt-gtk-engine for making gtk1/gtk2 apps to have the style of KDE apps, but after upgrading to 3.2.2 it stopped working. I recompiled it, reinstaled from zero, and nothing... Anyone elase have this problem or have 3.2.2 working with qt-gtk-engine?

Re: problem with qt-gtk-engine? - Iuri Fiedoruk - 2004-12-11

Nevermind, running the CVS version that have a much better configure for package detection (I was missing some) solved my problem.

Re: problem with qt-gtk-engine? - WoLf - 2004-12-15

So the CVS version of gtk-qt-engine will correct the gtk theme issue?

Re: problem with qt-gtk-engine? - Iuri Fiedoruk - 2004-12-16

Yes. Just Azureus/Gtk2 won't work with it. But everthing else is ok and better than with 0.5 version (could be my impression, but looks better and seems faster).

Re: problem with qt-gtk-engine? - Mariol - 2005-01-17

I've some problems with the qt-gtk-engine!!! I tried the installation with CVS (http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fgtk_2dqt here), but I can't find the configure file in the directory!! How to compile it?? My gtk on kde 3.3.2 is very awful... THANKS for the help

Warning: this is an unsecured session - Tim_ - 2004-12-15

KDM (kdmgreet) shows me this Warning: "Warning: this is an unsecured session". Any idee how to make it "secure" (get rid of this Warning)? Greetings

Re: Warning: this is an unsecured session - Joe - 2005-01-17

I'm wondering the same thing and an Internet search lead me to your post. I'm using Mepis Linux and one alarming fact is that any user has full access to any other user's desktop. I don't know how to get that corrected either. Is this a KDE issue?
