It seems promblems with artsd and alsa are fixed

Finally! Great, thank you!

by Allan S. (not verified)

What makes you think that? There are still both problems with dmix and general performance.

by ac (not verified)

Yes, but he's probably referring to the fact that you can now turn it off. Isn't that what it's there for? ;)

by rb (not verified)

I'm eagerly waiting for updated ruby bindings. Will these be coming in the 3.2 cycle?

Last time I checked, whilst reading an article about RMS on KDE, he (and I) were pleased the project was so dedicated to the Free Software definition. Reading the announcement, and I just checked the homepage, at what point did the site maintainer switch to supporting the Open Source definition?

by Jan (not verified)

I am a flOSS supporter. I think the FS vs OpenS Quarrel is an artificial one, that is not very important on the European agenda

by Martin Galpin (not verified)

Obviously whoever changed it didn't think so, otherwise it would have been left as it was. I'm simply asking for the reasons why.

This is amazing, some of the most disturbing bugs in Konqueror (mainly KHTML) are gone! Especially the gifs-not-looping bug, the text-not-being-selected-on-certain-cases bug and the dotted-line-looking-dashed bug.

KDE rocks! *cries of joy*

LOL

and All KDE Developers. I was not happy with 3.2.0 release due to KHTML. thanks.

Anyone has any idea if and when will debian woody packages be released?

Thanks

by Sahin (not verified)

Maybe Ralf Nolden will upload the debs soon. I hope so...

I'm waiting for woody packages too... ;-)

Ralf! Please, please, please...

by micha (not verified)

Why are debian/stable packages always delayed?

This distro should have highest packaging prio. The big linux distros have man-power of themselves. Right now, as the security advisories are out, every debian/stable admin knows, that his boxes are vulnerable to the cookie traversal bug. Hello kde packagers, please give us the chance to upgrade debian/stable before the security allerts come out. Where's this new kde-debian connection? Don't tell me to abandon from debian/stable.

Sorry for being harsh, but please change this vital issue.

by Richard Moore (not verified)

All packages have equal priority - zero. We do not provide packages.

Rich.

by micha (not verified)

Sorry, then this is the wrong place to flame. You are right, debian/stable is built by the debian qt/kde maintainers.

by Rizzo (not verified)

OK, so who is it?
I want KDE 3.2.1 on woody too!
usually woody packages are there within the first day.
Who can I ask?

by Sahin (not verified)

Hi Rizzo,

Maybe ask Rald Nolden!

You can obtain his E-mail address from the following file:

ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/3.2/Debian/README

However if Rald has spare time, he will create debs for woody. I'm sure.

Best Regards,
Sahin

by Sahin (not verified)

... and don't forget to share the info if you have any ...

Sahin

by Richard Moore (not verified)

Ralf is busy with family stuff at the moment, please don't bother him.

Rich.

by Sahin (not verified)

Thx for the info!

I told you... KDE 3.2.1 debs will be available as soon Ralf has time for it. ;-)

I am compiling on Debian testing/unstable (Knoppix 2-16-04). During the qt-x11-free compile I get this error:

Anyone else see this problem?

i got that error when compiling qt 3.3.1. It seems to have been caused by freetype 2.1.7 so i downgraded to 2.1.5. qt compiled successfully after that.

Yes, I got that error too with 3.2.3 - finally just downloaded the pre-built deb files and I'm on my way. Hopefully someone, somewhere with the right knowledge can get this fixed.

Thanks brulle!

That fixed me. I downgraded from 2.1.7 to libfreetype6-dev_2.1.5-3_i386.deb & libfreetype6_2.1.5-3_i386.deb and I'm back to compiling.

--Jayme

It got me too, this weekend.
I'm using Konstruct on a KNOPPIX_V3.3 02-16-EN to hdinstall.

The error points to this file... /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h
( The fixup only needs 2 lines changed. )
It's been fixed for a few months already in XFree86 4.4.0 (stable)

Here's their diff:
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/xc/lib/Xft/Xft.h.diff?r1=1.32&r2=1.33

Here you can save the 4.4.0 file straight into /usr/X11R6/include/X11/Xft/
(backup the original file first!)
http://cvsweb.xfree86.org/cvsweb/*checkout*/xc/lib/Xft/Xft.h?rev=HEAD&co...

Qt then finished compiling. Konstruct is still at it...

> Qt then finished compiling. Konstruct is still at it...

You're sure that you don't want to wait for KDE 3.2.2?

I included the library ft2build.h like this, before freetype.h

#include
#include FT_FREETYPE_H

#include
#include
#include

so, that's how I solved this

This is what I get when I try to start kopete:

kopete: relocation error: kopete: undefined symbol: _ZN17KopeteMetaContact10isTopLevelEv

Hi!

I finally merged kde3.2.1 and I'm very happy with it, except the sound. No program(juk, noatun) play any mp3 file. Oggs are working great.

I have libmad installed, so it should work.

Thanks for any advice

Both KDE 3.2 and KDE 3.2.1 package sets for SuSe 9.0 are missing KsCD. Anyone know why? Anyway I can get an RPM containing KsCD? It doesn't come with the kdemultimedia package(s) strangely enough...

Thanks.

by Lumir Vanek (not verified)

And JuK is also not found in KDE SuSE 9 packages :-(

by anon (not verified)

rpm -qf `which kscd`
kdemultimedia3-CD-3.2.1-7

by Lumir Vanek (not verified)

But SuSE do not provide this package. BTW JuK was part of kdemultimedia3-sound in KDE 3.2 RC2. But now it missing.

by David (not verified)

Does Suse not package these differently?

by Michael (not verified)

I found
kdemultimedia3-CD-3.2.1-7.i586.rpm
kdemultimedia3-jukebox-3.2.1-7.i586.rpm
on the ftp server from suse in the directory
/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_9.0/applications

by Hiryu (not verified)

Turns out the kdemultimedia package just wasn't installing for some reason. I used to know why, but it's been so long since I got it to work I can't remember what it is anymore. Something with dependencies that when I actually looked at the problem, I fixed it and got it working with little or no trouble.

Thanks for the replies!

Great release, lot of bugs squashed, BUT the most irritating bug to me is back, the network stall bug, which appears every time i try to copy paste a file from a LAN, the file is efectivelly copied but the kde windows stalls at the end, waiting for the end of file which is already there.
this as working in kde 3.2.0, and the other bug (the smbmount share bug, which never mounted the share) is now fixed.. oh well, can't win them all:P

btw if anyone has an workaround for the stall dialog bug, please let me know:)

besides this, great release as usual :)

best regards..

by macewan (not verified)

Works wonderfully. I installed it a work just yesterday. Thank you to the KDE developers.
