Any one try KDE 3.4.1 ?
 
Hey all, I am wondering if anyone has tried the new kde 3.4.1? I have noticed that debians stable kde is quit old, but has been working fine exept for one thing. If I mount a media through the desktop icon, I cant unmount without having to kill kdeinit. I would be thinking by the new kde 3.4.1 that this issue would be non-existant. I am wondering though, if anyone has had problem with this version, cause if not, I would rather use the newer version.

BTW, does anyone know what the new "features" are with kde 3.4 ?

I know how to install the new kde through apt-get. #debian-kde from irc.freenode.net has the line to add to sources.list to get it.

Thanx everyone for the help!

I had a similar problem on KDE 3.2 with Slackware, although my problem arouse when ejecting the CD. What I did is add 3 lines to /opt/kde/bin/kdeeject:

Code:
    *)
      # added by pu the next 3 lines
      for p in `lsof -t $1` ;
        kill $p
      done
      # end added by pu
      eject $1 >/dev/null 2>&1
      ;;
In Sarge, the same file is at /usr/bin/kdeeject and looks similar, maybe you can give it a try.

I have run KDE 3.4.1, it runs fine for me. Don't use it now though, just tested it out.

Thanx for the info uselpa! ToastedToad, why shouldn't I use it now?

No, sorry, you mistook my meaning. I meant that "I" don't use it now, because I use gnome. It's is pretty sweet, there are still bugs but no show stoppers for me.

Sorry for the confusion.

I've been using it for several weeks now on this Debian Sid machine. I've also installed it on a couple of Sarge machines. It's fast (comparitively)! So fast that I even am able to run it on a 233/128 meg laptop and get reasonable performance out of it... I just make sure I've got a good book nearby if I fire up OpenOffice.org on that machine :oP

The only issue I had is that kaffeine (KDE front end to xine) likes to crash, I've since replaced it with xine-ui which works just fine.

i upgraded to kde 3.4.1 a week ago
deb http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/kde-3.4.1/ ./

and it works great until now

when you add the repository just type :
apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade

but when i did that it upgraded every kde package except 2 packages that required a certain program (i think it was called dbus-qt-1_0.23.4-3_i386.deb)

so i just downloaded and installed that package from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux...ol/main/d/dbus/

and dist-upgraded again then it upgraded the last 2 packages :)

I've installed Sarge without X server and KDE and then instaled KDE 3.4.1 from that source (so I didn't upgrade 3.3.2 available with the distro). It wasn't quite a good idea, since I coudn't get the kdeedu and kdeedu-data packages to install. Also, that source lacks localization packages for KDE so in case you want to use non-english version of KDE (like me) you'll have to install older kde-i18n package (result - only partial localization).
