Installation KDE 4.3

Fogginz · 11-15-2009, 02:06 AM

Hello. I apologize for my English.
The problem: i `m install the slackware 13.0 without KDE. (In the installation process is not selected:
"KDE Qt and the K Desktop Environment for X" and
"KDEI International language support for KDE")
It defaults to XFCE. Now I want to install KDE 4.3. How to do it?
Thanks in advance.

See this thread:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ghlight=vbatts

You can download the packages you need from
http://cardinal.lizella.net/~vbatts/...ackages/4.3.1/

and install them with upgradepkg --install-new *.gz

There is currently no such build for Slackware-13.0 stable and kde-4.3.3.

Regards,

Martin

KDE 4.3.3 is out in -current, its completely stable.

Install with >

Code:

upgradepkg --install-new *.t?z

just a reminder, update the other current packages which are required for KDE 4.3.3 to run properly.

Can KDE 4.3.3 run on Slackware-13.0 stable? What packages do we need to get from -current to get kde-4.3.3 on -stable?

kde 4.3.3 will not run on slackware stable. all current packages are needed!

the most important package you need from current is qt-4.5.3_063bded-x86_64-3.txz

You will have to upgrade to Slackware-current in order to use the KDE 4.3.3 that is in -current. Do not try to perform a partial upgrade unless you are very sure of what you are doing.

Yes, I know that. I was only curious whether it is somehow possible to run kde-4.3.3 on -stable. Not necessarily the kde-4.3.3 that is in current. It seems it is not possible, since nobody so far has claimed to have done that.

I am running Slackware 13 (i386) with GNOMESlackBuild 2.26.3. Will running the upgrade break GSB?

I think not. Should update only the base system.
