A quote frome Pat from the README in the KDE directory for these unsupported packages:

I still use KDE4 I'll have you know. I don't mind beta software that much... |
what are you all using KDE for anyway? Bling just gets in the way. If you always have applications maximized, why do you need bling?
I think perhaps the better factor to concider is how well other applications support QT4. MythTV for example only has stable versions for QT3. If you want to install MythTV on slackware 13.0, you have to use an unstable SVN download. |

It was BIOS, telling me that the CPU fan was not running. Makes sense, because that fan is in a box 20 feet away; I installed water cooling six years ago. So into BIOS I go, and switch off the CPU fan detector again. Anything that messes with BIOS is not for me. There were other problems, so I'll wait for Slackware 13.1 |

I have installed the 64 bit version of Slackware 13.0 added Alien Bob's 32-bit compatibility layer and tried KDE4, XFCE4 and KDE3.5.10. These thoughts are not empirical they are only my feelings. KDE4 feels slow and as if it has some rough edges, all the bits are there they just don't fit closely. Xfce4 feels smooth and slick, yet ultimately incomplete. KDE3.5.10 feels familiar, complete and smooth.
It should be understood that the only parts of KDE3.5.10 that I have installed are kdebase and kdelibs, with the addition of kdei en_GB, k3b3 and k3b3 internationalization. In this setup it feels as fast as XFCE4 yet is more integrated. My choice is KDE 3.5.10, and XFCE4.6.1 will be a worthy successor when all the bits are ready. KDE4.2.4 needs to improve dramatically. samac |
has anyone tested/installed the 32bit version of kde 3.5.10?
the reason why I ask is that here ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackwar...packages/i486/ the kdelibs3-3.5.10-x86_64-opt2.txz seams to have the wrong ARCH |

I put KDE 3.5.10 on a fresh install of Slackware 13.0 64bit,
but the kdepim3 package is missing. (I wanted akregator and kmail) Turns out, kdepim-3.5.10 won't build on 13.0, but I found a patch that seems to do the trick. Code:
--- kdepim-3.5.10/kmail/editorwatcher.cpp.old I figure this is the last time I'll see the old KDE. Can't be many people still using it, I've searched and found no mention of this missing package. EDIT: Found another problem: Automounting external drives doesn't work. I'm assuming because the dbus-qt3 package is also missing. I used the build scripts from 12.2 to build dbus-qt3-0.70. An additional configure option is needed on 13.0: --with-qt3-moc=/opt/kde3/bin/moc Automounting still wouldn't work, but a thread on the "Linux from scratch" forum pointed me towards rebuilding kdebase3. That did the trick. Everything seems to work as well as ever, so I'll try to use this version of KDE until 4.x adds a setting to disable "mouse wheel scrolls through desktops" (I absolutely must be able to turn this off). |

Which don't work quite so well. :) Have you tried using Koffice lately in slack 13? So stable it don't need a spell checker. |
