I tried to upgrade. Everything seemed to go well. I installed the dep and then the alien packages without issue. when KDE came up, there was a duplicate panel at the top of the screen and the performance was terrible. Anything that I tried to activate would not respond but would show if I switched to different desktop. It was all very strange. I am not used to having issues with Slackware packages but I think this must have been something I did wrong.
I am running -current with KDE 4.4.5 without issue now. |
@ryerke:
In that case, try move or rename your .kde directory into other name and give it a try :) |
Thanks...that was fast! I did that and added a new user just to be sure. Same effect both ways. I thought that I may have needed to merge the .new files or something but nobody has mentioned that. There is a possibility that one or more packages did not download properly. In fact...now that I think about it, I use Dansguardian and that has caused problems in the past.

i don't use Dansguardian, so i can't be sure about that
about the .new files, you can list all .new files using this Code:
find /etc -name "*.new" |
I've done it.
the upgrade from KDE 4.4.5 to KDE 4.5.0 And you know what ? Every things went tip top. I didn't removed the .kde directory in my home directory. I suppose upgrading from 4.4.5, we don't need. About Dolphin, it's true that I already had some bugs with it, Sometimes it stops responding and I have to use the system monitor to stop it. Quote:

junk activities on startup
my upgrade went smoothly, except that there are a lot of junk activities created at startup. i've removed them manually but they re-appear after logging in again.
i suspect this could be because of using the old .kde folder. i wouldnt want to create a new one as i have saved a lot of settings e.g shortcuts, widgets , kmail etc |

"If you are adventurous and want to try this on Slackware 13.1 anyway, I think you could get lucky by installing/upgrading the packages which you will find in the “deps” directory of my KDE 4.4.5 package repository for Slackware 13.1. Basically, all those updated “deps” packages are are the real difference between Slackware-13.1 and slackware-current at this moment." So, I guess that his post need to be updated, if this is not true. The post says that the only difference are the updated packages in deps, nothing else. |
Don't forget, if you're using Eric's KDE packages, and if you use slackpkg to update, to put those packages in /etc/slackpkg/blacklist. Otherwise you'll find yourself back with the old stuff.
This is the relevant part of my blacklist (running Eric's 4.4.5 on 13.1): Code:

I've been using these packages on 13.1 for several days now and have found that you also need to upgrade attica to the version in -current to get khotkeys server to run.
*Edit: I see BrianL has it in his blacklist. |

System Setting doesn't answer after after selecting Contry & Languages
I have upgrade from KDE 4.4.5 to 4.5.0.
I had installed previously the KDEi package. Now that I'm on KDE 4.5.0, and I click on country and languages, the System setting window just freeze. It does appear to me that I've upgraded the languages in KDE 4. 5.0 but the french interface is still working in KDE menus and I want to revert it back to english. :cool: NjB ;) |
