Thanks thac,

 

I found other place, and now I have thac in my MCC.. I did:

urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/thac/10.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz

 

Is that relate to the one you gave me?

I tried to download KDE 3.4, but apparently I can't make it install from MCC. But I am thinking if I could try with your either RPM or SRPM. Can you tell me which one I should install from RPM or SPRM?

 

Currently, I have MDK 10.1, KDE 3.2.3... Is there other things I need to know before able to complete the installation with KDE 3.4?

 

Thanks again!

Go get them at http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/t...RPMS/kde-3.4.0/

 

(I'm done downloading so the bandwith is all yours (download size about half a gig). :)

 

This is the one you have in KDE control center which indicated that you have 3.4 version upgrade while I have 3.2.3 as current and if I would like to upgrade to 3.4 just you did that appeared in KDE control center.

 

BTW, sorry, I should have edit them instead of three seperate! :oops:

hehehe, just got the kde3.4 installed, thanks thac, so far, am not encountered any problem yet...

 

 

now I found one, this is regarding switching DM, when using mdkKDM and XDM, fine, but using KDM. upon loading the splash screen, it will crashed, it says.. ( kdmgreet ) crashed.

anyway, it wont be a problem since i preferred using XDM, but there should be a fix on this one

Thanks Thac! :)

 

Got it working eventually, though I did it on a fresh install and had to urpme out kdeaddons halfway through the urpmi-athon.

 

Few problems, which I presume are related to how mandrake relates to KDE - CDRoms wouldn't automount (sorted it), Can't go straight to turning off the computer (have to log off and 'reboot' or 'halt' now, even if I press 'turn off the computer') and the shadowing / translucency options do horrible things to my system speed. Will keep it until 10.2 final comes out tho :)

I just upgraded from 3.3 to 3.4thac and it apears I have lost my bookmarks in Konqueror. Anyway to restore them? I'm still looking around, but this "looks" very nice. I've also lost most of my kicker settings, e.g, all the menu buttons I set in kicker. Guess I'll be playing around to get them back. :)

 

Also, if I login with KDM, all I get is a single window-manager-less console. KDE itself does not apear to start. However, issuing 'startx' from a console brings up my KDE session.

 

Other oddities include: Super Karamba has lost it's transparency, but I'll see if you have an updated package available.

 

Nice work Thac. :)

 

Could anyone imagine if Thac and TexStar got together on a distro? It would most likely be very nice and upto date. :) Mandrake should just hire these two.

Guest TRN4L
once again ceck the required urpmi repositorys.

you must have 5 of them

1.mandrake main

2.mandrake contrib

3. plf 10.1 free

4. plf non-free

5. thacs rpm

 

if not there will be failed dependencys

 

and yes kde-3.4.0 requires xorg-6.8.2

 

 

are 1, and 2 on mandrakeclub.com?

 

where are 3 and 4?

 

I have 5. I'm sorry if these are common sense questions, but i'm new to linux, and I'm trying hard to learn how it works

 

EDIT: neverming I found 3 and 4 I believe. sorrry.

I have followed steps and steps until I typed urpmi kdebase and it appeared "questionaires" example:

 

[root@localhost]# urpmi kdebase

One of the following packages is needed:

1- uClibc-devel-0.9.21-3mdk.i586 : Development files for uClibc (to install)

2- glibc-devel-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk.i586 : Header and object files for development using standard C libraries (to install)

What is your choice? (1-2)

 

I am currently use KDE 3.2 and Xorg 6.8.2 (which I just upgrade it) Do I need to upgrade KDE 3.3 first before going for 3.4?

No you don't have to update to 3.3 to go to 3.4 just make sure the you have all the repostories.

1.mandrake main

2.mandrake contrib

3. plf 10.1 free

4. plf non-free

5. thacs rpm

 

you can use Easy-Urpmi to get them.

PS use glibc-devel-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk.i586

good luck

I have 5 of those above and downloaded worked beautiful until I restarted the compuer; I think I am in big trouble since the bug appeared after boot,

 

SHORT DESCRIPTION

The application unknown (kdegreet) crashed & cause the signal 11 (SIGSEGV)

 

They only allowed full terminal and behind little bit of background. That is it...

 

Pray to recover? Thanks...

Eeek! TBH, if you're as much as a linux newb as me then I'd stick with default Mandrake/DE until you really feel confident about what you're doing - perhaps mandrake will include a fourth 3.4 disk with the upcoming 1.2 release, like they did with 1.1 and KDE3.3?
