Warning: If you open Kontact for the first time after installing KDE 3.4 don't get a hardattck like I almost did when you don't see your emails. They are still in $HOME/.Mail :D (copy them to .kde/share/apps/kmail/mail)

sorry i didnt read your post carefully enough.

but its true alot of things has changed in 3.4.0

it is a lot bigger difference then from 3.2 to 3.3

I noticed a few changes (just minor annoyances). My kicker settings where changed so that must be usisng a new config. And a lot of my shortcut buttons where changed. Other than that it's working great.

Ok KDE 3.4 looks sweet any bugs?? how hard would be be for me to upgrade from 3.3 to 3.4? When i went to 3.3 i used the rpms on my PowerPack CD.

Thanks,

SC

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

 

And: urpmi kdebase That will give you a working kde install. After that you can install all the other packages kdemultimedia, pim edu etcetc. (You have ofcourse to restart kde with for example ctr-alt-backspace)

after adding the THAC RPM source and typing urpmi kdebase, I get this error message:

 

 

Installation failed:
       qt3-common = 3.3.3-27.1.101mdk is needed by (installed) libqt3-3.3.3-27.1.101mdk

 

Anyone know how I can get around that?

 

TIA

 

Nate

 

 

EDIT: Okay, nevermind, I went with the "nuclear option". I went init 3, urpme qt3 and then urpmi kdebase.

 

Now EVERYTHING is FUBAR and kmenueditor is crashing. Oh well, what are ya gonna do?

This means that urpmi isn't setup correctly (not all sources/repositories arre available) or the sources are not up to date (urpmi.update -a). If something loke this happens don't uninstall but run urpmi.update and try again.

 

Your problem: could be config problems so rename the .kde folder and start kde again.

i should remind you that to use my rpms i have specific requirements for what urpmi repositorys

that should be used.

mandrake Main,Contrib, plf and mine (thacs)
