thac Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Our kde-3.5.0 for mandriva 2006.0 relaesed now This time didnt we release until we had fixed the worst bugs, to get a so stable version as possible at release. Avtually we have had kde-3.5 running for over a month now. Anyway the upgrade instruction is the same as for the last kde version upgrade we did. The new kde-3.5 is available here The new kde-3.5 is also available here Have fun Thac & Zé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devries Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I installed it and I must say it looks quite nice. The new plastik look is something I must get used too (let's hope they'll include a plastik classic). The installation went painless. The new tippoints (I hope they are called that :) ) look good. The superkaramba integrations works fine. Some of the wizards (setting up the anti spam for example) have gotten a new look. I'll post more information later after I've player with it some more. :) edit: Metabar doesn't look halve bad (though the default theme sucks). The controls for the audioplayer are missing but the kmplayer integration is very good. Now we only need a theme that looks great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thac Posted October 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 (edited) I have built missing akode-2.0b3 and a new kdemultimedia built with akodes and oggvorbis support. Please test theese two if it solves any of the multimedia arts bugs. Edited October 25, 2005 by thac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 One real improvement in kde 3.5 is the drawing of windows with composite ´on´. For example if you scrolled trhough pictures with kuickshow in 3.4 if the pictures changed size you would be left with black residue on your screen. In kde 3.5 the window drawing works perfect :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexter11 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Can I use it paralell with the 3.4.x version? Or do I have to get rid of that first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 You have to get rid of it if you plan to use these rpms. If you want to keep kde3.4 you need to build kde 3.5 yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Another thing about kde 3.5: the opengl screensavers no longer make X crash. Everytime in kde 3.4 I tried to use opengl screensavers it would crash X after some time. I've been using 3.5 for a week now and still not one crash. So if you like the fireworks screensaver it it time to upgrade :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I am all ready to start on my laptop, but I want to be sure it is usable. Perhaps I should wait until the 2006 iso's are available. My Mandriva is rc2 upgraded to the official (which worked marvelously) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 It's definately usable. The only problems with it are easily solved (switching amarok engines, editing the kickerrc by hand etcetc). However it's a beta so be prepared.... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixthusdan Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Yeah, if I get into trouble, I would not have an easy recovery. Or, I could run a complete back up of my linux partitions and then start playing! Now that sounds like fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmodem Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Since we released kde-3.5.0-pre for sure you (the users) notested some packages named differently, and now i would to say that the rest of the others are going to be done (think all already done) following the same packaging pollicy. So far we followed the mandrivas kde names but we have seen too much things not making any sense (since names to requires), so once for all we decided to do all kde modules with the same packaging policy. I also have just released new kdelibs, kdebase, kdesdk, kdemultimedia, and i hope to release the rest still today. greets, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmodem Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 To announce that today the mirros will be with no kde rpm files because we are building kde-3.5.0-1.pre and also because the last packages had some conflicts. These conflicts were caused by the last rpms, because they were changed to that way all kde rpms have the same packaging policy and there were some problems to resolve, we are only humans :) We ask for your patience, but probably tomorrow the new kde will be released. greetings, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
