scarecrow Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 (edited) I know you're using KDEmod, but if it's really a KDE bug, then it should be just as common on both.James Yes, it was with kdemod, not vanilla Archlinux KDE 4.2 But since kdemod 4.1.3 had a sh&tload of bugs, but definitely not the tendency to crash X, I guess it's a bad synergy of KDE 4.2 and the last nvidia drivers. Another laptop, which has virtually the same package config, and is using an Intel onboard GPU, loads kdemod 4.2 without any issues.

Kieth Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I updated. It went well, took only a few minutes, and I haven't encountered any problems! I just added the ftp/kde4 page as an update site. Kieth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javaguy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 It's visually okay but seems pretty klunky to me. With the old KDE I could click on the taskbar or on the desktop and create a shortcut to an application, or to a directory and it would open a Konqueror window to show that directory. How do I do that in the new KDE? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tux99 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Hey, it's Linux, get used to it, on the bright side, it's free. But remember, you get what you pay for. Unlike with Windows where you pay through the nose to get f*cked up the ar$e... :P (sorry, couldn't resist...:D ) Edited February 6, 2009 by tux99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neddie Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 If anyone's interested, I wrote a few words about trying out this 4.2 live CD here. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
