kyro Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 this is maybe the last important thing i havent done yet. that is upgrading KDE. is it worth it to go from 3.1 to 3.2 (BTW , me on fedora core1 + K2.6) is there any guide somewhere?. KYRO. p.s:- Jade your sig+avatar roxer :punk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PseudoRandomDragon Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Yes it is worth it. They made many improvments, like Konquerer being faster. If you are interested, here is the change log. There is a good chance that when Mandrake 10 is released, it will already come with this version of KDE, so if you are planning to upgrade to Mandrake 10, might as well stick with what you have for now. Jade: There is a QT library thing (here) that is required by KDE 3.x, maybe you forgot that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MulletRobZ Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Mind if you could check the KDE Control Centre, please? Because I had a couple of bugs installing KDE 3.2.0 on Slackware 9.0 and the startup screen/menu still read KDE 3.1, but it is still recognized as KDE 3.2.

MrStaticVoid Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 You wrote an installer!? rpm -Uvh * will install everything in the correct order :p Anyways, try removing your dot files. You should do that whenever you update anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markwolfe Veteran Posted February 8, 2004 Veteran Share Posted February 8, 2004 Renaming a .config file to .config_old is a good idea. That way you can still have immediate access to your old setup for reference purposes. (yet it won't throw a monkey wrench in there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadeWolf324 Posted February 8, 2004 Author Share Posted February 8, 2004 (edited) You wrote an installer!? rpm -Uvh * will install everything in the correct order :p Anyways, try removing your dot files. You should do that whenever you update anything. and all of my configs stayed i got 3.1 back and its back to normal again. ya i wrote a big installer that basically sets off all of them off with that command only one after another in a mass quantity.... EDIT: those of you who have KDE if you want to try this i will post the rpms and installer if u want to try this out..it may have just been my PC and im gonna try again with absolutely no KDE on the system... these rpms came DIRECTLY from cooker..so there is no reason why they should not work..they are also stable 3.2.0 no pre's.

TranceSphere Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I used rpm -Uvh *.RPM and it worked fine for me on fedora :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
