KDE in Sarge stopped working for me on Tuesday. The stoppage was associated with an apt-get upgrade. I was unable to recover the previous state in several days of fiddling with apt-get, aptitude, etc. I got my KDE working again by doing a dist-upgrade to unstable. A few nice things happened in this upgrade, for instance, eject now works on my CD/DVD reader. I'm not really interested in tracking the latest stuff. So I have set up apt preferences to track Sarge. This will, I think, keep the current setup, which will eventually become a true Sarge system as newer versions of packages that I am using migrate from Sid to Sarge. I have a mixed KDE/Gnome setup, which I prefer to either KDE or Gnome. A failure in either quickly brings my work to a stop, but I like my mix. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
