Re: KDE 3.0.1 is out

2002-05-28 Thread Matthew Carpenter

Some of the only issues I've run into with it blowing up on me have been
related to the .DCOP and socket links when I do something out of the
ordinary.  I'd kind of prefer that these were deleted at start up
(softlinks from .kde and .kde2 to /tmp/...) because while I can figure
them out, I always look at Linux as an ALTERNATIVE to Windows, not just
it's mysterious nemesis (ie.  How would my parents feel if this
happened?).  Normally this behavior happens when I su to another user and
start up some DCOP-oriented KDE app (which I'm not real impressed with). 
Other than that, I am KDE or CLI and have been since my start with OL2.2. 
I've used Gnome a bit, don't get me wrong.  But I always have been more
impressed with KDE, and particularly COL's versions of KDE (with
integration of key system config apps into KControl)

So is keeping an /opt/kde with a few mysterious items in it, as well as
an /opt/kde2 with the actual KDE2 a Caldera thing? And what about $KDEDIRS ?

If you don't ever have KDE1 installed (like a new Caldera 3.x install), then
what is the point of KDEDIR pointing to where KDE is NOT installed but
instead to a place that contains a few old relics present on the system for
no documented reason? As Calders compile everything froms scratch in their
distro (right?), what would want/need a place separate from where KDE2 is
installed?

If I later install a new KDE, then I place them elsewhere. But I am only
wondering about the original install of a single version of KDE2.

Seems quite stable, but on my athlon1.4 it's slow to start apps, whereas
xfce or icewm are instant on with most things. (unless they need to
start some kde init)

My favorite mode is to have both kde and gnome installed, but run the
apps from xfce or icewm. (once I've used the kde or gnome menus enought
to know what's available on each distro that I mess with)

I do this as well. What makes this tricky on Caldera is that they have an

which should point at it: /opt/kde (of course not) or /opt/kde2 ? If you
redirect the distro's /opt/kde2 to your /opt/kde3, what to do with /opt/kde?
I usually just let it be. But I think it, along with the KDEDIR/KDEDIRS
duality, is a source of problems. Many programs want to use KDEDIR, which
is not pointing to the distro. Only KDEDIRS does. Resulting in configuration
inconsistencies.

Re: KDE 3.0.1 is out

2002-05-24 Thread Brett I. Holcomb

I guess it's stable most of the time.  My setup is Caldera's KDE 2.2.1 on 
WS 3.1.  Periodically KDE decides it won't run some apps (last night it was 
Mozilla) in that they exit when asked to run.  Then it decides it won't run 
when you login and gives you no panel or just the grey X screen background. 
 At that time you have to do the save ~./kde2, delete it, clear out /tmp 
and DCOP files, then restart KDE, copy back what you want and run for a 
while longer.  I have a stock system - no mods.  To me this doesn't fit the 
Linux stability concept.

 accounts, good filtering - something others don't do.  Knode is a decent
 newsreader.  However, KDE is an oinking pig.  It's a Window enviroment with
 the emphasis on WINDOWS!  Windows has blue screens of death  - KDE just
 decides to quit working and you have to remove all in /tmp, delete ~./kde2
 (actually save it somewhere, then delete it) and put all your apps back in
 it!  And like windows it does it at the most inopportune time.  I'll be
 checking out xfce and Gnome.

I have experienced non of the problems you talk about, however it maybe that 
with the hardware setup I have; both disk and memory space; I might just 
never see them beacuse of that fact.
