Hi Aryan, just move ~/.kde out of the way (maybe to ~/.kde.old), it contains all of your settings. (you may check /etc/ for a kdm dir, also..). then purge your current kde installation. this is recommended because a straight upgrade-path is not guaranteed with unofficial repositories. after that, install kde from sid, run it, and migrate your settings from ~/.kde.old to ~/.kde step by step. for me this works great and without greater issues..
hope this helps sven > -----UrsprÃngliche Nachricht----- > Von: Aryan Ameri [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Gesendet: Mittwoch, 2.
