27. Jul 03 I was too optimistic. I have some problems with Debian 3 and KDE 3, which I downloaded recently (without doing anything about Qt3, since that seems beyond my scope and I am not sure it is necessary)
1) I once clicked pppoeconf and since then it is not possible to remove it from Desktop 1. "Close" brings no reaction whatsoever 2) If I move from KDE (which is on tty7) to, let say tty3 KDe breaks down and I get the message: [drm:i910_flush_queue] *ERROR* lockup repeatedly. After a while I get the logging-window. All this seems to happen if I am in one of the KDE applications (Konqueror, Kword, etc.) and I leave that to move to tty3. 3) I cannot set kppp going. I get the message: "kppp cannot open modem". I tried the help instruction "# chown root:root $KDEDIR/bin/kppp" but there is no file /bin/kppp 4) I can get online with wvdial. I tried then to set an email account in Opera. All settings, preferences are apparently correct, I can read webpages in Opera, but neither get or send e-mails. Preferences tell me: "POP disconnected, SMTP disconnected". No way to change that, up to now. Can somebody give me a tip?

I think you're not familiar enough to install something like kde3 from sourcecode, so you should get a packaged version. Put this into your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian woody main And then do a apt-get update. After that you can install KDE3 with apt-get install kdelibs4 kdebase kdenetwork kdepim kdeaddons ...
