I followed the civileme way (message in newbie list):
First of all I haven't enought spaces in my /opt directory, so I did: mv /opt /usr/share/opt and then ln -s /usr/share/opt /opt. then cd /<directory with the kde3 packages>, in my case /disk/kde3 urpmi unixODBC (civileme wrotte unixodbc but it doesn't run) urpmi postgresql urpmi MySQL (the MySQL-devel package is not in the 8.2 3cds distribution, I had to download it from rpmfind.net rpm -ivh *rpm (still some dependences, I installed it and start finally the kde3 installation) Messages: warning: group nobody does not exist - using root ¿WHAT THE MEANING OF THIS MESSAGE? After to that I start Xtart and a new 11 elemente (KDE) appeared. If I start kde2 (option 1) not problems. Then out form KDE 2 and again Xtar; 11 and kde3 starting: Sound Server: error while initializing::::: no kde sounds :-( 2 Trash icons, one could be deleted. ¤ has dessapeared from kde applications :-( No Spanish language selection possible, menu and messages in English :-(; not language possible selection other than English. After close kde3 if I try to run kde 2 (startkde) it is not possible; a message says: KPERSONALIZER: CANNOT CONNECT TO X SERVER. If I try to run kde2 from Xtart (option 1) after have runed at least 1 time kde3, I get a kind of hybrid windows manager, with the kde 3 introduction screen, but icons of kde 2, not kde sound and english menus and messages :-( Not more kde2 pure :-( I decided to install a second 8.2 in my /object directory to test kde3 and I uninstall all kde3 packages from my main 8.2. Also this could well for new test, for instance that Civileme ask for xcdroast because I solved the multiple xcdroast problems in 8.2 downgrading to 8.1 implied packages (cdrecord, cdrecord-dd2wav, mkisofs and xcdroast), so I will test the original one in this second package. IMPRESSION: kde3 looks great, but still some bugs to solve, so more test are needed and perhaps 3.1 could be a good final package; if those or similar problems appear in other distribution, they are mad to put it directly, as Suse said. I will send more comments about kde3 after work with it for a while. Francisco Alcaraz Murcia (Spain)
