Hi, I've installed the 2.0-final debs of kdyc (see other posts on what apt.sources line to use). I've got everything running almost completely stable, other than a very occasional crash of Konqueror (only happened twice so far), and klipper dying when you highlight stuff in Netscape (it's a known KDE bug). I found that some packages, such as kdenetwork, are obsolete now, and you should install the packages it was broken down into (knode and kmail, in this case). The obsolete package has apps that crash, the newer packages work fine. Probably the best thing to do is to install the virtual package 'task-kde', which will install a whole slew of packages and give you a proper KDE setup. You still might have to install some KDE packages you want that it missed, but in general I've gotten the best results that way. -- Maciej Kalisiak | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.dgp.toronto.edu/~mac [McQ] PGP-finger|www; (0x39AC36F5) 9F BB 9E 11 F0 1E 5D 20 0B 31 3D 37 47 D0 67 C7 GE/CS d- s++:+ a- C++(+++) ULAI++ P+++ L+++ E+++ W++ N- o?

The appropriate line in your sources.list file is deb http://kde.tdyc.potato kde2 kde2 is another story though. kde2 apps seem to be crashing on me left and right. Within 5 min of starting up, the little kde2 clipboard app crashes and pops up an annoying segfault warning window. Then, every time I exit an app from within the kde2 window manager (i.e. kde2 and non-kde2 apps), I get the annoying segfault warning window explaining to me that the app crashed. Is anyone else experiencing these same problems?

Re: KDE2 dependence problem
I am experiencing KDE2 crashes, too. I got a few crashes in the Control Center. It looks like win. At least, you can kill the app without rebooting. Hope they fix these problems.

I'm using kde2 as my desktop, but only using few apps from kde. Even the terminal (konsole) is unusable for me as I couldn't manage it to accept dead keys, already configured in X (all apps can use but konsole).

Re: KDE2 dependence problem
I've had rather better luck, KDE2 went straight onto my storm box with the exception of the sign-on box at the beginning needing to change which system to pick, konqueror won't run Java stuff but that apart seems nice and stable.

I am having similar problems, but not as frequently as you are.

Talking about this: I managed to install KDE2 without problems, and was running pretty nice on X3.3.6 and Mesa3, but now, after installing the utah-glx packages for TNT2-chipset, I can't even get this KDE stuff started anymore, seems that the qt library bails out with an error complaining about a wrong (?) libgl1 - library which is provided by the utah-glx package...

Re: KDE2 dependence problem
Quoth Peter Fedichev, I have seen a couple of I have installed KDE2 reports here. How have you managed, since .debs on ftp.kde.org seem to require libgl1? I used the following line in my apt sources.list deb http://kde.tdyc.com potato kde2 Then I did an apt-get install on all the task-kde-* packages (if you go a grep ^Package: task-kde on the packages file you'll see what they all are). I didn't need to install anything from unstable. I'm a helix-gnome user at heart, but I'd heard a lot about the new kde so I thought I'd try it out. It looks cool, but is not the most stable thing in the world. While I don't think anything crashed while I was using it, konquerer always produced a segfault dialog box on exit. All flames aside, on debian potato, helix gnome seems to be a lot more stable at the moment. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller | Did a large procession wave their torches Criminologist/Linux Geek | As my head fell in the basket, http://killfilter.com | And was everybody dancing on the casket...
