Hi debian-kde team

thanks for packaging kde4! great job !

*it works for me

Installation was a little bit rough (like having aptitude saying that it want to remove some packages like g++) but it went fine in the end.


I now use kde4 daily. The features/eye candy are quite impressive like the desktop/kwin effects. I feel also that somehow the environment is quite responsive compared to previous version and considering all the eye candy.


There are glitches though
*

*o it seems that many apps are not saving their config or changes in their config files like for example the wallpaper config
*** which starts blank at each session or konsole which doesn't save new profiles

o kwalletmanager does not seem* to import properly the kde3 one (which is bad)
o kmilo does not seem to work, does it ?
o suspend doesn't work any more, it was setup by klaptopdaemon in kde3

any one with similar experience ?

Import KDE3 config doesn't work.
Current KDE4 packages use .kde4 as kde home and KDE3 use .kde.
That situation will change when KDE4 will be good enough to replace KDE3.

You can remove your .kde4, copy .kde to .kde4 and see if your config is properly imported.


cheers,

Fathi

yes configurability is way less then in KDE3 currently

copying the kwallet files from .kde/share/config/ and .kde/share/apps/
to .kde4/share/config/ and .kde4/share/apps/ fixes that (or did for me)

This is a bug upstream which has not been fixed. It has nothing to do with
KDE4's kwalletmanager.

Even if you try to import a .kwl file in KDE3's kwalletmanager, you'll still
get the same problem.

I'm using testing and could install only very few KDE4 applications (kopete
(which is useless right now due to a missing otr plugin), dolphin and okular,
afair), let alone a full KDE4 environment because than i had to uninstall
some important applications like kmail. Konqueror is on the "can't install"
list, too.

Best Regards,
Martin

It's possible. I installed KDE4 desktop and kept kontact without problem.
kmail doesn't exist for KDE 4.0.0 so you can't conflict.
If you install a KDE4 desktop, you will use konqueror 4.0.0.

cheers,

Fathi

You're right. I didn't realize that using kdebase-kio-plugins from unstable
will solve my problems. kdebase-kio-plugins from testing depends on kdesktop
which leads to broken packages (i don't know exactly which package from
testing collides with one from experimental, has sth. to do with
kdebase-bin...).

Thanks,
Martin
