Hello,
I did not try KDE3 on OpenSuse, but I guess that automounting/unmouting
should work out ot the box, since it's using HAL. If not, I think it's a
bug for KDE3.
I also think it's KDE3 bug. Well, automounting works, but when I
try to
unmount the drive in
media:/ I get error claiming that I have no permissions to do so.
About network management, I don't think we
have anything usable yet in
TDE.
On my side, I'm using gnome's nm-applet for this purpose.
I also use
nm-applet. The problem is that when I ran it under KDE3 it
seemed crippled, as it was
unable to record new connections (both user and system wide connections)
and send any commands to
NetworkManager. Coping configuration files from old installation to
appropriate dir in /etc made
these conectios available, but still this was not what I expected :/
Anyway, if nm-applet works
in TDE and allows to add and control connections without any problem then
I'm happy.
That I guarantee, seeing as it was the only option under Debian
Wheezy/Ubuntu Precise for a while. Note that the Ubuntu Precise nm-applet
version has a bug that randomly renders it unusable; see below.
If you can
wait some more days, we are about to release TDE 3.5.13.1, an
updated 3.5.13 version, which will be available for OpenSuse 12.2 and
Ubuntu Precise, among others.
Promise? If so, then I can wait, though I was
desperate to get my system
up and running till the
end of week. I am still considering Debian, though I'm a bit reluctant to
go with Squeeze since
it will soon become oldstable.
We are building Wheezy packages for R14, and I have successfully booted
TDE on Wheezy/armel as of a few days ago, so upgrading from Squeeze when
Wheezy is released shouldn't be too difficult.
So you can try
it and post feedback.
Oh believe me, you will hear me complaining.... :)
BTW. What are these problems in LTS 12.04 that you mentioned Tim? I have
some friends using this
Ubuntu and i didn't hear any complaints from them.
When used over almost any kind of remote connection Xlib segfaults on
XRandR access, rendering the system almost unusable. Add in the nm-applet
icon randomly disappearing when used outside of Unity (including under
XFCE), two different GTK toolkits in use (v2 and v3), and a few other
issues and the overall system begins to feel very unpolished and downright
buggy.
Hope this helps!
Tim
