Hi,
It seems I'm still not able to sign up to Bugzilla. I don't get the sign
up e-mail when I fill in my address.
The reason the Kubuntu KDM theme doesn't show, is because the directory
kdm-settings in the source and when installed /etc/default/kdm.d is
missing from kubuntu-default-settings-kde3. Is there a reason this was
removed? It would be nice if it could be added back, so the Kubuntu
theme in KDM would work again.
Thanks,
Julius

Hi Julius,
That directory was removed because it *completely* breaks the ability to
change the theme to anything else.
Have you tried installing kdmtheme and selecting the Kubuntu theme from
the Control Center?

Hi Tim,
Are you sure about that? I looked at the init script and it seems to do
a grep on the kdm config file. When you use the theme selector, it
should override the value causing the grep to fail and not include the
default theme.

Hi Tim,
On Hardy it seems to work properly with the script. (Seems I was
mistaken on how it exactly works in my earlier mail.)
After I used kdmtheme on Hardy I got an extra file
/etc/default/kde.d/30_kubuntu_default_settings, which contained the
settings for the new theme.
In Karmic, kdmtheme-kde3 changes the file /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc directly
however, which doesn't work together with the init script.
I also noticed an extra kubuntu_02_confchanges.diff patch for kdmtheme
in the Hardy source which is not Karmic source. I guess this may change
kdmtheme so it works with the scheme from the init script and
kubuntu-default-settings.

The problem should now be fixed; I have altered the /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc

New subject: KDE3 in Karmic still not fixed
The packages are still broken. For example trying to install KDE3
removes any Qt3 applications previously installed such as Gambas and
HBasic. Removing KDE3 also removes all Qt3 applications (including
Gambas).
Not compatible with nvidia-190 drivers, tries to remove them upon KDE3
install.

Works with neither nvidia nor ATI cards for me. To be fair, I am
convinced all/most of the problems are due to the underlying Ubuntu
(rushed and botched) distro. Hopefully by 9.10.2 things will improve.
An aside - Karmic Koala has got to be the oxymoron-of-the-decade! For
those of you that have never had to handle one of those dirty, scruffy,
smelly, scratchy, piddly animals, I can assure you that there are few

I respectfully disagree. I installed KDE3 on top of the Ubuntu-9.04
jaunty (GNOME) and it went very smoothly. I never installed KDE4.
However some KDE4 libraries got somehow installed but caused no
problems. Cannot comment on Karmic.

Wait, if you downloaded the Intrepid disc, then the Jaunty disc, and
then the Karmic disc, and did all the respective upgrades only using
the KDE3.5 remix disc for the repository, wouldn't that work? I'm
sure there's just something I don't know about here, though, but it
*sounds* like it would work.

Could someone (Tim) please do it manually?

Then try to remove KDE3. It will remove Gambas and other Qt3 applications as well.

If you use synaptic package manager you have a fine-grained control of
what gets removed. Under "Custom Filters -> Marked Changes" you can
uncheck the packages slated for removal before hitting "apply" button.
Linux is still by and large a manually controlled OS. With apt-get,
dpkg and synaptic you can control your installed base to a great
degree.

No you cannot uncheck removal of those packages without refusal to unstall kde3.
Even aptitude does not help.
