KDE3.5 Jaunty Beta LiveCD Image Available--Testers Wanted!

by Timothy Pearson

I have just finished building a KDE3.5 LiveCD for Kubuntu 9.04 Jaunty, available here: http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net/cdimages/ Currently, only the i386 image is available for download, but I am working hard to compile the amd64 version as well. Are there any brave souls willing to try this image out and give me some feedback as to the installed program selections, stability of live and installed systems, default theme, etc.? If so, please report back to the kubuntu-kde3.5-users list or file some bugs! :-) Tim

Repository location change

by kb9vqf＠pearsoncomputing.net

The KDE3.5 repository has been migrated to a new team PPA, and in the next month or so I will be heavily modifying the PPA that you are currently using. I have updated the instructions on http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net to reflect the new team PPA, so please update your system with the new repository information as soon as possible. Be sure to update the GPG key as well, by following the instructions under "Add the GPG signing key". This will not affect your current software installation--the binaries have been copied directly from the existing PPA with no modifications. I am only requesting that you update the repository locations in an effort to prevent future problems, as the old PPA will become a development/testing PPA in the future. Thank you, and I hope you enjoy your KDE3.5 installation! Timothy Pearson KDE3.5 Maintainer

Update complete!

by kb9vqf＠pearsoncomputing.net

The update is finally complete! You may now update and then file bugs on the bug tracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net as needed. Before filing a bug, please check the following: 1. Make sure *all* of the available updates are actually installed. KDE3.5 is made up of many small packages, and some of them can "slip though the cracks" and not get updated by your package manager. The simple way to test this is to open a terminal and type "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" (without the quotes). 2. Does the bug still exist when you log in as a brand new user? If not, then one of your profile's configuration files (located in ~/.kde3) is most likely out of date, and you will need to find and update it manually. This repository is finally Debian directory structure compliant, and also compatible with any new version of KDE4 due to the prefix change. I hope this will make the transition to Jaunty quite smooth. As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions! Timothy Pearson KDE3.5 Maintainer http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net

Bugtracker back online

by kb9vqf＠pearsoncomputing.net

The KDE3.5 bugtracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net is back online. I ask the you refrain from filing new bugs until the current update is complete, at which point another announcement will be made. Status of update: I am still ironing out some bugs in kdebase and Compiz, but I have successfully run Compiz in the new prefix on my test machine. I hope that this update will be completed on schedule in the next couple of days. Thank you for your patience! Timothy Pearson KDE3.5 Maintainer http://apt.pearsoncomputing.net
