support for the Suse Linux-distribution?
by Oliver Kullmann 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Hello, I would like to (roughly) know whether there are plans for supporting other Linux distributions than Ubuntu? I for example use Suse. It would be great if the KDE 3.5 would be available at some time as (just!) an alternative desktop in the standard distributions. Are there plans/hopes regarding this? I have experience in installing mathematical software, but I would guess that KDE can't just be installed locally, and there is quite a risk that it might destroy your working system, or? So I would think that for me, as a user, for using KDE 3.5 it has to come in some form supported by standard distributions. Thanks for your time! Oliver

Hello, I am running kubuntu-kde3.5 karmic, downloaded from the pearson site. I would like to upgrade using the Update Manager to the latest release but when I try to do this, it fails with a message about kde3 being in a blacklist. Please can you tell me how to do such an upgrade? Kind regards, Peter Cardoe.

30 Aug '10

Hi I just got an Acer notebook 5334-2598, it has a boardcom wireless device, in mandriva the module is "wl", I was unable to find any native driver. I tried the usual routes of firmware cutter etc, and while the wl module loaded with modprobe, and the device was seen as eth1, it still didn't connect. Is there a how to, so I can compare notes? Thanks in advance to all... Kate

22 Aug '10

I am running Kubuntu Lucid. I added "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kde3- maintainers/ppa/ubuntu lucid main" to my sources, updated and ran "apt- get install kubuntu-desktop-kde3". However, it would not install: kdelibs4c2a-kde3: Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (> 4:3.5.12) but it is not going to be installed Depends: kdelibs-data-kde3 (< 4:3.5.13) but it is not going to be installed So, I tried installing kdelibs-data-kde3 but, again, nogo: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/kdelibs-data-kde3_4%3a3.5.12-0ubuntu6+r1152788_all.deb (--unpack): trying to overwrite '/etc/kde3/ksslcalist', which is also in package kdelibs-data 4:3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2 Any advice appreciated.

If I remember correctly, SuSE always did this, therefore its sudo program would already have the correct paths in its RPATH variable. Kubuntu has also decided not to alter sudo in that manner just for the Trinity project, so I was forced to alter and recompile sudo if Trinity is to work properly under Kubuntu. Hope this helps!
