install report: from 8.04 to 9.10
by Dexter Filmore 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Tried upgrading directly from 8.04. Bah ha hah ha. Left me with a dead system. Good thing I backed up 8.04 beforehand. New approach: Install Ubuntu 9.10 freshly, thus bypassing kde4 entirely, then add Pearson repos. Initial 9.10 without kde fine so far. After installing kde3 all of a sudden terminal input became sluggish. after a keypress it took up to 5 seconds before something happened. Not rebooted yet. Copied old .kde from other partition to .kde3. After reboot: keyboard problem stays, DVB-T via Terratec Cinergy T2 not working. Google. Problem with that Cinergy. Plucked it, keyboard returns to normal. So this is NOT a kde3 problem, seems this just rolled in with another upgrade. Yeah well, now that Shuttleworth said he's had it *buntu will be going downhill I guess... Back on topic. KDE won't even start. /home/dexter now belongs to root:root for reasons beyond me - *that* now seems to be a kde3 thing indeed. Fixed permissions manually. Kopete lost theme settings. Minor casualty. KMail works, no german i18n tho, GPG tested partially, seems to work (hope this still stands when I press the send key....), filters work. Manually added KNewsTicker (one of the main reasons apart from that bloody Phonon thingy why I don't want to switch to KDE4) Konqueror: no Baghira! I can bear with the theme, actually don't use it anymore, but the Baghira sidebar in Konq is one of the more useful additions. I want that back! Help! Gonna reboot now and see if that recompiled v4l drivers do any good to the Cinergy problem. -- -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.12 GCS d--(+)@ s-:+ a C++++ UL++ P+>++ L+++>++++ E-- W++ N o?

Can't compile for KDE
by Luca S. 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi, I'm trying to compile Gwenview (but this also happened while trying to compile other programs) and when launching ./configure I get this error: checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix! The command "kde-config --prefix" outputs "/opt/kde3", so I've also tried with: ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3 but the error came out the same. I've installed: kdelibs4-kde3-dev kdebase-kde3-dev and other dev packages but still I get the error. Any suggestions? Thanks Luca

K3b charset error
by Luca S. 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

Hi! When I launch K3b, I get this error: "System locale charset is ANSI_X3.4-1968 Your system's locale charset (i.e. the charset used to encode filenames) is set to ANSI_X3.4-1968. It is highly unlikely that this has been done intentionally. Most likely the locale is not set at all. An invalid setting will result in problems when creating data projects. Solution: To properly set the locale charset make sure the LC_* environment variables are set. Normally the distribution setup tools take care of this." The following is my 'locale' output: LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="it_IT.UTF-8" LC_ALL=it_IT.UTF-8 So what's K3b blabbing about? I tried googling about the problem but couldn't solve... :-( Thanks Luca

problem with kde-3.5 desktop
by James D. Freels 07 Dec '09

07 Dec '09

I am using kde-3.5 from this PPA on karmic/koala (9.10) for amd64. I upgraded from jaunty (9.04). I also have a i386 laptop and i386 desktop with this same error. There were lots of problems with the upgrade, including some in the kde-3.5 area. However, most of my problems have been resolved one way or another. However, I have a nagging problem that I cannot seem to resolve. I have 3 separate machines all with this same problem. when kde3.5 starts up, an error message box comes up with a traceback (attached is an example). The desktop is not configurable, but I can use all my virtual desktops and the panel otherwise. I cannot set a screensaver, background, or any response from the right click on the desktop screen. How can I fix this problem ? I have already removed all the kde4 packages that I can from my system (at least that I am aware of).

dkpg: command not found
by Luca S. 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

Hi, I've installed Jaunty with KDE3.5 and I'm encountering the following problem. Even though dpkg is installed (if I launch 'dpkg' in the konsole I get the help text), when I try to use the command to install a package ('dpkg -i packagename.deb') I get the following error: bash: dkpg: command not found This happens both with or without sudo before the command, so it's not a problem of permissions. 'locate dpkg' outputs '/usr/bin/dpkg' but even if I launch '/usr/bin/dpkg -i packagename.deb' I get the same error! Any suggestions? Thanks Luca

problem with kmail
by Jon Shorie 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

I am running kubuntu-kde3.5 version 9.10 amd64. Whenever I try to send an email using konqueror 1.9.10 using KDE 3.5.10, kmail crashes when I click the send button. I have tried to switch it to using the send later instead of the send now, but it still crashes. If I go back into kmail and right click on the message in my outbox, I can click send queued messages and it goes through. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions. -- Jonathan R.
