a couple of hours ago i tried the 1 click install of kde4.1 . something must be wrong with the 1 click, as I can not get a file manager window up in 4.1
There is a known problem with the repo servers. Was in another thread from a couple of hours ago. .
can't find a way to change the number of desktops
System Settings > Desktop > Multiple Desktops
or put a different background on one of the two existing ones,
Not included yet. Last I read it's planned for a future release.
All is well with my system when I switch to kde 3.5.
KDE3.5 was not a ground up re-write to QT4... KDE4 was. Give it a chance. "Missing" features are coming back all the time.
kde 4.1 has gone up in numbers from 4.0, yet it seems so un-prepared for basic functionality.
Works fine here - I use KDE4.1 every day all day long as my regular home user desktop, and now as my home work desktop Things are different, but there is no core fundamental functionality thst is missing that makes KDE unusable. It's, in my opinion, a lot more usable than any version of Gnome I use (I use Gnome on my 2nd home computer, and on my work computer in the office). Basic functionality? What is basic functionality? The fact you cannot yet set a different wallpaper on desktop two is not that critical... definitely not a make-or-break for functionality. The main thing I can see that is broken is how the desktop works.. in that you cannot yet use the Desktop as a temp storage bucket for random files. The KDE guys are planning a fix, and from what i understand we can expect it to be working around 4.2.
kde 4.1 can *not* be that inadequate, yet the inability to properly install is itself a major flaw...
So... do it "right" (or different depending on how you look at it) and add the KDE Factory and Community repos to YaST and update to 4.1 there. Of course you'll have to wait until the repo servers are fixed :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
