Listmates,

Before I regret it, has anybody had any bad experience with an update to KDE
3.5.10. I seem to recall a week or so ago, there was a complaint about 3.5.10,
but there was very little follow up. That leads me to believe all is safe. But
getting older, I have learned to look before I leap. So anybody have any
information on the update?

No problem so far.

Fred


Thanks Fred:

To all KDE 3.5 users, KDE 3.5.10 installs and works like a dream. Compiz works
like a champ on it. The following repositories were added:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE3/openSUSE_11.0/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Community/ openSUSE_11.0/
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Backports/ openSUSE_11.0/

Updated via yast by "Search" kde, then package -> All packages in list ->
update if newer version available,

580M later KDE 3.5.10 was running perfectly (the download size is much less
than the install size, probably ~200M. It was a 28 minute download with a 1M
down connection. (cheap ass U.S. broadband providers... you guys across the
pond with 20M connections have it goooood!)

David: 1M down no longer qualifies as broadband.

Also I pretty much lost the use of my bluetooth mouse under 3.5.10.

The whole Bluetooth stack is in disaray and pairing under KDE is broken.

Similar reports from other distros so I am about to abandon Bluetooth mice for a while.
