Dear all,
It seems a lot of people have been having problems after upgrading their SuSE 8.0 to KDE 3.0.2. I would like to comment on these briefly, since I am thinking of wrting a serious compliant letter to SuSE and I would like to hear your opinion.
I upgraded using rpm -Fvh. No problems to report, kde 3.02 is very beautiful, though I did have problems starting YaST2 in graphical mode a while ago (when first upgrading to 3.0.1) until some whizz spotted that you needed the up-to-date qt-non-mt rpm. Other people have dealt with your 'STUPIDMODE' problem, it's unrelated to kde. Yes, we all (to a greater or lesser degree) have relied on this list. Using unix means using usenet, that's a feature, not a bug. Linux is a cooperative movement as well as an OS. Don't waste your time or SuSE's writing a letter of complaint. They're doing their best, and they're doing it well. If stability is your primary concern, you'd be better off not knocking the rock, or only undertaking the security updates, though I've had no stability problems with 8.0. SuSE are major contributors to the KDE project, and that project has come on in leaps and bounds in the last few years. Enjoy the fact that you've fixed your problems and enjoy your computing, leave the litigious approach in its box. Your summary of solutions is a nice idea though. Best Fergus
