Does anyone have a "cheat" sheet that tells us how to do this?
use kd3?
any kde4 app run under kde3 (with it's libraries, of course)
it's what I do
Don't install the full KDE4.x tho, just individual packages. If you install the desktop for KDE4.x that takes over your KDE3.5 desktop so that doesn't work,as it did before you made that 4.x install . Even thought they are supposed to work independently, on my boxen it has proved not to do so Even leaving me w/ a basically unusable 3.5 desktop. For instance KScreensaver disappeared, and tho the files are on the disk, they only show in the 4.x desktop. I even reinstalled the packages for KDE3.5 but they still do not appear, even tho the daemon is still running. I can do email(Kmail) listen to music w/ xmms ( sometimes it's "ify") and sometimes but not always web surf w/ Firefox and or Konqi . W/ teh 4,x desktop I can websurf w/ firefox and use teh KDe3.5 version of Kmail. I can sometimes listend to music w/ Xmms. After that what I can do depends , it would seem , on the *mood* ofan inanimate object ( the computer.) It sometimes does't want to do the Production or Post on video clips. Or currently, converting a program from Flash to Mpeg so It can play on a normal a dvd player connected to a tv set. That is the sort of thing I was doing routinely in the original version of 3.5 . This 11.1 install was the 1st time I installed 4.2 because it was said it would install separately and run side by side w/ o either desktop taking over . It was just going to be another desktop to try, play around w/ and get used to as it is going to be the next version. But it hasn't worked the same way as other desktop installs, Blackbox , for instance never ever did anything that would interfere w/ my going into my kde desktop and using it as before, The KDE desktop was the same. As if they didn't even know the other (Desktop) system was there. Yet now the system updater tool on the kicker frequently installs the kde4 items even when it is in the 3.2 desktop. I don't recall these diffuculty going to the kde3.5 version, nor even when we did the first KDE3 items. Must be Oldtimers. Beware installing the KDe4 desktop unless you are ready for the jump. -- j -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
