I just used YAST2 to install KDE4. According to en.opensuse.org/KDE4 'The KDE4 package install into the /usr prefix hence KDE3 and KDE4 can be installed at the same time.' After the installation process was finished there were no /usr prefix subdirectories. The only KDE4 specific s/d's I can find are /usr/lib/kde4 and /usr/share/kde4. Although perhaps I have missed some. My question is how do I start KDE4? Happily, startx at the command prompt still starts KDE3.5 so I haven't hosed my desktop. Any assistance will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Does it mean that while GNOME is moving to /usr for 10.3, KDE won't move to /usr until KDE4 becomes the default? ps for KDE4, substitute /opt/kde for /usr, so /opt/kde/bin -> /usr/bin, etc. There won't be many directories with 'kde' in their names. -- Michel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

KDE 4 apps are in /usr/bin. Look at the file list for kde 4 packages in yast, or use 'rpm -qa | grep kde' and then 'rpm -ql <packagename>'.

Correct - it's in the 10.3 release notes. No need to take work away from KDE 4 by moving KDE 3 around..
ps for KDE4, substitute /opt/kde for /usr, so /opt/kde/bin -> /usr/bin, etc. There won't be many directories with 'kde' in their names.
/opt/kde3 you meant :). HTH Will -- Desktop Engineer KDE Team -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
