I was just wondering how users are working with KDE1 and KDE2. Do you have both running and use both? Are most working with KDE2 only? Is KDE2 mature enough to replace all funcationality of KDE1? I suppose the next version will only have kDE2 support Nev
I was just wondering how users are working with KDE1 and KDE2.
Do you have both running and use both?
Since I got KDE2, I removed KDE1 and things are smooth now. I only use KDE2 now.
Are most working with KDE2 only?
Is KDE2 mature enough to replace all funcationality of KDE1?
I personally think so, it's stable and good looking.

Did you remove KDE1 first and then install KDE2, and did you install it with rpm commands? I'll have to get the latest downloads before I try this. Do you have to delete all the other KDE type (anything starting with a K kind of) programs before installing KDE2. Any pointers would be greatfully received. Nev

The RPM system is really neat. I installed KDE2 first using the RPMS. Afterards I removed KDE1 using YAST. Make sure u get all RPMS, dont know them all right now, but it's needed for KDE2 to install.

Not at all, all taken care of by RPM.
I have done this a number of times over the weekend on a couple different machines. The best way I found to do it is either: A) remove all KDE1 packages except for: kbase, klibs & ksupp B) remove all packages then reinstall: kbase, klibs & ksupp followed by all of KDE2 that you feel you need. When I tried to also remove the above three packages then install KDE2, X failed miserably and would only launch a grey screen with a single term window, typing exit would exit it back to KDM, but even that was jacked up. The above is what I found worked the best. I would also recommend adding the following /opt/kde2/bin to your path section of your /etc/profile, /etc/profile.local or your personal ~/.profile file(s) so that things run a little cleaner when trying to access programs. Anyway, hope everything goes as well as it did for me once I did the above. KDE2 is running fine on all my computers as well as my parents computer. -- S.Toms - tomas@primenet.com - www.primenet.com/~tomas SuSE Linux v7.0+ - Kernel 2.2.17 But soft you, the fair Ophelia: Ope not thy ponderous and marble jaws, But get thee to a nunnery -- go! -- Mark "The Bard" Twain ----- Original Message ----- From: "Neville Cobb" <nevcobb@bigpond.com> Cc: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2001 2:56 PM Subject: Re: General Question on kDE Usage

Hi Nev I for one did not remove KDE1. I just installed KDE2 from a CD form the Linuk Magazine using YAST. Ajay

I am running KDE2 only and love it! For me it has been VERY stable.

Intially, there were/are some KDE programs that ran only under KDE1, or a mix of both. That is rapidly disappearing now. JLK -- Scientific theories, according to Sir Karl Popper, can be "falsified," or proven wrong, by experiment. Unscientific theories -Marxist dialectical history and Freudian psychology were Popper's favorites- are formed in such a way that they cannot be falsified by data.

The initial SuSE release of KDE 2.0, which included that *.sh to install. BUT, before I installed it I used rpm to remove all KDE1 software, and I also removed qt-1.45. Then I dl'd QtFree-2.2.0 and compiled it (easy to do, don't forget to add switches to include all the graphics!). THEN, I ran the SuSE KDE2.0 install script. Worked like a champ. Konqueror is great! Kmail and KNews work beautifully. Quanta+ is superbe! I lost a few apps, my favorites being KDevelop and BibleTime. QCad fonts don't show up.... But these are only temporary problems. They will be fixed long before W2K is as stable as their PR claims.

hi nev, i'm using solely kde2 and it fit my needs perfectly. i have almost no trouble in my day-to-day work, and i rarely use kde1 apps (only kdevelop for now). greets, chris On Dienstag, 9. Januar 2001 23:29, you wrote:

I have just installed FDE2. KDE1 is still there, just in case I am having so problems with KDE2 then I will switch. I will be uninstalling KDE1 after sometime.

Playing with KDE2 mostly right now.

Can't answer that one right now but the look and fell of KDE2 is better. KDE2 seems a bit slow though.
