(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

If you want to try the KDE4 desktop, you can:

a) Change to it with the window manager (Desktop->desktop settings->WM switcher)

b) Just run it on top of you current window manager by typing "startkde" into a console (Probably good if you just want to have a quick peek at what it's like)

c) Log in through kdm. This is done by exiting X and then typing in "kdm" into the prompt. This will allow KDE to run the way it was designed to, but it requires you to add a non root user. I had trouble with this because I'm not familiar with non root user procedures (having been a puppian all my Linux life) .

Ok , none of this seems to work...

Hi Jason,

Have you checked to see if the SFS you downloaded has the correct MD5sum? It should be: de23f44e93f734fa84eb2a98745c6cac

Are you running a frugal or full installation and are you running Lucid 528?

What is the message that displays after typing "startkde" into a console?

lucid 528

full

sum checks out..


and ... "command not found" or something of the like..

Thanks for coming back with the requested info.

Hmmm ok, full installation, that tends to complicate things. How did you install the the SFS?

Did you use quickpet on the desktop, then the "SFS" menu at the top and then "Sfs_grabber" to install the pet or another method?

no , i just double clicked it...

didn't know if that wasn't the right way...

Ah yes, well that will be it. SFSs on full installations are a bit more complicated, but certainly doable.

Try following these steps:

1. Go to "quickpet" on the desktop.

2. Then to the "SFS" menu at the top and click "Sfs_grabber".

3. Drag the KDE4.sfs to the entry box, and it should install.

Let me know how it goes.

si lo estuve viendo , mi amigo dealora lo publico.

Thank you very much for you both, josejp and battleshooter!

I is a great work because the KDE4 is really fast !

and the beautiful dog pictures on the desktop (my wife did register them !)

I did only look so that she did understand it is completely normal and the most important matter are the lovely puppy's ...

Thanks oui, appreciate the positive feedback. Hope you get an answer for your questions on the KDE forum. I've always intended to try and sort out the "Lost and Found" issue, but have never had the time to really work on it.

oui, ami all the programs you install the passes I lost, but I accommodated manually.
drag the program to your location. leave some cap and get shut down and restart on the panel and chrome coocle online.
excuse my English I'm using google translator.


battleshooter every time I'm more happy with your sfs, I am finding many things that can be improved

oui , ami todos los programas que instale me los pasa a objetos perdidos, pero yo los acomodo manualmente.
arrastro el programa a su ubicacion. dejo unas cap como pongo apagar y reiniciar en el panel y coocle chrome en internet.
disculpen mi ingles estoy usando traductor de google.

battleshooter cada ves estoy mas contento con tu sfs, estoy encontrando muchas cosas que se pueden mejorar.

I think he means this:

Sorry for my English, I'm using Google Translate.

battleshooter I'm happier and happier with your SFS, I'm finding one or two things that can be improved.

OK, I didn't understand the 'leave some cap' part but basically this is what he's trying to say.

Haha, thanks vicmz, it's times like this I really wish I spoke Spanish and French

@josejp2424 I'll do what I can into fixing these problems, but I only have the weekends and sometime not even that as the semester goes on. Hopefully though, I can find some time and find some fixes and then upload a new shiny new KDE4 sfs with all the fixes.

If you log in with KDM shutdown works fine. Can't remember if I fixed up the config file to shutdown correctly. It's been awhile since I've used KDE4.

I'm interested in your SFS new version because of this :

Now phonon has a backend so Juk works and there is KDE notification sounds.

Does it fix problem sound in KDE when i use a computer and used on another computer?

thx
