Yeah, the Plasma desktop in KDE4 is a bit awkward until you get used to it. And Autohiding the KDE4 panel doesn't work in LHP 4.43. (See ***Bugs and quirks*** at the end of the first post.

From LHP-LookNFeel-KDE (3rd icon from right in Wbar) you can always select item 7 Restore KDE Menus, icons and desktop to LHP defaults at any time in KDE.

If you lose the panel just right-click on the desktop | Unlock widgets & right-click | Add Panel.

If you want the default KDE w/ no LHP tweaks (and no freememapp or blinky), just delete /root/.kde and restart X.

I don't know when KDE4.4 for LHP 5 will be ready. I'm working on a problem with kernel panics after copy-to-ram and Xorg/KMS display bugs in the base ISO. What KDE I've cobbled together was crashing every 3 hrs and still not sure if I've figured that out. Have also had requests for ATI and nVidia proprietary drivers.

I think you'll find LHP 4.43 has fewer bugs than 5.00 Alpha anyway. I would only upgrade now if you need the newer kernel, Xorg or CUPS and don't need KDE yet.

Thank you tazoc.
I'll watch the 5.00 thread.

Find packages in a snap and install using Puppy Package Manager (Menu).

#680 Post by its-me-again »

Hi its-me-again,
The file setup960.exe has been removed or moved? and replaced with an updated version.

Code: Select all

wget -nd -c --read-timeout=300 --retry-connrefused --header Accept-Encoding: gzip,deflate http://www.e-sword.net/files/setup971.exe
I'll see if the new version will work and hopefully post a workaround at http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 642#421642
