I loaded up an embedded system with Debian recently. I was having
problems relating to the older kernel in Lenny, so I want ahead and
installed Squeeze. I got things working, but I was mortified with
KDE4, which installed with Squeeze. It's horrible. I mean really,
really bad. KDE3 wasn't exactly spectacular, but it was good enough.
This hunk of junk, though, is really quite unacceptable. Ignoring the
fact that Kpackage was just plain broken - which I assume will be fixed
before Squeeze goes gold
I have replaced kpackage with "gdebi-kde", gdebi lets you install local
deb packages resolving and installing its dependencies. apt does the
same, but only for remote (http, ftp) located packages.
I also use synaptic.
...is there a way to
get KDE4 to look and behave like KDE3?
I think the big difference is that kde4 is using dolphin for file
management and not konqueror, but you can setup konqueror to be used as
the filemanager just like it was in kde3, here's a little recipe I made
to give me both a "User Filemanager" and a "SuperUser Filemanager":
OK, you can get red and blue icons for the kde4 menu from here:
www.flickr.com/photos/23959...@n07/sets/72157622753407463/ I use the
classic menu, if you don't know you can right click on the start button
and change to the classic menu.
Right click on the menu start button and choose edit menu and click on
the System Folder, that's where we are going to add the new file
managers, first click New Item and Name it: "Konqueror - File Management
SuperUser" and click OK, for the Description use the same as the Name,
next is the Command: "konqueror -profile filemanagement", next click
Advanced and check the box Run as different user.
Now go back to the General tab and click to add the icon, browse to the
icon and select it.
Leave "Enable launch feedback" checked.
For the user just name it "Konqueror - File Management", the setup is
the same but you don't use the advanced tab, leave out the above quotes
and when you're done just click Save.
In konqueror you will need to set it up the way you like by using the
settings tab, configure konqueror, general, use common view properties
for all folders and then save you settings to filemanagement.
