Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
qt3.5's in testing. I don't see a reason why opera shouldn't work with it. Well, anyway here it does. Just like the rest ;-) I am yet to find any problems.
Thanks, tpowa.

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
first problem. I get this when attempting to run kcontrol:
kcontrol: /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.1' not found (required by /opt/kde/lib/libkhtml.so.4)And a question: Will Opera be working with the qt?
No problem here

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
hmm... obviously I should. After an upgrade, kcontrol runs. But will the gcc upgrade break other stuff, is the question now...

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
Yes - the same as with 3.4.2, you ought to sync your system to testing (at least gcc4/binutils/glibc, possibly other packages as well), else you'd run into problems.
-edit-
I'm on testing since eons and got no problems. Currently, it's pretty cumbersome to run system with packages partially from testing and current, because of gcc4 move and libtool-slay. So, I'd suggest you just to update whatever is possible ;-)

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
OK; I guess I should do that. But last time I tried to sync to testing I remember having some problems (unmet dependencies? don't really remember what exactly it was)...

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
sorry guys to make it now clear TESTING is needed and you need all packages from it.
Please don't mix packages if you are not sure what they are doing.
thanks

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
Running nicely here as well. But the only thing I have from testing so far is gcc and I haven't encountered anything strange.

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
I don't know about you people but I miss Kicker's border. So I took an old screenshot and extracted the kicker pixmap from it.

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
At last akode is included..........
mutlthreaded sound now works fully in kde... 
(i know you could disable arts and let alsa do it's thing but then kde apps
e.g kopete would not behave properly now I have the best of both worlds!!!)
only glitch so far and a very minor one at that is when downloading extra superkaramba themes or amarok themes once the new theme is installed it freezes then have to close the window and then reopen to add more, but as i said it is a very minor thing

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
Sadly, on my box kdeaddons makes konqueror crash. Fishy thing, I'd say. It seemed to work on clean account, but I'm not 100% sure anymore ;-)

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
A couple of things that I noticed right off are:
1. I cant compile Kmymoney2. I get a couple of header files missing after a ./configure. I have tried the same version on 3.4 and it workes fine.
2. Copying files in Konqueror over a network slowes to a crawl if I have more than 1 copy going at once.
I tested with freash installed of the whole system using 3.4 and then reloaded the entire system and went with 3.5.
Anyone seeing this as well?
I have sent the Kmymoney2 devs a bug report on this BTW.
Thanks!!!
Joe

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
lucke, try it with a new user, it could be that config stuff is disturbing.
thanks

Yeah, probably config stuff, it seems to work with a new user.

Re: KDE 3.5 [extra]
It all went pretty smoothly, and it has some nice new touches. The only problem so far is that konq doesnt work when accessing web pages:
An error occurred while loading http://www.archlinux.org:
Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
