1.) How can I start KDE ?
|
|
|
|
a.) - the easy way -
|
|
|
|
vi ~/.xinitrc
|
|
---------snip---------
|
|
exec startkde
|
|
---------snap---------
|
|
|
|
b.) - the best way KDM -
|
|
|
|
vi /etc/X11/xdm/Xsession
|
|
---------snip---------
|
|
...
|
|
case $# in
|
|
1)
|
|
case $1 in
|
|
failsafe)
|
|
exec xterm -geometry 80x24-0-0
|
|
;;
|
|
kde)
|
|
exec /usr/bin/startkde
|
|
;;
|
|
esac
|
|
....
|
|
---------snap---------
|
|
^ add the Xsession "kde"
|
|
|
|
root@host:# /etc/rc.d/kdm start
|
|
|
|
2.) Other XServers can't connect to my xdm/kdm, help !
|
|
|
|
You must enable xdmcp !
|
|
|
|
vi /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
|
|
--> look for:
|
|
DisplayManager.requestPort: 0
|
|
--> replace with:
|
|
DisplayManager.requestPort: 177
|
|
|
|
- or - simply comment it out ;-)
|
|
|
|
If you don't like kdm choose xdm.
|
|
For xdm, you should add your authorized hosts in /etc/X11/xdm/Xaccess.
|
|
Test with 'X :1 -query localhost' or 'Xnest :1 -query localhost'
|
|
|
|
3.) Why are there so many libraries ??
|
|
|
|
You don't need to install/compile all of them.. but some nice functions
|
|
won't run without.
|
|
|
|
4.) My audio skips!
|
|
|
|
To enable real-time audio, you can use artswrapper
|
|
as root, "chmod u+s /usr/bin/artswrapper"
|
|
|
|
5.) Konqueror doesn't resume a partially-transfered file when using
|
|
sftp://hostname.
|
|
|
|
Periodically, updating either openssl and openssh breaks the sftp://
|
|
KIO-Slave. The fix is to recompile and update openssh, and then do the
|
|
same for kdelibs.
|
|
|
|
6.) Can I easily omit particular applications during the install ?
|
|
|
|
Yes you can, I got a mail from Patrick Yavitz which explains the needed
|
|
steps:

Here is an example, of how I removed unwanted applications from the
|
|
kdenetwork package.
|
|
|
|
build () {
|
|
cd $name-$version
|
|
DO_NOT_COMPILE="kit knewsticker kppp ksirc ktalkd wifi" \
|
|
./configure --prefix=/usr \
|
|
--with-xinerama \
|
|
--disable-debug \
|
|
--disable-dependency-tracking \
|
|
--enable-final
|
|
make
|
|
make DESTDIR=$PKG install
|
|
rm -rf $PKG/usr/share/doc
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
[..]
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately there is a draw back to this, some applications depend on
|
|
others, so removing one and not the other can cause errors during
|
|
compile time. For example when I included librss for removal the install
|
|
hit an error...

7.) Why should I use KDE ? KDE isn't lightweight !
|
|
|
|
Hey ! It's your turn. In my opinion KDE is a nice desktop/wm.
