Drop me KDE questions, and features/packages you will like to see, support questions are also welcome
if they are KDE related.
Cheers
Chris Fernandez
KLaptop is the most important feature I can think of, as well as, support for the ACPI tools.
KLaptop is included. System settings --> Hardware --> Laptops & Power.

Thanks env9860 for the clarification.
basically everything that is suported under kubuntu is suported here, remember that basically what I did is modify names, images and add the packages we did modifications to..
and remove the old ones.. none part of the core KDE.
I'd like to see kwlan and wpa_supplicant (both GPLed, but there might be dependencies on driver blobs I'm not aware of), so I can easily move my laptop to gNewSense-Kde without loosing WLAN securtity in the process :-)
How do I install KDE on GNS 2.0? Do I just do sudo apt-get install kde? Or is there something else I need to do too (before or after)? I switched to GNS from Gentoo, so I'm not really that familiar with what apt-get is or how it works. I'm not a programmer either. (I can write *simple* bash scripts but not much else.) What do I do?
Is a gnewsense-kde metapackage planned for deltah?
@cogburnd02 - Just run sudo apt-get install kde to install a full KDE 3 desktop. If you want just a basic KDE install run sudo apt-get install kde-base.
kde and kde-base AFAIK are meta-packages, that is packages which are empty but depend on the relevant packages for KDE.
I've done sudo apt-get install kde but when my box boots, I get GNOME with all the nice KDE programs installed. How do I boot to KDE with all the nice KDE programs? Do I manually edit some obscure text file, or is there some way to do this automagically? :-D Thanks.
you must choose kde session on login screen
Oh. I see that now. Thanks. :-D
So- I should make KDE Session my Default, not the XClient Session?
@cogburnd02 - It's up to you whether you want KDE, Gnome, or some other WM to be the default. If you want to have KDE as default WM chose the KDE option.
You may also want to run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm" on the command line which will allow you to choose whether gdm or kdm should start on boot as the login manager.
I have KDE 4.1 installed under gNS. I used an Ubuntu repo because I didn't want to adventure myself in compiling it. But since libgl1-mesa-dri and libgl1-mesa-glx got removed, I can't start a session under this desktop manager.
Will I need to recompile part of KDE 4.1 without glx support?
