Software :: Limited To KDE3 And Cannot Get The Latest Version Of Kopete?
Mar 1, 2010
A while back Yahoo changed their log on methods and Kopete, Pidgin, and several other 3rd party messengers had serious issues. Pidgin patched up no problem. Kopete has a newer version that fixes this but it requires KDE4 which is still classified as unstable. Since I do not want to make my machine SID and I want to keep it as Debian Lenny I am limited to KDE3 and can not get the latest version of Kopete. I have googled like mad and havn't found a patch for Kopete 0.12.7 to fix the yahoo login issue.
I'm running openSuSe 11.3 and KDE4.5, but the only version of KDirStat that I can find in the repos is dependent on the KDE3 libs. Is there a version available for KDE4.5? Or maybe something else equally as good (apart from running WinDirStat under Wine)
I've recently installed openSuse 11.4 64bit with KDE 4.6 and that's when the trouble started. If I put a data or mp3 cd in the drive it can be mounted. Simple audio cds refuse to mount, giving me only the option to play on one of the audio players. Since I wanted to move some music to the computer I've had to resort to windows to copy files then transfer them. How can I force KDE/Suse to behave the way I want or do I have to revert to an earlier version with KDE3.5? I suspected that System Settings/Removable Devices was where I needed to be but nothing I did worked. So then I tried playing with System Settings/Device Actions and again nothing seemed to work. I can't mount the CD manually,I get this (using su -c "mount etc"
I am using Nagios 3.2.4 monitoring tool on a Linux box with Fedora 10 installed on it and Apache version is 2.2.10. I would like to upgrade my Fedora version from 10 to latest version Fedora 13.
A month ago, my HP Mini 1035NR, with a Windows XP system died. Since then, it won't boot into Windows. I tried installing Ubuntu via a bootable USB with no luck. I have finally been able to create a working bootable USB running the Gnome version of Open Suse 11.3.
Aside from not picking up my ethernet connection to the Internet, my bigger issue is I can't install Open Suse from the USB. I get a message when I try to install that there may not be enough memory and it hangs at the section where you choose your time zone. I would like to install the latest version of Open Suse with KDE. Is there anything else I can do?
I downgraded from 11.04 to 10.10 due the problems, one thing I don't like is that Ubuntu dosen't give the latest updates of most software if the OS isn't the latest, such as LibreOffice, Firefox, WinFF etc. is there a way to get the updates to do that?
I'm so tired on how i can change the resolution of my suse 7.3 because i change my monitor into a wide flat screen.
but now i decided to upgrade my OS in to the latest version of suse but i don't have any idea on how to start because i have alot of files and important application in 7.3 i worried if i upgrade my OS it will erase my files and application. does anyone know to do it. i want to upgrade but i dont want to loose my files and application.
This morning gkrellm updated from 2.3.4-1 to 2.3.5-2 and now the CPU temperatures aren't displayed. I've rerun sensors-detect and restarted module-init-tools, but the temperatures still don't display. If I run sensors from a terminal, the CPU core temperatures are displayed correctly. Has anyone else seen this?
I'm on Debian stable, I want to know if I could continue on Debian stable but install the latest version of KDE (5.6.1) without moving to testing or unstable. I want to install KDE latest (5.6.1) without having to have all of my other installs to be potentially unstable.
I have just installed filezilla via yum and it has installed fine and is working great but it is an old version 3.2.4.1 and the latest version is 3.2.7.1 generally how long does it take for the updates to make it through to the repos
I am used to using ubuntu but i feel that fedora is alot easier to use out of the box. I was able to install veetle on ubuntu by opening terminal and typing su -c 'sh /home/kevinnicola/Downloads/veetle-0.9.17-linux-install.sh'. But it doesnt work on fedora. It says its intalled sucessfully. But every time i try to watch a veetle stream it says i havnt got the latest version of veetle. Has anyone else got this to work?
I am new to Fedora and having trouble installing the latest tar file from Mozilla. I am familiar with basic Linux commands and the message I received when after downloading the tar file and extracting it was error while loading shared libraries: /root/firefox/libxul.so: cannot restore segment prot after reloc: Permission denied. I do not have the latest version I tried to yum update and it did not work.
I attempted to install the latest version of Digikam, v1.6, by connecting the Factory repository , then an upgrade via YAST. It automagically included upgrade of certain kde4 packages to v2.5.80.
System ran OK for a while, then I got a Plasma Desktop Shell crash notice and now cannot restart X. I can boot to level 3. I upgraded all the kde components to 2.5.80, but that did not help.
Has anyone successfully done this? Was there a hidden secret to success?
If all else fails, am I correct that Code: zypper dist-upgrade --from #kde45 repository will return my system to kde 4.5.4 ?
I want to install latest version from DVD onto my second harddrive. I tried it myself yesterday but ended up with a bootloader I didn't want, and some alterations on my windows 7 disk. It took me a while to restore the windows bootloader and I don't want to do it again. how to proceed to install a fresh copy on opensuse/kde on my second harddrive without it touching my first (I can select bootdevice from bios function). Both are currently formatted as NTFS and the second (target) drive is empty.
I am using hostapd, wireless tools with madwifi for my wireless ap in my board. The WEP, WPA-PSK connections and communications between my board with linux and my desktop PC, Windows XP SP2 (with Olitec USB wireless) are fine. But when I configured the WPA type, the connection seems established but shows the status "TKIP - Key Absent" in the security dialog box. Anyone faced this problem? Am attaching the conf files and the connection status. In the AP side am complaining . I am using the in built radius server conf with the hostapd 0.4.7
From what I can see it looks like I need to install Samba before I can share files between my Ubuntu 9.10 and Win7. I went to samba.org and they report the latest version of Samba as 3.4.6. When I searched for Samba in the Ubuntu software center, they report the Samba version as Version: 1.2.63-0ubuntu4 (system-config-samba).
Version 1.2.63 seems really old. Am I missing something? How can I install the latest version of Samba?
I have 2.47 installed and I want to upgrade to the newest version 2.67 yet when I try to upgrade, I am being told that I have the latest version. Is 2.47 the latest version in debian?
I have no clue how to get to the latest version of Rhythmbox. All my songs have the cover art embedded in the ID3 tags and the .12.6 reads these, but I have .12.5. .7 is actually out now but I have no clue how to upgrade my Rhythmbox. Apt upgrade didn't do anything of course nor doing it through the GUI.
Twice now I have received update notices informing me of header upgrades which I installed, both required a restart of the system. Usually when this happens there is an additional item in the grub menu. The last two times this has happened I didn't get an additional menu item. What is the latest stable version? I am currently running:
2.6.32-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 20 14:21:58 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I did try a "sudo update-grub2" and the menu didn't change.
I run Ubuntu 8.04 on my Sony laptop and Firefox 3.6.13 and have installed via synaptic Flash 10.1.102.65-2 but Firefox uses Flash version 9. How come? By the way this is on a fresh reinstall of both Firefox and Flash and a newly created profile.
