Re: Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" KDE RC1 released!
I recently installed Pardus on my laptop and I was amazed at Kaptan, an application that shows up on your first boot and helps you configure your system. I was wondering if maybe mint could include a tool like this one. Kaptan allows you to configure things like right-handed or left-handed mouse, theme, what launcher to use (kick-off, lancelot or classic), network connection, wallpaper and other things you would usually configure yourself after an install. A tool like this would take mint to a higher level of user friendliness and make setting it up much easier for new users. It seems to me that this is the only thing mint is missing to be a perfect os.

Kubuntu is crap. Mint is a top KDE distro IMO.violetta wrote:Hi, I am new around here and I registered just for asking (n00b) question...
Since I am looking for my new favorite distro and KDE4 in Ubuntu... well... sucks, and I really am a fan of DEB based distros I bumped to LinuxMint...
What I want to ask is... how different is KDE4 release in compare to Kubuntu or Debian testing... is it based on some of his packages or it has been built directly from KDE sources?
Kubuntu's KDE is fairly unusable... and Debian, because of it's policy of security and stability not always have newer versions...
I just think that LinuxMint KDE4 might be answer to my prays
The only real way for you to know is to try it.
Another possibility is Pardus, which I've been using for a few days and I really like it, but it's not Deb based.

Just because Gnome works good does not mean KDE will.violetta wrote:Heh.. yeah... I tried it... installed yesterday...markcynt wrote: Kubuntu is crap. Mint is a top KDE distro IMO.

Since this morning I had 2-3 hangups... screen goes black or computer became unresponsive...
(both with and w/o composite enabled)
Only cold reset do a job...
On X.org.log.old nothing to give a clue what happend...
It is not hardware issue, I had used Ubuntu jaunty with Gnome without ANY problems.
Anyway... I notice something...
howcome Kubuntu is crap and Mint's KDE is so good when I have same packages as in Kubuntu jaunty from PPA repo?
KDE needs better hardware. Mint KDE runs flawlessly on my computer with everything enabled.
So maybe you need better hardware to run KDE.
Re: Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" KDE RC1 released!
The Mint KDE is from a kubuntu ppa repo so it is kubuntu but just a more updated version than the kubuntu standard update repo.
debian would have an older version of KDE for stability reasons, but they all come from the same source KDE files.
In Mint KDE we add more packages than kubuntu since we are not limiting ourselves to a CD.

Re: Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" KDE RC1 released!
Gee thanks, we will definitely use that for our next release.i just happen to hate kde. I find it slow and ugly
Gloria KDE final versus RC1
I just happen to love KDE!
Actually one regression in Gloria-KDE: Printing to PDF is an issue ONLY IN THE KDE VERSION of Gloria.
In both other main Gloria Versions (XFCE, Gnome), Printing to PDF works just fine.
I actually tried to throw out and reconfigure cups-PDF printer.
This included the standard printer admin interface on http://localhost:631 - to no avail.
ONE PRAISE - and thankyou for the following:
I have NEVER seen Konqueror SOO multimedia capable as in Mint-KDE.
We all know Konqueror has its rendering issues (I believe mainly related to Javascript and friends).
BUT I could watch movies on SO many different sites (take CNN or NYtimes for example but many more)
as was NEVER possible before (and still IS not possible out of the Box in any other deb based distros including Kubuntu 9.04).
Thank You!
To me, Konqui seems the unwanted child in the KDE community: Many people use workarounds or replacements:
Dolphin and possibly Arora or Non-QT-Applications.
Konqueror was designed as a multifunctional tool - the "zeitgeist" may be against ist today -
but it still has its merits. Some like integrated multi-functional software tools.
Konqui IS very good software and we ought to keep it and nurture it!
Thank you again.
(and hoping, if possible, for a final Gloria-KDE release with working cups-PDF if possible)

Re: Linux Mint 7 "Gloria" KDE RC1 released!
As far as I know there won't be a 64bit edition of the LM 7 KDE CE. You can also run the 32bit on that machine of yours i guess. So why would you specific need a 64bit? I even run a 32bit on my 64bit laptop.xCs wrote:Question: Will it be a 64bit KDE version ? I like the Linux Mint Gloria KDE but I need a 64bit one .....

Memory as one important reason! More than 4GB RAM are not that unusual anymore.Mathius Quest wrote:As far as I know there won't be a 64bit edition of the LM 7 KDE CE.

There is a reason that there IS a 64bit-Version of Mint/Gnome. That one actually works nicely.
