Re: gnome+kde
Open package manager go to Settings/Repositories/Other Software Add Volume. It will ask you to insert your disk. I don't know what happens after that because I have never done it, but I assume it adds your kde install dvd as a source which is what you want.
From then the simplest way is to switch to a terminal and run
This will add the mass of packages that you need to use kde but it should take most of them from the dvd that you have added as a source.
At least that is my theory, I have never actually tried it. There doesn't appear to be a meta package for kde (at least I haven't got one in my synaptic) if there was you could do it all from the package manager. You could try installing kde-base but I am not sure that will give you everything you need.

Re: gnome+kde
The instructions were for within your current Linux Mint installation, not via LiveCD or LiveUSB.
Re: gnome+kde
Just boot your normal Linux Mint and follow viking777's instructions
Re: gnome+kde
Your first post makes it sound like you already have Linux Mint 10 Main Edition installed. Is this right?

Re: gnome+kde
@ vicke4: If I'm understanding things correctly you have Mint 10 (GNOME) installed on your hard drive? if so, from a terminal this command will install the full KDE (or, at least, that's how I did it in Mint 9):
You wouldn't need to use the KDE .iso for this. But that installs KDE from the Ubuntu repos, so it won't look quite like Mint KDE. As far as I know, you can't have both Mint's KDE and Mint's GNOME on the same installation, but someone can correct me if I'm wrong about that. Note:
Code: Select all
sudo apt-get install kde-full
However, I've been running KDE from a Mint 9 (GNOME) installation for some time now, and it's worked out fine.AlbertP wrote:Note that you will get the default KDE, and not Mintified KDE. There are some dependency problems with Mint KDE, it is not that easy to get a combined Gnome+KDE system.
Re: gnome+kde
Gnome and KDE themselves are fine, but the Mint 10 packages to make KDE look like Mint, have a dependency problem with Mint 10 Gnome: the Grub theme.

Re: gnome+kde
i don't want the kUbuntu kde.if i install kde via the terminal it will be like a kubuntu kde.i want the mint's official kde version.is there any chances?
Re: gnome+kde
Hm. I don't think so, I think it's like AlbertP said.vicke4 wrote:i don't want the kUbuntu kde.if i install kde via the terminal it will be like a kubuntu kde.i want the mint's official kde version.is there any chances?
Still, adding KDE to the main Mint as has been described turns out to be quite nice, in my opinion. You've still got the Mint tools and everything available, so it's not really like you're running Kubuntu.
Re: gnome+kde
You are not running Kubuntu if you do not add the Kubuntu repository. You are running plain KDE, just as it comes from the KDE developers, when installing kde-full.

Re: gnome+kde
You can install it as a seperate OS sharing an /home partition, but you cannot add an ISO to the login menu.
