KDE 3怎么办？

KDE 3 将会被抛弃?

不。KDE 3没有终结(end of life)计划.只要有人使用它，它会继续存在。但是除了你的厂商和可能的合约支持外没有KDE 3.5的bug修复和维护保证。也没有未来的后续开发计划。

有必要升级到 KDE 4 吗?

只有当你想要的时候。KDE 3会继续存在并一直用很久。但是是否你会不得不升级通常情况下依赖于你的发行版的设置。总体而言，企业级别的发行版（极度稳定，但程序版本都很老）会继续使用 KDE 3.5。如 CentOS，White Box 或 Scientific Linux。普通用户的发行版目前通常使用 4.4 甚至是 4.5。

哪能找到资料来协助我习惯 KDE4？

是的，确实需要。UserBase 可以帮你。入门的资料可以看找到应用程序了解变更名称或位置的应用程序，常规任务提高你的生产力效率。

也不要忘了你可以用搜索栏来查找其他与碰到问题有关的资料，点击底部的分类|入门/zh-cn查看其他页面。

我依旧能使用 KDE 3 或 KDE 3 程序吗?

是的，只要安装了必要的依赖你能继续使用KDE 3或者KDE 3程序。因为转换到了KDE 4软件进度（KDE 4 software progresses），其中某些依赖会丢失。但是，同时，大多数的应用程序或有了需要最新数据依赖的新版本，或类似的，新的软件包正在重写中。

KDE 4 和 KDE 如何安排取决于你的发行版。请与你的发行版联系获得更多信息。一些发行版本是允许 KDE 3 和 KDE SC 4 同时安装在同一个系统中。但自从 KDE 4.3 发布后，这样的情况已经很少见了。

常规故障排解技术

There are a few basic steps that can help in troubleshooting problems with KDE software. You should try these steps before asking on #kde or the kde general mailing list, since you'll probably be told to try them anyway .

• Try creating a new user and running your KDE software with that user. If the problem doesn't occur with the new user, there's probably a problem with a file in your .kde directory. You should then try:
  • Rename the file causing the problem. To find an appropriate file, look in .kde/share/apps/<application-name> or in .kde/share/config/<application-name>rc where <application-name> is the name of the application you are having problems with.
  • Log out, then log in afresh. New default files will replace your renamed ones.
• Clean out /tmp and /var/tmp. KDE stores some temporary files which can sometimes cause problems. You will need to be root to do this. You might also like to try removing the following files. Make sure you exit KDE first though! (The easiest safe way is to choose Failsafe at bootup.):
  • ~/.DCOPserver-* (on KDE3 systems there are usually two of these; one is a symlink to the other)
  • ~/.kde/socket-<hostname>
  • ~/.kde/tmp-<hostname> which is normally a symlink to the next file:
  • /tmp/tmp-kde-<USER>
  • ~/.kde/socket-<hostname> which is also normally a symlink to:
  • /tmp/ksocket-<USER>
• If you're running an old release from KDE, try updating to the latest version - many bugs are fixed with each new version, so your problem might already be fixed.
• Try searching the Bugzilla at http://bugs.kde.org . Many common problems have been reported and discussed there.
• If your problem is more general than just one KDE application (e.g., "sound stops working when I start my KDE desktop"), try starting X with a different window manager. Even if you haven't installed another WM, 'twm' will be available, as it ships by default with X.
  • If you start X with the 'startx' command, just put the appropriate command in the file .xinitrc in your home directory. (If it doesn't exist, create it)
  • If you start your desktop from kdm, this will not work.

If your problem is with sound in KDE software, you could try looking at Sound Problems

帮助 KDE 社区

我如何帮助 KDE 发展? 我需要学会如何编程吗?

有很多种帮助 KDE 社区的途径,不只是编程.还有其他领域需要其他各类人才做贡献。所有这一切必需的是帮助的愿望和一些热情。当然，如果你为了贡献而想学会编程的话，我们也会非常愿意帮你入门。

一些其他帮助的方式包括

• 最终用户支持 - 如果你富有经验，考虑下加入邮件列表或英文论坛中文论坛来帮助支持新用户。

• If you are able to help with translation as part of the official team, consult this list to find a contact point. If you would like to help with UserBase translation, use the sidebar link to get a translator account, then read the Tasks and Tools page.

• English documentation is also needed, and here on UserBase is a good place to start.
