Denns side med ofte stillede spørgsmål (FAQ) er blevet samlet fra spørgsmål på IRC-kanalen #kde. Listen er ikke fuldstændig, og kan vokse.

Hvad med KDE 3

Vil KDE 3 blive afskaffet?

Nej. Der er ikke planlagt nogen slutdato for KDE 3. Den vil fortsætte med at eksistere lige så længe som der er nogen, der bruger den. Der er dog ingen garanti for fejlretninger og vedligeholdelse af KDE 3.5 ud over, hvad din distributør giver - evt. under en supportaftale. Videre udvikling er ikke planlagt.

Er det nødvendigt at opgradere til KDE 4?

KDE 3 vil være i brug længe endnu. Om du bliver nødt til at opgradere vil mest afhænge af din distribution. Søg venligst yderligere information hos din distribution. Generelt vil "enterprise"-distrinutioner (som prioriterer stabilitet over de nyeste applikationer) bruge KDE 3.5. Eksempler på sådanne distributioner er CentOS, WhiteBox og Scientific Linux. Slutbrugerdistributioner bruger nu sædvanligvis 4.4 eller 4.5.

Kan jeg få hjælp til at vænne mig til KDE 4?

Ja da. UserBase kan hjælpe dig. Nogle sider, som kan hjælpe dig i gang er Find din applikation, som omhandler applikationer, der har skiftet navn eller placering og Almindelige opgaver, som forsøger at få dig godt i gang hurtigt.

Glem ikke, at du kan bruge søgelinjen til at finde andre sider relateret til ethvert problem, som du støder på; og klikker du på linket Kategorier:Kom i gang/da nederst på siden, så finder du andre nyttige sider.

Vil jeg stadig kunne bruge KDE 3 eller KDE 3 applikationer?

Ja, du vil stadig kunne bruge KDE 3 eller KDE 3 applikationer, når blot de pakker, som KDE 3 afhænger af er installeret. I takt med at overgangen til KDE 4 software skrider frem vil nogle af disse afhængigheder nok komme til at mangle. I stedet vil de fleste applikationer blive opdaterede til udgaver, som kan køre med de nye afhængigheder eller der vil blive skrevet nye pakker til at erstatte dem.

Opsætningen af KDE 4 og KDE afhænger af din distribution. Søg venligst yderligere information hos din distribution. Nogle distributioner lader dig installere både KDE 3 og KDE 4 SC på det samme system. Det er dog blevet mindre udbredt efter udgivelsen af KDE 4.3.

Generelle teknikker til fejlfinding

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.

Some Common Questions

Helping the KDE Community

How can I help in development? Do I need to learn how to code?

There are many ways to help the KDE community, not only through programming. There are other areas of contribution that need talent of other kinds. All that's necessary is the desire to help and some commitment. Of course, if you want learn how to program in order contribute, we will be more than willing to get you started as well.

Some other ways to help include

  • End-user support - if you are experienced, consider joining a mailing list or the Forum to help support newer users.
  • 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.
