Hello !

Peebee contacted me ( Thanks Peebee ), I'm sorry for this late reply, and this incidence.
This error is not a technical error from e-nautia, but a human fault, mine.
In fact, I deleted directories, and inadvertently, those containing packages. Sad

I'll upload them soon, thank you for your patience!

I am like computers, after cloud computing, this is the head in the cloud...

Eyes-Only

LOL jejy!

That's okie mon chum! Hey... we ALL are allowed a FEW mistakes here and there after all, right? Just make sure that you don't use up your quota of "free passes" before 2014 arrives and you are all clear! LOL!! Wink

In all seriousness however, I simply am at awe to see how you are able to accomplish everything that you do, what with the job that you have, your studies at the university, a little thing called "life"... and then working on Linux too?

I only wished I could achieve one-fourth of your daily accomplisments in the time-span of a year! I would feel very satisfied then as to have lived a "very sucessfull life" I believe. Cool

Cheers/Amicalement Mon Bon Chum!

KDE / MATE / XFCE are back for Slacko only for now.

Cordially.

Hi Jerome,

I read you lost the kde.4.10.sfs package in a crash disk, and the sourceforge repository for precise is indeed empty... Do you have plans for building it again soon ? I think it will be of great benefit to many people Smile

(please please please)

Many thanks for your hard work, it's much appreciated !

Best regards

I hope he will rebuild it! I saw a version of Puppy, in the desktop showoff thread, which used KDE -- the look is spectacular! I've always been more partial to GNOME 2.x, but it's only fair for me to try the competition, right? Laughing

Heck, I'm going to try to download the Slacko version and see if I can make it work with my copy of Upup Precise 382.

jejy69, if you do rebuild the KDE 4.10 SFS for Precise, please do test it in Upup Precise 382 -- I can upload the ISO somewhere if need be (russoodle gave me some storage, so I can use that. *IF* I can remember both path and password...)

Hi Jerome and everyone,

I made a fresh install and finally got the KDE running. I have tested intensively but the widgets don't work. For instance system monitors, cpu, ram, these funny things don't work. Clock is ok, but no widgets related to hardware works ; Is it only me or anyone else ?

Eveything else seems ok but you need to be very careful as many settings needs to be done under jwm (gtk settings for instance) and you may have to switch from one to another ... There is some more work to be done also for firefox so it looks like a qt Smile

The fonts are not right and needs to be adjusted, I did it and the simplest way is just to add +1 to their initial size, no need to change font family. Anyway there is only a few fonts.

Some menus seems weird but works right. There is no shutdown button, here is a trick: launch pupcontrol and click on SM button (shutdown manager) Smile

Ah, and, it's blue. A lot. Very Happy
