| 00:00.39 | Big_Bozz | yep |
| 00:03.55 | toyowheelin | hey bo you know how to find out what ver of KDE you have? |
| 00:04.41 | Big_Bozz | well, in every app (almost) there is the Help option on the menu bar and you can then click About KDE. |
| 00:05.10 | *** join/#kde carles (~carles@164.125.64.51) |
| 00:05.18 | toyowheelin | well yeah...but it just says 3.2 BRANCH>=20040204 |
| 00:05.26 | Big_Bozz | or simply open a console and do kdesktop -v |
| 00:06.14 | Big_Bozz | well, seems like you got a version directly from the cvs tree. |
| 00:06.39 | toyowheelin | its whatever mandrake 10 comes with |
| 00:06.57 | Big_Bozz | ah I see. what does kdesktop -v tell you? |
| 00:07.21 | toyowheelin | Qt: 3.2.3 |
| 00:07.21 | toyowheelin | KDE: 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204 |
| 00:07.21 | toyowheelin | KDesktop: 3.2 BRANCH >= 20040204 |
| 00:08.08 | Big_Bozz | well, it is KDE v 3.2, and then the version available on the date you see (I think). They did a CVS snapshot at the time they release it and that is the one you have. |
| 00:08.12 | Big_Bozz | (I think) |
| 00:08.47 | toyowheelin | ok well is it out of date I guess is the question i would like to know |
| 00:09.38 | Big_Bozz | no, not really.. 3.2 is the latest stable (as far as I know) - but there are newer versions available. |
| 00:09.47 | toyowheelin | oh ok |
| 00:09.49 | toyowheelin | cool |
| 00:09.58 | toyowheelin | what ver do u have? |
| 00:10.03 | Big_Bozz | 3.2.3 |
| 00:10.08 | Big_Bozz | the latest stable on Gentoo |
| 00:10.12 | toyowheelin | cool |
| 00:10.25 | Big_Bozz | sorry, 3.2.2 |
| 00:10.36 | Big_Bozz | and QT 3.3.2 |
| 00:10.53 | toyowheelin | what is QT |
| 00:11.30 | Big_Bozz | the underlying development platform.. (basically controls the whole thing) (as far as I know!! I just came from a gnome platform so I'm not completely sure about all this kde stuff) |
| 00:11.55 | Ambient | qt is a toolkit, it draws the buttons, menus and stuff |
| 00:12.13 | Ambient | applications and kde use it to render windows |
| 00:12.25 | toyowheelin | oh ok cool...well im fairly new to the whole linux platform...just started using it like 5 months ago |
| 00:12.33 | superm3g | i have told konqueror to open all externally called URL's in an new tab in the exisisting kde session. this is usefull with klipper, kopete, kmail and such. but this only works then the application I click the url in and Konqueror is on the same workspace. any thoughts? |

| 00:14.33 | rootar | Hi Everybody, I have kde 3.2 running on SuSE 9.1, but I see that it's very slow (example: kwrite takes 44s to run) but after the use of the program is normal. Mandrake 10.0 is worse Xandros is MUCH faster :'(. How can i fix this please? Config: P4 1.5Ghz 128 Mb SD-RAM Swap:512mb ReiserFS |
| 00:14.39 | *** part/#kde ggrr (~leif@pool-141-149-40-172.ny325.east.verizon.net) |
| 00:15.21 | rootar | Help me please |
| 00:15.44 | Pupeno | rootar: if KDE in Xandros is much faster, it seems to have to do with how the underlying things are configured and not KDE itself. |
| 00:15.45 | grepper | rootar: strange, are you sure lo is up ? |
| 00:16.14 | Pupeno | rootar: what grepper said is the firs thing to look at ;) also ask in #suse and #mandrake ;) |
| 00:16.18 | grepper | kwrite takes 5 secs to load on my PII 400 so you have something misconfigured |
| 00:16.50 | rootar | I use the default config |
| 00:17.26 | Pupeno | rootar: default doesn't mean right. |
| 00:17.33 | grepper | if you do /sbin/ifconfig do you see lo (Loopback) ? |
| 00:17.41 | rootar | I'll try |
| 00:17.43 | toyowheelin | haha kwrite takes 4 second on my PIII450:) |
| 00:17.51 | grepper | brb |

| 00:20.36 | rootar | it didn't fix it |
