Re: Kde 4.7 A sanctioned community upgrade is in development. It is wise to wait for that.
viewtopic.php?f=57&t=32456 Having said that KDE 4.7 is in the Debian experimental repos. I think some of our users have upgraded to it. I am sure they will respond with issues, or lack thereof. _________________ Forum Rules Guide - How to Ask for Help Link to Wiki Rich Acer Laptop 5750G: Intel i5, 4 GIG mem, nVidia GT540M/Intel integrated graphics Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.2 M12 Alpha 2 in VirtualBox |

Re: Kde 4.7
There will be at the appropriate time. In development means it is not ready to release. _________________ Forum Rules Guide - How to Ask for Help Link to Wiki Rich Acer Laptop 5750G: Intel i5, 4 GIG mem, nVidia GT540M/Intel integrated graphics Kubuntu 13.04, KDE 4.10.2 M12 Alpha 2 in VirtualBox |

Re: Kde 4.7 I got 64-bit up and running, and 32-bit finished except for 4 mistakes I have to go back and fix--there's still a lot of smaller packages I have to finish on 64-bit, too. However, I do have a job & a life, such as it is :)
One thing is that openGL desktop effects are blacklisted for certain cards (such as Intel GM 45 and my intel clarksdale) when paired with our older xorg drivers. Xrender does work great, though. I will try and upgrade xorg from backports.org after the builds to see if that fixes the issue. _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |

Re: Kde 4.7 Update: Have all packages finished, will upload them to Ubuntu One tomorrow night, Pacific Time. They include Digikam 2.5.0. Haven't found any older broken programs yet, but we'll see. K3b still works.
Updating the Intel driver from squeeze-backports enabled openGL effects and they really seem smoother--no new ones, though. Kind of pooped out, but will see about getting the xorg upgrades into the CR eventually, though the command line instructions are simple and worked a treat for the backports repo. Haven't heard from Tim yet on where he wants to put these newer KDE packages--another Experimental repo or what _________________ Lenovo ThinkPad Edge 14 inch: 4 GB RAM, Intel i5-480 processor, Intel HD graphics and sound, Intel 1000 "n" WiFi, Acer CrystalEye webcam, Hot Keys, suspend, hibernate, KDE openGL effects: all work out of the box with 64-bit MEPIS 11! |
