    KDE3.2 install

    When I tried to install kmplayer (apt-get install kmplayer) apt-get began
    to upgrade about 37 packages mostly KDE related before installeing kmplayer, but half-way this proces , apt-get frooze, and now I have a messed up KDE. When I want to reinstall KDE I get depencies problems,canot install.

    Does anybody know how to install KDE3.2 on knoppix 3.2 system (HDD install) Or if that is a bad idea, reinstall KDE from knoppixCD whitout a complete reinstall of the whole system?

    Do a search for this: the real issue for upgrading Kde seems to be that you need to point your sources.list at unstable.

    Do you really mean KDE 3.2? This only exists as alpha at the moment,
    so I doubt there's any official debian package. If you want to restore a
    working 3.1.3, here's an old post from this forum (that I cannot find
    back right now) which worked fine for me. Credit to the original poster.
    I myself just upgraded to KDE 3.1.3 so here is what I did:

    1. at the command line as root, type:
    $ kedit /etc/apt/sources.list
    2. Save a back-up copy, then delete everything in the file. Copy the following line and save:
    deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian unstable main
    (note, you might want a closer server than http.us.debian.org.debian, such as
    deb ftp://ftp.it.debian.org/debian unstable main
    3. At the command line as root type:
    $ apt-get update
    4. You can now start the copying process by typing:
    $ apt-get install xxxx
    where xxxx are the following files:

    arts
    kde-i18n-it <-- Only if you want Italian modifications to KDE
    kdeaddons
    kdeadmin
    kdeartwork
    kdebase
    kdebindings
    kdeedu
    kdegames
    kdegraphics
    kdelibs
    kdemultimedia
    kdenetwork
    kdepim
    kdetoys
    kdeutils
    quanta

    5. Restart your computer and you should be done!

    there is a possibility to even run kde 3.2 CVS on debian, there is an (of course unofficial) kde CVS repository, you can find it using www.apt-get.org searching on 'kde'.

    I use it its quite good, and its nice to see kde3.2 will be really improved alot...

    Actually I might like to try that one of these days on a spare partition and a fresh
    install; would the above package list(with an adapted sources.list) work?

    wow, be carefull, it is quite difficult (lot errors u have to resolve, at least I had some). I did just an apt-get dist-upgrade after putting the appropriate site in sources.list.
    problems are mostly files wich are present in 2 packages (so apt-get, which doesnt allow this, gives an error). you must manually use dpkg to overwrite those files (with --force-overwrite, try man dpkg)

    good luck!

    I changed apt-config and replaced "testing " with "unstable"

    also I put entrys for KDEcvs in "/etc/apt/sources.list"
    then did a apt-get update .
    But when I do apt-get install kde ,
    I have unmet depencies for kcontrol and konqueror,

    In addition KDE3.2 CVS will break at least twice this summer it fried my system and in the current release Konqueror does not seem to like playing streaming content from the net it gives me a I/O error every time I try to connect.

    You can try commenting out all the stable and testing sources then apt-get update and then install. Also when you are installing use a line like apt-get install kdebase=exact_version_number to force apt to install the version from the CVS you may have to do this many times with the different programs you need.
