Kde 3.5
« Reply #150 on: January 31, 2006, 12:17:00 am »
Hope someone can advise this pdaXrom noob....just installed pdaXrom on my 3100 yesterday and it works great. However, interested in trying out KDE but feel a bit confused after reading through this long thread a few times.

So would be great if someone could describe:

A) Best way to install KDE on a 3100 and

 Where to get the files. Have checked the pdaXrom feeds, but don't see the files there....

Thanks for any and all help!!

IMHO there are 2 options... sashz compiled kde and announced it soemwhere around here.

This thread is about a kde 3.5 (same kde) squash image buildt from that.


I've tried sahz's version, and liked it...but I'm not real handy (read lazy and uninformed) with pdaxrom xinitrc config stuff and so have played with it less than it deserves.

the squashfs image sounds really cool....  but  you have room to go either way easily on a 3100

1. use the instructions in this thread

2. or add "c7x0-860" feed to your feeds (package manager) (http://mail.pdaxrom.org/1.1.0beta1/Zaurus-7x0-860/feed/)
Then install at least "kdebase" and "kdelibs", make sure to install on Hd or card.

There is a command somewhere in the forum to link ".xinitrc" to "startkde",then you can just type "startx" and kde starts.

I didn't do this, instead I created a "xinitrc.kde" and a "startxkde", now I have a choice (startx=matchbox, startxkde=kde or startxfce4=xfce4).

I can post them tomorrow if you like, left my Z at work.

Thanks for your help, Chero!

Meanwhile searched through more posts on this in the pdaXrom section and found an interesting one for dual-booting pdaXrom with KDE and Qtopia on a C3000....

Instructions seemed be clear even to me, so in the process of giving it a shot..... sounded like a nice way to go if it works....

when you extract this archive, you'll find a dir called "home", copy the file that's in it to your home-dir.
You'll also find a dir called "bin", copy the file that's in there to a bin dir (I prefer /usr/local/bin, but /usr/X11R6/bin would perhaps be more logical).

then "startx" will remain unchanged, "startxkde" will launch kde.

Please note, the files are not "polished", they just work.

OK, got KDE working using someonehoi's post about dual-booting Sharp ROM and pdaXrom/KDE.

Works great except I have a couple questions please....

1) In KDE, how do I get connected to internet using my Ambicom WiFi card

I tried to open up kwifimanager to setup my WiFi card, but it's not installed yet...


2) In KDE, how do I get connected to internet using my Socket Ethernet card.

3) In Package Manager, what feed should I use to get KDE apps?

4) Can I only install KDE apps or ???


Thanks,

Mark

Have you got wifi working at all? If it's not setup yet then use "Lan & Wifi", which is found under "System Tools" in matchbox. Once you've got it working then it'll just work, whether you're using KDE or whatever.

3) In Package Manager, what feed should I use to get KDE apps?
The "main" feed, ie the one for 7x0-860, ie in the case of 1.1.0beta1:
http://mail.pdaxrom.org/1.1.0beta1/Zaurus-7x0-860/feed/

All the KDE apps that you can use are found in

kdebase  
kdeedu
kdegraphics
kdelibs
kdepim

I'm using the squashfs image created by ShiroiKuma and refined by ZDevil. I've also installed kdegraphics from the main feed. Now the problem is that kde apps don't know how to handle jpegs, although pngs are fine. Any idea what I'm missing?

Hi all.

Could someone post their original xinitrc file (which works with matchbox). I removed it to get kde running and now cant get back into matchbox. KDE looks great though!

Cheers guys

btw im running a C1000 with pdaxrom 1.1.0beta2
