Re: kde fully broken in debian/testing
I can confirm, unfortunately. :(
Attempted an upgrade today (01.08) a bit past midnight.
Was warned about "plasma-desktop" conflicting "kde-workspace-bin",
"kde-workspace-data" and some 7 other packages.
Chose to proceed. Uninstalled them. Results aren't neat.
If you depend on your system to do accomplish work,
do NOT upgrade at the moment!
Details:
- networkmanager working, fortunately, connectivity not lost
- most non-KDE apps working (iceweasel, pidgin, gimp, etc)
unless you want to resize their windows (no obvious way to do it)
- all desktop items gone (was using folder view)
- no obvious way of switching back to folder view
- windows cannot be reized by dragging
- no obvious alternative way to resize windows
- K menu switched over from classing to new version
- no obvious way of switching back
- Dolphin working very strangely, most options inaccessible
Very fortunately I do all of my actual work (except 3D design)
in VirtualBox VMs, and VirtualBox works without any changes.
I can thus ignore that my KDE "stumbled and fell",
but I must caution others, plz be careful!
Best regards,
Arp.
