Dear Support! I am using linux since Suse 6.0, and always I was using KDE. I don't know why I don't like Gnome. Also I am programmer since 1987, mostly on Microsoft based systems, and I have began programming on Linux since 2001. In the last few years I am using Lazarus/Free pascal. I have installed Debian 6.0.4 on a normal, simple dual-core Intel CPU computer. Trying to use the new plasmoid KDE I have encountered several problems: - this plasmoid skin is very hard to understand how it works, rather complicated, it took me 2 days to figure it out, - I cannot change the computer's name from the Control Center, I had to change it manually in the /etc/hostname - when installing Linux, setting the network settings to DHCP, I cannot change anything for the default eth0, I can change it only manually in /etc/network/interfaces - in the Control Center the default eth0 connection does not appear, but the NetworkManager uses it and the computer can access the internet - I can add a new connection in the Control Center, and the new connection will appear in the NetworkManager, but I cannot make the system to use by default my new connection, after booting the system always will use the originally installed eth0 connection and I have to change manually to my new connection - if I add a new connection as root, then that new connection will be available ONLY to the root user, and not to the normal user - the good old KPackage package manager is missing, synaptic cannot be used to install a downloaded deb package, I have to do it manually with dpkg - in my software I am using the Times New Roman truetype font from Windows... I got used to it and I like it... I can install it under the new KDE, but I cannot make my Lazarus program should use it... - Amarok is also very complicated to use and often doesn't starts, cannot play anything The old 3.5 KDE has none of the above problems, everything could be done from the Control Center and everything was working perfectly. Can You help me in these problems ? Best regards Zoltán
The KDE bug tracker is not a help or support forum. If you have questions how to setup networking connections or desktop widgets, please ask in the general KDE forums at https://forum.kde.org/ or at the forum of your distribution via http://forums.opensuse.org/ In case it has been decided a feature is missing in KDE 4, or there is a bug, please file a separate report for each issue identified on this bug tracker, unless the issue has already been reported. The current report is not managable in the KDE bug tracker, because you are mixing multiple issues in a single report.
I misread the information about the distribution you are using. The forums for Debian users are reachable via http://forums.debian.net/
