004-kde4.xzm for Porteus 32-bits (The Bleeding Edge)

[wread]

You can download it from mediafire to "optional"; then switch it with 004-tde.xzm in "base" . If you don't like it, go back to trinity. Hide 005-tdeapps.xzm in optional too and reboot in AF mode as root:

Yo can setup your desktop and panel preferences and lock them. To get them the next time you boot, pick up the folder ...../live/memory/changes/root/.kde/share/config and copy it to /rootcopy/root/.kde/share.

To set it for the guest account just substitute root with home/guest and do as before.

When you have it working, you can download 005-kdeapps.xzm and put it in "base":

Reboot and you are done. This is KDE-4.8.2.

Experience freedom!

EDIT: Some dependencies were missing from 005-kdeapps.xzm, so I had to substitute the old link. If you downloaded before 14:20 UTC from April 21, 2012, please get the new version. I apologize.

EDIT2: Now it is Juk that won't start. For that issue add this patch to "modules":

Now you can play your music as before...

EDIT3: A DE without games is incomplete, so I added a bunch of CardGames to 005-kdeapps.xzm and included the patch for Juk. You can download the last version from
http://www.mediafire.com/?yqbf55m9t4q9uqx
Download it and substitute the "old" one (about 15 MB) with this (about 29 MB) 8)

EDIT4: The latest version of Porteus (1.2-rc2) has a new disk-burning program with blue-ray option and without HAL; HAL will be maintained no more and has already been dropped in the 64-bit edition. In other words, we can also eliminate the old good k3b from the 32-bit edition now. I dropped k3b from 005-kdeapps.xzm and made a new 005-kdeapps4.xzm that can be downloaded from

http://www.mediafire.com/?4a8m8pbfdoptdfn

It is now 21 MB instead of 29MB.

Enjoy!

EDIT5: Here is the perfect match to these KDE4-modules: 002-xorg4.xzm with Network Manager in, and wicd out!

Now you can use your android phone as wi-fi hotspot (Barnacle wi-fi tether), connect via VPN, DSL or wired. It should be IPv6-ready, too (not tested!)
Just substitute your 1.2-rc2 version and reboot. The first connection you must edit; then save /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Whatever.txt to /rootcopy/etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Whatever.txt; the next ime you start the machine you will be up and connected automatically....BTW, I also took HAL out; it is deprecated and not maintained and should soon disappear??

Cheers! 8)

You are welcome, Jay!

Excellent work.

I didn't see your last post and just grabbed the 004 and 005 modules. Everything booted nicely and i arrived at the black desktop (which i liked because i could customize things to my liking). I also installed networkmanager in place of wicd which works out of the box in your version. (Won't work in Trinity).

A few things i would change.

Replace konqueror icon with firefox on panel.
Put a konsole button on panel.
Put the common places icons on desktop.

Apart from these i really love it ... and will write something in 32bit for users to download and replace Trinity with KDE4 if they choose to. Great work !!!

@all interested in KDE4 - 32 bits:

Here is how to configure the desktop in KDE4; it is a little bit different than with other DEs:

1) to select a background wallpaper you must click right on the desktop and choose a wallpaper. To keep Porteus kde4 moderate in size, there are only 2 default themes: "Black" and "Stripes", you can get others from the IN to fit your liking, You can use the bottom-right button "get more.." for that purpose.

2) if you would like to drag and drop files to the desktop, then you must have a "Folder Widget": click the drop-formed icon on top right of the screen and choose "add widgets". There will appear a row of available items. Select it.

3) to set the panel buttons: if you don't want a button, right click on it to display a drop down menu and delete it. If you want to add a widget to the panel, unlock it (drop menu), choose it, and lock it again.

4) if you want to put a launch button in the panel, open the desired program "Start>Application>(Name)" the regular way and minimize it to the panel; then right-click the so created panel bar to convert it to a button.

To save your settings put the folder "/mnt/live/memory/changes/root/.kde/share/config" in rootcopy/root/.kde/share/config. I am posting a module Desktops.xzm and submit it to brokenman for approval.

Enjoy!

EDIT: The module with the initial desktops, for "root" and for "guest" can be downloaded form mediafire:

http://www.mediafire.com/?77h5q1f2nfgx5vd

You can put 009-desktops.xzm in "base" and reboot. To further customize your dektop, you can use the method from last paragraph of original post.

Regards!
