Go Gentoo!!! :)

However as much as I would like to see Gentoo win it would seem JXTA and Helix are just there to fill space and it wouldn't be hard to say the same for Gentoo, I think the fact that KDE is nominated but not GNOME or any other window manager is evidence enought that the Judges are fairly biased towards KDE :(.

What an ignorant thing to say. The reason there are public betas are because everyone has different hardware and different combinations of hardware that a few in house testers can't compensate for unless those people actually use and crash their software. Just because it works and it stable for you doesn't mean it must be so for everyone else.


I didn't say that it was, I merely stated the fact that majority of KDE-users don't have problems with it, and just because we here have one person who is unhappy with it, doesn't mean that it sucks. Let's continue for a while shall we?

There are people out there who can't run Linux, because it refuses to install, it doesn't do what they need it to do etc. etc. So clearly Linux must suck! Flagship of the Open-Source community? HAH! A steaming pile of shit it is!

Some people can't install Gentoo. It just dies on them or fails due to some other error. So clearly Gentoo sucks as well! I can't understand how Gentoo can be nominated for this award, since I can clearly remember seeing posts in these forums where people complained about the shortcoming of Gentoo, failed installations etc. etc.

See what I mean?

This may come as a shock to you, but most Windows-users are perfectly happy with the OS.

Which is why it's still in Beta. And to my knowledge, KDE3.2 is not the product that has been nominated, but KDE as a whole. Just because their BETA-software has some bugs does not mean that due to that, the project as a whole must suck.

Linux Kernel version 2.5.14 was really unstable for me, so clearly Linux must suck!

Why? Is the gnome project the default desktop install for any other distribution besides redhat (Now enterprise only)? It seems to me that alone makes KDE pretty darn sucessful, not to mention Lindows runs it as well. Not to mention all the other stuff KDE does well.

Using your logic, Since debian isn't available we can assume that the Judges are biased towards Gentoo and it has nothing to do with portage, the community, optimizations, tons of up-to-date apps, etc... It has to be bias because they didn't choose debian and everyone knows that debian is SO much better gentoo.

Slon, I take it you have file a bug at bugs.kde.org and uploaded the tracfiles generated. You know, just as well as I do, that doing so is the only way to get the bugs fixed.

Could you post the bug number and I'll take a look at it and see if I can reproduce in the CVS builds?

No I didn't. My personal experience shows that nobody cares.
Example: kfind has a bug that has been filed and refiled many times. This bug has been tagging along for years now from one release to another and affected many disttributions and many versions of distributions.
Bug has todo with searching for text string. I was able to reproduce it on RedHat, SUSE, Mandrake, Gentoo and Knoppix. As root and as regular user. Last time I checked resolution of this bug was "Works here". Guy just doesn't want to fix it. What are you gonna do?

Just in general I'd like to point out that in linux world people are being praised for efforts and not for results. Things like " It didn't work for me, but keep up a good work" (paraphrasing from GLIS thread, page 2 or 3) are very common. How does one arrive to this conclusion? I'd really like to witness the thought proccess.
Let's translate it into the real world: I work on my version of perpetuum mobile although it doesn't work yet, but I have been nominated for Nobel Prize..... Really?

simultaneously on another machine running knoppix 3.3 november release ten minutes into the search interface is not responsive at all. If covered by another window does not redraw. CD is still spinning like crazy. But no evidence of crash yet.

Update: on Knoppix machine CD stopped spinning. CPU is 97% idle
kfind has 0.7% of %CPU (PIII-750) and 11% of 384MB RAM and growing 11.2% now.

kfind window did not restore its' interface. So after what... 20 minutes even if nothing crashes I think it's safe to conclude that this particular app is crappy.

Looks like the bug only exists in kde 3.1.x; it must have been fixed early on in kde 3.2 development (before june anyways). I suppose the fix was not merged back into the older branch. This is often the case, since there simply aren't enough developers using older versions of KDE (however, enough are there at minor versions of kde 3.1.x came out)

Don't you think it's irresponsible to rush to new version number like this: " We know there is a bug and we are not gonna fix it in this version, better luck next time." I think I heard it somewhere before.

Hardly a fair comparison. In Windows, you have to PAY in order to upgrade to next version. In KDE, you get it for free. Do you have any good reason NOT to upgrade to KDE3.2 once it's released? Also, have you tried to upgrade to KDE3.1.5 to see that has it been fixed?

Seriously, if the bug has been fixed in 3.2 (or 3.1.5), then what's the problem? A bug is found in software. They fix it in the next version of the software. What's wrong with that? That's how they do it in ALL software (Kernel, GNOME etc. etc.). Or do you assume that they should backport all the fixes to all the past version of their software? So those who (for some reason or another) don't want to upgrade, can apply individual patches to their software?

FWIW: I haven't been able to reproduce your bug. If something as fundamental as searching was broken, don't you think there would be lots and lots of people complaining about it? But that doesn't seem to be the case, why?

It's not that nobody wants to fix it in the older branches, but there simply isn't enough developers running older versions to fix it.

This happens with almost all open source software that operate with two branches (i.e, Mozilla, OpenOffice, GNOME, the Linux Kernel, etc..). Do you really expect, for example, that all bugfixes in linux 2.6.0 will get backported to linux 2.4.x? As many bugs get backported as possible, but like KDE, most development thought occurs in the 2.6 branch rather than the 2.4.x branch.

Well.. I do. Not with kernel. They seem to have sane roadmap. But KDE is just racing through releases. People show their loyalty to KDE and expect same in return. I know it's not realistic but would stand to reason. It would be expensive for a business to keep up with this upgrade schedule. And I don't think regular desktop users(I'm not talking about technojunkies) would like it either. To avoid bugs they are forced to upgrade. I think I've seen KDE 3.1.9x. If I'm not mistaken there are some minor changes to the interface and people will have to adapt and change their habbits again. How many times we've gone through it this year?
Taking this into account slogan "With linux you are in control" doesn't withstand the scrutiny.

This is pathetic. A company that is responsible for RealOne won a Linux Excellence Award.....plus, it's not even MENTIONED as news on http://www.helixcommunity.org/ Note that they are a minor sponsor of the Expo, so methinks a foul sardine has escaped the mighty grasp of the Penguin.... :wink:

You are just talking out of you ass. It's not realistic to expect them to backport everything. First of all, it might not be possible. Second, it would take too much time which would slow down rest of the developement. And how far back should they backport? KDE2? Why should they waste their time backporting when the users could just simply upgrade to the new version? In case you didn't notice this before, ALL SOFTWARE get's new version all the time" So it's not something KDE-folks made up! GNOME releases new version all the time, Xfree releases new version all the time, Mozilla releases new versions all the time. etc. etc.

So here we have group of volunteers giving us kick-ass software for free. And what do you do? Whine that "No! You are not doing enough! Do more!". They have no obligation to satisfy your every whim. They do this because they like doing it. They give it to you for free.

Seriously, I'm sick and tired of listening people whine, when they receive world-class software for free, yet they keep on whining that "Damn the developers suck! They should do more and give me more free stuff!". Can you say "spoiled brat"?. If KDE sucks so much, start your own damn desktop-project.

KDE's UI has been pretty damn stable for a long time. KDE 3.1 is not that different from KDE2.2 for example. If you know previous version of KDE, I would say you shouldn't have ANY problems moving from one version to the next. Hell, moving from Windows2000 to Windows XP is more difficult than moving from one KDE to the other.

KDE3.1.9x is the pre-release of KDE3.2. I believe Beta1 and Beta2 were something like 3.1.94 and 3.1.96. So what's the problem? It's not like they are inflating the version-numbers. Hell, why don't you whine when stable GNOME-releases only use even numbers? We had 2.0, then 2.2, then 2.4 etc. With KDE we have 3.0, 3.1, 3.2.
