Re: Sources.list --> Testing ???

2001-05-27 Thread John Gay
When making a major version change, like from potato to testing, you should use apt-get dist-upgrade. Not just upgrade. dist-upgrade is designed to attempt to intelligently handle dependencies when changing from one major version to another. I'm not saying that this would have prevented your trag

Sources.list --> Testing ???

2001-05-27 Thread Robert Tilley
After kde.tdyc.com went down and I learned that KDE was part of testing, I attempted to point my sources.list file to the Debian testing.  Failure -- massive and complete failure that ended in wiping my linux partitions and beginning again with Debian.   Yes, I could have spent much time and

apt-get update/upgrade broke my potato

2001-05-27 Thread Bud Rogers
Ack. I'm reduced to mutt here. Did apt-get update/upgrade on my potato system a couple of hours ago. Kdm starts OK, but if I log in I just get the stippled grey background of the kdm login screen, no kde. Tried moving ~/.kde, didn't help. Anyone else seeing this? -- Bud Rogers <[EMAIL PROTECT

It would seem that kde.tdyc.com has been taken down and we are left with testing or unstable as our source of the latest that KDE has to offer. I'm currently running Progeny, which is based on 'testing' and just received my boxed set! On the extra's CD it had KDE 2.0.0-final as released by Ivan q

How To Get Gimp 1.2.1 For Debian ?

2001-05-27 Thread Nick
Well my snazzy Debian 2.2r2 / KDE 2.1.1 setup is proving so much fun that I'd now like to add what seems to be one of the best goodies for Linux - namely the Gimp. But the Gimp that comes with Potato is ancient (1.0.x), and all reports are to the effect that Gimp 1.2.1 is so much better than any p
