kdesup-3.5.8.deb (Install time about < 1 minute)

Now start KDE from extra's menu.

Hi, I've did the installation in the descripted way. The swap.img and local.img are located in the media/mmc1/ directory an in the extra's menu i see the kde start icon. After pressing this butten the screen become black for 1 minute and after this time the tablet switches back to the normal OS2008 desktop.

Doy you have any idea what I have to do, for launching the kde? How can I start th kde from the termial?

Thanks a lot, jukey

UPDATE: Problem is solved! There was not enough internal memory on the tablet. After deleting some stuff i had not longer any problem! :-)

Maybe an app on symbian that emulate a bluetooth keyboard using the phone one could be usefull ... does it exist ?

It includes a virtual keyboard.

Any chances for OS2007 version? I still don't trust OS2008

Can you please on your two n800 verify if there is any problem with fonts in microb after installing KDE.

I can not see any difference, but some people are saying there is a problem. I can not confirm. Can you open some pages in microb on the n800 with KDE installed and on n800 without KDE installed and see if you are seeing a font difference. It may be there but without looking at them at the same time I can't see any difference.

I'll take a look later today... But yesterday I tried just the Konqueror on a website familiar to me and the fonts looked rather big and thin... Did not try Opera on Maemo.

Anyone who would like to do a video of the install and a KDE walkthrough? I could upload it to Tablet 101.

Great job penguinbait!

The weird bit that drove me nuts was that I downloaded the 4 file susing a vista machine. For some reason it insists on calling the tar.bz2 file a tar.tar file. I did not notice this and that then makes running kde-3.5.8-mmc2.deb impossible. So anyone else out there downloading the files with an MS OS rename it when its down. Note odly too vista hangs the file transfer from the cache for this file?!

I am just installing now I got this sorted and will try on my 810 when the mem card arrives in the post.

Thanks

I did the download with Firefox on Windows XP. After this I copied the files to my N800 and installed the files. Works fine for me.
