I dreaded it much worse than it was, although I am on 1000mg vik and 800mg motrin every 4 hours. Ate a big steak last night with bakeds potato and asparagus. Man I am freaking hungry,, drinking freaking chicken soup sucks! I want some food!!

I didn't have them put me out when they did mine.
Just local. Less messing around afterward, and it goes much faster.
Lots of ibuprophen before keeps the swelling down.
I think I have a high pain threshold, though.
I haven't used Novacaine for cavities in thirty years.

Hey Penguinbait, judging by you eating solid food, you are doing A...O...K. It has been a week and one day since my four wisdom teeth were extracted. I just bought a syringe at Wal-Mart called, "Oral Syringe by EZY DOSE", and it works great to flush out food that is buried in the hole where the wisdom teeth were. Remember, if you didn't get stitches, you may need this, but make sure you had time healing before using it. Otherwise, you might flush your blood clog, hence Dry Sock and thats a pain. So I've heard. Use warm water mixed with salt and rinse after eating to kill bacteria. We don't want the Dentist to "Code" you another check up. :P Anyways, if you need pointers, let me know. Happy Healing.

Hello! I just tried out your KDE for Maemo for the first time (I've been meaning to for a long while) and tried out the latest and greatest. It's amazing to have KDE on my tablet... it's like a tiny laptop, capable of anything. (Or that's what it feels like.)

Right now, I'm playing around still. The mouse glitched on me and wouldn't come back once, but it's really useful when it works. I of course customized the heck out of it as soon as I clicked "KDE"... and all the usual KDE options worked great.

Konqueror with just one bar and no menu bar or status bar has so much screen real estate, it's amazing. It even has tabs, way better than the built in browser... although no flash, and some pages won't load. (Come to think of it, I'm really spoiled.)

I tried Synergy, and it let me use my desktop's mouse and keyboard perfectly. Normal, hildon-maemo-whatever DE has problems clicking on certain fields or with bringing up the full-screen keyboard when you press enter, but KDE worked perfectly and as expected.

Not important but I figured since you were asking for testing, not playing... kcontrol won't do anything or launch if I run it from the menu, but it works fine running from the desktop, quick launch, or "run". Anyway, I'm just completely amazed at this.

I just locked the screen, don't even know how.
The password that OpenSSH had me create way back when didn't work.
This seems like a risky thing to have as a default,
especially when the N800s have no way to unlock.

I found another problem, this time with joystick support, my scripts are lacking a sudo.

NOKIA:/usr/local/bin ROOT#cat joyon.sh
sudo insmod /usr/local/lib/joydev.ko
/usr/bin/qjoypad &

NOKIA:/usr/local/bin ROOT#cat joyoff.sh
ps | grep qjoypad | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill
ps | grep qjoypad | grep -v grep | awk '{print $1}' | xargs kill -9
sudo rmmod joydev
sudo rmmod joydev


So you can add the sudo, or update with the SUPv2 again, I just updated it again, sorry

Ok, so I've finally updated my KDE and had some time to play with things - sorry for the delay. The upgrade went of smoothly and painlessly - I just renamed my .kde directory and then untarred on top of my existing install. Merged my .kde-PCQ with the new .kde and off I went.

Anyways, I'm really glad that I upgraded! You've added some really nice features and fixed quite a few bugs Thanks a bunch!

1. (+) Menu Editor is now fixed Yay!! I know you weren't sure it was borken before, but all I can say is now it actually works where before it wouldn't save any changes I had made.

2. (-) KGhostView crashes very badly (ie: screen dithers to black and then whole unit spontaneously resets) when trying to open a moderately large pdf file (~5 MB). It will open smaller pdf files well though. Just curious, why add Ghostview when both KPDF and the Osso pdf-viewer both already work really well?

3. (+) I was able to restore the bulk of my settings by copying over my original .kde files. That made things go much easier and quicker.

4. (+) I like how you added the Hildon list to the menu. Also, thanks for setting up Maemo Mapper and switchonBT. I had tried to get those to run in KDE before but couldn't. Wonder what I was doing wrong?

5. (+) Still waiting for my battery to drop low enough to test out your pb-batt but so far it works well. I do like it in the upper corner.

6. (+) Is it just my imagination or reduce initial memory usage? I seem to have more memory available after I first start up KDE and don't go into swap as quickly as before.

7. There's still some stuff I haven't tried yet. I probably won't try the joystick because well, I don't have one. I'll try out KMail later and see if I can send.

Is there anything in particular you'd like me to test before you release this into the wild?

Thanks again PB!!

kde is even better than before but for me the menu editing
still does not work. I can edit but changes are not saved. No
idea what it could be.

No, I am just looking for problems, so if you run into any let me know I would like to hammer them all out before creating another deb install...

Report #2

Finally got my battery low enough to trigger the "Low Battery" window message. I got the message @18%. Excellent! Now I don't have to obsessively check my battery status near the end of a long day This is a very welcome feature.

As for why adding Maemo Mapper and switchonBT to the menu now works to launch them in KDE when previously when I was trying to make a desktop shortcut (Menu Editor wasn't working for me) - I constantly got permissions errors that I figure out how to fix. Did you change default permissions anywhere? Regardless, I'm just pleased that they now work

I haven't really come across any additional problems so far - I'll be sure to let you know if I do.
