help downgrade to kde 3.5 using entropy!!

[tman7510]

Hi I have SL 4.1 KDE but I feel kde 4.2 is way too unstable and is missing basic packages like knetworkmanager and kpowersave. Is there a way to downgrade to kde 3.5 using entropy? I would really appreciate any help

I know I can just look at the available packages but I am wondering if there is a conf file that I can use to tell it to use 3.5 and ignore packages that will only work on kde 4.2

you can install kde3 next to kde4.

Code: Select all

equo install kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.10-r1

If you want to remove kde4 i'd guess to remove kdelibs for kde4.

Thanks joost but is there a way to tell entropy to ignore packages that wont work with 3.5?

you can use /etc/entropy/packages/package.mask to "hide" the packages you want entropy to ignore.
