If you *tried* to harm my dog you'd be carrying your teeth home in a bucket. Assuming you could still walk that is. And your snotty little brat would already have had his ass booted out of my yard.

You must have a pretty off beat distro. dkms has been handling that problem for years.

I'm going to have to check it out, I like qt, both for its looks and its API. KDE has a huge infra structure with it I'd be reluctant to give up but they've bet the farm on nepomuk/akonadi, which are complete clusterfucks, as said in Jurassic Park - "Dennis, our lives are in your hands and you've got butterfingers?"

Its a fucking disaster. I used to blame kmail2 but came to realise its a decent frontend, its the back end that drags it down.

4.8 RC2 Gmail imap account, working fine for weeks. Nothing changed, then I get that perpetual rotating wait icon, followed by the
"Unable to fetch job" error when trying to access sub folders. Reboots don't make any difference.

I know the deal - the only reliable way to fix it is to delete the virtuoso/nepomuk databases and all kmail configs and recreate the account from scratch, but you know what? I just can't be bothered any more. Tired out and fed up. I've been a good boy, I given up hoping for a search that works, I don't attempt to integrate with google calendar or contacts any more, I don't expect address expansion to work reliably. Theres bug entries ate bugs.kde.org related to this months old with no dev attention, not even to confirm or reject then.

Its just easier to use my webmail or Thunderbird. At least it always works, even if its not as integrated with the kde desktop.

So one less reason to use KDE at all.

No they have not. Its a flat out lie.

OMG, thank you so much. That was beautiful. Web Scale even.

Now please excuse, I have to find a plug for my bleeding ass hole.

Yah, also the ignorance

Bet you it leads back to Industry.

Well bugger. Saving playlists to disk is my primary usage pattern, so I can share them between different PCs and Installs. This is why I'm switching to services like Google Music or AMPache.

Thanks for checking it

I found the description a bit confusing but it *sounds* like they have improved the playlist creation and editing - that was what pushed me away fro Amarok 2.x, creating and editing a playlist was incredibly awkward involving multiple swicthes between various panes. Not to mention very buggy. The bugs were mostly fixed, but the actual process remained a usability nightmare.

Will check it again once it reaches the kubuntu repos.
