Awesome, no plasma Crashes? No Kontact crashes? I am tented to try it on my eeepc, KDE4.2.4 is just too slow to login on cold boot. Thanks!

Works great on my dinky hp paviliion 500mb ram. Except when you open to many apps.
Had to do do a fresh install. Upgrade from JJ messed a few things up.

Wish i could try a real intsall of the netbook version.

Thanks Fintan

This sounds scary though:

I hope I can just upgrade. Installing from scratch on the 4gb disk is a PITA. How about you, roadrunner58, is this an upgrade in Jaunty? Others? Thanks everyone!

Re: KDE 4.3 RC 3 Available

Installed on both karmic and jaunty (the karmic being a recent upgrade from jaunty).
So far, so good, no problems.

What is the easiest way to upgrade? Just enable backports?

Re: KDE 4.3 RC 3 Available

Folks, I am going in, too exciting to waste

Thank you all for the feedback!

Typing from my eeepc in KDE 4.3 RC 3, so far so good!

Re: KDE 4.3 RC 3 Available

An update, in KDE 4.3 I can't log out (I need to "sudo reboot" from a konsole). I am glad I only put this on the eee, which is single user. It would have been very inconvenient in the main desktop shared by 3 users!

Re: KDE 4.3 RC 3 Available

At first I upgraded from JJ to kamic, but my JJ was, well...... special in a few ways and that is why the upgrade was choppy so I installed karmic proper.

I don't have a log out issue at all.Hmm... I remember having that in Intrepid alpha x

let me dig around.

Re: KDE 4.3 RC 3 Available

Thanks, Fintan, I was thinking I might have to report this, but because you are not seeing it anymore (and probably others neither) it maybe something local ...

It's not just me then! Can't use 'logout', 'restart' or 'shutdown' from the menu since the update. 'Switch user' works.

Re: KDE 4.3 RC 3 Available

Hmm... lmilano.
I just had another look on my laptop.

I can shut down and reboot but log out hangs .

So maybe there is a bug somewhere.

I don't have this on my desktop either with JJ nor KK
