I finally upgraded to Karmic. This is the first time I have not been part of the beta or alpha.
Still, I noticed some problems. First of all, I still use KDE 3 – I am still scared of KDE 4 since the initial unstable release and dont dare using it… yet.
I had no items in KControl what so ever. I solved this by installing “kdebase-kde3″ and “kpersonalizer-kde3″ and executing this command:
sudo ln -s /opt/kde3/etc/xdg/menus/kde-settings.menu /etc/xdg/menus sudo ln -s /opt/kde3/etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-essential.menu /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged/kde-essential.menu
Further more I could configure the CPU frequency applet in Gnome to change frequency without requesting my password. This can be solved by entering this:
gksudo gedit /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.gnome.cpufreqselector.policy
Scroll to the end of the file and change the “…admin_auth_passwd” (or something) to “yes”.
This post serves mostly as my own personally note for the future
