KDE 4 on Solaris came to life today on my Opteron box. Screenshots of running KDE4 [ kdelibs/kdepimlibs/kdebase-workspace/kdebase-runtime ]: KDE4Solaris [ my Smugmug gallery ]. Built with Sun Studio 12, QT 4.3.1 and the Apache Standard C++ Library. Read More

So, i had a productive IRC chat this morning with Tackat, who introduced me to Marble. Marble is part of kde-edu, and can be built either as a KDE4 application, or just as a standalone QT application. It runs very nicely on Solaris with QT 4.3.0: Read More

QT/Jambi, recently released, works on Solaris 10 with Sun Studio 11 and QT 4.3.0. Mandatory pretty screenshot: http://www.stefanteleman.org/qtjambi/jambisolaris.jpg. And some patches for Sun Studio/Solaris: http://www.stefanteleman.org/qtjambi/. :-)

A celebration of life and its byproduct. I am speechless. And I bet, so are you. :-P

So, OpenSolaris got zing'ed at LinuxWorld by IBM. Of course, that sent Sun's PR Department to DEFCON 5. On first appearance, this could just be IBM's PR Department "engaging our competitor's peers in a constructive yet competitive corporate dialogue" [mouthwash, please]. Instant Blogger Blast. How Web 2.0. I found the whole thing funny. Mr. Frye is not even entirely off the mark in his remarks. I just don't happen to think it takes one full year to "Evaluate Subversion". Read More

Just got back from a nice trip to California. Mostly Berkeley and San Francisco. Pics from this trip are here. And yes, this blog is related to KDE. :-) The clue is in the photo set. Read More

KDE now has a Community at OpenSolaris. And Steve Christensen had made KDE available for download from SunFreeware as well. It all happened yesterday, which was my birthday. I got some nice birthday presents this year. :-) Read More

so, KDE suffers from bloat, over-engineering and user confusion. apparently. personally, i never thought that to be the case until now, but, there are others who seem to hold these beliefs to be self-evident. i respect everyone's opinions and beliefs, even though they may be different than, or opposite to, my own.

This past Sunday (July 10) i finally released KDE 3.4.1 for Solaris 10, for both Intel/AMD and UltraSPARC-II. Both of them built with the Sun Studio 10 compilers. Yes, you can install Solaris 10 on an Intel based PC and run KDE 3.4.1 on it. Pentium IV minimum, or AMD. Or UltraSPARC-II minimum. Read More

OpenSolaris is here. :-) Check it out, it's really cool.

the Subject: line is very Zen-like. :-) i can hear the sound of my left hand clapping in the woods. Konsole for 3.4.1 was driving me nuts. it would crash every 3rd time i'd start it, but only on Solaris 10 x86, not on UltraSPARC. not the first time, and not the second time. only the third time, always in the same spot: Read More

Yes, it is going to happen soon. Very soon. OpenSolaris source code will become open. No, i can't tell you exactly when. :-) NDA and stuff ... Just stay tuned ... and keep reading my blog. :-D Read More

Here are some screenshots of KDE 3.4.1 running on Solaris 10 x86, built with SunStudio 10. This is going to by my next KDE release (along with the UltraSPARC build as well). Read More
