Re: install a kde app on ubuntu

I really feel that KDE have some good handy tools.

I was also trying K3B the CD burning software on ubuntu
which did not started in GNOME environment.

How did you install it? If you installed it from the Ubuntu archives it
should have worked.

$ sudo apt-get install k3b

I can verify that the above line works. K3b is the one kde application I
can't let go of after switching to gnome when dapper came out.



Can anyone suggest any reference where GNOME and KDE are
compared.

I'd just Google it if I were you. Frankly I can't imagine an unbiased
comparison anywhere (although Wikipedia might have one.. I don't know).
Most fans of either are die-hards and love to tell people why one is
better than the other. :-)

I'm an exception. I like and use both. ;-)



I've used both too. In fact, before dapper, I always used kde. Here's my
take. Both are very good, and reliable. I can't detect any speed
differences, although a bunch of people say they do. I think the
argument is that gnome is faster. I haven't detected that, and in fact I
might have heard at some point someone say (online) that kde is faster
for them! I feel like basic configuring of most applications is easier
under KDE, since a bunch of the configuring under gnome is done with
gnome-conf-edit, which is less intuitive. But, I also think that
everything that can be configured under kde can be configured under
gnome, and maybe gnome lets you configure more, if you know exactly
where to look.

The one thing that made me switch to gnome was that, at least after
dapper, hibernating and suspending my IBM laptop worked with default
setups, which was never the case with KDE (I could get it to work under
kde, but I would need to tinker with stuff first).
