What is #kde ?
A channel for KDE developers to discuss current hot topics. If your question is not related to KDE development, please go to #kde-users.
I have a problem with KDE.
Remember, this is a channel for KDE developers. If you want assistance, you had better make sure of these things:
  • You have tried your best to diagnose the problem yourself.
  • You are willing and able to work with developers in order to diagnose (and maybe fix) the problem.
  • Your KDE is compiled from source with debugging symbols enabled.
If one of these doesn’t apply, try, #kde-users, read the See the KDE FAQ, file a bug report at the KDE bug database or check the KDE mailing list archives.
I am just learning C++/Qt/KDE and I’d like to find a book to help me. Can you suggest any ?
See The KDE books list.
I forgot to mention, I’m logged in as root.
Never run KDE as root. Log off, log back on as a normal user, and check the permissions on all your files to ensure that none are owned by root.
What’s the best text editor / IDE for developing with KDE ?
Most KDE core developers use either XEmacs or Vim. Many people writing their own apps use KDevelop.
I can’t find documentation for (insert KDE component here).
Find the source code in CVS. You should find a README and/or a DESIGN file in the directory where the source lives.
