Since I upgraded to 9.04 I've been having trouble installing programs the easy way.
Back in 8.04 (KDE3), the Add/Remove program was easy, you can easily identify the software you need & simply click it & install it without having to worry about dependencies & other issues. (It was just ready to be run & have icon in the menu).
That's not the case with "KPackageKit"
I had trouble installing "VLC", when you search for "vlc" you get few results that you do not know what do you really need to install, same case with other applications.
I had to:
There seem to be a bug as well, because when you specify a category to search within e.x "games", then search "Firefox" it displays all packages not results within "games". (I know, your thinking why is he searching "Firefox" within games?! It should not display "Firefox" but it does, because it leaves the category specified by the user).
The idea is you cannot search within the category you want, that's one thing. And you cannot easily install packages as you could before in the add/remove in KDE3.
I'm sorry, but I really hate it : (
I prefer the previous (Add/Remove) & (Adept Manager) each alone, where you can easily install applications through (Add/Remove) & can search for specific applications in (Adept Manager) that you wouldn't find in (Add/Remove).
Anyone noticed this?
And is there any other easy way to easily install software as before?
