My bad, i thought i had remembered something for once.

It seems a lot of people have been having the problem, been doing a bit of search KDE3.4 logon isn't working 100%. I guess i'll wait for an update rather than going back to 3.3, i can still login. Thanks for your help anyway.

When i try to do "urpmi --auto-search --auto", it comes up saying "Unknown option: a".

It's 10.1 Official. I'm trying 3.4. I did the upgrade using urpmi. When you say sources, do you mean the address or the type? I'm using all the sources (update,jpackage etc)

Auto login doesnt work, and when i do enter the information (username & password) but it just refreshes and goes back to the login screen

no files are listed, will try the login again now.

Yes, just takes longer to log on but i can live with that. I'm going to see if the autologin works after the update. The auto login stays enabled but it doesnt auto logon

I have done the the urpmi update. And the same 5 come up everytime even though i have done what you said. /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc.rpmnew /etc/kde/kdeglobals.rpmnew /etc/nsswitch.conf.rpmnew /etc/mime.types.rpmnew /etc/qtrc.rpmnew

It won't autologin. And the keyboard problem persists. Could it be a problem in the package that i installed?

Did init 3 and logged on and started X again. I have turned on the auto login, so the problem shouldn't persist. I'll try a reboot to make sure it works properly.

I will do that now. I did find this site, which has the same problem. But they didn't fix it either.

No luck. Is there anyway i can do what i said, i think it could work but dont know how to do it. When i type $LANG, is it supposed to come up with command not found? en_GB: command not found

Didn't work. I tried to logon through the terminal, but that didnt work as i couldn't load kde as it's already open with the logon screen. Is there anyway that i can unload kde in terminal? This way i could logon and set to auto logon as there is only 1 user.

I eventually managed to do ctrl + alt + f1 after restarting the X-server. The keyboard was fine en-GB, and i managed to logon fine. So i did slocate, and theres came up: /etc/kde/kdm/kdmrc.rpmnew /etc/kde/kdeglobals.rpmnew /etc/nsswitch.conf.rpmnew /etc/mime.types.rpmnew /etc/qtrc.rpmnew

I updated kde, and now i cant login. When typing my password sometimes something gets typed in, other times nothing happens. I think i may have selected the wrong keyboard. How can i change this without the ability to login??

I have fixed it, just installed random mandrake things through urpmi and its fixed it.

Some programs are not opening. Amarok, Kaffeine, even the software removal (rpmdralke) wont open. Although some programs are fine, like firefox, open office etc.

With urpmi i get v1.0 preview. Whereas the latest version is 1.04.

Works by doing it through konsole. Installs and runs fine. But still doesnt install through kde by using installer. It's a different version too.

Not 100% how i would do that without looking at it as i'm in windows at the moment, so i'll have a go later on.

I installed in the home directory, deleted it and the installer wont run. I downloaded the installer again still no luck. When i launch the installer, i press Forward, then the installer just closes with no warning.

Just tried installing again but won't install. I did a lot of updates, in fact i think i did them all. So i take it that one of these are the problem or many of them.

Firefox has stopped working all of a sudden, have tried rebooting to no success. It stopped loading so i rebooted, after reboot i tried running it to which it came up with the quality feedback screen. I went through that and tried to load firefox again. But it just says its loading in the toolbar and then disappears.

All done and working, thanks a lot.

Seems i have no plf-free or plf-nonfree, ill do them again
