    ok...update menus -v didn't work, until I mv'd ~/.local/ and did it again.  Now my menu works!

     

    Anyone know how to add the 'Switch User' like command to the kmenu?  I know it's supposed to be there but mine doesn't have it

     

    Do you mean 'end session only'? Mine came back when I did the fix above.

     

    Can you explain in more detail, step-by-step stylee, what you did for the menus? It's driving me mad, I've got like 3 Homes!

     

    Hell, right now something seems subtly different every time I reboot. Still no sound (anyone?), but my mouse behaviour sorted itself out mysteriously at some point... :screwy:

    I reallly didn't know what to do about the second 'head' on original install, kinda didn't expect it to work so I just set it as Plug'n'Play (seemed safest, non-commital option). I haven't changed any settings since then.

     

    Looks like the X/login problem has been cracked over in the 'KDE3.4 RPMs' thread

     

    http://mandrakeusers.org/index.php?showtop...75entry176574

     

    So I'll just go try the fix there. However, even if that works, it still leaves me with no sound. Any ideas there?

    Ok, in exact steps. Login to kde however you can (drop into shell and startx, presumably). Open up a terminal.

     

    su

    *password*

    urpme mdkkdm

    urpme kdebase-kdm

    urpmi mdkkdm

     

    Reboot and everything *should* be fine. urpme is the command for uninstalling an rpm file.

     

    urpme kdebase-kdm seems to require removing a ton of deps as well (like most of KDE from what I can see).

     

    Is that normal / okay? Either way it's a PITA, but will try it, I guess <shrugs>.

    Hmmm.... having to be very careful now, as my mouse wheel now prefers to move me back and forth thru my Firefox history and between windows.

     

    To quote Sean Connery in The Last Crusade, "Our situation has not improved."

     

    The spare IDs are gone and the login has a very minimalist look now, but no other changes to report.

     

    Can't we hack some configfiles here or sumthin'?

    Cheers - Gonna reboot and see if anything happened. Here's what I got (did it twice for some reason):

     

    [root@localhost robin]# genkdmconf
Information: reading old xdm config file /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-config
Warning: cannot copy file /etc/X11/xdm/xdm-keys
[root@localhost robin]# genkdmconf
Information: reading old kdmrc /usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (from kde >= 2.2.x)
Information: old kdmrc is from kde >= 3.1 (config version 2.3)

    If I'm correct, KDE 3.3 is not yet part of 10.1 main or update mirrors.

     

    Good to hear the symptoms are quite similar across the board.

     

    - I have the login issue (have to Ctrl+Alt+Backspace 4 times to get a shell I can startx from)

     

    - I have the mangled menus (all the K stuff x2, most other stuff disparu). Konqueror also has two sets of nav buttons (same issue, different place?)

     

    Here's a fresh one - no sound. On login it's actually mute, and un-muting it in Kmix doesn't survive reboot.

     

    I remember a quite simple GUI settings fix that sorted this back in 10.0 - except I don't remember which bl**dy slider/button/whatever it was. Anyone?

    Here's the (WW) and (EE) entries from Xorg.0.log:

    Means nowt to me. Is X really the problem here? Where is the conf for the login dialog, for instance?

    Results:

     

    _XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTServerListeners: server already running

Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - make sure an X server isn't already running

Please consult the X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help.
Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.

     

    then the same bit as before.

     

    I haven't looked at the log yet, but I'll go and do that now.

     

    I'm pretty sure X is running, because when I Ctrl+Alt+F1, the shell has the graphical trimmings. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace doesn't have any noticeable effect.

     

    The 'Halt' button does actually work now, though. (Great...)

     

    What about the login box with all the system users displayed yet? Or the files 'not found'? Any info/ideas about those?

    Okay, here goes (same for both commands):

     

    Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
   If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock and start again.

   Please consult the X.Org Foundation support at http://wiki.x.org for help.

     

    Then it pauses for ~10sec and:

     

    Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key
giving up.
xinit: unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno:3): server error.

     

    I also noticed two other things in the initial startup:

     

    1) Starting mountd: No Mountpoints Defined

     

    2) (This was just before X kicked in so hard to read): something about 'master raw device /dev/rawctl' (I think)

    Hi all,

     

    I was installing KDE 3.4 from thac's RPMs (see here for details) and something went badly titsup.

     

    After installing the base, later I rebooted and did urpmi --auto-select. That's when things went wrong - or precisely, after the further 500MB of updates when I then rebooted.

     

    During boot, I noticed one obviously worrying line:

     

    mknod: '/dev/dri/card0': No such file or directory

     

    Everything else seems fine (I think) but when X starts, the login box contains not just my user, but all the other system accounts adm, apache, bin and so on - root as well.

     

    Trying to login as me (or root), just bounces me back to the same screen. The 'Reboot' and 'Halt' buttons have no response.

     

    I can drop to shell, login as either myself or root, and do everything as normal. So I guess it seems like an X-based problem. Oh, and I checked for the /dev/dri/card0 file, and it is there.

     

    Can anyone suggest which files I should be looking at to try and repair this?

     

    TIA :help:

    thac me, it works...!

     

    Umm, I never saw owt like the above. Perhaps that's only if you were using the default splash by default (I go for that cheeky 'Redmond' one myself :) )

     

    Mind you, the side-image on the KMenu (which didn't change when I upped to 3.3) is now looking appropriately show-offish. :banana:

     

    My custom taskbar buttons for Firefox and Tbird disappeared, and I'm not too sure about the MASSIVE tooltips for those buttons, but otherwise nothing blew up so I'm happy.

     

    Thac you very much.

     

    BTW - Knoppix3.7 (KDE3.3.2) has XP-style file info tooltips when you mouseover a file on desktop / in Konqueror. Me like. How to get?
