Isnt experimental inthe way you say it, the problem is that kde nows needs to be fixed due to this new cups, anyway to fix this edit the file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and replace the line (or put it as a comment): Listen /var/run/cups/cups.sock with the line: Listen localhost Then logout and voila, you have cups working again :)

If you have read kde install instructions in MDE website you wouldnt have this issues with kdm, still i didnt understand very well what you mean with "...patched to 3.5.3 from MDE..."

New kde-3.5.3 at the usual place www.mde.djura.org this is still a pre-release since the official kde-3.5.3 still wasnt announced.

New kernel available :) kernel-2.6.16 PS: only available for 32 bits, i will put the latest developments available for 64 bits from no on.

I think thac already uploaded a fixed kdemultimedia, since that one was build against polypaudio-0.8.1 but isnt possible to use this new polypaudio since there are too many packages based on polypaudio-0.7. Im also here to announce that are being uploaded about of 150 Mb of new software that goes from new avahi, dbus, hal, drakxtooks, rpm, etc, to new qt3 and new kernel-2.6.16 I hope all can enjoy it :)

Im aware of it, this caused by hal. In new hal i forgot to obsolet libhal0, so the correct hal will imply lot of new packages like new firefox, new gnome, screem, nvu, gnomemeeting, etc, and that will give much work, so unless help me on this i think i will remove all new packages hal dependant.

New set of drakxtools, freetype2 and new qt3-3.3.6. Now building new kde based on new qt3.

fixed

fixed

New packages available, new drakxtools packages, new akode, new alsa packages, new kdelibs, kdebase and kdemultimedia.

I advise you to use normal kernel instead the multimedia.

avahi-0.6.10 is out

Here you can find all kind of improved packages, like from kde-3.5.2, qt3, xorg-x11-6.9.0, all kind of multimedia packages like amarok, all kind of networking packages like dbus, avahi, firefox to brwose webpages, to chat you have KVirc, and also a new set of mandriva packages like hal, shorewall, firefox, etc. This is available at the usual place http://www.mde.djura.org You can directly access the rpms through: for 32 bits -> http://www.mde.djura.org/2006.0/RPMS/ for 64 bits -> http://www.mde.djura.org/2006.0_64/RPMS/ Please dont forget to first read intructions before doing anything.

Makes no difference. I'm Zé. Your welcome.

Website update with intro about install kde rpms.

You cant add a media inside other media, or you first add a media and then updated it, or before doing again urpmi.addmedia remove the media with urpmi.remove. However i have been seeing some problems regarding update media and this is due to a urpmi bug thats why we do advise smart, so when having problems when updating media, remove media and readd it. In fact makes no difference if you set ~/2006.0/RPMS or ~/2006.0/RPMS/ since urpmi is recursive. I have been seeing a crescent number of newbies (this is good since people start realize the shi* that windowzzz is) and i see that there a certain number of dificulties about upgrading kde, so ill see if i get some time to write a howto or intro about it. regards,

Many thanks :)

MDE of SoS??? Please this is too rude, SoS doesnt simply pass from cooker rpms build for Mandriva 2006.0, MDE rpms are good packages that are much more improved, with many fixes, with all correct dependencies, without packages that make no sense and so on, thats why you still get cooker packages without keyboard working... Please do not confuse them since MDE have nothing to do with the rest, you can check www.mde.djura.org I know i got a litle abset but dont take it personally :) kind regards,

Woudl care care to go back and i see what i have posted about that? would are to read the last post in wich i also said that this is fixed since kde-3.4.2 (refering to MDE kde packages of course), would you care to explain what MDE files have to do with mandriva files cooker or not?

You have noted what? from where? who? how? give me break... And again you know nothing, since kdmrc file from Mde has been fixed since 3.4.2, and only with you is that appears this crazy thing, i imagine what you hae done to get that, like for example mixing MDE files to others, this way you only get system breaked and you only not get anymore our support since we do advise about this. Take a good look to MDE kdmrc file and see if it doesnt have exactly what you say you have had. To put posts like these please dont, since you only teach newbies to get in troubles.

You can install kde-3.5.2 in mandriva 2006 and upgrade from kde-3.4.2 with rpmdrake or urpmi or the tool we advise that is smart However we do advise to first uninstall kde-3.4.2 and then install kde-3.5.2, this because when upgrading from 3.4.2 many times happens that appears some doubled menus but this is explained in our webpage.

When happens kde appears dependeding on files older than the installed ones that i assure you is due to the urpmi repo is not well updated, and that can happen when hdlist is generated when files are being uploaded, so wait more 15 minutes for hdlist be regenerated or simply download rpms to hd and create a local upmi media.

I really dont have a clue of what you did to put that happening, still can be a good idea to do rpm -Uvh --force kdebase-kdm since this way you will replace the existant kdmrc config file, when doing with urpmi it follows the specifications and for config rules, the policy is to not replace them and create a new one *.rpmnew. However you can just enter /etc/kde/kdm and erase kdmrc and just do urpmi kdebase-kdm Well you are free to use whatever distro you want.

This kind of problems are resolved since kde-3.4.2 MDE and in mandriva cooker they are still fighting for a solution, but this is only one of the severall problems that happens in mandriva and that in MDE are resolved and other things improved, so i dont really get why you insist in using kde from mandriva (being cooker or not).

This seams to be the kind os post to be in MDE topic, anyway i still havent understand whats your problem, you want to login in kde and you dont have that option in kdm? or you want to use the kdm login instead using the mde default?
