NecroScumBag Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 After installing Wine 08-13-2003 rpm build that comes with MDK 9.2 as well as the Util rpm and the two libs that it automatically install for dependants. After install it said it was complete. But I lost almost all my functionality in KDE 3.1. As well as like my home and cd icon does not work. Also I lost like all my multimedia programs and my terminals in KDE as well as the start menu.. I lost half the default menus there like the config to access the control panel of KDE. OK, Since I have to access to anything. I have also tried failsafe and still nothing. Did I kill my install of MDK 9.2. And do I have to reinstall the OS again.

tyme Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 as root run: update-menus that should get your menu back. the icons you can add back manually by right clicking on the desktop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecroScumBag Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 How do I do that? I have no RUN and no terminals. Nothing to access the shell or the command line of my linux system. I launch ever program to reconfirm this is correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyme Posted February 27, 2004 Report Share Posted February 27, 2004 ctrl-alt-f1 will take you to a text login screen. login as root. use "exit" to log out when you're done. press ctrl-alt-f7 to go back to the GUI, logout and log back in. menu should have entries once again.

NecroScumBag Posted February 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2004 Will I be able to use these steps even if I have KDE 3.1 to auto login into my user account. Just remembered that. Thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michel Posted March 5, 2004 Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 Don't you can just press "alt+F2" in kde to get a single command-line-rule? Pressing a command like xterm will bring up a terminal. If you xterm installed. Don,'t know how the kde-terminal is called ... anyway good you got it working again. I even think that if you run update-menus as a normal user (your own normal user account ...) you don't have to logout and login again...
