neutro Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 I'm using MDK 9.1 and recently applied updates for the KDE 3.1 packages. I'm currently running: - kdebase-3.1-83.5mdk - kdelibs-3.1-58.3.91mdk - kdeutils-3.1-9mdk to name a few. Well since that update, I noticed that three things seems to be broken. First, SFTP access with Konqueror. Typing "sftp://username@servername" in the URL bar of Konqueror always worked; now I wait for a while and get a pop-up window with the following error: Unexpected SFTP error: 2 - KonquerorError encountered while talking to ssh and then a blank page with "Could not connect to host localhost". However I assure you that ssh and sftp are working properly as I can use them from the command line. Second, kghostview: I am able to see previews for PDF or PS files in Konqueror, but when I open them in kghostview, it waits forever with a blank page (wristwatch icon). On the side I get the markers for the pages but nothing get displayed. I can open the PDF's fine with acroread, but I was begining to find kghostview superior... Third, KDE keeps forgetting file associations. Not immediately, but now and then, I would double-click on an open-office file and KDE wouldn't know what to do with it, even if I always enter the right path to the binary and check "remember this association". Those problems are present even under new users so it's probably not a profile issue. Anyone has a clue about what is going on? I tried reinstalling those packages, but no change was observed. Is my only hope installing a newer version of Mandrake? I'm not sure if reverting back to the original 9.1 packages for KDE is a wise thing...

chris z Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 where'd you get the updates from? an mdk update source? hmmmm....... i'm on mdk9.2 using kde3.1.3. my versions of the kde packages you listed are..... kdebase-3.1.3-79.1.92mdk kdelibs-common-3.1.3-35.1.92mdk kdeutils-3.1.3-20mdk you don't have the complete package versions listed. unless somebody comes up with something else, you might wanna try this........... go to mcc->remove software & remove the updates. then, go right into install software & install those packages from the mdk9.1 cd's & see if you still have the same problems. if not, then the updates are indeed screwing up KDE somehow.
