daniewicz Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 (edited) I recently installed 10.1 with KDE 3.2. If I select More Applications/Documentation/KDE Help Center I get a hard-lock. If I run khelpcenter from the CL I get the message: main template file name is empty. If I run man from konqueror I get a hard-lock. I am thinking that I didn't install some help related rpms during the installation. Can anyone direct me to the files I am missing?

Steve Scrimpshire Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I really doubt you forgot to install something. I get the template error, too, but khelpcenter goes on to run fine. I can't testify to the menu item, because i do not use KDE, but man runs completely fine for me from konqueror. I use kde-3.3 though. Can you run konqueror from a console and then run man in it and see if there is an error aside from your ordinary kde/qt errors that one gets every time one launches a QT app? You may also want to try the repair script that's pinned in Tips and Tricks. I happen to know the guy who cobbled it together and he's a great guy.

daniewicz Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Thanks for the reply Steve. I ran your script (heh, I had not thought to do this before :o) This is what I see in notonmirrors libxorg-x11-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.1.101mdk xorg-x11-server-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk kdebase-common-3.2.3-134.7.101mdk xorg-x11-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk glibc-devel-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk This is what I see in missing_files.list missing c /root/.Xdefaults missing c /root/.bash_logout missing c /root/.bash_profile missing c /root/.bashrc missing c /root/.cshrc missing c /root/.tcshrc missing c /root/.vimrc missing /root/tmp missing /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 missing /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 missing c /etc/default/useradd missing /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a missing /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/encodings.dir missing /usr/share/wallpapers/mandrake-linux missing /var/spool/at/spool missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/encodings.dir missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/encodings.dir missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/encodings.dir missing /boot/kernel.h-2.6.8 So kdebase-common-3.2.3-134.7.101mdk has missing files but isn't on the mirror I am using?

daniewicz Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I noticed I can't even run "Configue Your Desktop". This was NOT happening when I first installed several days ago. Maybe one of the updates I installed has hosed things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Steve: I have decided to give you the output from the console as well, since there were error messages regarding wget missing c /root/.Xdefaults missing c /root/.bash_logout missing c /root/.bash_profile missing c /root/.bashrc missing c /root/.cshrc missing c /root/.tcshrc missing c /root/.vimrc missing /root/tmp missing /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 missing /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 missing c /etc/default/useradd missing /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a missing /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libglx.a missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/75dpi/encodings.dir missing /usr/share/wallpapers/mandrake-linux missing /var/spool/at/spool missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/encodings.dir missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/encodings.dir missing /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Type1/encodings.dir missing /boot/kernel.h-2.6.8 rootfiles-9.1-1mdk /home/steve/Scripts/repairmdk: line 37: wget: command not found libxorg-x11-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk libxorg-x11-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk does not exist on the mirrors! shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.1.101mdk shadow-utils-4.0.3-8.1.101mdk does not exist on the mirrors! xorg-x11-server-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk xorg-x11-server-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk does not exist on the mirrors! xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk xorg-x11-75dpi-fonts-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk does not exist on the mirrors! kdebase-common-3.2.3-134.7.101mdk kdebase-common-3.2.3-134.7.101mdk does not exist on the mirrors! at-3.1.8-11mdk /home/steve/Scripts/repairmdk: line 37: wget: command not found xorg-x11-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk xorg-x11-6.7.0-4.2.101mdk does not exist on the mirrors! glibc-devel-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk glibc-devel-2.3.3-23.1.101mdk does not exist on the mirrors!

Gowator Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Did you instal KDE from source or from the Mandrake RPM...? mandrake seriously mess up the KDE control centre to stop it duplicating the wizards ? however if its from RPM you can try urpme kcontrol and urpmi kcontrol and see if it fixes it? also try updating your urpmi sources ...

daniewicz Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 I installed KDE as part of my 10.1 installation. Not sure how that relates to the answering of your first question. I updated my urpmi sources just moments ago. I will try your suggested urpme and urpmi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Gowator: I ran urpme kcontrol and urpmi kcontrol after booting in failsafe mode. It seems to have fixed "Configue Your Desktop"(kcontrol). Thanks. I still have my other problem: if I select More Applications/Documentation/KDE Help Center I get a hard-lock.

daniewicz Posted March 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 Well, I didn't have a significant amount of time invested in this new install, so I am just going to reinstall. This will give me a chance to apply the patch on that new NVidia driver before I install it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniewicz Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Just an update. It turns out my problem was with the new 7167 NvVIDIA driver. After reinstalling MDK 10.1, I experienced no problems until 7167 was reinstalled. With 7167 installed, my khelpcenter problems returned immediately. After patching 7167 (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=47405) my problems seem to have disapperaed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
