MadSad Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 Thac... what about an update for kopete?? in order to fix the new msn bug?? I know there are some fixed packages at : http://nusclyk.free.fr/mandriva10.2/i586/ but since kopete depends on kdenetwork... and those packages are singed as kde3.3.2 I'm not sure if I can install them without further problems.

thac Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I have just recently found the cause of the kdm bug making it impossible to login using kdm no keyboard and such. It is now fixed in latest versions. It was caused by the fact the upgrading kdebase-kdm-config-file didnt replace the existsing 3.3.x config files. This bug is present in the official kde-3.4 at the club also. Since the fix in rpm only works on a fresh upgrade. So if you have upgraded and have this problem you will have to unistall with rpm -e --nodeps kdebase-kdm-config-file as root in console after have sent init 3 to shutdown kde or reboot. and the reinstall with urpmi kdebase-kdm-config-file then restart kde with init 5 or reboot.

AussieJohn Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) This is a follow up to Thacs post on the kdm3.4 login problem. I already had a second Mandriva2005-LE set up for experimenting purposes. so I decided to exactly follow his recommended procedure for deleting kdebase-kdm config-file of kde3.3 and updating with the kde3.4 version. After successfully completing this phase I then did the rest of the kde3.4 packages and am happy to state that it is all now working well with NO logging in problems using kdm of kde3.4. Thanks Thac. Cheers. John. Edited July 26, 2005 by AussieJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 When trying to do urpmi kdebase for me, it says, some packages cannot be installed: kdeartwork-3.4.0-11.mdk10.1.thac.i586 (due to missing libkdebase4-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586) kdebase-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586 (due to missing libkdebase4-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586) kdebase-konsole-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586 (due to missing libkdebase4-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586) kdebase-progs-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586 (due to missing libkdebase4-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586) libkdebase4-3.4.0-22.mdk10.1.thac.i586 (due to unsatisfied libraw1394.so.5) Continue? Is this going to be a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Check if you have your urpmi properly configured, i.e., deactivated your cd sources and activated all easy urpmi sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well, I deactivated jpackage and updates, because that's what Thac said to do earlier. "To use this correctly, only use main contrib and plf." Should I add them anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Yes it's going to be a problem. Fortunately the solution is very simply. Just setup your urpmi repositories correctly (read the faqs on this board), open a console, login as root and type: urpmi.update -a. That should be it. PS: this is KDE for Mandrake 10.1. Are you using that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aomighty Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 (edited) Nah, I'm using Mandriva LE2005 (the free version). Can I not use Thac's RPMs and should just wait for an official update to KDE? I'm currently running 3.3.2. Edited July 29, 2005 by Ao the Unstoppable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Better use the le2005 rpms :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aomighty Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Cool, thank you Thac! I'm not gonna use them at the moment, cuz I don't want to risk hurting things, but I might in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
