devries Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Just use urpmi: urpmi.addmedia thacs.rpms http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/thac/10.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz And: urpmi kdebase That will give you a working kde install. After that you can install all the other packages kdemultimedia, pim edu etcetc. (You have ofcourse to restart kde with for example ctr-alt-backspace) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which command should I use now to upgrade to KDE 3.4? Edited April 4, 2005 by niti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 urpmi kdebase (and after that urpmi kdepim kdeedu kdemultimedia etcetc (have a look in the Mandrake control center to see all the packages) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuneJensen Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I installed KDE 3.4 by using the Kubuntu installation CD. http://www.kubuntu.org.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niti Posted April 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) I installed KDE 3.4 by using the Kubuntu installation CD. http://www.kubuntu.org.uk/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I dont use Kubuntu while there is Mandrake. Kubuntu just involves KDE. It has not control center for hardware analysis. Thanks Devries. Edited May 1, 2005 by niti Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daniewicz Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 It looks like the upgrade is looking for 10.2 rpms. I believe you have 10.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 Wrong urpmi repos- fix them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niti Posted April 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 I have 10.2 RC2. and repository is http://anorien.csc.warwick.ac.uk/mirrors/thac/10.2/RPMS with hdlist.cz Isnt it correct this repository? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 due to missing libarts1-1.4.0-5.mdk10.2.thac.i586 Arts should be auto-installed by urpmi... strange. Do urpmi arts before you do urpmi kdebase. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristi Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 hey, that's neat!!! but when I boot up it comes to this screen with a analog clock and a couple of boot choices, and a logon and a menu button and when I try to login, it clicks the monitor a few times and then clicks right back to the login screen. This could be because when I first tried to install this, I did it with the 10.1 link, not having read down far enough in the thread to realize there was also a 10.2 link. Naturally there were lots of errors on the 10.1 versoin, and then I put the 10.2 version in and that went smoothly. Anyway, i found I could menu,console login from that screen - I log in and then type kde and 3.4 comes up very nicely. Obviously I could re-install 10.2 rc2, but since I was cooker current that would take a bit, and expecting 10.2 final out imminately (wish I knew when - if it were more than a few days, I'd just redo 10.2rc2 and put it on correctly..... Thanks for your work and investigation in this!!! - sure is nice!!!!!!!! and any thoughts on how to fix the login loop bug... Kristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devries Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Sounds like a kdm problem. Try starting KDE from a terminal (when X hasn't started yet) by typing: startkde (or if that doesn't work by: kde) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristi Posted April 5, 2005 Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 (edited) Sounds like a kdm problem. Try starting KDE from a terminal (when X hasn't started yet) by typing: startkde (or if that doesn't work by: kde) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for the reply devries! I assumed I had hosed my system so I just now rebuilt it from 10.2rc2 and then made it cooker current, then did the stuff suggested above for 10.2 (went smoothly). But the same result. It comes to a logon screen with possible choices down the left and an analog clock and logon and menu buttons. I try to log in with either user or root but it just clicks the screen a few times and then bounces me back to the same screen. Fortunately the menu button offers me "console logon" which is just cli where I can log in and type kde and 3.4 comes up nice as you please. After the rebuild, on the first boot, I checked inittab and it said :5555: instead of :5: so I reset that. inittab looks okay. Maybe a prob in rc.sysinit or something. I think probably best not to worry about it since I can get in to 3.4, just not straight in. And 10.2 final will be along - better to shoot probs with that! One question: when you are then looking at MCC software install for other kde 3.4 stuff to install, what do you use for your search argument? "kde" Also, I tried doing urpmi kdepim kdeedu kdemultimedia and it asked me a few questions about which sound thing I wanted, then it said it couldn't install something because something was missing "(y,N)" I hit enter and it stopped. Maybe just rerun those? OH - I lost the thing in menu to start a new session (i.e. to start root while in user. ) Where is it??? tia Kristi 3.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Y/n) n <{POST_SNAPBACK}> once again check the required urpmi repositorys. you must have 5 of them 1.mandrake main 2.mandrake contrib 3. plf 10.1 free 4. plf non-free 5. thacs rpm if not there will be failed dependencys and yes kde-3.4.0 requires xorg-6.8.2 This post has been edited by thac: Mar 19 2005, 01:12 AM :just copied/paste from thacs post Edited April 5, 2005 by aioshin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
