Tips for KDE 3.4 and Gnome 2.10?

[Phantom]

I'm looking into upgrading to either or both Gnome 2.1O and KDE 3.4.

 

My last KDE 3.4 upgrade went wrong (couldn't login) so this time I'm looking first for some advice ;)

 

I have my URPMI sources updated with those of Thac so I can start the upgrade from there.

 

Should I remove KDE 3.3 first, if yes, do I do that through the packetmanager ?

 

Is there anything I did wrong last time that I couldn't login in KDE anymore ?

 

Are there already some URPMI sources for Gnome 2.10 ?

 

Shoot me if I ask to many questions :woops:

You should first do a telinit 3, login as root, remove 3.3 completely using "urpme" and then install 3.4 via "urpmi". After that, telinit 5 and login.

If you have problems you might have to move the old ./kde directory on your /home/phantom (or create a new user).

Thanks a lot

 

I guess it would be the same for GNOME, URPME GNOME ?

 

Anyway, I'm waiting with Gnome until I see some packed version showing up, I guess the RPM's for Fedora3 won't be any good on MDV 2005LE ?

Ok I have it installed and I must say it's nice

 

But..now I need to start pc -> Kill X -> log on as user and type StartX

 

1. Sometimes keyboard is gone

2. It accepts the logon but comes back to the logon screen

3. sometimes the only thing it will start is Failsave, and I noticed the option for KDE or Gnome isn't there.

 

i tried doing a config of KDM and setting up an auto logon but that didn't help.
