mmodem Posted February 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 However, there is one more -devel package I cannot remove -- liblua5-devel-5.0.2-7mdk. # rpm -ev liblua5-devel error: Failed dependencies: liblua.so is needed by (installed) libkdecore4-3.5.1-12.mdk2006.0.mde.i586 liblualib.so is needed by (installed) libkdecore4-3.5.1-12.mdk2006.0.mde.i586 -- Thanks again - CarLash Now you can remove liblua-devel without any probs, i have managed to fix libkdecore with an exceptions :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffi Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) I´d like to change the k menu icon and the login screen background but can´t find the option (or rather the option under login manager doesn´t seem to work) Edited February 25, 2006 by ffi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solarian Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 Do that manually, the kde icon is in /usr/share/icons/crystalsvg (or /usr/share/icons/default) login screen background is -> /usr/share/mdk/backgrounds/default.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I still get this: # rpm -ev liblua5-devel error: Failed dependencies: liblua.so is needed by (installed) libkdecore4-3.5.1-13.mdk2006.0.mde.i586 liblualib.so is needed by (installed) libkdecore4-3.5.1-13.mdk2006.0.mde.i586 I think I can live with this one devel package installed. Thanks again for your work making KDE 3.5.1 available. CarLash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmodem Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Weird, i did put a require exceptions for those lua files...hummm i must see further. Even so you can uninstall liblua-devel with rpm -e --nodeps liblua-devel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

solarian Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 (edited) Just copy over the existing icon/wallpaper your desired one (keep the same filename). Edited February 26, 2006 by solarian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest justin_p Posted March 5, 2006 Report Share Posted March 5, 2006 I am a Mandriva newby but 4 year linux user. I have to say that the system is great. I did the upgrade from 2006.0 , KDE 3.4.2 to 3.5.1 lastnight. Completely painless. I added the repo to urpmi, then logged into ICEwm. I opened up config>packaging>remove sotware to completely remove kde. I then went through the install software function to add the new versions. Everything worked. Thanks for the hardwork.

mmodem Posted March 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) Just copy over the existing icon/wallpaper your desired one (keep the same filename). If doing like you said the MDE icon or walpaper will be overwritten and we do not want to give instructions on how to change any thing in MDE, this was all changed in kde source code to prevent this kind of things and also changed the deault names. And the instructions u told will not do what the other guy wants cause one thing is mandriva settings and other is mde settings that are done differently from how madriva does them. Please DONT give more instructions on how to change MDE defaults (even being wrong instrutions), else im forced to reenforce how MDE defaults are set and certanly you dont want that...

solarian Posted March 11, 2006 Report Share Posted March 11, 2006 (edited) Whatever you wish. p.s. I have removed and don't use standart k-menu through icon-click in KDE :P p.p.s. He, who seeks, shall find anyway. p.p.p.s. Why wrong? Works for me. Location may be different, but those are not really hidden like windblows system files. ---------- Here, took 30 seconds to find: else im forced to reenforce how MDE defaults are set and certanly you dont want that... Oh, I've shit my pants now, so scared :ph34r: One of the reasons I use Linux is that I can customise it to my needs and, if your background or icon doesn't blend in with my overall GUI style and colours, I won't use it.

Oh, I've shit my pants now, so scared :ph34r: Did i wanted to scare anyone? Wich this kind of comments you have just gain support deny from now on to your questions. You need to learn be more polite and have a litle more education. One of the reasons I use Linux is that I can customise it to my needs and, if your background or icon doesn't blend in with my overall GUI style and colours, I won't use it. Yes thats one the linus goodies but i asked to not instruct other users to change MDE settings, we had many work, spend many hours doing it, else we wouldnt do any MDE theme. I will not change how icons and walpapers are set, all users can have like they want, but remember if things exist its because theres a reason.
