hirohitosan Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Hi there. I tried to install java and a series of strange messages appear: Unpacking... Checksumming... Extracting...

What does the kbuildsycoca doing? Thanks [moved from Software by spinynorman] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 I vaguely remember seeing such messages a few times when installing stuff, but never had any problems with my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So ... should I leave it like this? No worries? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 So ... should I leave it like this? No worries? :) It depends on what you did. Your initial post is hardly informative. Where the java binaries go? Maybe /opt/javasomething/bin ? If so, you must add this /bin directory to your system PATH, else java applications will not be able to initialize java properly.

Steve Scrimpshire Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 You should see the exact same messages in the console if you type, for example, kwrite into the console to run it. They are annoying, but irrelevant. If you would've been running a DE besides KDE, you would not have seen these messages most likely unless you try to run a KDE app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Yes, you can safely ignore them, they aren't causing you any problems - it's safe to leave it as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
