Re: [Cooker] Latest KDE3 on contrib
Le mer 01/05/2002 à 22:02, PlugHead a écrit : The latest KDE3 rpms (under contrib) seem to have an issue. Last night, I did rpm -Fvh kde* from my local contrib mirror (rsync from proxad.net--currently kde*3-3.0-18mdk.) After doing so, I did a re-boot and tried to log in. What I got was a pretty blue screen, with a mouse pointer and not much else. Same problem here. Blue desktop, no mouse menu. etc. I tried several things, including update-menus (which gave some strange error messages like ServiceTypes= and MimeType= ... not found.) Nothing seemed to work, except that logging in as root worked fine. Once it ocurred to me, the fix was fairly simple. mv .kde/.kde3 to a new location and run kde3 (startkde3 did not work), Not working for me. -- Luc Roseberry Consultant Tivoli certifié / Certified Tivoli Consultant Facilité Informatique Canada
Re: [Cooker] KDE3 WHAT A MESS
Le jeu 04/04/2002 à 09:29, Joe Simon a écrit : Just installed Mandrake's KDE3 packages. This must be the worst yet! 1) No menu's. When login from select KDE3 not KDE. 2) Installed in /opt rather than /usr (KDE2 is in /usr). The packages are not relocatable. What if someone does not have fs /opt or enough space on / ? When running rpm command I got an error not enough space on / so I moved /opt/kde3 (in fact just the kde3 directory and contents) to another file system then made a link in /opt to /NewLocation/kde3. After that every rpm command (re-running the last failed rmp command) succeeded. Now KDE3 is running just fine with some minor problem (I am using it and Evolution to write this message). Used the most updated rpm packages. See www.pclinuxonline.com particularly for arts. Is this just a Mandrake problem or KDE problem? Neither.

Re: [Cooker] desktop entries for floppy and cdrom are weird in KDE
I have exactly the same here. As it is an upgrade from 8.2b4 to 8.2rc1 I don't know if it is a bug from rc1 or b4. Also there is some problems with fstab and mounting file systems at boot time.

CD-ROM1 has a selection on it's menu for mount, and the third properties tab is Device (which I think is what it's supposed to be, no?), which points to /dev/cdrom1 and mounts at /mnt/cdrom1.

Re: [Cooker] KDE3 in SuSe8.0 as off 22 April

Until late last year I was a SuSE user, so I can't speak from MDK experience, but I can tell you what went on over in the SuSE community. When KDE 2 came out, there was an tremedous amount of disappointment that SuSE hadn't delayed 7.0 for KDE 2. Yes, it worked better for the company to release it ahead of KDE 2, but it was a pain for anyone on a low-band connection (or anyone who was uncomfortable installing KDE) to upgrade later on. The net result? SuSE obviously got such an onslaught of unhappy people that this time around they are waiting for KDE 3. Frankly, there isn't that much that has come out since Mandrake 8.1 that is nearly as exciting as the prospect of KDE 3. Mandrake needs money but it will not be mine as I will not buy 8.2 without KDE3 (not after buying 7.2 and 8.0). Yes I can download it but it is a pain in the neck to install from multiple rpm files.
