Adding this line didn't work for me. Same error message.

And it works if opening that ksp file directly ?

If you try after running kspread.sh from a terminal, is there anything
interesting in the output ?

It's called kspread, not kpresenter ;-)

I doubt I'll be able to reproduce that.
Perhaps you could send me the files that do this ?

OK, here a kspread-bug:

Sorry it is not 100% reproducable, but in 1 of 3 times:
* Try to open a ".xls" file with kspread.
* work a little bit with the spredasheet
* Try to open a ".ksp" file

Got a similar report. :(
Try adding a line with "kbuildsycoca" after "kdeinit +kded" in
/opt/kde2/bin/kde2 and starting the app again from the K menu.

Looks like I'll have to fix that.

No, he's right, some parts of KDE require kdesupport, depending
on the libs shipped with the distro (kdesupport is only 3rd party libs).
Especially kdenetwork needs it, etc.
But not koffice, that's why there is no kdesupport2 in cooker ;-)

i _still_ prefer /usr/kde2!! maybe that could be a suggestion for the kde2
release rpm. what i'm suggesting, is that since kde is so big, we could have
a "root" for kde stuff. i.e. /usr/kde2/bin for binaries, /usr/kde2/sbin,
/usr/kde2/share, /usr/kde2/lib etc.

Sorry again! I was somehow confused that KOffice neeed KDE2, even though
as you said, you stated multiple times it did not, but again, I think we
were talking about kdelibs2, and not the entire K Destop Evnvironment v2.

Installed KOffice here too. Applications start, but they all crash (not only kspread,

Tell me if you need more info.

Yes, it is themed. But without kdebase2, you have no GUI for choosing
the theme ;-)
You can still try from the command line though.

source /opt/kde2/bin/kde2
cd /opt/kde2/share/apps/kstyle/themes
list the files in that directory, pick your theme, and then
settheme $PWD/themename.rc

Hmm, seems you need to log off and back in, though.

  Ok. I've just downloaded and install it.

Here's my first impressions:

  - It really looks like a complete suite, good,
  - Good overall works,
  - I don't like the widget set, but everybody knows that :)
 (I guess it is themable, isn't it? so this isn't a big deal...)

- The use of Tab with Enumerated list make Kword segfault.
  I know, it is not something we're supposed to use every day but it
  shouldn't SegFault.

 I've not gone any further for now.

David Faure, please don't take these as criticisms but merely as bug

They're not "better", they're different in that they don't provide a desktop
but an office suite, possibly for inclusion in 7.1.
KDE-2 is not ready to be used by "the masses", which is why it's not part
of it.
And I also like the fact that it finally proves that KOffice does NOT require
kde 2 (nor even kde 1). It's a complete office suite that can be run
under any window manager / desktop.

Ugh, sorry to bug you, but I'm leaving in a bit so be happy, but while I
have you, whatever happened to the high color icons in KDE 1.1 and
above... did Mandraker remove these? They really gave KDE a much nicer
look. And the netslc site appears to not have RPMS at this time, but I was
checking out some KDE 2 screenshots and saw the great high-color icons,
and that question sprung to mind.

Why are the cooker one's different... seeing how you are working for
Mandrake, and yours are "better", why not distribute yours in Mandrake

Also, if /opt is relocatable to /usr then that would work, or I could even

Here I am ;-)
No, I wouldn't recommend to get rid of KDE 1 if you use cooker's rpms
(of any KDE-1 application that is not part of the standard packages).
But if you download the whole lot of KDE-2 packages from www.nebsllc.com,
you can use it as your every day desktop (like I do).

Note that all KDE-2 packages (mine and nebsllc's) use /opt/kde2, so 
using both KDEs is no problem. See http://www.kde.org/kde1-and-kde2.html
for how to set up KDE 1 and KDE 2 for the same user (you can run apps
of one from the other, and you can even select in kdm which one to use
at login time).

Well, those packages are meant to run on KDE-1, so they don't include
kdebase2, kdenetwork2, etc.
If you want to test KDE-2.x, instead of using those packages, I would
recommend using those available on http://www.nebsllc.com instead.

Don't mix them - this stuff evolves quickly, so the dates of all packages
have to match exactly.

Yes, but the question remains. Can I replace (e.g. uninstall) KDE 1 and
install just KDE 2 in Cooker at this point and have things be happy? They
may require locating to add more standard location of /usr or maybe some
symlinks for compatibility, I don't know. As you said, David probably

Hello,

by the way, did some of you install the new Koffice packages just made
by David Faure?

You just have to download:

kdelibs2-1.89.2324-1mdk.i586.rpm  
koffice-1.89.2324-1mdk.i586.rpm  
qt21-2.1.0-0.3.1mdk.i586.rpm  

from cooker-contrib (for example from:
ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/contrib/RPMS/)

Install them (it won't break your current KDE install) and run:

kword.sh
kspread.sh
kpresenter.sh
killustrator.sh

Those are really good pieces of software, you can include a kspread
table under kword etc. If you can test those packages and report bugs
to the KOffice team (and especially to David Faure), this will speed
up the development of Koffice and maybe we can put it in Mandrake 7.1.

Greets,

Gael.

you need kdebase2 at least (and maybe kdesupport) - maybe David Faure
could tell us more precisely ;)

I've tested the whole new KDE2 recently and it's usable. Not 100%
stable, usable.

It was my fault for not explaining clearly. I meant that is does require
kdelibs 2 and qt 2.1 (beta). I know that you do not need kdebase to use
it, but I figure if I am going to have to download kdelibs and qt (pretty
big for me), that I would download kdebse2, but only if I could use it in
place of KDE 1, and that's what I wanted to know.

I don't see what would prevent you to test/install the above koffice
packages if you don't install KDE1!

You have:

KOffice
 ^
 |
Kdelibs2.0
 ^
 |
Qt2.1 (graphical toolkit)
 ^
 |
X11

AFAIK you can even test them just by running X without any
window-manager! (I wouldn't do it ;))

If I misunderstood please _either_:

- bash on me
- re-explain differently

Greets,

G.

Actually, that's my problem. I know they are not of good quality yet so
that they can be used as the man window manager (KDE 2) I mean, but I
would like to know if I have the option of NOT installing KDE 1, and just
installing KDE 2, as I don't have the diskspace for both. I have a feeling
that not installing KDE 1 is going to break the dependency for any KDE app
in Cooker at this point though :(
