Re: KDE, Writing CD's, and Windows XP

I just did a fresh install of woody on my son's machine by using a 2.2r2 cd to install a base system, then apt-get upgrade then apt-get distupgrade. I then installed x-window-system along with icewm and eterm. So far so good. I then installed the kdebase packages and selected kde applications (plus some additional non-kde apps). The only things that show on the menu are packages that would be listed with a search on the packages page for descriptions using the search criteria kde. Even such as Gimp, eterm, xterm, don't appear. On my machine, the kdm log-in gives a choice of default, icewm, and failsafe. On the new install, only default and failsafe appear. I'm a debian newbie (migrated from Corel Linux about a year ago) and haven't a clue where to begin to figure this out. Any help would be appreciated. The machine is a 450 mhz, k6 with 128 mb ram. tia bob -- Forwarded Message -- Subject: kde virus-like menu masher Date: Tue, 20 Mar 2001 09:38:57 +1100 (EST) From: Nick Croft [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Debianites, Half the attraction of debian is the menu-update system which is activated by apt-get or relatives. I've been happily working away and using either WindowMaker Afterstep or E, mainly WindowMaker. On another machine I installed kde (kdebase_4%3a2.0.1-4) last December, and had no probs. Liked konqueror. Yesterday I put (on the main machine) kdebase 4:2.1.0.1-5 and other k packages. I found it to be very intrusive, rather like a M$ product. It took over my desktop immediately without giving me the option of changing to it. Then it rewrote my menus, apparently overriding the menu-update script, such that only k-* programs appeared in the menus. I restarted X back into WindowMaker and found I only had half a dozen options in the menu. I apt-got something to activate the menu-update thingy, (which I thought was supposed to find everything with a menu file) but still only had the k-approved items and the new one. Since then I've purged all kstuff, but the menus are no better. I've been rewriting /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu.hook _manually_, but I need to keep a copy of it because any further installs wipe it out and substitute the kversion of the menus. I've looked at the man pages for update-menus and menufile and read the /usr/doc/menu/html tutorial, but can't find the answer. Something seems to be overriding the system. I guess I can apt-get something, then use 'find' to see what's been moodified in the last 2 minutes and check that way. Sorry for the long ramble. Give kde the miss.
