kde 3.2 upgrade problem
This morning I performed a dist-upgrade going from 3.1.4 to 3.2, (in sid). I then noticed kde did not start from kdm but rather dumped me into twm. This I now know is simply due to kdm not defaulting to kde startup. Later while exploring 3.2 I attempted to delete a set of icons in kcontrol and immediately lost all icons on the desktop, applications, and panel. I tried a number of things including removing kde and reinstalling but to no avail. I did not purge the kde installation as I did not want to lose bookmarks, filter rules etc. Any thoughts on how to get my icons back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Paul Winkler
Re: kde 3.2 upgrade problem
Klaus, I discovered, (well not a real significant discovery), that you can use kdm - just click on menu-session type-kde, the kdm panel doesn't show that it will boot in kde but it does. As for my icons, they are still missing (sigh).they can't have gone far. Thanks.

I faced the same problem today. Installing gdm as window manager did the job for me - during the dpkg-configuration dialog I was able to choose between gdm and kdm as default window manager ...

Re: kde 2.2.x on potato (self compiled)
KDE 2.2.2 runs well compiled on Debian potato. Attached is a file of notes I made to help me remember the options. The login manager does not run since it requires some editing of the X startup files - which I do not have the patience to deal with - so I just type startx at the command line. Hope this helps. Paul Winkler Eckhard Lehmann wrote: Hi, has anyone got running a self compiled kde 2.2.x on a potato machine? I tried it out with ./configure --prefix=/usr/kde2.2.2 [...] The kdelibs and kdebase compiled fine, but now I can't start it. I set $KDEDIR to /usr/kde2.2.2 and wrote in $HOME/.xinitrc exec /usr/kde2.2.2/bin/startkde. Then I run startx and the splash appears. But when kde detects the connected devices this button on the splash is blinking very long time and after this the splash disappears. I can close the xserver only with C-A-Del, then I see the error message: [...] Could not dlopen library dcopserver.la: /usr/kde2.2.2/lib/dcopserver.so: undefined symbol: _KDE_IcePoMagicCookie1Proc _IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root DCOPServer up and running.

I can't really get on with this. Kde 2.1.2 from the debian packages works fine on my system. What is wrong? Do I have a chance to run kde 2.2.x on debian potato, in general?

If you care: 2.2 has a new tools kconf_update to fix incompatible config file changes (runs during session login). Real life examples are in /usr/share/apps/kconf_update/.

Kmail crashs upon receiving mail
One week ago kmail began to crash on me upon receipt of mail. I am using debian unstable with the latest kde via apt-get dist-upgrade. Everything else works very well. The mozilla mail client receives the mail ok. I have tried older versions of kmail but they too crash. I have tried kernel 2.2.18 and 2.4.9 with the same result. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Paul Winkler

Certificate Signing Authority is unknown or invalid
I recently upgraded to debian unstable (2.2.18) and kde 2.2 beta1. When connecting to my online banking account kde tells me - Certificate Signing Authority is unknown or invalid and refuses to process my requests. The upgrade was performed with apt-get dist-upgrade, and went amazingly well - no problems that I know of. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Paul Winkler
