Well, no. I have seen threads here recently concerning people who'd lost the Debian submenu, which is why I asked about that (and was hoping you'd say that was what it was); but I haven't seen anything about losing the whole thing. However, there's too much traffic here to see it all; if you haven't searched the archives of this list (and the debian-kde list, too, while at it) I really recommend doing so. It's quite possible that this question has been answered sometime not too long ago. And you might try #debian-kde on FreeNode if none of those pan out. I just did a quick look at the Debian KDE wiki and didn't see anything useful. My point in asking you what you've tried (and pointing you at ESR's "How to Ask Smart Questions") was to encourage you to try these things yourself and tell us what happened. That way, maybe you find the problem on your own; but if you don't, we know what you've tried. I can't begin to count the number of times I've put 10-15 minutes into a response to someone's problem, only to find that the time was wasted because they'd already tried what I was suggesting. -c -- Chris Metzler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (remove "snip-me." to email) "As a child I understood how to give; I have forgotten this grace since I have become civilized." - Chief Luther Standing Bear --Signature=_Mon__3_May_2004_12_26_10_-0400_1WAmK3lqQE_vp=wI Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAlnKqEqzZtgaaqqERAmOrAJ9oFZoVvLg72AprHeM40DPy97q3BQCglbWx /ibn28lpH+sMgSFkTjsCYfc= =+uIu -END PGP SIGNATURE- --Signature=_Mon__3_May_2004_12_26_10_-0400_1WAmK3lqQE_vp=wI-- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: KDE upgrade troubles
Actually, I was wrong. Upgrading kde while in kde makes no difference. Did a fresh install, upgraded kde to unstable in wmaker, same problem. Broken pipe, can't install kdelibs. Then I lose my entire kde menu, except for a couple of things. No programs. --- Thomas Pomber <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've got the same problem.

Are you saying that the "Debian" submenu is empty, or that the *entire* KDE menu is gone? Also, can you describe what you've tried to solve this problem, what sources of information (e.g. Google, the archives of this list, the Debian KDE wiki, etc.) you've tried? You might wanna look at: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html particularly the "Before You Ask" section; it'll dramatically help your chances of getting a correct and useful response.

Re: KDE upgrade troubles
I've got the same problem. Mine says it can't install kdelibs because of a broken pipe. Maybe I shouldn't upgrade kde while I'm in kde anymore. --- Jonathan Melhuish <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I'm running Debian unstable both on my laptop at > home and my desktop at > work.
