Hmpf. I don't understand what the problem is.
I am running Mandrake 7.1 (kindof a 7.2 hybrid). Here are the kde rpms
installed:
kdesupport-2.0-1mdk
kdenetwork-devel-2.0-1mdk
kdesupport-devel-2.0-1mdk
switchdesk-kde-1.7.1-13mdk
kde-themes-0.3-4mdk
kde1-compat-1.1.2-7mdk
kdebase-devel-2.0-6mdk
kdemultimedia-devel-2.0-4mdk
kdegraphics-devel-2.0-4mdk
kdeaddutils-devel-2.0-3mdk
kdelibs-sound-2.0-4mdk
kdelibs-sound-devel-2.0-4mdk
kdepim-2.0-1mdk

kdeutils-2.0-2mdk
kdenetwork-2.0-1mdk
kdegraphics-2.0-4mdk
kdelibs-2.0-4mdk
kdebase-2.0-6mdk
qt-1.44-24mdk
qtcups-devel-1.0-14mdk
qt-qgl-1.44-15mdk
qt2-2.2.1-1mdk
qt-qimgio-1.44-15mdk
qtcups-1.0-14mdk
qt-devel-1.44-15mdk
qt2-devel-2.2.1-1mdk
With this, I can start kde. KDM is fine. As root I get a host of functional
icons on my desktop. The drive icons, on my system for DOS_hda1, DOS_hdb6,
and Zip (/mnt/zip -> /dev/sda4) work fine for root in ALL respects. I can
browse the volumes, I can right-click and select "properties" from the popup
menu and get the properties window.
As a user, however, I can browse DOS_hda1 and DOS_hdb6 without problem. The
zip drive, however, wont mount. Instead I get an error amount filesystem
type, yadda yadda. The icon is also wrong for the zip. I wanted to check
the settings on this kdelnk and change the icon. I right-click on the icon,
select "properties" and that promptly freezes kfm. No more wm refreshes. I
can no longer bring up menus by right-clicking or middle clicking on the
desktop. I can still use the panel and any app I have open.
I logout and login again and all is working. I then right-click on DOS_hda1,
select "properties" as an experiment. Same thing. kfm freezes and I lose the
wm. Same thing if I do this with DOS_hdb6 or CDROM.
There are no error messages anywhere that I can find. Dr Konqi doesn't come
up with debug messages. I DON"T UNDERSTAND!!!
I also find that I am missing kappfinder. It is nowhere on my system yet I
am told it is part of kdebase. What the fuh..?
