I did the urpmi --update --auto --auto-select it upgraded all of my kde apps above. I then tried to run kcontrol it crashed immediately Same error as before that it could not communicate with the DCOPserver then I did rpm -e qt3 qt3-common and then I did rpm -Uvh libqt3-3.1.1-8mdk.i586.rpm Libqt3-common-3.1.1-8mdk.i586.rpm the I ran kcontrol again from the command line and it worked. Don't know but near as I can tell for my hardware etc. qt3 is hosed. James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] Question on KDE
Did you '--force --nodeps' the install?? if so you may need to find a dependency. Or try XFdrake. it may reset something that was broken in the configs with the upgrade.

Re: [expert] Question on KDE
Sorry, no guru here so no idea too :-(( But... when I want to open a full kde2 environment through command I do: 1) kwin & (window manager) 2) kdeinit & (some basic kde stuff) 3) kicker & (panel bar) 4) kdesktop & (obvious) Might be this solves about missing render...

[expert] Question on KDE
All, I've suddenly lost kde It won't start anything and the only error I get is a core dump. It happened when I upgraded to the latest 3.1 kdm kcontrol nothing will start. But if I switch (and I did ) to gdm ...everything but kde runs. So I removed all of kde... all of qt all the dot files ... and still the same thing. No errors just a core dump. Next I tried to start it from a command line (kcontrol) I get possible errors. Well they are errors just that it's possible they may indicate something. Xlib: extension "RENDER" missing on display ":0.0". DCOP aborting call from 'anonymous-12856' to 'kcontrol' ERROR: KUniqueApplication: DCOP communication error! Now the Xlib error should indicate that I don't have font aliasing working ok... it works elsewhere but for the moment ok and shouldn't stop it. The second one seems to indicate that DCOP doesn't work... When I carefully and completely removed kde all libs and qt that should have been gone. Then a new install of kdebase should have restored it The question is ... any ideas where else to look? I'm not good at core dumps so I don't get much out of it James Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
