Re: [expert] Upgrading to KDE on Mdk 7.2beta3
I had the same problem when I tried an upgrade for kde-1.99. I did not understand what was going on at first but then figured this had to do with security problems so decided to download pam-0.72-12 (0.72-9 comes with LM-7.2B3) after upgrading pam kdm allowed logins again.

RE: [expert] Upgrading to KDE on Mdk 7.2beta3
Yeap, I got all the rpms and installed it although I had to force some. Anyways, after installing all(BTW, I did them in XFce not in console mode), I restarted X. Then came up the same login manager(kdm) from beta3, and tried to log in, but it says log in FAILED. The same as 'root'. So I switched to console mode and logged in and 'startx'ed, which was successful. The installation must have screwed up something in log-in part(I don't even know exactly what got screwed up). So, can anyone can help me out here?

Take yourself a copy of pam if you want to login through gui.. Console login will work if nothing else then start kde! -Original Message- From: Praedor Tempus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 1:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Upgrading to KDE on Mdk 7.2beta3 TK Kim wrote: > > Hi, > > I've downloaded all the KDE2 rpms and was about to upgrade, but it was > asking for a specific version of menu plus mandrake-desktop rpms.

You can get pretty much whatever rpms you want/need from the ftp site for rpmfind rather than the website. I managed to get kde-2.0 installed properly on my 7.1 system with the following rpms: mandrake_desk-7.2-18mdk rpm-3.0.5-27mdk menu-2.1.5-42mdk libstdc++-2.95.2-7mdk At least, the rpms all installed without any core dumps from /usr/bin/update-menus. I don't know how kde actually runs yet because I had to do all this remotely via ssh. I'll have to wait until I get home after work to restart X to see if the install is good and working properly. praedor Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

I have been able to find the various versions of the rpms at ftp://fr.rpmfind.net. Navigate down the directories from from linux/ (not pub/) and follow Mandrake or MandrakeCooker to the rpms. praedor Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.
