RE: [newbie] KDE 2.2.2 (icon disappearance situation update)
After using urpmi and force install of libqt2, there seems to be no more problem. Robin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Robin Sent: Tuesday, January 29, 2002 12:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] KDE 2.2.2 I just upgraded to KDE 2.2.2 with the packages from eastwind.net. I have some really strange problem, wondering if anyone has the same problem or know how to fix it. Here is the problem, I can start up KDE fine, however, as soon as I move my courser above any of the desktop icons, everything on the desktop disappears, no icons, not even wall paper. Mouse clicking also does not work in the desktop area, programs can still be lunched from the taskbar and seem to work fine. The only way to get the desktop back was to restart KDE. Removing .kde directory does not work. Anyone got any idea at all? Robin _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com _ Do You Yahoo!?

[newbie] kde 2.2.2
Hello. kde was upgraded to 2.2.2 on the 21st November, yet MandrakeUpdate doesn`t have it available. why ? Yes, I know I can install it manually, but if I wanted to do it that way, I would have picked a basic distribution and isntalled it all from source.

[newbie] KDE 2.2.2
Hallo! I've used rpmdrake to upgrade to Kde 2.2.2, and i've been asked to force installation of libpng3 (conflict with gdk-pixbuf). I've choosen yes but after having restarted kde didn't show most of its icons and gave some errors... Any idea? I suppose it's better to wait until kde 3 final... Thanks! ;) -- Joan Tur.

[newbie] kde 2.2.2 slooooow
I just upgraded from kde 2.2.1 to 2.2.2. The install went very smoothly. I downloaded the mandrake i586 rpms from kde's ftp site. I only had two failed dependencies which I fixed, and then did rpm -Uvh *.rpm from the directory they were in (kde was not running at the time) and away it went. When I returned to kde I found it to be really slow. Kmail isn't so bad, and non webbrowsing konqueror is ok, but kdevelop and web browsing konqueror are incredibly slow. Kdevelop takes a good 5 minutes to shut down, and about a minute to do anything (say switch to a different document). Generally speaking any k apps are slower than they used to be. I'll be reinstalling Mandrake 8.1 tonight, as that's the only way I know of to go back to 2.2.1 and be sure of no problems. But if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. Fortunately I backed up everything before attempting 2.2.2. Matt _ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] kde 2.2.2 slooooow
Did you upgrade qt too ? I heard there is a bug with it If you kill klipper it will not slow down the konqueror anymore (worked with me) press ctrl and esc and choose klipper and kill it .

Re: [newbie] kde 2.2.2
If they're _really_ circular, you can try rpm -U --nodeps, but it's risky, since if there was a real dependency problem lurking there, you can end up installing a heap of unusable software.

Re: [newbie] kde 2.2.2
I use ximian red carpet on mandrake to do the install for me which i got off of ftp.ximian.com (on debian dpkg does the work for me) sometimes it is best to jot down on real paper the dependencies and see what can be installed first. About circular dependencies try and install a version from a diiferent source to meet ones dependency and the other will cancel out. Sorry if this is confusing but Im trying to get some work down at the same time (ppl wheren't meant for multi-tasking *nix was) CmdrRoot On 26 Nov 2001 20:22:48 -0800, Grant Fraser wrote: Anybody else out there able to get it to install?

RE: [newbie] kde 2.2.2
I have a fairly stock LM8.1 w/all of the software from the CD's (albeit one or two RPM's) installed in a brute force manner... I also performed all of the upgrades via the software manager... I downloaded all of the Textstar RPM's. I then ran the tests as indicated. The rpm -Fvh --test *.rpm passed BUT when I went to install it complained of problems with Xanim w/o a version number. Strange... So I tried a --force since it did not complain about other files... This resulted an a lot of weird circular dependancies. It was complaining about needed versions which were being installed at the same time, again strange as this should not have occurred. I guess the Textstar RPM's are mismarked... Ok so I --nodeps --force 'd it. It died after a couple of RPM's again complaining of strange deps. I did it again rpm --nodeps --force *.rpm. This time it picked up the rest. Everything came up just fine. So far no problems or troubles... -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Grant Fraser |Sent: Monday, November 26, 2001 11:23 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: [newbie] kde 2.2.2 | | |Anybody else out there able to get it to install?
