Re: [newbie] kde 3.1 problem, no mouse
This has happened to me before. I solve it by doing the following: 1. CTRL-ALT-F1 (Drop out of X) 2. Login as Root 3. Type 'mousedrake' 4. Click 'ok' 5. CTRL-ALT-F7 (Get back into X) Doing the Mousedrake reinitializes the mouse.

[newbie] kde 3.1 installation and config
i was wondering if perhaps someone could let me know where the config files for the kde start menu are at...i just compiled and installed 3.1 last night but can't figure out how exactly to add all the applications that were in my old kde menu to my new one. it would be much easier if i could just cut/paste some lines from one config file to another rather than using the menu editor application to add everything i need. plus i've already overwritten most of the old kde binaries so i'm not sure exactly what/where everything is that used to be in the menu. i've tried going through ~/.kde and even copied that directory from another user account who hadn't used kde 3.1 yet to my own in hopes that it would provide the same menu configuration but i was wrong. also i can't seem to figure out how to make the new kdm boot kde 3.1.i was not able to add fluxbox to kdmrc for 3.0 because it would get overwritten after every reboot and when it would not boot kde 3.1 for some reason, i started using the kdm for 3.1. now it will boot fluxbox but kde 3.1 just makes the screen flicker a few times but goes back to the kdm login, eventhough i can boot kde 3.1 with a startx from console. if anyone can offer some insight on either of these matters it would definately be appreciated, thanks _ MSN 8 helps eliminate e-mail viruses.

You have broken your Mandrake menu system by installing kde from source. The rpm packages are provided for a reason because they contain the mandrake menu configuration information. If you want to compile KDE from source AND keep your Mandrake menus, you should rebuild the Mandrake src.rpms and install from rpm. You may be able to copy the contents of /usr/share/applnk-mdk to /usr/share/applnk, but my experiencesays that msec or something will change it back, or perhaps link /usr/share/applnk to /usr/share/applnk-mdk. also i can't seem to figure out how to make the new kdm boot kde 3.1.i was not able to add fluxbox to kdmrc for 3.0 because it would get overwritten after every reboot and when it would not boot kde 3.1 for some reason, i started using the kdm for 3.1. now it will boot fluxbox but kde 3.1 just makes the screen flicker a few times but goes back to the kdm login, eventhough i can boot kde 3.1 with a startx from console. if anyone can offer some insight on either of these matters it would definately be appreciated, thanks Did you install to /usr, or elsewhere? Why would you install from source instead of grabbing the rpms from the Club (if you're a member) or Texstar? Installing something as complex as KDE from source just breaks too much in the distro because of the way Mandrake integrates it. -- Greg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Ummm.. I'm having a bit of a problem with my recently installed KDE 3.1 from texstar. I can't print letters with accents with it! For example, i need to type an a with an accent (spanish chars) and after a rather long while experimenting with keyboard settings, language and deadkeys - nodeadkeys stuff, i still can't get KDE to help me type my e-mails correctly. I can type perfectly on a text terminal outside of X, i can do it also on Gnome, but KDE, all i get it to do is to print the accent like it's a character of it's own: ´´´ i need letters under those!

I have had 9.0 installed for some time, but have been (recently) using urpmi for most upgrades, and might I say in passing that urpmi now works better than it has done in previous versions. Getting the paths correct for urpmi is a major issue, but once you understand where to look and how to specify the sources it works pretty well. Prior to 9.0 I had trouble with it - usually as a result of broken paths, incomplete or incompatible sites, lots of which had connection issues of their own, it seemed. I am new to Mandrake, not to Linux, but urpmi and the rpmdrake for it got the best of me, as rpmdrake uploaded all the packages, while I had to sit there and ok the lack of md5sums for every package. Then, it found a dependancy it could not correct, and exited, flushing all the uploaded rpms. I then bagged the easy way, and settled down to upgrade KDE using rpm, rpmdrake to search the CDs, and rpmfind for everything it couldn't satisfy. It wasn't too hard as upgrades go, you should have seen the source upgrade to KDE 3.0.5 on RH8.0, and I never got it perfect. RH broke KDE, and I left. Now, maybe I need to add more sources to urpmi, but its not all that convienent to yell about, as to befuddle me is to really lose a newbie.

Re: [newbie] KDE 3.1
Also, when it comes to upgrading kde, it's best to install the library components first, like libqt3, libarts, and so forth, preferably all at the same time (rpm -Uvh libqt3* libarts* ) and be sure to specify the *devel packages as well. After those are installed, then install the other components - first kdelibs, kdebase and then the rest, as is recommended on the kde website. It is a good idea to install both the base and the devel pair simultaneously on the command line. If you load all the necessary rpms in one directory, and do a rpm -Uvh *, rpm will sort out the dependancies, and see that everything is installed in the right order. That's how I do it.
