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.
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.
