wow i blew up KDE


Recommended Posts

ok so i tried to upgrade KDE 3.1.3 to KDE 3.2.0...

and well i had all 207 rpms so i wrote an installer that installed them all in a mass quanitity...the installer worked fine..but for some reason KDE did not uprgade...parts of it did..but the rest just exploded and now KDE wont start so im removeing it and reinstalling KDE3.1.3 via urpmi...

how is it that someone using MDK 9.2 can upgrade to the newest KDE 3.2.0?

this is maybe the last important thing i havent done yet. that is upgrading KDE.

is it worth it to go from 3.1 to 3.2 (BTW , me on fedora core1 + K2.6)

is there any guide somewhere?.

KYRO.

p.s:- Jade your sig+avatar roxer :punk:

Yes it is worth it. They made many improvments, like Konquerer being faster.

If you are interested, here is the change log.

There is a good chance that when Mandrake 10 is released, it will already come with this version of KDE, so if you are planning to upgrade to Mandrake 10, might as well stick with what you have for now.

Jade: There is a QT library thing (here) that is required by KDE 3.x, maybe you forgot that?

Mind if you could check the KDE Control Centre, please? Because I had a couple of bugs installing KDE 3.2.0 on Slackware 9.0 and the startup screen/menu still read KDE 3.1, but it is still recognized as KDE 3.2.

You wrote an installer!? rpm -Uvh * will install everything in the correct order :p

Anyways, try removing your dot files. You should do that whenever you update anything.

Renaming a .config file to .config_old is a good idea.

That way you can still have immediate access to your old setup for reference purposes. (yet it won't throw a monkey wrench in there)

and all of my configs stayed i got 3.1 back and its back to normal again.

ya i wrote a big installer that basically sets off all of them off with that command only one after another in a mass quantity....

EDIT:

those of you who have KDE if you want to try this i will post the rpms and installer if u want to try this out..it may have just been my PC and im gonna try again with absolutely no KDE on the system...

these rpms came DIRECTLY from cooker..so there is no reason why they should not work..they are also stable 3.2.0 no pre's.

well if you wrote an installer that didnt install the rpms in the correct order thats probably your problem..

sticking with the Upgrade command would have installed all the rpms correctly
