[opensuse-kde] KDE does not start after latest update 2010-09-24
This morning Fri, Sept. 24, 2010 I did a "zypper up" using openSUSE 11.3 and having KDE:Distro:Factory as the main KDE repository. After that a problem that emerged also in February 2010, did occur again: kdm does not start with the following message in /var/log/messages: Received unknown or unexpected command -2 from greeter Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 127, signal 0 In February the solution was to wait for a further update of the repository. So that is what I will do. In the mean time do not update your KDE software if you have KDF as your main KDE repository. -- fr.gr.

if you want to use KDE 4.5, you should switch to one of these repos, depending on your oS version: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/45/ the KDE factory repo is being switched to qt 4.7, and then will go on to become KDE 4.6. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Will there be a Playground setup for this as well? Thanks -- Regards Scott Newton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Looks like we're going to have <projectcount>! repositories setup before long. Would anyone object if I remove the KDE:Distro:Stable repos for KDE:Unstable:Playground? It seems like an unusual combination. If I get rid of it I won't feel so bad about eating more build power with KR45 KUP repos.

I would mind a little bit ;-) I might want to try me some bluedevil, amarok or koffice beta or similar on my otherwise stable KDE 4.4. But I guess there's a good chance that the KUP for straight 11.3 would work, so maybe KUP for KDS specifically is not really needed? Or I could prolly just "downgrade" my KDS to main-OSS KDE. I initially upgraded for early access to nepomuk fixes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Yes it would work, if KDS and 11.3 KDE are incompatible we are in deep do-do.

Those should be released by now. Marcel, I CCed you because your home:balta3:branches:KDE:Unstable:Playground/ project uses this repo and is blocking me deleting it. As discussed above, 11.3 default KDE is equivalent to KDE:Distro:Stable. Would you mind removing any KDS+KUP repos from your branch so that I may delete KDS+KUP?

Matej, please could you remove your branches' repos: home:matejv:branches:KDE:Unstable:Playground/openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Stable home:matejv:branches:KDE:Unstable:Playground/openSUSE_11.2_KDE_Distro_Stable I am removing openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Stable openSUSE_11.2_KDE_Distro_Stable from KDE:Unstable:Playground but your repos block this.

In the mean time do not update your KDE software if you have KDF as your main KDE repository.
You could try switching to the KDE:Release:45 repo instead. If what you really want is a relatively stable 4.5.x repo, and you don't care about helping with testing the KDE for 11.4. And for upgrading your KDE you prolly want to use 'zypper dup --from <kde core repo alias>' Using 'zypper up' will lead to the famous "red packages" problem, i.e. newer packages, which appear to be older than installed ones, because of weirdness with the OBS build numbers. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

I have done that and now I can start KDE again. I had to do the zypper dup twice, before my KDE desktop really did start, like it was before. -- fr.gr. Freek de Kruijf -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
