I have not. I don't want to make anymore changes to my system because it can destabilize it more, and I need to do work, not mess around with updating and fixing packages :-) On Saturday 25 May 2002 08:29 pm, doc wrote:

No dice. Steven

Well, i tried (exept for X11) all suggestions: no dice, nothing works, situation still the same! So: i removed things (to bak dirs). No more KDE, no more /opt/kd... whatever, no more home/user/Desktop or .kde or .kde3, nothing was left. No more DCOP sockets, nothing. No more /tmp files, nothing. I removed all KDE packages with GNORPM ! Then i checked with yast2, all was gone. Then i rebooted, and installed KDE3 from scratch. All went well. Then i tried to start kde3 ...... and ...... DCOP problem as before! They should roast the responsable programmers, and then hang them, and have their ...... well you get the picture. I think they secretly work for Redmond, otherwise i cannot understand someone is capable of such a mess! Unbelievable. Well, an other evening gone up in smoke. Thanks guy's. I'm probably going to be really nasty now, so i stop this e-mail (don't know if there's an age-limit on this NG).

I couldn't find the answer that suited me either. So this is how I solved: 1. Downgrade your XFree86 to the one that comes with SuSE CDs. (Don't forget to uninstall every packgage relating with XFree first. Use YaST1 to do this) 2. OR upgrade your XFree86 to 4.2.0 the latest build. It came out about Mar 2002 (I guess, couldn't remember). If you are using 4.2.0 now, make sure it is the same one that you can find in SuSE ftp site today!!!. Check if RPM packages are the same name!!!. I hope you enjoy using KDE3 as I do. Teratam Bunyagul On Saturday 25 May 2002 23:04, Steven Lobbezoo wrote: > And....

Na! One evening more (to the 10 x 24 hours i allready lost). 8.0 is shit, it scandalous that "they" released it. But.. i'll make them pay. I'm going to register for assistence for the first time, and i'll keep them on the phone for as long as it takes. This is the free marketing Gates has wet dreams about. It confirms 100% what M$ is saying about free software. Thanks all to SuSE. Steven le mar 28-05-2002 à 00:05, Carl a écrit : -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 . You just lost an evening?!
