Where is Kmail in 3.4?
Hi all, This is what happens when you're 70 and have too much time on your hands. After I got /home in a separate partition, I tried to update to KDE 3.4. But Kmail disappeared. Plus, I cannot find a panel dictionary either. Anyone have suggestions on these two items? Thanks for your help. Andy

kmail is still there (well it should be) but is likely not in your kicker anymore. Instead you have kontact in your kicker. You can find kmail in the kmenu under internet/mail You are likely not have loaded the dictionary applet rpm - I remember reading a message in this list some time ago. The other option is to open konqueror and type dict:/word (replace word with the specific one you want to look up).

Hi Andrew, That is the trouble. Kmail is not in Internet/mail. I had NO mail clients in Internet. None! When I enter Kmail in "find files/folders" it shows up as ".kde/share/apps/"and the size is "200". Kontact is not in either the applet or the application menus for the panel. When I run the same search on Kontact it says 0 files/folders found. In addition, I reformatted 9.2 and then ran the usual updates. Kmail and Kontact were there and operable. I used Kmail a few times and then ran the update to 3.4 for a SECOND time and neither Kmail or Kontact were present. Same results as in first paragraph when i searched in find files/folders. In other words, I reformated, installed 9.2, Kmail and Kontact were useable, updated to 3.4 and lost both Kmail and Kontact TWO TIMES! ANYONE have any ideas? Thanks for your reply, Andrew. Andy

Hi Andy, When upgrading are you sure you included the kdepim3 series of packages? Kmail and Kontact are both within the kdepim3 packages. HTH Ken

What worked for me was to uninstall all of Kde3.3-pim and then install Kde3.4-pim. They shuffled things around and upgrading seems to not work perfecty:-{ Rich -- Rich Matson Reno, Nv. USA

Rich, I am a newbie and need more detailed help, if you would. Exactly *how* did you uninstall Kde3.3-pim and then install Kde3.4-pim? Thanks Andy

Andy, Not sure how you update your KDE files, but it sounds to me as if you have missed a few files. We covered this once before with someone here or on the main list. Sometimes SuSE splits the files up into smaller files. Don't know exactly the reason, whether to make the files smaller for modem users or other reasons, but because of that, if you just do a normal update of files installed on your system, some programs will come up missing. As you have experienced, some of your programs are not there or not working. The files can be downloaded from one of their mirrors. I usually look for the those files made available since my last update. Download all the files into one directory and use the shell rpm command to update or install. Now you can do the same with YaST2 I believe in setting the location of the files and choosing to install any files you don't have or haven't updated. Sometimes it gets a little confusing, if you are trying to stay up to date on new files. It's our obsession with version numbers I suppose, we have to get the latest. ;o) cheers, Lee -- --- KMail v1.8 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.2 --- Registered Linux User #225206 "He's not my brother, he's just heavy." ........Bucky Katt

Yast -> install and remove hardware -> search for kde3 ->uninstall kdepim- organizer and install Kdepim3. Rich -- Rich Matson Reno, Nv. USA
