Wonder if anyone has seen this.. I just downloaded the KDE 3.1.2 packages and upgraded the desktop. No problems there. Now however when I go into YaST2 and attempt to select any packages or groups for update , I receive this idiotic window that pops up and says "Abandon all Changes?" The "accept" or "cancel" buttons are non-responsive causing the whole Install and Remove Software Module to freeze (under YaST). What have I done wrong here in my recent update. For the KDE RPM update, I created a dir under tmp and dropped everything in there. Then Created a new directory entry under YaST2-Change source of Installation. Disabled the cd:/// record temporarily but have since restored this enrty as the sole source. After completing the KDE upgrade I had gone in and deleted the RPM's under my tmp dir (140 MB) in the efforts to conserve space. Could this have thrown a wrench into YaST somehow? Really looking for the expert advise here as I an not sure how I'll upgrade from this point on unless I can get rid of this nag window. Thanks! K. Nesbott

It's qt3 ! Go back to ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.2/suse/i586/qt3-3.1.1-71.i586.rpm option upgrade to ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/SuSE/8.2-i386/RPMS.suse-people/qt3-3.2.0b1-6.i586.rpm Gerrit Jan
Gerrit, thanks for the info. I have just tried the qt3-3.2.0b1-6.i586.rpm2, however Yast complains about a whole raft of deps. I have d/loaded all the 3.2b1 packages to the local HD and it still is not happy (have selected this dir for software sources in YaST2). Have to keep working at this ..

Has anyone else gotten this problem fixed w/out having to revert back to 3.1.1? I can't get the QT3-3.2.0 rpms to install either. This is a rather annoying bug. In case the SuSE people haven't heard about it, the KDE 3.1.2 rpms break yast2 software install/update modules. If you try to cancel out of the installation you will get the "Abandon all changes?" dialog box, but you will be unable to close it. The OK and Cancel buttons do nothing, and trying to close the window via the "close window" button, will only bring up *another* "Abandon all changes?" window. You can get a lot of those windows on your screen if you keep pressing the close window button. <g> On Sun, 2003-06-01 at 13:50, Gerrit Jan Eldering wrote:

Ok, got QT3-3.2.0b1 to install, however, now my cursor is facing right... it's a little annoying. Does anyone know how to change this behavior? On Sun, 2003-06-01 at 13:50, Gerrit Jan Eldering wrote:

If you didn't get caught, did you really do it?

Yes. Go back to the QT3-3.1 package until 3.2 is fixed.
Can I downgrade my QT to the distro version while keeping KDE 3.1.2 (I doubt it but I thought I'd ask), or do I have to downgrade KDE as well? On Fri, 2003-06-06 at 10:53, Ken Schneider wrote:

I had the same problem. I was unable to find an answer to the mouse pointer problem. Actually, there is another bug which I find to be more important. While running qt3-3.2.0b1, if you try to use the "What's This?" feature in a KDE app, the windows decorations (title bar, borders, etc), on the windows of all your apps, will vanish. I submitted it as a bug to bug.kde.org. I was told that it's a known problem with the current beta version of QT3. So, I went back to qt3-3.1.2-40. The mouse pointer changed back to pointing to the left and the "What's This?" problem vanished as well. I have heard that some people are having problems with Yast2 while using qt3-3.1.2 but, so far, I haven't experienced it. Rick On Fri, 2003-06-06 at 11:42, Preston Kutzner wrote:

Rick, Go into the Install/Remove software module and try cancelling out of it. You will get a window that asks ok or cancel that you can't get rid of there. The only way to get out at that point is the Ctrl-Alt-Esc keys for the skull & crossbones pointer. I thought maybe it was a bad SuSE compile, so compiled QT3 from src.rpm with no luck. Still behaves the same way. I do believe someone here mentioned that they had used the the SuSE rpms from kde.org though and was not experiencing the problem?
