I upgraded to KDE 4.2 and now my icons on the desktop are blank and 2 icons on the quick launcher bar are blank. Well they're white w/ 101010 in them and when you click on them they don't load anything and the properties menu shoes nothing in them. Literally.

If I set the icons the way I want them and log out and and log in it loads the default icons which are as I stated above. -- Michael S. Dunsavage

I have the same issue, and the two sets of oxygen icons are up-to-date. It is not just that the icon is odd. The properties seem odd. I suspect that the panel has info on this icon in a file, and the file has gone missing or is empty.

If plasma is not running, you should not see any desktop background or panels, just a black background. If you find that you have a "plasma-desktop" instead, you are running KDE 4.3 pre-alpha, which is completely unsupported.

Hi There has got to be a problem somewhere with the upgrade to 4.2 , I tried the upgrade to 4.2 (i still need it) but wound up on the first update after thatwith the 4.3 beta stuff which naturally completely scuppered my machine just a white and grey checquer board background and very little working at all . Could it be that on one of the mirros or something there is a misconfiguration that is causing the bad update to 4.3 . I need some of the stuff in 4.2 on my one machine but after having had to re install because of the bad 4.3 thing is it now safe to attempt it again and if so what is the EXACT URL/Link that will only do update to 4.2 and completely ban 4.3 Pete . -- Opensuse 10.3 x86_64 (Linux is like a wigwam no Gates, no Windows, and an Apache inside.) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Your signature says you have 10.3, so the URL is

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openS USE_10.3/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_10.3/

You need both.

Since KDE:Qt, even the one for 10.3, might be updated to Qt 4.5 RC1, which does not work well with KDE 4.2, this is not recommended and will cause trouble, which then is blamed on KDE4 again, rather than the user not sticking to its abilities/knowledge. So, if you don't know what you are doing, but still want to do it, use the one-click-installs which will add the correct repos, if you pick the correct one-click for your distro and KDE version. The correct repo, as you can see, if you have a look at the one-click files in http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... is Qt44.

If you ignore all the warnings on blogs and mailinglists, fair enough, but still, recommending this repo, if there is a less risky way is not the most sensible. The problem is not that there are bugs in Qt 4.5, the problem is that there are workarounds in KDE 4.2 for bugs in Qt 4.4, which will not work with Qt 4.5.

At this point, I don't see an issue.

So you will send those users you recommended KDE:Qt a notification, if they have to change because there are issues? Why not just recommend the proper repo instead of leaving those users at risk to update to some Qt version which will not work?

Are you saying that KDE:/QT is the wrong QT repo? It is listed on http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Repositories#KDE_4.2_Factory_Development which i would have thought would be kept correct. I just updated today, and though I have seen some buglet in Dolphin, it has been working OK here. But looking, it looks like qt 4.5 rc1 packages are indeed in QT now. Are you saying that the Qt repo should be changed now to the Qt44 repo? I am on 11.1 BTW.

OK, I have found one problem with qt 4.5RC1. Not in KDE though.

The YaST software management and repositories modules still crash with it

The reason this happened is that they moved 4.2 from UNSTABLE to Factory. When you first installed, you got pointed to UNSTABLE because that's where 4.2 was. You should subscribe to opensuse-kde@opensuse.org, which is where changes like that get announced Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi, I have the same problem after update. I have folder view widget open 3 times and yaWP widget open 2 times after update. Also the widget on panel for dolphin and konqueror seems missing the icons. Now it solve by editing ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc file. I found that there are some entries with broken icon entry/link and also the double or triple call to the widget. I forget the detail, but it will not hurt to delete the entry that you think not right. Anyway, if you login to the desktop and set-up your desktop again it will automatically write the configuration in that file. regards, medwinz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
