Well, unfortunately that didn't work. I get the same error. Although, I noticed the ksocket- and kde- directories were recreated. Any other ideas? ----- Original Message ----- From: Crazy Diamond Sent: Monday, April 02, 2001 12:00:44 PM To: Subject: Re: [SLE] Problems with KDE 2.1.1 upgrade on SuSE

I also had this problem.

Do this...

check in your /tmp directory for three directories:

mcop-<username> ksocket-<username> kde-<username>

where username is your login id.

If those exist, move them to something like dirname.backup or whatever. Or just delete them. They get created when you start KDE2.

Then try starting KDE2.1.1

Apparently KDE2 leaves those directories in /tmp and doesn't clean them up. Once you move them or delete them, kde2.1.1 will automatically create new ones.

Write back if you have any questions...

OK try this too. try moving your .kde2 directory in your home directory to something else. KDE2 will create a new one when you start kde2. You will lose most of your customizations like colors, backgrounds, etc. but this might work. Let me know CD --- Sterling Anderson wrote:

New subject: [SLE] Problems with KDE 2.1.1 upgrade on SuSE - SOLVED

Today SuSE listed on their web site rpms needed to get the install to work. I downloaded directly from them and installed the required packages. Voila! It worked! URL: http://suse.com/en/support/download/LinuKS/i386/update_for_7_1/base.html I installed the "Required packages" and it is working. I am now going to install the others to upgrade other apps. -sterling On Monday 02 April 2001 13:02, Crazy Diamond wrote:
