[opensuse] Huh?? kdebase3-workspace -- disappeared?
Listmates, Has anyone else ever lost kdebase3-workspace? It was the strangest. I'm finishing up a new 11.0 install for the office, I finish updating some packages, I run the menu editor a bit and then reboot. To my surprise, I log in and I'm looking at FVWM?? Where did that come from. Log out, check the Session Type listing and there is *no* KDE anything to be found anywhere. Double-Huh?? Further checking with "which startkde" returns nothing? Checking another box the file is provided by kdebase3-workspace. So zypper in kdebase3-workspace and kde is back and working the way it should. How (other than a stupid keystroke [possible but not probable]) does kdebase3-workspace just vanish? Anybody run into this before? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Thanks for the fix. I have tried several times to start kde after the latest update with no success. William Holmes -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I had not, the file /opt/kde3/bin/startkde belonged to the package kdebase3 (at least on my laptop, > rpm -qf /opt/kde3/bin/startkde kdebase3-3.5.10-101.1 BTW, "which startkde" should return /usr/bin/startkde which is a symlink to /opt/kde3/bin/startkde in my case. The symlink was still there, but the file it points to was gone. When you have the webpn tool installed (from the opernSUSE:Tools repo), you get: > webpin /opt/kde3/bin/startkde ... performing request on http://api.opensuse-community.org/searchservice/Search/Simple/openSUSE_111//o 8 results (3 packages) found for "/opt/kde3/bin/startkde" in openSUSE_111 * kdebase3: The KDE Core Components - 3.5.10 [suse-oss | BS::home:/pedro_seon:/kde-base | BS::KDE:/KDE3] >> /opt/kde3/bin/startkde * kdebase3-SuSE: SUSE KDE Extension - 11.1 [suse-oss | BS::KDE:/KDE3] >> /opt/kde3/bin/startkde.pick_wallpaper * kdebase3-workspace: Workspace Components of KDE3 Desktop - 3.5.10 [BS::home:/Beineri:/branches:/KDE:/KDE3 | BS::home:/pedro_seon:/kde-base | BS::KDE:/KDE3] >> /opt/kde3/bin/startkde here you see that the package containing the missing file changed.
