RE: [SLE] Yast2 broken after upgrade to KDE 3.01
I have no problems either (SuSE-8.0). I upgraded however with the Advanced Package Tool (APT) funtionality, which sorts out all required packages to keep a consistent and correctly functioning system. To my own homble opinion this is much easier than any of other proposed procedures. Definately one to try out. Once APT is installed upgrading is only 2 commands: 1) apt-get update 2) apt-get upgrade Explanation: 1) for synching the client with the server APT database 2) Will upgrade any package that is upgradable The thing is, if you have APT installed it upgrades KDE automatically, but it is not KDE specific nor is it SuSE specific. It is a generic tool to be used for any package upgrade. Sounds unbelievable, it almost is.... If you use gnome, or ximian-gnome does not matter it is just upgrading the stuff, but only with the permission of the user! There is only 1 condition: the box must be apt clean. This is for sure the case right after a fresh install e.g. It is also the case if the user did not install software using rpm's --nodeps/--force arguments. At http://linux01.gwdg.de/ap4rpm is explained how APT is installed and can be used. If you do not succeed in getting APT to work, use the procedure as mentioned by Graham or Ben. -- Richard

Could you please give detailed instructions on how you upgraded to KDE 3.0.1 so that the rest of us chickens who were waiting for a bug-fix can join in on the 3.0.1 fun? Thanks!
As I indicated earlier, I am running 8.0 and initially had problems with Yast2 - but they were problems with YOU not recognising gpg, it had no problems running in Graphics mode. Since I applied the updates dated 30 May (eg kdebase-3.0.1-36.rpm) Yast2 has run perfectly.
The way I upgraded was not the way which has been mentioned here. I downloaded the complete contents of the update_for_8.0/base, development and applications directories to a single local directory. Then, as a user not root, I ran kpackage and applied all of the updated rpms. I restarted kde and have had no problems since.

I also just finished using Apt and my YaST2 seems to work just fine. Previous to this experience I had never used Apt...it's pretty slick.

I have just used apt-get to update my system and it installed the KDE3 stuff. Now my Yast2 also only works in ncurses mode. I use GNOME desktop, not KDE, but KDE is onstalled. Maybe there is one KDE or Qt package that everyone does not use that is causing the problem? -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf http://www.trusoft.za.net <-------------------------------------------------> < The box said: Requires Windows 95 or better... > < So I installed Linux > <------------------------------------------------->

KDE seems faster, but yast2 still doesn't work in gui mode. I don't know if this is related to all the problems after updating KDE, but there seems to be a persisitent problem between KDE and yast!
As an experiment, I used YOU to upgrade to 3.01. First I upgraded everything that needed to be upgraded via YOU, then I upgraded to 3.01. (The sequence was somewhat forced since the download of 3.01 failed - I was downloading through a firewall). After installation, I did not experience any trouble. YaST2 runs fine when logged in as a normal user. -- Jerry Feldman Enterprise Systems Group Hewlett-Packard Company 200 Forest Street MRO1-3/F1 Marlboro, Ma. 01752 508-467-4315 http://www.testdrive.compaq.com/linux/
