Thanks Vadym, I followed your instructions and there was some improvement. At least YaST loads in a gui now - since the update I've had to use the console version. However, the error messages are still there in KControl. These files (the libkcm_XXX.la) just don't get installed. Any idea which package has them? Missing module files are: libkcm_socks.la libkcm_newsticker.la libkcm_lanbrowser.la libkcm_konq.la libkcm_kamera.la libkcm_midi.la libkcm_kcmkxmirpcd.la libkcm_konqhtml.la libkcm_nsplugin.la libkcm_alarmdaemonctrl.la Thanks immensely for your help so far. Getting YaST back was a BIG help!! Cheers Rich On Sunday 02 March 2003 17:20, Vadym Krevs wrote:
Hi Rich,
it seems your KDE 3.1 installation still contains old files from previous versions of KDE. Try the following: init 3; ps -ef | grep kde | awk '{print $2}' | xargs kill -9 rpm -ivh
/*.rpm --replacefiles --replacepkgs /sbin/SuSEConfig init 5 Regards, Vadym

Having now grepped my entire linux installation I cannot find any traces of libkcm-XXX anywhere. The only entries to appear in the search were libkcm_liquid.la libkcm_liquid.so libkcm_susesearch.la libkcm_susesearch.so libkcm_yast2.la libkcm_yast2.so libkcm_cdbosettings.la libkcm_cdbosettings.so libkcm_hardware.la libkcm_hardware.so libkcm_kgamma.la libkcm_kgamma.so libkcm_kuick.la libkcm_kuick.so libkcm_kwix.la libkcm_kwix.so
After reading another thread that suggested loading kdebase (not kdebase3) I tried it only to find that the error message didn't appear but Control Center seg-faulted and crashed.
So there really is no copies of the missing libkcm files on the HD. Which packages do I need to get them? None of the KDE3 rpms seem to have them...
Thanks
