Hi all, I got and installed the Suse 10.3 live CD with kde 4.01 packages. Then I changed the three relevant KDE repositories in Yast to KDE UNSTABLE, and switched off the old repositories. I left the basis repositories on 10.3 (so no FACTORY) After updating all packages, I got a working installation of KDE4.0.64 (there was only one conflict: kde fourinline, which I did not install) There is one problem: plasma crashes immediately when the desktop is started after I login. Applications work, but I cannot start plasma. I have a feeling that this somehow has to do with my switch to the repositories, and that it should be working. I also posted to the kde bug database using the wizard, perhaps this was not the good thing to do since it might be a Suse-related problem? Anyhow, thanks for any insights. Question: To what extend are the developers interested in my experiences with the KDE4.1 pre packages? I guess it is not interesting to post bug reports since this is a development release? John ps. When I start plasma from the command line I get the following messages: john linux:~> plasma Plasma crashed, attempting to automatically recover KCrash: Application 'plasma' crashing... sock_file=/home/john/.kde/socket-linux/kdeinit4__0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. plasma(5448): Communication problem with "plasma" , it probably crashed.

Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " Perhaps the problem is caused by my update from standard kde4.0 pakages to the packages from the UNSTABLE repository? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
