RE: [SLE] Updating to KDE2.1

I updated KDE2 to 2.1.1 just last week. I ran into
problems because there were some directories in my
/tmp directory that were "left over" from kde2.

before you install or after, if you experience
problems, check your /tmp dir and look for these 3
directories:

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

After I updated I received a "DCOP-server error" and
could not run KDE2.1.1. I deleted those directories
and everything was fine after that.

I also removed my ~/.kde2 directory. I wanted all the
default settings. I don't know if this is actually
necessary but I fixed the splash screen hang during
login.

Good luck and let me know if you have any trouble.
