I have SuSE 7.1, using KDE 2.0.1. I attempted to upgrade KDE to 2.1.1 using the rpms from the SuSE web site. I installed them using Yast1. Installation went Ok without a hitch. However after I restarted, when X was starting up I got an error message saying something to the effect that dcopserver wasn't running. And that's where it dies. I cannot do anything else with it except go into command line mode. Surely someone out there knows the fix for this.
Thanks
The simplest expedient is to move .kde2 in your home directory to .KDE2. This will allow the new KDE 2.1.1 to setup it's own configuration files. Do mv .kde2 .KDE2. Then reboot or restart X (logout and log back in again). By saving .KDE2, you have access to your mail configuration.
Thanks, I'll try that. When I did "rpm -e qt-experimental", I got a whole monitor full of messages saying: "libqt.so.2 is needed by kxxx and a whole slew of other KDE programs. When I restarted it I still got the dcopserver error message. I'll try the above suggestion by Jonathan and then report back to the list the results.
Thanks
I had the same thing...Its a pain da #@$%. I remember that after removing qt-experimental I had to re-install the other qt's...Although I never used qt-static either.
See my previous post. rpm won't let me remove qt-experimental. It says libqt.so.2 is needed by a bunch of programs. How do I tell rpm to remove it anyway? Why don't I just do a complete removal of all that I installed, and then reinstall just the bare minimun? Why am I receiving two copies of every post to this list? Thanks jvb
All I have is qt-extensions-2.3.0-55.rpm
qt-freebies-1.7-59.rpm
