[opensuse-factory] Latest KDE4 updates seem to break dbus on SUSE-10.2
I have the both the KDE3 and KDE4 repos added to my installation sources on SUSE-10.2. Today morning I decided to update all packages to the current version with yast2. That included a update of the KDE4 packages. After a restart KDE3 came up with a blank screen. First I found no usable error messages but after init 3 and starting X with startx i found some messages about missing kded and dbus failures. And when trying to start kded manually it complained about missing dbus. I decided to reinstall the dbus packages. That didn't fix anything. Then I reinstalled all KDE3 packages and removed KDE4. That "fixes" the problem for now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes I had this too, the problem is that the latest KDE4 packages have moved to /usr (instead of /opt/kde4). /usr is ahead of /opt/kde3 in the path so the kde4 versions of libraries and programmes are being found instead of the kde3 versions. This will break your kde3 install. A solution is to append the following to your ~/.bashrc if you wish to have both installed: export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/kde3/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PATH=/opt/kde3/bin:$PATH IMO it would have been better to only move the prefix for versions >= 10.2. _ Benjamin Weber --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

This should not be necessary to make your KDE 3 login work again.

It has been moved only for 10.2 and Factory (as older builds are disabled atm). Bye, Steve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
