Running 9.0. After upgrading to KDE 3.2 on two systems, I have some problems that I just can't resolve. I did not remove kdebase3-SuSE on either system. One system works fine (my test system of course) and my main system is the one with problems. I had none of the following problems under 3.1.4.
1) Firefox keeps freezing, leaving zombie or dead processes resulting in blank windows on the desktop. 2) Sound no longer works 3) Local Network browsing no longer works (SMB) 4) Printing sometimes freezes the entire system 5) The system is basically unstable
Anyone else have these problems and resolved them?
Although I really don't want to, to go back to KDE 3.1.4, do I have to remove 3.2 (via YaST? and from a different window manager like FVWM) and then re-install 3.1.4 from the CD's? Anything else I have to do like removing profiles or ?
Thanks- Dan
Were you using 3.2 or 3.2.1 ? I get the impression it was 3.2 and that level contained a number of bugs (sound!) which were subsequently fixed. If you really want to go back, directory .kde in your home directory is liable to cause some grief. I would: - download the complete 3.1.5 packages - go into a different windowmanager and call yast or go into text-mode and do it from there - delete all of the packages associated with 3.2 (including arts, quanta, qt3 and I think libart_lgpl, libxml2, libxslt, taglib (??) along with the koffice stuff if you installed it) - rename .kde as .kde-3.2 or something - delete the obvious temp files in /tmp - install the 3.1.5 stuff, or the stuff from the CD Did I forget anything? -- opinions personal, facts suspect. http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html
