Hello everyone Please don't ask my how I did it, but somehow I managed to delete my SuSE Menue for the K Button. Under /etc/opt/kde2/shared/applink/SuSE I found it again but somehow it did not work the way I wanted it to. And a few more commands later I also successfully deleted this directory as well....... I am not totaly new to Linux but still those kind of things happen to me. Anyway. Does someone know if I can find those files on the Suse Cd-roms or would anyone be so nice to mail me this directory. I am also open to all other usefull suggestions. BTW: I work on Suse 7.3 with Kde2 Thanks for everything Andreas -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ... wo kämen wir hin, wenn jeder sagte: "Wo kämen wir hin?" und niemand ginge, um mal zu schauen, wohin man käme, wenn man ginge. -----------------------------------------------------------------

I've seen this in 7.3 . Actually the links you're concerned with are in /opt/kde2/share/applnk and /home/{user}/.kde2/share/applnk Why these disappear though, I was never able to answer. Try to upgrade to K3.0.3 . - -- Life is a yo-yo, and mankind ties knots in the string. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj2SF4IACgkQnQ18+PFcZJuTjwCfbPjoOnYCgM/KrI6UysCJrpW+ 56MAn1k2T0jLNtEDQsvQ9+fzPa4Q55s4 =3zam -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
The menus probably got erased because you told RPM to replace files when upgrading KDE. To prevent this in the future, do not use the -replacefiles switch (commandline) or in KPackage (uncheck the replace files). I've had similar problems w/menus and solved them when I deleted /sbin/conf.d/SuSEconfig.susewm. If you do that, though, your installation will no longer manage the menus for you. I've found it annoying and irritating (it will often delete KDE3 applications, or replace them with KDE2 apps of the same name, etc.) but some people do like it. Also, make a backup of your menu files, periodically. Hopefully these issues will be solved in SuSE 8.1 btw, if you still need the files, I can send you my applnks. E-mail me if you wish. Carl wrote:
