Re: [SLE] No more XD2 ...Almost done.. now I have no X
1. I ran apt-get install XFree86. It worked but after the installation was complete I typed startx and got nothing but a grey screen. 2. I ctrl+alt+f2'd to another terminal and logged in as root. 3. I ran yast and installed kde. 4. I was able to startx and now I am in kde 3.1.1 But there are still some things messed up (like nothing on my second monitor works, when I try to run YaST it asks for the root password and then just disapears, when the screensaver comes up it only comes up on the first monitor, etc.). When I try to run 'apt-get upgrade && apt-get upgrade' it tells me file /opt/kde3/share/apps/noatun/simple.plugin from install of kdemultimedia3-video-xine-3.1.3-7 conflicts with file from package kdemultimedia3-video-3.1.1-50 E: Sub-process /bin/rpm/ returned an error code (184) Making a little progress but not all there yet. What should I do now? Thanks, -=Thinker James Ogley <james@usr-local-bin.org> wrote:

run apt-get install XFree86
Alternatively, if that doesn't work...
login as root, and run YaST - it should detect that there's a dependency missing (ie XFree86) and install it for you, or you can select it manually, if YaST doesn't notice the broken dep, thus fixing the complete botch Dread Carpet has made of your system.

Have you run sax2? maybe your config got messed up / over written. as root # init 3 # sax2.

It seems like you're trying to install a kde 3.1.3 package(video xine) but still have the 3.1.1 (video). Personally I'd run synaptic(available on the apt site or apt-get install synaptic) then upgrade gnome(ulb), then kde to 3.1.3, then worry about apt-get upgrade. Also upgrade qt3, and yast. Remove ktamaga if you have it installed, it's the cause of many problems. I can't think of any other problems I had upgrading. I use dial up so i tend to do it smaller pieces than the complete upgrade, that way i can check whats happening without being overwhelmed ny hundreds of packages being upgraded.
Making a little progress but not all there yet. What should I do now?
