Issues after KDE upgrade to 3.2.2
Hi, SLE members, I decided to upgrade my KDE from original 9.0 distribution to 3.2.2. I used Yast (added suse ftp update directory to instalation sources list) and all went fine. But, I noticed some minor issues that I can not resolve without help from the SLE users. 1. The windows decoration set that was set default by installation of suse 9.0 is gone now. It was called "SuSE" or so, if I remember well. Now the closest one is Keramik. This issue is not very important, but I am curious what happened, and how the whole thing works. I don't know how my KDE knows which type of decoration to use, and where all these are picked up from? 2. The small round green icon (the smiling face of suse lizzard) that was sitting in the panel is also gone. I mean the one which was doing the monitoring for online updates availability. I don't know which application was standing behind it. I tried searching through menus and the package list, but couldn't find any name that could remaind me to the one I'm missing. TIA & Best regards, cikasole
Hi! Yes, those things you are talking about are all from the package named kdebase3-SuSE, you can reinstall it by hand: wget ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/suse/i386/9.0/suse/i586/kdebase3-SuSE-9.0-80.i586.rpm rpm -ihv kdebase3-SuSE-9.0-80.i586.rpm I strongly advise you to get the package locally, because you're gonna need to uninstall / reinstall this package if you're using apt-get :)) Radule Soskic wrote:

Thank you for your advice. I reinstalled the package this morning, but it helped only with the issue #2 (SuSE Watcher). Regarding issue #1 (windows decoration) I still have the same situation. The SuSE default is missing (and maybe some others, too - the list seems shorter than it was before the update) . I still hope someone will point me to the right direction regarding this. cikasole On Mon, 2004-05-10 at 14:27, Radu Voicu wrote:
