I finished updateing KDE for 9.1 via Yast, but now have NO Konq....crashes.
I assume you updated KDE to 3.3, by adding the FTP site as Yast source. When I did this I had the same problem... What I Did wrong (I think) was to select too many packages out of the KDE 3.3 directory instead of just accepting the default selected.
Everything else seems to be fine. It crashes with a "signal 11, SIGSEGV" error. 'Hope there's a fix for this! Konq. as browser AND file manager crashes.
What I did contained a FUBAR, so I'll propose something slightly diferent in the hopes you'll miss the foobar... Try the following: Step 1: as root in a console TERMINAL (<ctrl><alt><f1>), do "init 3", to shutdown KDE. Step 2: Start Yast2 as console app by entering yast2 Step 3: Remove all the kde 3.3 packages. When it says dependancies brooken I remove thoose that are not too big, (ie. I didnot remove OO, and other apps, but did remove most kde stuff. Step 4: Probably not required but, then I did it just incase, reboot back to level 3. If you get to init 5, FVWM starts up since KDE is brooken. Step 5: In Level 3, Reenter Yast2, select only basic KDE 3.3 packages avoiding the optionals, let Yast choose the additionals that it needs. Step 6; Enter init 5, and everything worked... Hope this helps... Jerry P.S: I haven't tried reinstalling lots of the options since then but the machine works stable since then...
Thanks!
Fred
