-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I guess most people have found a way to update to KDE 3.2, but I have just accomplished it, and thought I would post my way of doing it and the issues I faced, hopefully saving someone else the trouble. I used this article as a guide. http://fedoranews.org/krishnan/tutorial/kde3.2/index.shtml I used the section "To use yum to install KDE 3.2" at the bottom of the article. I downloaded all the files from a mirror, into ~/tmp/kde32, and followed the procedure outlined in the article. I logged out of KDE, and into Gnome and opened a terminal. I ran yum check-update, which completed successfully. When I ran "yum update kde" it failed, saying no such package with name kde. I then ran "yum update kde*", and that worked perfectly. I logged back into kde, and got the KDE 3.2 splash screen. The desktop looked just like I left it, except several of my links had default icons, and the .desktop file extension. I guess they were broken. Not a problem, I can fix that. There were a few other things that didn't seem quite right, so I moved the ~/.kde directory to /tmp, and logged out. When I logged back in, I got the Desktop Settings Wizard, a sure sign that things were looking up. Now I had the new panel...very nice. I like the sepeartors being invisible. The next thing that didn't work was KMail. I clicked the KMail icon, and it errored with: kdeinit cannot start kmail. I started kmail from a terminal and the actual error is: cannot find libkdenetwork.so.2 KNode depends on this library, as well. I did yum provides libkdenetwork.so.2, and that told me that kdepim-develop provides libkdenetwork.so.2, so I did yum install kdepim-develop, and installed kdepim-develop and it's dependencies. Now KMail is working properly. I haven't explored everything yet, but so far I'm very pleased, especially the speed. - -- Charles Howse Jackson, TN 02ED 504D 91BD 7724 3571 1640 FD2F 95B0 1F51 30A8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAKFvs/S+VsB9RMKgRAmn5AJkBVGsRDuaMkjge+EcEcsFRgLre+gCfSNjA k2xG3tELT/kIQrmj9ZHaKAY= =zLyR -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
