change desktop from GNOME to KDE
by Jim Lemon
Hi,
Apologies if this is a FAQ, but I saw no FAQ or list archive when I
subscribed.
When I installed Fedora 14, I tried the KDE LIVE install, but it seemed
to be a minimal install, and trying to install all of the packages I had
on my Fedora 11 box wasn't going too well.
So I reinstalled with the full distribution and got GNOME desktop. I
tried it for a while, but I still prefer KDE. When I run:
yum install @kde-desktop
I get the error:
cups-libs-1:1.4.6-1.fc14.x86_64 is newer than cups-libs-1:1.4.4-11.fc14.i686
(approximately - it takes too long to run it just to get the exact
message). If I ask:
yum downgrade cups-libs-1:1.4.4-11.fc14.i686
it doesn't do anything, and if I ask:
yum remove cups-libs-1:1.4.6-1.fc14.x86_64
in an attempt to get KDE to install and then reinstall the newer
package, it wants to remove 247 packages, which doesn't sound like a
good idea.
Is there any alternative to going back to the KDE live install and
trying again to install all the missing packages?
Thanks
Jim

Hi,
Update FYI:
Today Amarok was updated to version 2.4.0-1 (final?). This version still
crashes in combination with MySQL 5.5.8. Upstream says that the issue is
"resolved upstream". But seemingly it isn't. I've also filed a bugreport
against MySQL [1]. One of the testcases is crashing, because of the same
reason.

kwalletmanager
by Timothy Murphy
kwalletmanager doesn't appear to do anything
(either when chosen from the f-menu or entered as a command)
on my Fedora-14/KDE Thinkpad T60.
What is it meant to do?
Do I need some other package than kdeutils and kdeutils-minimal?

Strange CD Burning Bug
by Mark Bidewell
When I attempt to launch k3b 2.0.1 under KDE with KDM I get the
following error:
KGlobal::locale::Warning your global KLocale is being recreated with a
valid main component instead of a fake component, this usually means
you tried to call i18n related functions before your main component
was created. You should not do that since it most likely will not work
unnamed app(3256): Communication problem with "k3b" , it probably crashed.
Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message
did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" "
[mbidewell@localhost ~]$ KCrash: Application 'k3b' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/libexec/kde4/drkonqi from kdeinit
sock_file=/home/mbidewell/.kde/socket-localhost.localdomain/kdeinit4__0
QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket 10 and type 'Read', disabling...
As a second datapoint Brasero starts but fails with this error when I
attempt to burn:
** (brasero:3559): WARNING **: ERROR loading background pix : Failed
to open file '/usr/share/brasero/logo.png': No such file or directory
** (brasero:3559): WARNING **: Failed to inhibit the system from
suspending: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The
name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files
Oddly these errors occur only under KDE not Gnome. I am currently
running KDE 4.6 RC1 from KDE-Redhat. Has anyone else seen this?

.desktop file has no 'Type=' entry
by Martin Airs
good day all,
I'm currently using KDE 4.5.95(RC2)
I don't know when it happens or why, but after a while when I click an application icon in my panel to start for example firefox, i get a window popup saying...
The desktop entry file /usr/share/applications/mozilla-firefox.desktop has no Type=... entry
and the app doesn't start.
when i first start kde everything is fine, and then I could go out for an hour or so, then when i get back this happens, I don't know when it starts happening.
to fix it i can just kill and restart plasma-desktop and this will sort it out, but after an unknown period of time, it will happen again
this has been like this for the last couple of releases also.
I wonder if anyone else experiences this and how it can fixed
Thanks
Martin

K3b 2.0.2 bugfix release (resolves HAL problems) to be released soon
by Markus Slopianka
Hi.
Since you guys are going to release new versions of your distributions in the coming
months, I'd like to inform you that Michal Malek will release a new version soon --
probably next week.
It'll fix the HAL problems when running K3b on Platform 4.6 by introducing a compile-time
CMake parameter to disable HAL (K3B_ENABLE_HAL_SUPPORT=OFF).
Please include that version with your distro releases. It's a bugfix release, adding no
new features, hence it does not violate any feature freeze which might be in effect for
your distribution.
Bye, Markus
