Exit KDE and from a console session, remove KDE with

Is it essential to do it this way?

I did a "pacman -Syu" (which upgraded, but broke, KDE) followed by a "pacman
-S kde" (and responding yes to all the "already installed; upgrade anyway?"
messages).

This did seem to work.  Anyone have any reason why this wouldn't be
sufficient?

P.S. I did experience one problem after the upgrade: KDE's sound (arts or akodelib) is choppy on one of my PC's at home. But I'm not sure that that problem is attributable to any error in the upgrade. I'm guessing it's either: a) a bug in the new akodelib, or b) a problem with the kludgey new sound module my card needs (emu10k1x); that module is first appearing in 2.6.11, so maybe not all the kinks are worked out yet. Problem is definitely KDE related, though, as XMMS didn't have any such problem. I'm going to check out sound on a different box with a different card now, and see if maybe this is a module specific problem. If anyone else is having sound problems with the new KDE, though, please do chime in.


Hi,

Ditto on thanks for putting this up. Is kdm gone? I prefer it over gdm.
