Did you delete your .kde directory, or at least the config directory within it ?? I deleted my .kde directory and then kde2rc2 came right up and functioned correctly. -----Original Message----- From: Praedor Tempus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2000 12:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Niiiiice.

After the installation, kde and kdm were REAL squirrelly. Kdm would let me start kde but nothing else. The panel in kde was blank and nothing in the menus worked. During my troubleshooting, I did an "rpm -qa | grep kde" and found that ALL the kde-1.1.2 rpms had been replaced except for kdebase-1.1.2. In that one instance, I had both kdebase-1.1.2 AND kdebase-2.0-1 installed. Oops. I manually removed the kdebase-1.1.2 rpm and reinstalled kde-2.0 (all rpms) again. This time, kdm was better behaved, though it wouldn't start "failsafe". Kde was better, with proper icons, though the panel was, again, nearly useless. About half the items I tried in the kde menus did not work. That was my experience. The ONE kdebase-1.1.2 rpm did not get replaced when I did it. I had to remove it myself. As a result of this, I suggest that it would be better to FIRST remove ALL the kde-1.1.2 rpms and then install all the kde-2.0 rpms rather than depend upon them to properly replace your old kde rpms. As for the other problems I've had, I am still trouble- shooting. Hopefully, by the end of the day I will have it fixed and running. I really don't care for gnome very much. praedor [...] > > Give it a shot and let me know...
