Yeah I don't think there is much more to gain here... ultimately it was a KDM problem related to some Qt libraries. I suspect that without any RPM info we can't really work things out. There is a good chance that a beta3 install will "Just Work"(tm) so lets hope for that and cross any failures there as we come across them :) Cheers Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
