Mandrakelinux release 10.1 (Cooker) for i586
...and FWIW, XFree86 Version 4.4.99.2
Release Date: 30 March 2004
With any major updates, it's often neccessary to log out of
KDE (or whatever), then Ctrl+Alt+BkSp to force an X restart, then
log back into KDE. Most times I run this alias (as root) before
logging out
alias upall='rpm --rebuilddb && updatedb && update-menus -n &&
ldconfig'
So far nobody's reported (cooker list) KDE failure. I found I
needed to use several cooker mirrors simultaneously to get all
the required Gnome update files.
Another trick when some files are missing on the mirrors is
to run 'urpmc' to see all available updates. Then install those
which don't have missing files (deps). You're KDE problem smacks
of incomplete or mismatched package updates. You didn't use
--auto or --allow-force, did you?
