Remove and Reinstall KDE 2.2
Hi Lists, I have a situation where I somehow have both KDE 2.2.1 and KDE 2.2.2 run ning on my box. I am using SuSE 7.3 Pro and have updated KDE only using SuSE's rpms. I am having trouble with Kapital installing due apparently to being confused about the two KDE's. What is the safest way, without reinstalling SuSE, to remove and reinstall KDE and bring it back to 2.2.2, without losing all of my links to apps and ending up with a hosed box? I am willing to just back up everything and reinstall if that is necessary. I need to clean up this as it is my production box. I think my troubles started when KDE hung and locked up whiledoing a clean install of SuSE 7.3 Pro. If there is a 7.4 soon, maybe I'll just wait. Any help appreciated. The box is very usable for everything except Kapital.

[snip] Glenn (et al), The Internet was clearly the ruination of Packet Radio. [snip] I was proud to have donated my time having produced the schematics for the TNC-1 (which Heathkit later copied and used in their HD-4040 TNC kit, with some minor changes) and also helped with PCB design issues. The packet radio community owes you and many other selfless hams a great debt of gratitude for pioneering the development of the TNC to its present state. [snip] TPRS (Texas Packet Radio Society) produced their TexNet boards. Truely the BEST designed routing hub I had ever seen for packet radio networking. Amen to that. For a few years, west Texas and southeastern New Mexico had a really good network, with an interface to the TexNet. Unfortunately, there was a class of packeteers that drove packet right into the ground, with hourly broadcasts of *tons* of ALLNM, ALLTX, ALLUSA and WW bulletins, the content of which impressed me about as much as some of Rush Limbaugh's monologues, (and sounded strangely similar, to me). This is the kind of traffic that killed the keyboard-to-keyboard facet of this hobby, IMNSHO. I mean, 'Pardon me, sir or ma'am, as the case may be, but you obviously mistook me for someone who gives a sh*t.' Did anyone actually read all that crap? [snip] Sure it was nice knowing you could send data over the air, but it was tedious, slow, and often very congested. As more Hams found the Internet they abandoned their packet Radio stations and many of the community-wide networks fell apart. Yeah, and APRS pretty well put the finishing touches on the eradication of packet radio as we knew it. I had an APRS station for a while. It was an exhilarating activity, in the same category as watching paint dry. ;o( Even my home Packet station hasn't been on the air in years. There just isn't a decent network any longer and there's certainly nothing out there of interest (to me, anyway) anymore... :-( Sadly, I must agree with just everything you've said. Keeping a station on the air today is little more than an exercise in futility (or the epitome of hope.) VBG But my F6FBB BBS station has been on the air here in ABQ for the 19 months I have lived here, and my JNOS BBS was active from 1990 until I moved here from Roswell. Work is now in progress to add a node in the east mountains, which will (hopefully) re-establish the path to southeastern New Mexico and west Texas. I preferred the JNOS (TCP/IP) BBS system, but the JNOS support mail list has apparently evaporated or gone underground. (If anyone knows where the list has moved, please let me know, off-list.)

another new site feature for Linux SxS

Well, a while back we converted from .htm to .html (like it should be) and a lot of places (Caldera, Google, etc) still maintain pointers to the old pages. I've been contacting the sites and getting them to fix their links on a case by case basis. But enough is enough. So, when I upgraded Apache earlier this week, I installed mod_speling . I'm pleased to announce that the it now (usually) corrects the broken links and the number of 404 errors have decreased to almost 0.

Re: Fw: gandalf.eisnet 02/06/02:15.45 system check
Thanks, Llama. The reason for 2.4.2 is because I attempt to stick with Caldera-stock kernels. Granted, I have not done any updates to this box since install... the reason is the reason for the last install (say that 10 times fast and it'll STILL sound impressively confusing). It's a long story but last time I upgraded everything the box no longer booted and I have had too much to do to worry about it. It'll take a few more times on other boxes before I feel secure again stress. I have a feeling this has something to do with a combination of things... partly having to do with the Mandrake box being bounced, and partly having to do with the Samba differences, and possibly kernel-related. I'll have to do another stab at the upgrade process. Any ideas on the CDROM icons? That flipped me out! Thanks again.

I'll admit outright that i'm no samba guru, so if this is caused by Samba, i don't know that i'll be able to offer much assistance. That said, the first thing i'd do is disable Samba, and see if the problem returns. A few things that jumped out at me: 1) You're running some fairly old packages (samba kernel for starters). THat kernel has a known significant filesystem corruption bug. I can't think of any good reason to run a 2.4.2 kernel when a 2.4.17 kernel has been out for roughly 2 months. 2) The error below file-max limit 8192 reached kinda speaks volumes. Sounds like your box is opening alot of files at boot (for no reason apparent to me). 3) There are some known interoperability issues between really old and relatively new samba versions. Something you never commented upon is what (if any) changes you've made to the system recently. If you've made no changes, then i'd say that there are two possibilities: 1) Hardware failure 2) The system has been compromised, and someone is maliciously breaking things. SNIP _ Do You Yahoo!?

I too got very badly burnt trying to upgrade from COL2.2 to 2.3, and it took me the better part of a month to recover. I generally upgrade everything manually now, rebuilding from the SRPMs. It avoids having wacky upgrade scripts break things, and gives me a more optimized system. Sure, it might take a few days of work, but in the end, its worth it. As for the CDROM icons, i have no real idea. I haven't seriously used KDE in over a year.
