thats what I did too. it would draw the disk icon of the kde startup and then exit back with a couple screefulls of error messages.

well, could you share, what those error messages were?

and did u update only the <kde> or all the packages from current?

I had that problem with 4.3.2 and it turned out that I had not successfully upgraded qt because the package did not download fully. Did you install all of the packages listed here?

Yes, I downloaded everything on that list. I must have missed something because I went back and did it with slackpkg and it worked fine. The only issue now is finding where slackpkg stores the packages so I can save them.

all you have to do is edit your /etc/slackpkg/mirrors to this.

"http://slackware.mirrors.tds.net/pub/slackware/slackware-current/"

and for 64 bit

now comment your old one. because you can only have one mirror.

in runlevel 3 login as root and do a slackpkg update then
slackpkg upgrade-all then you have to do a slackpkg install-new.

if this does not work do a slackpkg clean-system then do as before.

I just upgraded to current - except the kernel and kde packages, since I use a custom kernel. Then installed all the _vb pkgs since I already had them downloaded. Everything seems fine except for hp-toolbox. Something between sip and qt broke it. I don't really care since I never used the toolbox anyway. I was running 4.3.1, and I just had to try 4.3.2.

You may want to get the kde packages from current rather then the vb packages. From reading in the other thread there are a few bugfixes added into the -current ones.

please do prefer packages from the official tree, rather than the unofficial builds like i had published.

take care,

Are you saying I can upgradepkg these -current packages on a 13.0 system?

Well - I have a problem with the new 4.3.2 packages.
First - I can't change the theme. The Apply button stays grayed-out.
Second - The Login Manager won't load for me to automatically login my user.

Not showstoppers because everything else seems to work fine.

The second one fixed itself. Probably just me.

this has been a request to the kde team, regarding the theme, that they will be putting into the system settings panel as a kcm module. but you can change your them by right-clicking on the desktop, and choosing "desktop settings"
it's pretty discrete, but its there.

Take care,

Thanks vbatts! That did the trick in a hurry.

Drakeo · 10-26-2009, 11:00 PM

You know vbatts the current slackware kde 4.3.2 build uses a new version of PYQT. this was the major fix to the QT module. any way
I really like the 4,3.2 is feels very light and fast. I find it much more fun to use then the 4.2.2 hang in there. Keep up the great work.

4.3.3 is out from kde today, I got the e-mail
