Update Killed KDE on OpenSUSE 10.3
Hi all,
I stupidly installed a patch yesterday without checking the full details, and I rebooted the system. After reboot, I couldn't access it remotely. I plugged in monitor and saw filesystem errors and it wasn't booting. I got past those errors with Code:
fsck -y But unfortunately KDE is broken. It says, Quote:
Does anyone know how I can fix my broken KDE? I can log in with failsafe but it gives this after login Code:
/usr/bin/manpath: can't set the locale; make sure $LC_* and $LANG are correct Code:
user2:~ # kde |
Probably the fastest route is to reinstall either all or all your KDE-related packages (and others that might be involved). If it was just KDE settings trouble, you could just remove any .kde and/or .qt directories from your home directory (or try creating a new user and see how it works on that), but in this case I suppose it's not that easy -- it's not necessarily just KDE that's doing odd things. And if reinstalling KDE packages doesn't help and you don't want to spend a lot of time hunting down the reason, take backups of your precious data and reinstall the system. Typically you shouldn't need to do that, but on the other hand, it's probably faster and cleaner than tweaking and trying out things if you don't know what exactly you're looking for.
So take backups, your home directory and the "hidden" directories in it, do a reinstall (should take about one hour nowadays or less) and push the data back. |
Hi like you suggested I removed the .kde and .qt directories from my home folder but I still can't log in (with kde).

Can I reinstall/refresh KDE from command line? Some kind of repair on it... I spent so many hours tweaking this box the thought of reinstalling it all makes me want to spew! I keep CloneZilla disc-images, but my most recent one isn't as close as I'd like! I should have setup a schedule!! So how can I refresh KDE packages from the command? Thanks |
update killed kde on opensuse 10.3
Being in the command line it is possible to start yast2
So it might be possible to install kde again Maybe it worth to try it all the best |
If you're using suser-jengelh packages most probably it's their fault.
I had the same thing. After reinstalling the whole system without that repo I got KDE working again. |
I updated all the kde packages but it's still dead.

Oh well Can anyone recommend the safest repos to use with 10.3? Time to restore my discs with CloneZilla.. |
