I have upgraded my kernel to 2.6.14 and KDE 3.5. After doing so, I could not log back in to the desktop. On a previous post, I was kindly guided to the fact that this is a known bug "KDGKBSENT" (not sure if it is a but in the new kernel or KDE). The apparent fix for this is in downloading and installing kbd-1.12-12.1. However, in trying to do so I get a complaint of missing dependencies which I know I already have installed, namely libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4). This error also shows up during boot and loads the legacy fonts.
Does anyone know what lines in the /lib/kbd files I can amend manually to fix this problem?
I have been able to move files and log on as a new user, but this an annoying bug that I would like to fix. Any help very much appreciated.
Thanks for the reply. I am using FC4 with kernel 2.6.14.1365. All I did was use the Red Hat update agent to upgrade the kernel and KDE to 3.5. I was advised that this was a known bug and I should download kbd-1.12-12.1 as this was supposedly a fix. When I tried this, I got a dependency error needing libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4). When I boot I get a setfont error because this file is missing. I have not been able to install libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4) becuase I get additional dependency error for glibc-common among others, which I know is installed already.
This has really got me stumped. Since yours is the only reply, I am assuming it everyone else stumped as well.
Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried to install the source RPM, but couldn't because of a missing gpg key as well as the dependency for libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4).
These are probably minor problems for a Linux verteran, but I'm still very much a newbie.
But, everytime I beat one of these things I learn a little more. Haven't given up. I love Linux.
