Upgrading FC3 to KDE 3.4

wzup · 04-11-2005, 07:54 AM

I followed the instructions at this site: http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/
I added the repositories and did a:
yum install kde qt arts kdelibs kdebase gtk+ gtk2 redhat-artwork

The problem is that when I have downloaded the packages I get this error:
Downloading Packages:
warning: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID ff6382fa
public key not available for OpenEXR-1.2.1-0.fdr.1.3.i386.rpm
What can I do to resolve this error?
I have also used this command to download GPG keys

Code:

cd /etc/apt/gpg; wget http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gp...382fa-3e1ab2ca

I tried to use "yup update" too, but get the same error on another file.

Edit: I did this command

Code:

rpm --import http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/gp...382fa-3e1ab2ca

Look like its working now.

I installed kde and ran yum update. Restarted, and now I cant start KDE. The login manager doesnt start, just command prompt. The NVIDIA drivers seems to start when I use startx and use a default window manager. Here is the error I get when i type startkde:

Code:

startkde
xsetroot:  unable to open display ''
which: no gpg-agent in

What can I do to get back into KDE?

Ok, I managed to start KDE by launching GDM. KDM wouldn't start. GDM doesnt start automaticly like it used to. The startup doesnt seem to get the NVIDIA going. I have reinstalled the NVIDIA drivers and the drivers work, but only when I run startx or GDM. How do I get GDM to autostart. Would also like to have the fancy graphical boot wich used to use the NVIDIA drivers.

Edit: Seems like I helped myself once again. Added nvidia to others in /etc/rc.sysinit, and now kdm loads perfectly.

Have some problems still. KDE is not the default window manager. How do I set KDE to default? Is it possible to switch back to GDM?. I think it looks nicer.
