Can't type into 8.0 Yast2 after KDE 3.1 UG
Hello,
I recently upgraded my KDE desktop in SuSE 8.0 to v3.1 via the SuSE Linux KDE service web site (can't give URL, not enough posts). I only upgraded the base package, and uninstalled all the development packages "kde*-devel" as I don't intend to do any KDE development. After this, although the Control Center would start, Yast2 would not--just gray screen. After installing kdebase3-SuSE, which was NOT part of the base package on the KDE service web site (an oversight?), Yast2 comes up OK, but I can't type anything into it! The mouse actions work fine, and I can type in any other program, suggesting that keyboard configuration is not the problem. Has anyone else run into and solved this problem? If so, your suggestions would be highly valued. Thanks, Chris |
You have either only done a partial upgrade or you have a scrambled mixture of old and new kde packages. Use this command:
rpm -qa > /root/rpm.list.txt to create a file with the names of all of your rpms. Then check to make sure that all kde packages are the same version and that you have the corresponding versions of Qt, arts, and two of the lib packages. ___________________________________ Be prepared.

Return to KDE 3.0
Thanks for your advice. I suspect you're right, but I can't spare the time to troubleshoot it. Since it's a problem with Yast only, I am probably missing an update to a SuSE-specific package. KDE 3.0 is good enough for now, though.
