upgrading KDE from 9.1
I'm running a Slackware 9.1 system here (well, it started out that way), and I decided to upgrade KDE a little. So I grabbed...
kdelibs-3.5.1-i486-1 kdebase-3.5.1-i486-1 qt-3.3.5-i486-1 ...from slackware-current and ran upgradepkg. So far, so good. But when I try to run something like konqueror, I get messages complaining about... Could not find start_launcher: /opt/kde/lib/kde3/klauncher.so: undefined symbol: start_launcher kdeinit: Communication error with launcher. Exiting! --------------------------------- It looks like dcopserver is already running. If you are sure that it is not already running, remove /home/greg/.DCOPserver_greg__0 and start dcopserver again. --------------------------------- ...and konqueror doesn't start. If I try k3b, I get messages like... k3b: Symbol `_ZTI18KUniqueApplication' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTI9KComboBox' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTIN6KParts14DockMainWindowE' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTI11KMainWindow' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTIN6KParts8PartBaseE' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking Could not find start_launcher: /opt/kde/lib/kde3/klauncher.so: undefined symbol: start_launcher kdeinit: Communication error with launcher. Exiting! ...but at least it starts after brining up lots of little dialog boxes complaining about malformed URLs. But it doesn't work. So I must have something missing or out of sync, but I'm not sure which part that is. FWIW, here's the output of 'ldd /opt/kde/lib/kde3/klauncher.so' linux-gate.so.1 => (0xffffe000) libkdeinit_klauncher.so => /opt/kde/lib/libkdeinit_klauncher.so (0xb7fc2000) libkio.so.4 => /opt/kde/lib/libkio.so.4 (0xb7c78000) libkdeui.so.4 => /opt/kde/lib/libkdeui.so.4 (0xb7992000) libkdesu.so.4 => /opt/kde/lib/libkdesu.so.4 (0xb7978000) libkwalletclient.so.1 => /opt/kde/lib/libkwalletclient.so.1 (0xb7966000) libkdecore.so.4 => /opt/kde/lib/libkdecore.so.4 (0xb7719000) libDCOP.so.4 => /opt/kde/lib/libDCOP.so.4 (0xb76e4000) libresolv.so.2 => /lib/tls/libresolv.so.2 (0xb76b6000) libutil.so.1 => /lib/tls/libutil.so.1 (0xb76b2000) libart_lgpl_2.so.2 => /usr/lib/./libart_lgpl_2.so.2 (0xb769b000) libidn.so.11 => /usr/local/lib/libidn.so.11 (0xb766b000) libkdefx.so.4 => /opt/kde/lib/libkdefx.so.4 (0xb7640000) libqt-mt.so.3 => /usr/lib/qt/lib/libqt-mt.so.3 (0xb6f5b000) libmng.so.1 => /usr/lib/./libmng.so.1 (0xb6f01000) libjpeg.so.62 => /usr/lib/./libjpeg.so.62 (0xb6ee4000) libGL.so.1 => /usr/lib/./libGL.so.1 (0xb6e71000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0xb6e5b000) libXrandr.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrandr.so.2 (0xb6e57000) libXcursor.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1 (0xb6e4d000) libXinerama.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.so.1 (0xb6e4b000) libXft.so.2 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXft.so.2 (0xb6e39000) libfontconfig.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 (0xb6e12000) libfreetype.so.6 => /usr/lib/./libfreetype.so.6 (0xb6dae000) libexpat.so.0 => /usr/lib/./libexpat.so.0 (0xb6d8f000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb6d8a000) libpng.so.3 => /usr/lib/./libpng.so.3 (0xb6d60000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0xb6d52000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0xb6c8b000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0xb6c82000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0xb6c6b000) libpthread.so.0 => /lib/tls/libpthread.so.0 (0xb6c58000) libXrender.so.1 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXrender.so.1 (0xb6c50000) libz.so.1 => /usr/lib/./libz.so.1 (0xb6c43000) libstdc++.so.5 => /usr/lib/./libstdc++.so.5 (0xb6b92000) libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0xb6b6f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb6a40000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /usr/lib/./libgcc_s.so.1 (0xb6a36000) libstdc++.so.6 => /usr/local/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0xb6956000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0xb6903000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000) Any hints on what I should try next? Thanks, Greg Buchholz (P.S. I don't use KDE as my desktop, I just want to run programs like k3b.) |
slack 9.1 runs kde 3.14......that's a huge jump to 3.5x
you'll need to read the changelogs that pat has posted to see what packages/libraries will need to be upgraded so 3.5x will work properly!! |
removepkg
Looks like I just needed to remove the old KDE package. Now konqueror works fine. But k3b still reports...
k3b: Symbol `_ZTI18KUniqueApplication' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTI9KComboBox' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTIN6KParts14DockMainWindowE' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTI11KMainWindow' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking k3b: Symbol `_ZTIN6KParts8PartBaseE' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking ...I wonder where this comes from. |
Just warning
And even those messages from k3b must just be warning, since I just successfully burned a DVD.

Why not just upgrade to Slack v10.2? You'll automatically get a KDE upgrade, plus numerous other upgrades as well.
|
Easier
Because it is easier to just upgrade KDE libs than the rest of my system.

I had to upgrade the following packages from Slackware-current to get KDE 3.5 working good on my Slackware 10.2.
x/* kde/* l/glibc d/gcc d/gcc-g++ l/libpng a/acl (new package) Quote:

Yeah.
I just do all of my upgrading incrementally, instead of all at once. So going to something like 10.2 would be a step backwards for me in terms of kernel, glibc, (and now) KDE, etc.
