It looks like the K3b with KDE 3.4 uses a older hal. The new one uses a new version and the old K3b doesn't like the old one. I tried it in command line and it says a lib file is missing, it is gone too. It is a hal file. There are some newer hal files in there though so I hope the new K3b will see them and get to work. Wonder if I could have slotted them? Maybe I will like KDE 3.5 and make progress.
I use ivman which uses dbus which uses hal or something like that. It's the beauty of the beast I guess. I guess I have to leave the USE line like it is, since I use it. I did compile a new kernel though. The modules are giving me fits though. It says there are none, except nvidia. I did a make all && make modules_install but no worky. I even tried make modules, no worky there either. Where's my hammer again. The only modules I have is for my sensors, temp and fan speed, well, nvidia too, no choice there. Funny thing is, they work and are loaded, even though they don't exist. Funny huh? I'm confused for sure. It works, I'm not touching it right now. I'll beat on it later. Oh, I didn't mind switching kernels, it's the reboot I hate. Too much like winders. ;) I'm on 19 of 225 for kde-meta. Say a prayer, wish me luck, whatever. This is on #1 in my sig. May be tomorrow, early I hope. Dale :-) -- To err is human, I'm most certainly human.
