The only official (tested) upgrade path will be from Woody, at least as
far as I know.

 Done, but without changes.
 /etc/kde3/ui/ directory IS EMPTY but not removed.
 I have two users in my system with the same problem.
 I tried to purge and reinstall kdelibs-data without changes.
 
 Any hint is well accepted.

May be a locale problem? what happens with the default language?




vnc:// opens new window

2004-10-04 Thread Christian Surlykke
Hi.

When I use vnc:// in konqueror it shows the remote desktop (w2k) in a new 
window.
Is there some configuration switch somewhere to make konqueror not open a new 
window?
I run latest kde from sid.

Same problem in other language.

I'm lost. I had that problem using a CVS compilation repository, and it 
continued even after purging them because I had "broken" ~/.kde files. But 
removing my confs solved my problem. I am on Sid but some friends are on 
Sarge and they doesn't have told me anything. And one "kde-evangelized" ex 
gnome user is ever bothering me about kde flaws (but he continues using it :)

Let's see, final try:

-_purge_ _all_ KDE packages
-There should be nothing in
 /etc/kde3
 /usr/share/config.kcfg
 /usr/share/apps/
-reinstall again
-create a new user
-try with that user
-...
-profit!?

Re: Supported Upgrade Path(s) To Debian Sarge KDE ?

2004-10-04 Thread Michael Peddemors
It would be handy.. since almost everyone seems to have moved up to 3.1.4, 
that this get considered for testing as well.

I just went through an upgrade again.. (Someone accidentally set KDE source to 
latest on a box, and the next guy went upgrade )

3.1.4 -> latest

If you are going to try.. start off by replacing the 3.1.4 source line to..

deb http://download.kde.org/stable/latest/Debian stable main
deb http://people.debian.org/~nobse/xfree86 woody main
deb http://ftp.freenet.de/pub/debian-openoffice/ woody-test main contrib

And do a remove of openoffice.org1.1-mimelnk, as that deb is left installed.. 
Do it first will save you some troubles.. 

Remember, this upgrades Xfree, so be ready for a lot of questions..

In our case we lost..

kdepim-libs kivio koffice-libs libqt3-mt libqt3-mt-dev openoffice.org1.1 
openoffice.org1.1-bin openoffice.org1.1-debian-files 
openoffice.org1.1-help-en openoffice.org1.1-l10n-en qt3-dev-tools xpdf 
xpdf-reader

And after install we had the following held back..

libnspr4 libnss3 libpaperg mozilla mozilla-browser mozilla-mailnews 
mozilla-psm xlibmesa-dev aspell debhelper 

'aspell' had to remove.. 
'debhelper' worked by doing apt-get install
'libpaperg' worked by doing apt-get install
'xlibmesa-dev' worked by doing an apt-get install

The mozilla stuff won't install, as it has dependency issues..  However, I 
think we can move to firefox or similar..

So an 'apt-get remove libnspr4 libnss3 mozilla mozilla-browser 
mozilla-mailnews mozilla-psm' cleaned the system up to a stable state again.

Then install 'mozilla-firefox' if you want..

But the upgrade was a lttle easier this time than last..
