KDE 2.2.2 Problems

[PuterFreaK]

When trying to update to the latest KDE (2.2.2) I get the following error:

# rpm -ivh kdelibs-2.2.2-1.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libxsltbreakpoint.so.1 is needed by kdelibs-2.2.2-1

I have no idea where to get that file...Anyone else sucessfully upgraded? I am using RedHat 7.2.

I've not tried to update to KDE 2.2.2, but the file that you need is here http://www.rpmfind.net (http://www.rpmfind.net//linux/RPM/rawhide/1.0/i386/RedHat/RPMS/libxslt-1.0.7-4.i386.html). Good Luck.

If you are upgrading KDE, then use rpm -Uvh instead of rpm -ivh.

'i' is to install if previous package does not exist.

'U' is to upgrade if previous package does exist.

I use 'U' either way.

OK I got KDE to install but now I am getting the following error when I try starting it:


kdeinit: relocation error: /usr/lib/libkdeui.so.3: undefined symbol: styleChange__8QToolBarR6QStyle


Any ideas?

Search KDE's faq's and/or bug reports and also try Google.

Have you installed the newest version of libxslt ?

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem with kde 2.2.2. When I visit a web site in Konqueror, and type text into a textbox, it is really slow and hangs the system. When I type something, I have to wait several seconds to see what I typed.

I have Redhat 7.2

OK I found the problem...I had 4 versions of Qt installed. I removed them all and installed the latest and now KDE works!

One problem.....My fonts are completly messed up. In programs such as kedit all the fonts that come with KDE that have worked fine in the past either look like crap or have an inch of space between letters. It also set the default font for virtually every kde application to be some unreadable cursive font.

Any ideas what do do about this?

Here are the packages I installed and the order in which I installed them. So far all is working just fine in SuSE 7.3. First time in the 3 years I have been using Linux that I actually got a KDE upgrade to work without a major failure and without having to wait until the latest and greatest OS update came out. But I am not seeing much improvement. Everything seems to be the same as far as speed and other enhancements. It's mostly a security update than anything.

2.2.2 is a minor update. I didn't notice any speed improvements either. The biggest problem with KDE overall right now is the damn animated gif problem that causes konqueror to become almost unresponsive on some webpages, anyone know how to fix this? I noticed it was submitted as a bug a long time ago so it's not as if they don't know about it.

The easiest way to install KDE 2.2.2 or any major updates is just throw all the rpms into one directory and type "rpm *rpm -U", if it gives dependancy errors either add files to the directory or remove them and run the command again, very simple this way.

2.2.2 installed fine for me, the only problem was artsd wasn't crashing on startup which was ironically convenient before since it just caused problems anyways so I had to go disable it, and the default font in konsole was screwed up, no other problems though. I did try to get artsd working before I disabled it, I've tried it with oss and alsa and I've *never* been able to get arts working. Anyways, back to using plain alsa.

Anyone else had this problem with fonts?
I have no idea what to do. I know its not a problem with 2.2.2 because the same thing happened in 2.2.1.

The only difference Ive noticed in 2.2.2 is that when you go Help--&gt; About KDE it says that you are using 2.2.2..........
