KDE trouble

[AE]

Hello everybody!

I just tried to upgrade KDE2 to version 2.1.2. It went well except two things. KDE controlcenter is reporting KDE version 2.0.1 (the version I was upgrading from) but kde-config is reporting 2.1.2. The second problem
is that a window that is minimized can never be "unminimized" again or closed. If I choose maximize both minimize and maximize is checked, but nothing happend. Perhaps I have missed some important file. Which files is required for KDE to work?

I installed these:
kde-i18n.rpm
kconfigure.rpm
kdebase.rpm
kdelibs.rpm
kdesupport.rpm
kdeutils.rpm
kscanlib.rpm
liblcms.rpm
libmng.rpm
libogg.rpm
libvorbis.rpm
qt.rpm
qt-extensions.rpm


Did I forget something? :(

Looks like your missing the kdeadmin RPM.

I'm not totally sure but thats all I can think of.

Nope, that did not solve the problems. Nor did qt-static.rpm. The aboutbox for every kde-app (including controle center) is showing the right version, for example "KDE Controle Center v2.0 (Using KDE 2.1.2)". The most annoying problem however is to not being able to use the taskbar or minimizing apps.

Thanks anyway!

I would remove all kde packages, delete everything that is left in /opt/kde (check if it the same directory for your distribution) and resinstall kde-2.1.1 .

Of course if you have compiled packages for kde and installed in /opt/kde (what is default for most kde applications) then these applications would be lost.

If you do not have another windowsmanager installed, before removing kde (what you should do from the console or from another windowmanager when no kde session is opened) you should install another one, so if something goes wrong you can use X and not only the console.

That did solve even more than the two initial problems, BIG thanks! :)
