KDE2 with koffice problem, again

[david]

Okay, I just alien'ed a bunch of deb packages I was planning on useing with storm, but it didn't want to work, so I alien'ed them into rpm, and installed with -U --nodeps, because they were being a *****.

Anywho, I posted about this earlier. When I try to start up KWord, I get an error about the X-KDE-NativeMimeType not being in the kword desktop file. So I mosy on over to /usr/share/applnk/Office, and there's my kword.desktop file, and the X-KDE-NativeMimeType is in it. So I chmod it to 777 to make sure that kde can read it, and even copy it to my home .kde/share/applnk dir. BUT IT STILL DOESN'T WORK!!!

Could someone PLEASE help??? I really wanna use Koffice http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/biggrin.gif

I'm confused with the first part of your post about using alien to makes debs or rpms or something. Was there a question in there I missed?
So are you using storm? Or something else?
And how did you go about getting kde2 on your system? Compiled from source? apt-get?

Need more info.

I was going to use storm, but it didn't work. I had dl'ed all the kde2 debs at my uncle's work one day and burnt them. After storm didn't work, I re-installed Drake, which I am now using. Using alien, I made the debs into rpms.

I think it might have something to do with the kdelibs package, because I've never been able to get it to install right. With the deb turned rpm, I get an error about it stopping at one point because corrupted something or other. So I just used alien -g to extract everything from it, and then did "cp -ru etc /" and "cp -ru usr /", so it copied all the libs and everything.

but then again, I'm only getting this error with kword. http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/confused.gif

Could anyone post a "kword.desktop" file here, so that I can compare the both of them please?

Sorry about your problems with storm.
I don't know what to tell you (at least from here at work) to do with this kword problem.
I use storm and simply did
apt-get install task-koffice
and it downloaded and installed everything I needed to have kde2 and koffice and konqueror work.
It all works just fine.
Sorry.
If I get home and look at my kword.desktop before someone else posts with a solution, I will post what mine says.
