KDE2.1.1 problems...

Post by Jan Magne Johanse » Mon, 02 Apr 2001 18:04:06



I have been trying to install KDE 2.1.1 (uppgrading from KDE2.0).
I am compiling the sources, and everything looks good. But when i try to run
the damn thing :), it
gets to
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------
knotify: KNotify::notifyBySound - trying to play file
/usr/local/kde/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav
sh: /usr/local/kde/share/sounds/KDE_Startup.wav: Access denied
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------

then it just hangs, and i have to kill the X-server with
ctrl-alt-backspace..........
The files are readable to all, and plays just fine with "play".

Versions:
QT 2.3.0
Xfree86 4.0.3

Any ideas?

Did you check the file permissions on the file it's complaining about?
Are the files in /usr/local/kde/share/sounds/ readable by all?

As i stated in my original posting, yes. They are readable to all.

1. KDE2.1 -> KDE2.1.1 upgrade problems

Hi there..  

I am hoping somebody may be able to help me sort out this annoying problem..

I have Mandrake 7.2 installed on two machines here. I have upgraded the
Kernel to 2.4.3 and everything is fine. I have also upgraded KDE from 2.0
to 2.1 using the Mandrake binary rpms from www.kde.org ...  However, when I
install the 2.1.1 binary rpms, when I log out and log in again, I
get the message 'There was an error setting up inter-process communications
for KDE. DCOPserver not running.' When trying to restart x, I get the above
message and can't get KDE to run... I have to remove the new packages, and
reinstall the old ones before KDE will run again..

I have tried everything I can think of to get it working, but without
success...

Are there any packages I need to upgrade other than the KDE ones to get
2.1.1 working, or is there something stupid I am forgetting to do? (Bit of
a newbie really.....)

Thanks for any help :)

David
