KDe 4.9 and pacman problems

because my messages to the ML seems to disappearI will ask here.

Hello,

Today I upgraded my KDe 4.8.4 to KDE 4.9.

I did all the steps according to the manual.

Everything went without any problems.

But when I start up KDE with startx I see the splashscreen and after that the screen went white.

KDE 4.8 works fine.

I have a Intel graphical card.

Second problem:

When I do pacman -Syu I see a lot of messages that the installed versions of kde are newer then the versions in [extra]

Anyone who can help me solve this two problems?

Re: KDe 4.9 and pacman problems

hi, about your second problem, seems like if you has disable [kde-unstable] repo after your install, is the case? (you can make pacman -Syy to force update of all repo, just in case   )

about your first problem, white screen in startup KDE, is the same with kdm? I have nvidia card with nouveau drivers and all works fine, so i can't test like you :s

Nope, I did not disable any repo and I don't have kdm installed, so I can test this.
If it needed I can install kdm.

Edit 1: If I look at messages.log it looks like nepomuk is crashing with a segfault.
