Re: KDE after update

Did you update before everything was put into the repos? Did you get any "couldn't get file size" errors during the update?

Re: KDE after update

After las pacman -Syu I didn;t get any error. Everything was okay.
I tried startx again and is same but after ctrl-alt-backspace I got
_X11TransSocketINETConnect() can't get address for localhost:6000: Name
or service not known
drkonqi:cannot connect to xserver :0.0

Lynx is still very good )

Re: KDE after update

I am also seeing a multitude of kde crash daemon notices when logging into a kde session.

Re: KDE after update

I'm getting the same thing. A never ending stream of kde daemon crashes until I kill X.

No errors from pacman when I ran with "-Syu", but KDE is now effectively useless.

I did the full upgrade on two of my three machines. Major mistake. :-(

Re: KDE after update

as temporary workaround until kdebase-2 package arrices on your mirrors, add dbus and hal to daemons= array in rc.conf then the crashes stop.

Re: KDE after update

As usual, tpowa is the man with the solution!

You were correct, I was not using hal nor dbus. I added both to the "DAEMONS=" line in /etc/rc.conf and rebooted. The KDE daemon crashes are gone and I am typing this reply from my KDE desktop. :-)

Thanks for the lightning fast workaround. It is much appreciated.

BTW, when "kdebase-2" hits the mirrors, I will try it with and without the dbus and hal daemons. Once I have verified that it works both ways, I am going to keep dbus and hal running unless I can find a compelling reason to disable them.

Thanks again.

Re: KDE after update

The new kdebase works with and without dbus & hal.

Thanks, tpowa!
