Re: [Sheflug] KDE DcopServer Problems

[Alan Wilson <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi James,

Any help would be really apprecated thanks.

Well I've had this problem for a while.  I started with Mandrake 8.0 on
a stand alone PC, everything worked fine (that was KDE 2.1.1)  Then I
upgraded to the Beta relase of KDE 2.2 from the internet, that worked
fine.  The problems started when I tried to go from KDE 2.2 to KDE 2.2.1
Which I've tried RPM's for Mandrake 8.0 (from the KDE website) and in a
final last ditch attempt I upgraded from Mandrake 8.0 to 8.1 and used
the binaries that came with the distro.  Still no luck I'm afraid, but
every time I have tried it has been on top of the old version, i.e. I've
not formated my hard drive and done a complete rebuild.

I'm not trying to connect to a remote server at all, but I did try and
configure my box to be able to connect to a LAN (to no avail as my
Network card isn't supported) so it is possible that I still have some
networky stuff lieing around causing problems.

If my .xsession-errors file would help too, let me know.

Thanks


Alan
