:Hello all,
: I have seen quite a few posts in here about problems with KDE. I personally
:still have the problem that KDE will show its splash screen, get to
:"initializing peripherals" and just sit there. I have noticed a few PR's,
:etc., and KDE's bug database had at least on message claiming this to be a
:problem with FreeBSD's threads. I have gone so far as to remove every port
:that KDE depends on (except X) and rebuilt through the ports, but I just
:haven't had any luck. I am running Xfree86 3.3.6 (built from ports) over a
:year ago, and KDE2 cvsuped many times, but the latest has been 7 days ago. Any
:known workarounds/fixes would be most appreciated.
:
:regards,
:Galen Sampson
I'm having weird problems with kde2 as well.. it keeps screwing up
the fonts. It forgets about font families, changes my defaults, and
does all sorts of other nasty things.
I noticed that when I did a 'make' in the port for kde2, that it didn't
bother updating older kde2-related libraries that were already installed
but out of date, so it was running the kde2 desktop binaries against
older shared libraries. It took a while to go through all the ports
and deinstall them and now I am rebuilding the whole thing from scratch
again. Maybe it will work better with all the shared libs synced up.
I've actually noticed this with ports before... there needs to be a
make target to tell ports to upgrade everything that is out of date or
something like that. I dunno.
