Hi...
amd64/3.9-current
This is not a bug report since I want to be sure this is not
because of my own
stupidity (this is why I don't include much info).
I just compiled and installed the latest kde from ports. After
that, I removed a
whole bunch of packages (gnome related). Then I created a local
test user to try
KDE. Kde starts fine except that:
- most of the icons are missing (there're replaced with the blue
kde gear)
- when clicking on my Home on the Desktop, a window appear with
"Open with ?",
making it impossible to use (as a matter of fact, clicking on any
available
icon either does nothing or make this windows appear)
- the KDE menu is empty (from memory, only Logout and Lock screen
are available)
I then reinstalled all the packages I removed earlier and now KDE
works fine
(well except for the missing icons and the empty menu except that
some gnome
program were added to it). Any idea what could cause this ? Maybe
there's a
dependency missing.
I can reproduce this on another i386 box.
If anyone can reproduce this too, please let me know as I will
know it is not
because of my broken brain again ;-)
I have run into some of this (some icons not showing up), it looks
like
some resource exhaustion. I hope to be able to debug it soon.
I would ask you to check your ulimit -a, wipe out your kde config
files and
processes, and try again with bigger limits.
Just a data point on this:
After upgrading from 3.8-RELEASE (i386) to 3.8-current (last week of
Dec.) via snapshot & upgrading packages I noticed that most of my KDE
icons were not displaying, and syntax highlighting was not available
in kwrite and quanta. The programs did run just fine otherwise,
though. I upgraded to 3.9-beta (Jan 24) and upgraded my packages
again from the snapshot packages (Feb. 6) earlier this week. The
icons did not come back, nor did the syntax highlighting.
For grins, I installed gnome-session, and now my kde icons and syntax
highlighting are back.
I didn't fiddle with permissions or limits.
