Last week I installed 1.3_ALPHA from scratch (no big problems, fine!),
and tried to get KDE working. The main problem I had installing this
great enviroment (congratulation to all who contributed) on my RiscPC
(Strong ARM, IDE 2.2GB, 24MB RAM) was the following:
the system complained about no mime types being installed and the whole
user interface did not have any icons at all. I created a link in
/usr/pkg/bin: "ln -s ../share share" and everything was fine - perhaps
I did something wrong with the packages I downloaded from the usual
RiscBSD ftp site.
But I have two questions:=20
Still there is an error message from the script startkde. Its output is
the following:
# startkde =20
kpanel: waiting for windowmanager
Starting audio server with talk id 65536.
Some pixmaps are not valid: ShapeMode dissabled
NAME of DISPLAY =3D '_0.0'
NAME of DISPLAY =3D '_0.0'
NAME of DISPLAY =3D '_0.0'
NAME of DISPLAY =3D '_0.0'
N=3D0
What does it mean by "some pixmaps are not valid". Do I have to install
some more pixmaps? Is there a logfile with the exact filename of the
invalid pixmap? I did not change any config file.
The second question is: when I want to open a directory with kfm, then
the following output appears in the console window:=20
**********A
Done
######## (1) lstURL =3D 'file:/root/Desktop/Templates/'
NAME of DISPLAY =3D '_0.0'
ERROR: Could not start kioslave
But the program kioslave exists - was it not installed properly? The =
kfm
window displays "Working..." in the status bar, but nothing happens.
If I try to start it manually:
# kioslave
A new kioslave has been started
Usage: kioslave path
# stty erase ^H=20
# kioslave file:/root
A new kioslave has been started
QSocketNotifier: Invalid socket specified
QSocketNotifier: Internal error
^C
Thanks for any help, Roland
