[arch-general] kde-4.5.4 loads kde3 kicker and background (even with ~/.kde & ~/.kde4 removed)
Guys, I need to know if this is an arch packaging issue or a kde.org issue. On my arch box with all kde4 updates through today, I launch kde4 and my kde3 kicker and the kde4 plasma panel are both present: [26k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/arch/bugs/kde4/k3+k4_panels-640.jpeg So I moved ~/.kde4 figuring it was the problem and launched kde4 again. Still it pulled in my kde3 kicker and background. Huh? So I moved ~/.kde and ~/.kde4 to make sure there was nothing kde (3 or 4) related in my home directory and I launched kde4 again. To my surprise, kde4 loaded it's plasma panel and then proceeded to load the default kdemod3 kicker and kdemod3 background?? See: [24k] http://www.3111skyline.com/dl/arch/bugs/kde4/k3+k4_panels-new-640.jpg Obviously something is very wrong here. kde4 should not be loading the kdemod3 kicker or background. Looking at the newly created ~/.kde4/share/config files, the kickerrc file contains the following: 15:42 providence:~> cat .kde4/share/config/kickerrc [$Version] update_info=kickerrc.upd:kde_3_1_sizeChanges,kickerrc.upd:kde_3_4_reverseLayout,kickerrc.upd:kde_3_5_kconfigXTize Double-huh? Why would kde-4.5.4 create a kickerrc containing kde3 entries? Let me know if you think this is an Arch packaging issue or a kde.org issue so I know where to file the bug. Thanks. -- David C.

I filed a bug with kde.org. See: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262444 If you guys find out this is an Arch packaging issue, let me know and I'll pass that along and close the bug there. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hello David, I updated yesterday to latest and greatest 4.5.5-1 and everything is working fine here =) Best wishes for this new year!

Thanks Martin, It is looking like an Arch packaging issue or a config issue for my i686 boxes (I don't have a clue what though). I installed 4.5.5-1 last night on 6 Arch boxes and I get the same behavior on one i686 box, another i686 box freezes at the end of ksplash (both Dell boxes), but all x86_64 boxes load fine no extra kicker. Anybody know where I would look for the hook or default config that may be loading the kdemod3 kicker and background? As with other boxes, I deleted ~/.kde4 before launching 4.5.5-1. Thanks again. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. Rankin Law Firm, PLLC 510 Ochiltree Street Nacogdoches, Texas 75961 Telephone: (936) 715-9333 Facsimile: (936) 715-9339 www.rankinlawfirm.com
