Comments? Well, I don't know exactly how users update yours system(*), but maybe a "init q" after the pacman -Syu and merge inittab and securetty files in
this case is suggested, and/or udevadm trigger to reload rules, or go to "init s" and back to previous level, or find what dev/files are deleted with "lsof -n | egrep 'DEL|dele'" and reload the aproppiate programs, remembers that not only virtual consoles are in transition, also other devices. (*) Some users can do a "hot-update" the whole KDE/GNOME while running and intend to continue working properly. ;) Thats all folks! -- Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi ( djgera ) http://www.djgera.com.ar KeyID: 0x1B8C330D Key fingerprint = 0CAA D5D4 CD85 4434 A219 76ED 39AB 221B 1B8C 330D

I don't expect it to work as such but being too lazy to leave current working env. just for upgrade, I have done pacman -Syu from within konsole, that have upgraded KDE and it has worked. Usually that follows the an immediate reboot due to kernel/glibc upgrade so its a not pressing all the aspects of KDE probably.. Exceeding expectations I think :) -- Shridhar
