Re: Problem with upgrading to KDE 3.1.1 on Debian woody

["R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar" <chandra@central.murdoch.edu.au>]

Dear Ralf,

Thank you for your reply.

I have done what you said and successfully installed KDE 3.1.1 with 
apt-get install.

I must feedback to you that

	apt-get install kdebindings

does not work because kdebindings is not recognized as a package.  This 
is just for your information.

The bad thing is that after successful installation of KDE 3.1.1 (no 
error messages at all) kdm does not work.  The Debian splash screen 
flashes for a few seconds without the login panel: this happens three 
times in succession.  Then the screen defaults to text and I can login 
to a text only terminal.

When I run startx, I get the KDE 3.1 splash screen and about four 
flashes of the KDE Crash screen (it flashes so fast that I cannot see 
what it says).  Then, I lose the kpanel and control of the screen.  I 
have to kill the X server and revert to a text only screen.

Indeed, I spent about four hours to remove and re-install from scratch 
KDE 3.1.1 twice, to no avail.  Finally, I had to install gnome and am 
writing this e-mail using gnome as my desktop and window manager.

Any help or referral to resuscitate KDE 3.1.1 is most appreciated.
