Hi all,

Have been racking my brains and searching the net for the answer to a
couple of KDE 2.0.1 problems and thought I'd ask you guys...

I finally managed to sort out most of my upgrade-related KDE problems -
got rid of 1.1.3 or whatever it was and upgraded to 2.0.1 successfully -
but THEN (a few days back) upgraded to Redhat 7 - after this KDE 2.0.1
wouldn't run - so I uninstalled it and installed it again - NOW it does
run - the
outstanding/weird problems I still have - and can't resolve are:

1. Every time I log into KDE (Gnome login screen) as root I get: "The
application KCMinit (kcminit) crashed and caused the signal 11
(SIGSEGV)" - CANNOT seem to track down the cause of the problem or any
useful information on the web at all... I *don't* get the same problem
logging in as a NON ROOT USER:-( ?

2. Kpackage no longer works properly - it WILL load an rpm and probably
let me install it/etc. - BUT it does *not* bring up the usual
window/tree structure of installed rpms:-( I get the error message:
"failed to open /var/lib/rpm/packages.rpm" - the ONLY information even
remotely relevant on the web points to the fact that this is an issue to
do with permissions/not being logged in as root - but since I usually
log in as root that is not the answer:-( On the other hand, the GNOME
RPM GUI (GNORPM works perfectly and brings up the whole tree of
installed rpms:-(

3. REALLY weird problem - the upgrade to Redhat 7 has a new enhanced
version of 'lpd' - this hangs the system if I allow it to load from boot
- BUT works fine if loaded manually - BUT for some reason it does NOT
allow my fax software (fax2send 2.1) to work properly anymore:-( I know
this last question/problem is a little bit 'out there' - but I thought
I'd ask anyway:-))

4. No matter WHAT I do I can't seem to get the login screen for KDE to
come up automatically - all I seem to be able to get (since the Redhat 7
upgrade) is the GNOME login screen (yes this allows me to get into KDE -
but I'm also wondering if this is somehow (?) related to problem 1 -
which is why I'd like to NOT have GNOME/SAWFISH automatically
loading...:-)

Would really appreciate any help/ideas on these problems - very annoying
and hard to work out.

Thanks in advance,

John.
