Wiil try to upgrade my 2013.0 install..Now lemme see where are those repos...
Ah yes found it :
http://wiki.openmandriva.org/en/2014.0/ ... _to_2014.0Doing the stuff now...I have installed quite a lot (including a LAMP server) . Since I run
Openbox I did not get an update popup (Maybe it is due to Openbox
) so I have to do it manually - naturally without a backup since that only is for chicken
I'll let you know....
..Well the update went through but I have lost my GUI. No kdm: I will have to dive into this one..
When trying to start kdm manually I get
Code: Select all
cannot open the file /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/mandriva-kde4
mandriva-kde4 was not there so I created it...
And that did not help . it still says it cannot find it - probably because the directory is empty
It looks like I did not get the artwork.
Berserks dont give up so I copied the content of /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/OpenMandriva to mandriva-kde4:
Code: Select all
cp /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/OpenMandriva/* /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/mandriva-kde4
And Oh wonder; now it boots like it should - starts kdm, and logs me in to my Openbox. My Openbox wallpaper is gone though so I will have to set a new path for it in nitrogen...
Et Voila:
Not too bad this update - but that mandriva-kde4 directory problem is probably a bug
But it could also be that I do not have a full kde install since I use Openbox - I still think that the themes for kdm should be created properly though -since kdm can be used with other DE's.
Here are my data:
Bug reported
hereSolution:
Openbox users must make sure that
distro-kde4-config-Openmandriva is installed since this regroups OpenMandriva specific KDE-config files.
In any case I decided to install lxdm and drop kdm which probably is the sensible thing to do if you use Openbox anyway.
