[gentoo-user] KDE 3.5 and desktop links not working

[gentoo-user] KDE 3.5 and desktop links not working

[Dale]

Hi,

I have KDE 4 installed as well and I think this is causing the problem
but hope there is a fix for this little boo boo.  I have links to
locations on my desktop so that I can click on them to get to places
directly.  I have one for camera pics, another for movies and a few
others.  I upgraded KDE 4 the other day and logged into it for a little
while.  I'm now back in KDE 3.5 and my desktop links no longer work. 
When I click on them, it tries to open them with Dolphin and even asks
for a password.  The permissions are correct.  Owner is dale and group
is users.  I should also add that if I type in the password, user or
root, it does nothing at all.  It just sits there. 

I thought I could just delete the old links and recreate them and get
that to work.  It didn't.  It does the same thing.  It tries to open
them with Dolphin and asks for the password.  Oh, did I mention I
deleted my Documents folder by mistake?  I thought it was a link but it
wasn't.  Backups are so sweet.  ;-)

Anybody know how to fix this?  I checked the file associations options
but it looks weird.  No clue what was there before KDE 4 came along. 
Could someone tell me what is in theirs if your still works?  Maybe that
would fix it.

Thanks.

Sometimes my settings in KDE3 are screwed after a KDE4 session. I assume that 
happens when I open a KDE3 app in KDE4. Then then environment isn't properly 
configured somewhere. It then helps to run kbuildsycoca, log out and log in 
again.

I'll give that a try then.  I hope it works for sure.  It's getting
annoying to have to type in the location to open or find anything.  :/

Thanks.

Well, that started something.  I'll post the output here.

I have seen that ran before during a emerge and I have not seen WARNINGs
like that before.  Should I re-emerge some KDE 3.5 stuff and see if that
fixes it? 

Also, Seamonkey looks a LOT different after running that.  It's not a
big deal, sort of looks better actually.  LOL

Ideas?

Maybe.  I dunno.  I don't think the people in the bug know what to do
either.  May try to re-emerge KDE 3.5 and see what happens.

Open to other ideas tho.

The reason you don't see those WARNINGs during emerge is because the
output is redirected to /dev/null.

My idea is to take the plunge and unmerge everything related to KDE3. :)

So like Ubunto, Gentoo supresses the errors.  Hmmmm.  It's true tho, I
just emerged kdelibs:3.5 and it gave no error when it ran that.  Just
quiet as a mouse. 

Got to log out and see what blows up.  Will likely reply to the other
message tho.  I hate replying to myself.  o_O

Well, that went well enough.  Now my little KDE menu thingy is empty. 
You know, the little thing in the bottom left corner.  Anyway, KDE
appears to be screwed.  Looks like a KDE 3 reinstall is on the way. 
Great way to spend the next day or so.  Just hope it works. O_O

Almost NOTHING works.  :-(

Did you try kbuildsycoca4 in addition to kbuildsycoca?

I had an empty K-menu recently (on an all-KDE4 system)... recompiling
kdelibs fixed it in that case. I think kbuildsycoca fixes it in most
general cases though.

I didn't think to use the 4 version.  I did re-emerge kdesktop and that
fixed the K menu thingy.  I built a @set that will rebuild everything
KDE 3.5 and I'm about to start that.  If that fails, I'll unmerge KDE
3.5 and reinstall fresh, after removing the kde directory of course. 

I may log into KDE 4 and just see what happens after sending this
message.  Maybe that will help somehow.
