Darin,





Thank you for fwd'ing my message to the blastwave list, I certainly


appreciate it.  I was torn between posting it here or on the blastwave


list to begin with, but since the pkg-get upgrade only broke KDE, I


thought it was KDE-specific.  





I've subscribed to the blastwave list, and I'll be watching it for any


updates.  If their answers point to something KDE-relevant, I'll post


back here.





Thanks again,








Evan

Hello,





 





I hate to be a 'Chicken Little', but I ran pkg-get upgrade on my Solaris





10 SunBlade 100 and now I can't log into KDE.  I had been running KDE





3.4.2 (REV=2005.9.18) with no problems for a while now and during the





upgrade, I noticed that only kde_base was getting upgraded to 3.4.3





(REV=2006.01.08), while the rest of KDE was not.  I didn't think





anything of it at the time, but after rebooting, I can't log in to KDE.





The OpenWindows desktop starts to load, I see the KDM loading screen,





then a KDE error message pops up showing the 'bomb and gear' icon, but





there is no text in the error message, and then everything just freezes.





I have to power off the box and choose a different desktop session to





actually log in.





 





Is there a way to roll back the kde_base package to the previous





version?  If not, does anyone have an idea as to how I can begin





diagnosing this problem, seeing as I can't even log in to KDE?





 





Many thanks in advance,





 





 





 





Evan D. Bradley
