Product: Fedora Core Version: fc5 Platform: i586 OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: high Priority: normal Component: Package Review AssignedTo: notting@xxxxxxxxxx ReportedBy: cwgarfield12@xxxxxxxxx QAContact: extras-qa@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx CC: fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx Description of problem: I am using Fedora Core 5 with kde 3.5.2. In GNOME, the graphical package installer would always work fine. You could just double click a package and that would be it. But I installed FC5 with only KDE and when I double click a saved RPM file, an "open with" dialog box comes up. I've attempted to associate rpm file in kde with pup or pirut, the FC5 package install and update utitlities, but with no luck. They will not open the RPM file, saying no rpm file has been given for install. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 5 Final, kde 3.5.2 How reproducible: Very Easily, just try to install a local rpm under KDE. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora Core with just KDE as the only window manager 2. Attempt to install a locally saved rpm file (such as on desktop or in a folder on the hard drive.) 3. You will get the KDE open with dialog box because KDE doesn't know what to do with an RPM file. Expected results: That KDE would open the RPM with "system-install-packages" command automatically just as GNOME would. In KDE, this assocation is not made "out of the box". Additional info: THE SOLUTION The user has to fix this manually by typing "system-install-packages" (without the quotes) into the KDE Open With dialog box and then check the box "Remember application association for this type of file" so that this setting is remembered by KDE in the future, thereby fixing this problem. SUGGESTION FOR FUTURE RELEASES ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also please consider including kpackage as well (from kdeadmin package group) in future releases. I find it to be a much more efficient tool for package management/software maintenance than pirut, pup, YUMEX, or the commandline RPM command. Another thing I had to install myself... -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
