Hi
I recently went through having to uninstall [ rpm -e ] kdelib~ and kdebase and then re-install [ urpmi ] because of a 'kdeinit' problem I had whilst attempting to update these packages having read a Mandrake security alert. ( I'm back in kde-3.2.3 from the distro disc's )
Now I'm not convinced it is entirely KDE, but since then I have time to go make a coffee whenever I attempt to open any apps. Anything at all!
I'm running a PIII 733hz 512RAM system and things ran fine before.
Any ideas where I should start looking?
It could be a problem with network name lookup - try putting an entry for your own computer in /etc/hosts
# vim /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 Snapafun
Once the app/program starts I do not seem to have a problem. It is just getting things started.
I have used mcc to 'stopped' all net stuff and anything else I'm not using at present. Still no joy so I suspect I'm running something I don't know how to find. < ps aux > didn't enlighten me any then maybe I'm not looking at the right thing.
Any further ideas?
I just tried to print from kghostview and kpdf. In both cases I got a little popup message saying that it was "Initializing printer ..... ' Within the print dialogue I see that print.ps is recognized and that things supposedly are pointing by way of localhost:631. However nothing happens and I need to kill things with the <Ctrl-Alt-Esc> combo. This happens only within KDE.
So, still looking for ideas.
