Hello forrestw517,

I know this repository, but there is no src.rpm so it's impossible to know the quality of their work (maybe good) and for each type of support you need to write in german

This is the link to the german company that makes these packages:

Apart important NOT existant sources, as said above by Dago68

I note it lacks of a structure to support /updates with fixes coming from kde.org
so all the packages come as unsupported, without users feedback and fixes...

I remember that KDE 4.5.5 in MIB repo, it was supported by mikala and all MIB Team:
this KDE has been full supported with all KDE.ORG upstream fixes, several updates, requests and extras

• it contains all first released RPMs packages into
  • /release
• all KDE.ORG upstream fixes, and several updates into
  • /updates
• other requested KDE programs, have been placed in
  • /others
• other extra rpms have been ported by MIB into
  • /extra

I can understand what you said there are some issues with 4.6.1 from that site. I stumbled on it looking for mandriva packages and possibly .src.rpms as well. I might do a full uninstall of kde 4.6.1 and move back to stable 4.5.5

[forrestw517]

will this command remove kde 4.6.1
rpm -e --nodeps `rpm -qa | grep -i kde | grep 4.6` this way I can revert back to the stable 4.5.5 mib

[forrestw517]

would it be possible to backport kde 4.6.1 from the cooker repos?

[astragalo]

Hi, it's so hard but not impossible! Use the command:

rpm -qa --last > list.txt

For have a list of the last package installed. Remove all packaghe of update.

Before install gnome or other DE for reinstall KDE of GUI

Good luck.

Bye

[forrestw517]

is there a command to undo the 4.6.1 update? I did the last command to show what was installed.

[forrestw517]

if anyone is willing to give me some guidance I have alot of free time I can try and build atleast the src.rpm's to help.

i'm not going to install kde 4.6.1 because it's still too young and too unstable to desktop use kde 4.5.5 it's rock solid and stable release and it's full working desktop enviroment and it will have full mib support if there is some problems

[forrestw517]

did command
urpme -a qt mandriva-kde4-config-common
to remove all of kde and its dependents.

[forrestw517]

ok was able to roll back to 4.5.5 and all is working great. good idea to put that warning in red.

When I read your msg I soon feared to the possible consequences,
I wanted just avoid to many users all that happened to you...
