Mageia forum

Some how I have lost dolphin and the ability to right click on the start menu, and edit apps. I reinstalled dolphin with "urpmi dolphin", it doesn't quite look the same as the dolphin that came with mageia, but it is working fine. Is there a package that needs to be installed to use the "edit applications" function after right clicking on the start menu?

I uninstalled all of these programs at some point yesterday because I didn't think I needed them, I don't think any of them are related though:

Code: Select all

urpme gudev-sharp-devel-0.1-2.mga1.noarch
urpme glib-sharp2-2.12.10-1.mga1.i586                                                     
urpme mono-2.10.1-1.mga1.i586                                                           
urpme libmono0-2.10.1-1.mga1.i586                                                         
urpme gudev-sharp-0.1-2.mga1.noarch                                                     
urpme libgdiplus0-2.8.1-2.mga1.i586                                                       
urpme libmono2.0_1-2.10.1-1.mga1.i586

Also, I installed a lot of GTK stuff yesterday because I compiled a GTK program that was not available in the repos. I am thinking it could be related, would KDE stuff go away because I installed GTK stuff?

I installed kdebase4, and all of my stuff came back, I realized a lot of KDE stuff was missing including konqueror. Not sure how this happened, but all is well now.

Thanks in advance!!!

Nope, definitely not, you can use them happily at the same time. Probably you didn't look closely at the list of packages to remove (why you removed them in the first places would be interesting, as they do no harm except maybe using a little bit of disk space) and so kdebase and it's dependencies were among the packages-to-be-removed.

I removed some packages because I installed them thinking that they were dependencies for the package I was compiling, then when I found out that they weren't, I got rid of them, just to save a few megs of disk space.
