Thanks doktor5000, you're always a champion.. I did "rpm -qa | grep mga4" during the time I was reverting back to mga3 stuff... I totally neglected to look at my "kdm.log" file in which I found the same version compatibility errors as before (thought I had fixed it already):
- Code: Select all
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40805) with this library (version 0x40804)
KCrash: Application 'kdmgreet' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/lib64/kde4/libexec/drkonqi directly
Cannot mix incompatible Qt library (version 0x40805) with this library (version 0x40804)
Server terminated successfully (0). Closing log file.
I was using 4.8.5 for dbus and qt since I have been doing my software updates, and updating a couple of things from 4.8.4 to 4.8.5 fixed the obvious errors before.. So I did the command "rpm -qa | grep 4\.8\.4" and found a few loose ends:
- Code: Select all
qt4-qtdbus-4.8.4-7.mga3
lib64qtdbus4-4.8.4-7.mga3
lib64qtcore4-4.8.4-7.mga3
qt4-common-4.8.4-7.mga3
Turns out all of the packages I reverted from mga4 to mga3 were from the "release" folder instead of the "update" folder where I should have been getting them. I downloaded the 4.8.5's from the "updates" folder from a LiveUSB and then removed the 4.8.4's (rpm -e --nodeps [qt and dbus 4.8.4 stuff]) and now I have my desktop back!

back but nothing works still..
So I opened a Konsole and did the command "drakrpm-edit-media" and unchecked the Cauldron sources.. Then I ran "drakrpm-update" and hopefully i'll have my system back to normal after I "reboot for glibc and kernel-desktop"... wish me luck.
