Hi,
I recently made an upgrade from Hardy to Jaunty on my laptop (Intel-X86
packages). Since KDE4 doesn't provide the full functionality of KDE3 I
installed kubuntu-desktop-kde3 following the instructions given on
https://wiki.kubuntu.org/Kubuntu/Kde3/Jaunty to get a system with two
parallel desktops. After kicking out some leftover Hardy-packages I
eventually managed to get a working KDE-3.5.10.
But KDE3 started with an empty KDE panel. I first had to add applets
like "Clock", "K Menu", "Show Desktop",
"Taskbar", "Trash" etc. again to
get
what I used to have before the upgrade. The only thing still missing are
the
icons of programs like "kalarm", "kpowersave", "kmix",
"kgpg" etc. All of
these programs are running on my system either in the KDE3 or KDE4
version.
But none of them seem to register with kicker under KDE3 whereas the icons
appear in the panel of KDE4.
How can I fix this problem?
Thanks
Knut
Hi Knut,
It sounds like either your installation was incomplete, or you have a
corrupt ~/.kde3 directory. Try moving your ~/.kde3 directory to something
like ~/.kde3.bkp (from the command line, i.e. when you are not logged in
to KDE3.5) and try logging in again. If that doesn't work, your
installation is incomplete or has been corrupted somehow.
