<vanRijn> also, do not upgrade all of your KDE packages without logging out/in again
<pusling> vanRijn: you could just have run kbuildsycoca manually 😉
* pusling only recieved about 10 bugs in kde abouth the upgrade to 3.5.7 broke their installation
<vanRijn> pusling: meh. Real Men Zap X (TM). =;P
<pusling> 😉
<vanRijn> heh
<vanRijn> I just went through re-install hell the last 2 days
<vanRijn> got 4 hours of sleep 2 nights ago
<vanRijn> went from opensuse 10.2….
<vanRijn> installed fedora 7…
<vanRijn> apparently my cryptoloop-encrypted home partition is completely unusable with kernel 2.6.21. i blame the new pata drivers.
<vanRijn> so downloaded opensuse 10.3-alpha4 (all 6 cd’s, ’cause they don’t have a dvd iso, grr)
<vanRijn> installed it (went surprisingly smoothly for an alpha)
<vanRijn> and found out that it also is unable to use my cryptoloop-encrypted home partition (kernel 2.6.21 also)
<vanRijn> did a rescue boot off of a suse 10.1 dvd
<vanRijn> copied all 30 gigs of my home partition off to an external usb drive (like scraping your gums, it’s so slow)
<vanRijn> reformatted home with straight XFS, copied it back (went much faster, not being encrypted)
<vanRijn> re-installed fedora 7, thinking that things would be better this time
<vanRijn> discovered that fedora 7 is a big, stinking piece of poopie which does not play nicely with my hardware (thinkpad T42–hangs it intermittently and refuses to shut down cleanly)
<vanRijn> re-re-installed opensuse 10.3-alpha4
<vanRijn> and am now back to where I was before all this started, with a new alpha4 release which runs as smoothly as anything I’ve ever run before
<vanRijn> also, 10.3-alpha4 (well, Factory, actually) has KDE 3.5.7
<vanRijn> which is what I updated to immediately before I blathered about the mime-type issues
<vanRijn> and that’s where you came in all “kbuildsycoca”-ey…
<vanRijn> =;PPP
<vanRijn> Oooh, I need to blog that
