 Posted: Sun May 28, 2006 2:23 pm Post subject: kopete from kde-base or net-im not working... [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi all,
Just wanted some advice. I get the following error after starting kopete from the command line and can't figure out what to do:
| Code: |
$ kopete
kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 79, expecting version 93 or higher.
kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Outdated database found
kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype KResources/Plugin not found
kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype Kopete/Plugin not found
$ kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Found version 79, expecting version 93 or higher.
kio (KSycoca): WARNING: Outdated database found
libkopete: WARNING: [void Kopete::PluginManager::slotShutdownTimeout()] Some plugins didn't shutdown in time!
libkopete: Remaining plugins:
libkopete: Forcing Kopete shutdown now.
|
I get the same error with kde-base/kopete and net-im/kopete... not that I can figure out the difference between the two...
When it starts it, it asks me to select a messaging service but none show up. When I go to the configuration thumb nail, I get a blank page saying empty page.
Any pointers to documentation or a thread I might have missed are welcome... the sollution too BTW 
thoughts?

Solution:
Seems all I had to do was remove a tmp file and restart it 
| Code: | | rm /var/tmp/kdecache-user/ksycoca /tmp/kde-user/ksycoca |
Thx google

Thanks, this solution fixed kate, konqueror, kopete for me.
However, I find that I have to remove these temporary files everytime I boot up for the programs to work. Anybody else finding this or can suggest a more permanent solution?

I don't have the problem anymore with the following version:
| Code: | $ equery list kopete
[ Searching for package 'kopete' in all categories among: ]
* installed packages
[I--] [ ] net-im/kopete-0.12.0 (0)
|
It only happens right after installation or when KDE fails to shutdown properly. This version of kopete just came out so maybe it will fix your problem.

Thanks, that version of kopete may help. However, I also get errors in kate and konqueror until those files are deleted. They complain about missing mime types and malformed urls, and give the same ksycoca error in the console. Im using these apps on fluxbox, don't know if that makes a difference. I guess I could put a couple of lines in my local.start to delete those temporary files when I log in.

thanx, this solution has also helped me to fix the annoying mime-type problem in kde.

I've been getting that (same error, different numbers) and I think it was happening because I was running some applications linked against KDE 3.5 libraries under KDE 3.4. Some KDEapplicaton was creating the KSycoca database(s) with one version number, and other applications were then trying to use a new format version to read/write the same file -- and complaining that they found an earlier version.

That's consistent with the behaviour I saw, yes. If delete those files whenever there is an inconsistency you can fudge t hings to work ... it won't help if you try to run two apps at the same time that expect different formats.

The permanent solution is to make sure that all your KDE components are linked against the same libries, so they use the same version of KSycoca file format. In my case it was simply a matter of switching to KDE 3.5 (which was already installed, but I was still using 3.4) and running revdep-rebuild until everything was consistent. This also fixed some problems with applications claiming not to recognize MIME types. |
