<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Greetings, pardon a
newbie here but I'm having a problem with something that previously worked for
me without any problems at all!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>We have a couple of
boxes here one of which had solairs 10 - its a sun blade 2000 box and I
originally had a plain vanilla solaris 10 install on it and then installed
pkg-get and downloaded without problem kde_gcc package....it worked
great. The box suffered a hard drive problem which necessitated
replacing the drive and re-installing the OS. This time I think I
made the following mistakes:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>1: Installed
companion CD - this actually put KDE 3.1 under the /opt/sfw
directory</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>2: Chose a language
specification of en_US.ISO8859-1 ??? (not sure if it should have been UTF
or something else)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>2: Installed
PKG-GET and KDE_GCC BEFORE I remembered the solaris patch
cluster</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>3: then installed
Patch cluster.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>KDE starts but no
icons and the animated startup progress screen looks like a bunch of colored
blocks - basically there are no graphical resources - originally I had graphics
but just no title bars for minimizing / maximizing windows but now I've lost
even the basic desktop icons and the kicker icons.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=727151917-02112005><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I've since tried
De-installing with pkgrm every package with CSW as the prefix, deleted the
/opt/csw structure and reinstalled everything. I can get a kde
desktop but no graphics. I figure I must have messed up a shared
resource that CSW links to? Could it be a temp cache thing
somewhere? For what its worth CDE and the JDS desktops load
and run great. Also this problem occurs both directly on the box or
with a remote window manager tunneled over ssh.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
