Problem install kmail

[jsteen (Jan)]

Hello,

• _OpenMandriva Lx version: Rome

• Desktop environment KDE Plasma

Well I did it and installed the OS on my computer.
There were a few hick-ups, that I could fix easily
I do have a problem with Kmail.
It won’ t start.
I removed it, and then tried to reinstall it.
But it won’t install ( allot of conflicts)
Does someone have a idea what is going wrong?

Looks like you are trying to install a Plasma5 package on a Plasma6 system. Use dnf search to find the correct package to install.

Well I am used to use a terminal to install software.
Apparently If you try to install kmail thru a terminal, then my problem happens.
I installed now dnfdragora, and now I see there are 2 versions of kmail.
(Also shown by dnf search)
Just using this OS for a day and I am learning.
Thanks for your help and time

I do have a problem with Kmail.
It won’ t start.
I removed it, and then tried to reinstall it.

For your and everyone’s general information: that’s not the proper way to debug.

Start the app from terminal and copy/paste the console output (all the output, including your command until the end).

Post it here if it’s short (please use the tag code), or use a pastebin service and provide the link if it’s longer than say 20/25 lines.

$ dnf search kmail
Plasma6 is the default in ROME( and Cooker) so if you see any plasma6-* reference then install that one.
plasma6-kmail

Note: The plasma6-* prefix is temporary to make both the plasma5 and the plasma6 coexist in the repository. Will go away as soon as we drop Plasma5.

The reason I did a reinstall, is that I have a separate Home-dir
I never format my Home-dir.
If I install a new OS and something won’t start, it is very likely that config files in my Home is the problem.
I will remove those config files and reinstall the app.
It would heaved worked in case off my problem with kmail, if is was not because of the fact that dnf install does not recognize what version you are actually running.
When I knew how t find the right packages, kmail installed perfectly and is running
I have to be careful if I install KDE stuff and always use dnf search
But if one have a problem with a application and don’t know why it won’t start then putting the info from the console is much better then just saying " it doesn’t work"
I will do better next time…

The guest account is your friend.
Install xguest (you can find the module in the Welcome app) and login to the guest account.
It will give you a configs clean environment to test.
