Mandriva 2009.1 Gnome

Hi Robby,

I installed this for someone, from the Mandriva One Gnome iso.  Then got Tellico from the repositories.  It loads fine.  The data file is from an earlier Debian version.  Everything seems to work ok, but it crashes with error 11 if you try to open an entry for editing.  Any ideas?

I installed all of KDE just in case.  Made no difference.

Peter

FTR, the version of tellico shipped by mandriva in 2009.1 seems to be a
dev version (tellico-1.9-0.936109) based on KDE4.

cheers

Neither does it seems to work on KDE4.:-(
I've tried to use it for some time, without success. I had to compile last
stable release instead.
So I don't think a lot of people on 2009.1 use Tellico.

I can't make any promises about that...it's way too early to be including
pre-release versions...I won't even try to reproduce it unless someone can
with current svn.

OK, should I then uninstall the one from the 2009.1 repositories and then install the 32 bit rpm from for instance rpmfind?  Or would it be better to install from source?

And will the earlier version run under KDE4 OK, or do I have to make changes to that also?

It sort of bears out my impression that if you once get a working copy of Mandriva, burn incense, give thanks, and do not under any circumstances upgrade!  But the temptation is, its so easy for non-technical end users....

don't install from rpmfind if it's not a mandriva version.

i just requested that mandriva version be upgraded, it should be done
today. i don't know if it will be backported to 2009.1, but even if it's
not backported, you can fetch the new rpm from cooker (mandriva
development version)

And if you want to stay on the safe side, you can install the rpm from
2009.0 :
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2009.0/i586/media/contrib/release/tellico-1.3.4-2mdv2009.0.i586.rpm

You will need two other packages from 2009.0 that aren't in 2009.1
anymore :
ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2009.0/i586/media/main/release/libkdemultimedia1-common-3.5.10-1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm

ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/MandrivaLinux/official/2009.0/i586/media/main/release/kdemultimedia-kscd-3.5.10-1mdv2009.0.i586.rpm

(install them first)

OK, installed 3.5.3 from the 2009.0, as suggested.  It puts a heap of dependencies in, and it locates the packages in /opt, which was a bit of a surprise.  It does not put an entry in the gnome menus.  I put a launcher in the task bar, but didn't manage to have it find the tellico icon.  Not the end of the world.  There is a peculiarity in this edition which I'd noticed before, the open file doesn't work properly - it doesn't see any files.  Again, not the end of the world, since you can do open with, navigate to /opt and find tellico, and then tellico will automatically revert to the last opened file.

I thought Mandriva 2008 spring was nice and relatively foolproof, but two things seem clear from this.  One is that KDE4 is a step too far.  The other is that Mandriva has not changed its spots.  Stick with Debian.
