(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***) Package: kcmthemes Version: KDE 2.1.0 Severity: normal Installed from: Red Hat Linux 6.9.2 Compiler: gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-75) OS: Linux 2.2.17-8smp i686 OS/Compiler notes: Used theme manager to import a theme downloaded from KDE themes and I got this message. However when I tried to open the Default and other existing themes I got the same message. I have deleted the new theme and rebooted but I am still unable to change themes. I am using RH7.0 KDE 2.1 and Linux 2.4.2 Thank you (Submitted via bugs.kde.org) (Called from KBugReport dialog)
I have just seen this bug for the first time. It has happened with KDE-3.0.5a but worked ok with KDE-3.0.5. In my case everything has been compiled from sources with gcc-3.2.
Hey I got this prob too, from the RedHat 7.3 built KDE 3.0.5a version. Themes worked with 3.0.3, upped to 3.0.5a... no more themes...
I have the same problem. I am using Gentoo and KDE3.0.5a with mine it also copies the theme folder to my home directory. example: I click on Eclicpse in the theme manager. I get this error "Theme does not contain a .themerc file " In the preview pane it says "cannot display theme" and a folder named Eclipse apears in my home directory. This folder contains the Eclipse theme files.
I am getting the same error and results as comment #3. I am using LFS 4.0, kernel 2.4.19, gcc 3.2 and qt 3.0.6. KDE 3.0.5a was compiled from source.
I'm having the same problem as comment #3. Running RedHat 7.3 and KDE 3.0.4. Decided to upgrade to KDE 3.0.5a and when I did I quickly noticed the problem mentioned above. I upgraded using official RedHat packages, and when I switched back to 3.0.4, the problem went away. I'm running the default Kernel and the default gcc packages. Also using qt-3.0.5-7.14, official from RedHat.
I'm also having the same problem as comment #3. I am running Red Hat 8.0 and was using the - probably updated since I'm using up2date - KDE version that comes with that distribution before upgrading to 3.0.5a. I used the rpms linked to on the KDE 3.0.5a announcement (semi-official, I'd say).
It is fixed in kde 3.1rc6
Fixed in KDE 3.1
I am running RedHat 8.0 and updated using Ximian RedCarpet to the KDE version 3.0.5a and since then I am getting the same problem. Is there some way to fix this problem for this version or is it a must to upgrade to the latest version? Because KDE-3.0.5a is the latest verssion updated for RedHat 8.0 . Please help me if there is some patch or workaround fo this problem with KDE-3.0.5a .
