if you install kde using for example the following packages in rpmdrake: Default-kde4-config kdebase4 kdebase4-common the resulting installation does not contain all needed core components of kde, for example the following has to be installed additionaly at a minimum: dolphin plasma-applet-showdesktop also i could not get the "lock button" of kde working, when i klick on lock my whole session freezes and i have to restart X using Ctrl+ALT+Backspace perhaps i just take the wrong (virtual) package for installing kde? if yes, this should be mentioned somehow in rpmdrake regards Mike Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Summary: if KDE is installed after initial installation of Mageia not all deps resolved and screenlock freezes systema => if KDE is installed after initial installation of Mageia not all deps resolved and screenlock freezes system
There are meta-packages called task-* in rpmdrake, change the dropdown menu on the left from "Packages with GUI" to "Meta packages", and you will find them under "Graphical desktop". in your case you want either task-kde or task-kde-minimal If you use urpmi, you can list available metapackages with the command "urpmq -y task-"

ok, this solves it. however i really think it would make sense to add some message asking "do you only want to install that component or a complete or minimal working kde system" regards Mike
