Description of problem: We cannot enable desktop sharing using the krfb component of KDE 3.1. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.1-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start kde admin tool 2.Select Internet & Network -> Desktop Sharing Actual results: Dialog pops up saying 'There was an error loading the module' Clicking on Details gives: Library files for "libkcm_krfb.la" no found in paths Confirmed that this lib is not installed on the system. Expected results: Options for switching on desktop sharing. Additional info:
I can confirm the same (bad) behaviour.
I also experienced the same problem.
I thought that this might help... (I am running Red Hat 9 and it is a brand new installation) When I tried to launch desktop sharing from the KDE Control Center I've got the error message: ¨There was an error loading the module¨ There is a ¨details¨ option in the dialog screen that says: Library files for ¨libkcm_krfb.la¨ not found in paths Possible reasons: An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module You have old third party modules lying around Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager. I took a look in /usr/lib/kde3 and noticed that for every .so file there is a .la file. If that association is valid then the following files are missing in that directory: kcm_krfb.la kcm_ktalkd.la libkcm_krfb.la Buk
Do you have an ETA to resolve this? Thank you...
A work around for this bug is to install the kdenetwork-devel package. The required *.la files which are missing from the kdenetwork rpm can be found in the kdenetwork-devel rpm. The *.la files should probably be added to the kdenetwork rpm.
I installed the kdenetwork-devel package and now the desktop sharing works fine. Thanks for the suggestion! Buk.
it's fixed in kdenetwork-3.1.2-3 or newer, which is available in rawhide
