    Removing KDE4 screwed up KDE3 AND ndiswrapper

    Had been looking at the KDE4 update, and installed what I thought was the version of kmail that went with it.

    Installing the kmail version for KDE4 (3.97 I think it was), messed up kmail for KDE3 (it seg faulted without any error messages) and the new kmail didn't work either (givening some "unknown symbols" error that I couldn't fix).

    So I removed the NEWER version of kmail, and which messed up things worse somehow, so I figured I'd just get rid of KDE4 entirely. This messed up KDE3 pretty badly (konqueror and a bunch of other important elements went too, for reasons I don't get). The bigger problem, though, is that since then, ndiswrapper hasn't worked for me.

    Fixing the KDE3 install was straightforward enough, once, I'd dragged the computer to a wired connection. Nothing I do has got ndiswrapper working again though. The card isn't even listed in the results of "lspci -v" or "lspci -n".

    I'm trying a live CD of gutsy to see if it will show up there, but is there likely to be anything I can do to fix this?

    Any help would be great, thanks.

    Hi Marek

    I had similar situation and be able to fix it, although I am not sure about your ndiswrapper though.

    What I did was reinstall kubuntu-desktop from synaptic and everything works again.
    After reinstall, restart, then choose kde3 session before loggin in.
