Yakuake problems [Solved]

[barret]

I get this message when I start Yakuake. "Yakuake was unable to load the Konsole component.
A Konsole installation is required to use Yakuake." But Konsole is installed and working.

Did you install yakuake from equo/sulfur or from emerge?

Which version of yakuake and which version of konsole?

It could be that you have the wrong version of Yakuake installed: there is one version that is for KDE 3 and another for KDE 4:

Code: Select all

$ eix yakuake

If you're using KDE 4 then install the slotted version for KDE 4 (kde-misc/yakuake-2.9.5 in Entropy for Branch 4, kde-misc/yakuake-2.9.6 in Entropy for Branch 5, or kde-misc/yakuake-2.9.6 in Portage).

That was it but I messed up other things and will do a clean installation. Thank you for your help.
