JPEGs no longer recognized in KDE (Kubuntu)
|

| Hey 
This weird thing just happened. JPEG files are no longer "recognized" by my
system. By that I mean that the thumbnails are now just a default icon, and
none of my KDE applications (Gwenview, Kcolourpaint, etc.) seem to want to
open them. Gwenview doesn't even list them in the open file dialog. Web
surfing still includes JPEGs, though. The problem doesn't apply to GIFs,
PNGs etc, just the JPEGs. The Gimp doesn't complain and opens the files
just fine. So I'm thinking this is a QT/KDE issue, since The Gimp is a GTK
app, right? I checked in Adept to see if there was some jpeg lib missing,
but it doesn't seem so...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel

| Okay, looking a bit more on the net, I'm starting to fear that's it's some
incompatibility with a KDE update to 3.5.2... I did that some days ago, and
can't say for sure that JPEGs worked afterwards. Don't really remember when
I did the update... I'm reading that you might have to compile KDE with a
hardcoded link for the jpeg libs, is that correct? Perhaps this version
points to an incorrect place? Anybody know how I can check that?

| Some more info... I installed kview and ran it from the console, this is
what happened:
daniel@tuxtop:~$ kview
kio (KMimeType): WARNING: KServiceType::offers : servicetype
KImageViewer/Canvas not found
KCrash: Application 'kview' crashing...
Can't find a kimageviewer package... And there's no particular canvas lib
for QT, although I have libgnomecanvas2-0 installed...

Ok but it would seem that since it works fine in dapper then it isn't
something inherently wrong with kde 3.5.2 itself, maybe you are missing a
library or one didn't install properly on your system.

That's what I'm thinking, but I can't figure out which one and how...

Well a long winded way would be to go to the directory you installed
kde352 from ie the website and then make sure that any graphic related
library is installed by using dpkg -l |grep packagename or by just using
apt-get install package and it will tell you.
