I am trying to upgrade from 2.2.8 to 3.1.5, however I can't find how you uninstall the old installation. 2.2.8 was installed with "make install".

I have managed to install 3.1.5 but have an issue where no plugins showed up and some previous posts suggests this could be related to not removing the old version.

I am now running Ubuntu 8.04 with KDE4.

Thanks.

Run kbuildsycoca4 before you start up ktorrent that should find the plugins if they are installed where the rest of KDE4 is installed (/usr/lib/kde4 normally on kubuntu 8.04).

Uninstalling the old version is not really necessary, but you should be able to do it with make uninstall

Thanks for the suggestions I tried running that and receive the following...

Any Ideas?

Install in /usr/lib/kde4, that is the easiest solution. Alternatively you can add the prefix you are currently using to the KDEDIRS environment variable.

Thank You for your help

I ammended my .profile to include
PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/kde4/bin

I managed to get the plugins to show up by using.

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix) .
make
sudo make install

Now the only issue I have is that I cannot sort on specific columns by clicking on the heading.

This has been reported before, we are not quite sure what is causing it, but it is very rare, and probably a Qt bug.

I've done some investigation and it seems I only experience this bug when I am connected via VNC. I will look at updating my vncserver and see if the problem with column sorting is still present.

I haven't managed to fix the column sorting yet.

But I am receving a lot of message in the terminal window that started KTorrent saying

findServiceByDesktopPath: kded/networkstatus.desktop not found

Also I can't get the upnp plugin to appear on the left hand side once selected.
I have tested ktupnptest and that seems to work ok.

Any ideas?

UPnP has been moved from the config dialog to the bottom tabbar in the window

Thanks for your help George.

OK so I wasn't being stupid. UPnP does not appear on the tabs at the bottom or the side. I checked a couple of log files and couldn't see anything related to UPnP.

Is there somewhere else I can check?

Is the plugin loaded ?

When you say loaded, it is selected in Plugins. But nothing shows up anywhere.

Strange, try to run kbuildsyscoca4 and then restart ktorrent

Typo, it is kbuildsycoca4

I ran kbuildsycoca4 and the UPnP plugin still does show when I select it.
I tested the other plugins I can see those appearing on the tab bar below.

I also updated the subject to reflect the content of this post.

Any other ideas?
