Problem
After upgrading to Mandriva 2009.1 Spring, that uses KDE 4, you can no longer lock the screen as you get the error:

no appropriate greeter plugin...

Solution
There is a package missing from the upgrade so do:

urpmi kdm

Problem
You are trying to install spree from the git source, following the instructions from here, but there are errors like:

gem install activemerchant --version "= 1.4.1"
