Hi.

The Gentoo KDE team has just unmasked 3.5.7. Please help us iron out any remaining issues.

[mod]Unstuck this thread as discussion should now move on to the KDE--3.5.8 thread.[/mod]

does it take a while for packages.gentoo.org to get updated cause it's still showing 3.5.7 hardmasked.

Despite all the whining in that previous thread, I suspect that this KDE release and associated Gentoo ebuilds will be SOLID GOLD, just like in the past. I'm often right about this kind of thing. :wink:

Let's see... a full KDE build on an Athlon 2500+... yeah, I'll let you know by tomorrow night, heheh.

Menu Editor (kmenuedit) does not start when right-clicking the menu button. It does start when you right click an item in the menu to edit and it also starts in the run dialog, but while no error comes up when you click save, no changes are saved.

mkk,
I've had that problem in the past and it had been because even though I had installed a new KDE version, I did not restart the X Server, so I was still technically running in the older version and the new version had not been loaded yet... if that makes any sense haha

Of course you could have already done all of that and this post is useless :wink:

hello, im new to gentoo.
I emerged kde 3.5.7 (not the whole, just kdebase-startkde and some others).
Now I have a problem: every time I logout (both as user and root) the screen blanks and I cant get back to kdm.
I can't switch to other console (ctrl+alt+F1, etc), ctrl+alt+backspace doesnt work either. Im stuck.
Ctrl+alt+del works, so I at least I dont have to reset.. but still, this is annoying.
Any idea? Did I miss anything?
Thanks

Menu editor does't work for me also. I can't start it from kicker or kcontrol. But it works from konsole.

Klaptop also doesn't work.

Kmilo doesn't work, but kmilo-3.5.6 works.

Strangely enough Kmenuedit works fine for me!
Klaptop does not..
Any hint on my problem?

Are you sure that your previous config files are not interfering with their operation? If you had a previous KDE installed, that can happen. Try running them from Konsole to see if they complain.

vlad.Sharp are you talking to me?
I dont care about klaptop..
It's just that when I logout, the screen blanks and I cant get back to KDM.
I have to reboot.

I removed .kde3.5 completly. Now, the shortcuts do not work. I set Win+S for Konsole. It works, but after a logout it doesn't work.
In addition, when I set Cycle through windows in Win+TAB I have to press enter to actually change the window.

F*CK. They have had these shortcuts problem for several versions now (see some cycle through windows bugs in gentoo and kde) and it still doesn't work without problems. Isn't that crazy? I feel like I am able to reach the moon but I am stuck in my city train... Please, I want a completely working version, and shortcuts are very important...

Sorry, I'm a bit angry. Unfortunately, I cannot do more than writing bug reports...

I'm trying to upgrade to kde 3.7

So far I ve only had 2 problems. I had kdesktop blocking kdebase-kioslaves (the strange thing was I had 3.5.5, I wanted to emerge 3.5.7 and it complained that 3.5.6-r1 was blcking kdebase-kioslaves). So tried the easy way : unmerging kdesktop. Seems to work

no more blocking and emerge --pretend says that kdesktop 3.5.7 will be compiled.

I ve just encountered a bug. I ve put the ~x86 keywords to every package that is needed to upgrade kdebase-meta and then I ve run a emerge -uDpv world. After some merging, it has failed on ksysguard saying it could nt locate some ssd library. So I ve ran emerge -pv kdelibs to check USE flags, and I found the problem : kdnssd-avahi has not been compiled before ksysguard. I guess the ebuild miss this dependency. So if you encounter that problem juste emerge --oneshot the kdnssd-avahi package and get back to ksysguard

Just my 2 cents

PS : thanks to the whole gentoo kde support team for all the ebuilds
