Hi! If you encounter the kde-4.1 bug that all printing jobs are sent to the virtual pdf printer, see this for a solution:

Getting there with 4.1

Can we get a krosspython 4.1 build rather than just an svn build please?

yes indeedy

I copied all the items into the portage/package.* files respectively as the wiki page suggested

ran layman -f -a kdesvn-portage && sudo emerge -v --sync && sudo emerge --regen

sudo layman -l
*kdesvn-portage [Git ](source: blah blah)
then sudo emerge -av kde
all packages that show up are kdeblah-3.5.9

i did it one more time and success, ill post back after the compile

Hi all,

first of all i introduce myself a little bit.
I'm 24 years old from Germany and in the past i did only work with windows systems.
Also @work i'm only working with windows servers / desktops the only 4 unix machines are ESX boxes that host our
Windows Servers

For my work i have to earn a bit linux experience in the next time.
My colleague told me not to install any "full" linux distribution and advised me to use the gentoo minimal cd (to get more experience, to learn more).
Ok, so i did everything step by step (it was quite easy because the documentation is very good) but now i want to install kde 4.1

I have 2 virtual machines to test with gentoo on the one i install kde 3.5 and everything was working fine. Now i want to test KDE 4.1 on the other machine.

As far as i read on forum/websites the full 4.1 version is not available through emerge at the moment, right?
Any other chance to install it? Please keep in mind that i'm a real linux newbie and that i may not understand every technical words you use

I would really appreciate if someone can give me some hints and help me to get rid of this.

If you need any more information please let me know and i will try to provide it.

Thanks a lot in advance!!!

Wish you a nice day.

Stefan

CryoGen's post above is a perfect example of what's been bothering me for months during the kde4 testing process, so here's my two cents.

It sure would be useful (no pun intended) to have better documentation about precisely what USE flags should be enabled/disabled for each kde4 package. Some are pretty obvious, but I have a feeling there is much more to this than is known by most users. Having one location listing the definitive recommended flags would sure save a lot of trial and error compile time which leads to mysterious failures. Apparently, the ebuilds don't always specify all needed or optional flags or have any info message during configure, and it's a crap shoot whether or not a given user happens to have required flags in make.conf.

If it's a known required/optional flag, why make everyone re-invent the wheel by trial and error, if it's possible to just have them all documented somewhere? I'm not so concerned about the optional flags, but mainly those that can cause compiling problems on the current or other related packages

I have emerged KDE 4.1, it seems to work fine.

But I have a problem with KMail and sending mails. When I try to send a mail I get the following error:

Authentication support is not compiled into kio_smtp

I have addes sasl to my USE-Flat and re-emerged kioslaves and kmail without success.

Any Idea?

[tkhemili78]

[Krog]

Ok, the problem with qt is solved. It was like coolsnowmen said. I had to keyworded pyqt4.

But now I have another slight problem. I cannot add remote calendars to korganizer, only from local folders. Maybe I miss a package what wich or an use flag? Anyone have an idea?
