[kde-testing] and [kde-crazy] KDE4 overlays thread (part 4)

Hi. When portage tries to upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 it shows a lot of blocks and 4.4 installs in a slot. Is it bug or I missed something?

Portage should automatically resolve the blocks and unmerge 4.3, unless there's an issue with your system config (e.g., you have 4.3 versions hardcoded in your world file)?

Hi,

In the last few days I've been getting these errors every time I run eix-sync:

Hello,

Anyone else getting lockups at the KDE splash screen (right after logging in with kdm). The first icon loads fine, the next three stop at a semiblurred state, I can move the mouse but I can't change to a console nor do the Num Lock/Caps Lock LEDs respond.

How can I debug this? Searching for 'error' in ~/.xsession-errors (or sth like that) produces no results.

I'm using the 9999 ebuilds and I have emerged -e world twice in the last couple of days...

Thanks

P.S. I'm even getting this when starting with a completely empty home directory.

consolekit was automatically loaded (it's in the needed runlevel) but I added it to default anyway. I don't think that's the problem since kdm seems to work fine (the lockup happens after I log in to KDE). how do I check this elog thing? Is it in /var/log?

In /var/log/messages I get some info on drkonq segfaulting and libkdecore.so is mentioned too, but this error hasn't appeared in recent logins (after I reemerged -e world for the second time).

Update:

It seems kwin is causing the problem: I logged in using the failsafe mode and started a few apps (including firefox which I'm using right now). However, after starting kwin the computer locks up after 1 minute or so. It seems to work fine before it locks up though. I don't get any useful debugging messages at the console, at least none that I can assess.

The problem of course remains unsolved as I practically have no window manager and I can't resize and/or move windows...

UPDATE2:

SOLVED... by disabled desktop effects... weird though, I haven't had desktop effects issues in a long time...

Does anyone get this weird plasma panel colouring issue? ============> http://imagebin.org/84412

Can anyone suggest where I might have gone wrong? ALL of kde-4.4 seems to
have disappeared from the kde overlay. The other slots are there but not 4.4
I thought perhaps I had a problem with my local repository so I deleted it from
layman and the added it again but without any difference.
Here is an example of what I have (or don't) :-
kde-base/kdelibs
Available versions:
(3.5) [M]3.5.9-r4!t 3.5.10-r6!t
(4.2) ~4.2.4-r4!t
(4.3) [m]4.3.1-r1!t [m]4.3.1-r2!t [m]~4.3.2-r3!t
(0) **4.4.9999[1] **9999[1]

kde-4.4 is in portage. re-sync both and you'll be fine.

Thanks
I decided to do an emerge --sync as I had already done my usual emerge-delta-webrsync twice today and for some reason the kde-4.4 stuff hadn't appeared. Everything now looks to be present...

Sometimes KDE enables the numpad to move the mouse pointer here... it seems quite random.

I wonder if there is any kind of shortcut for enabling such feature (maybe I'm enabling it by accident?). I also wonder if there is any way to enable this feature, 'cause I couldn't find in systemsettings O.O

After a recent emerge -e world I came across the following failures:

media-sound/phonon won't build because it has been moved to gitorious. Editing the ebuild and changing inherit to: "inherit cmake-utils git" and the SVN link to "EGIT_REPO_URI="git://gitorious.org/phonon/phonon.git"" fixed this

kde-base/phonon-kde configure fails with the following error:

oops, i think i missed the news that layman overlays are now located in /var and didn't update make.conf :-)

so my previous post might be totally irrelevant :-D

Took me some days to notice too, back then.

Btw: What's up with dev-util/kdevelop-plugins-9999 these days? Ebuild is non-functional since weeks, probably months, but doesn't seem to compile a whole lot anyway.

+php USE flag fails, and without it there's no make target 'install'

Does latest nm 0.8 work with knetworkmanager for you?

The tray icon just says: "Network information unavailable"

Interesting console output from knetworkmanager:

Cyberwizzard · Posted: Mon Mar 01, 2010 9:18 pm Post subject:

Same here, I think I got the nm 0.8 upgrade in the same run as I installed KDE 4.4.0. I wiped my settings and KDE pretends like it knows the network configurations (at least they show up and can be edited like normal in the control panel).

However, running 'cnetworkmanager -u' gives me 'The name org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings was not provided by any .service files' as well. Which should not happen as KDE 4.4 should be providing the network configurations.

Edit: looks like it might be related to NM 0.8 and KDE4 since the NetworkManager back-end didn't make it into 4.4... I'm installing the snapshot version now to see if that resurrects my KDE networking...

Edit 2: So far no dice, however I did found some line in .xsession-errors telling me '/usr/lib64/kde4/solid_networkmanager07.so' is loaded... Which is a bad sign unless the 07 is in there for no specific reason... That file belongs to 'solid' so I am emerging that one again, hoping that a fresh emerge will create the proper interface...

Edit 3: It appears I still had NM 0.7.2 installed (how I thought I had 0.8.0 is a mystery), but upgrading to 0.8.0 did not improve anything. With both I can use 'cnetworkmanager' to set up my wireless (by hand) and everything from KDE 4.4 is simply ignored.

related to NM 0.8 and KDE4: I did dispatch-conf, then killed nm-settings-daemon (or something like that) restarted NM with init script and now it works (I also recompiled knetworkmanager-9999)
