KDE 4.1 portage

Strayer · Posted: Fri Sep 19, 2008 9:50 am Post subject:

I want my KDE 4.2 in german language... but I can only find kde-4 and kde-svn slotted packages for kde-l10n.
Is this a bug or something or are there just no ebuilds for them?

Any way to change the size/color of the Application Launcher in kde-4.1.66? It got shorter so that now I only see 4 favorites and now is fixed at black like the taskbar.

oh yes, just move your mouse pointer to the top right edge.

Thanks.

To my defense no gripper was drawn like in kde-4.1. But I guess other windows operate this way also..

And that also fixed a color bug for me. For some reason the selected item was getting a gray highlight that was drawn improperly (it covered part of the item above) and the scroll bar also had drawing problems.

noone knows my problem ? phonen doesn't find phonon-xine !? (kde 4.1.66)

asturm · Developer Joined: 05 Apr 2007 Posts: 8936

I do have the same problem yet haven't any solution. Recompiling phonon, phonon-xine and the upgrade to qt-4.4.2 didn't help. I think we'll have to wait for kde-4.1.67...

EDIT: Solution found!

Unmask media-sound/phonon-9999 * **, emerge it, be happy.

I do have linking problems too with amarok-1.90, k3b, ktorrent,...

However try amarok-1.9999, it builds fine.

what's the address of the site which updates on the kde4.1 ebuild creation?

Hi,

I got a problem installing KDE-4.1. I completely followed this guide:

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_KDE4

and on

asturm · Developer Joined: 05 Apr 2007 Posts: 8936

Things have changed recently:

kdesvn-portage has dumped all 4.1 ebuilds to concentrate exclusively on the 4.2 branch
KDE-4.1 branch remains in official kde-testing

After some hassle amarok-1.9999 even works, kind of. I'm missing smart playlists though.

So what version of KDE should I use? 4.1 or 4.2?

I installed the kde-testing overlay and got

asturm · Developer Joined: 05 Apr 2007 Posts: 8936

That's because there is no such slot (4.1) in kde-testing. Instead, you might want to use (4):

And what should I do on the eclass-override?

Trying to get 4.1 working, then...

asturm · Developer Joined: 05 Apr 2007 Posts: 8936

I think we can ignore that for now...

bienchen · Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2008 10:16 pm Post subject:

Is it possible, that there are many dependencies not unmask for KDE 4.1 from the kde-testing overlay?

Like x11-libs/qt-svg:4, for an example?

greetings,

bienchen

qt-4.4* is in official portage, yet masked. Yes, you have to do some things by hand.

I have reworked the KDE4 gentoo-wiki to make the differences between kde-testing and kdesvn-portage visible. It might be of help for you: http://gentoo-wiki.com/KDE4

EDIT: I've switched over to kde-testing myself - it works great.

To circumvent the problems with anonsvn.kde.org, you have to add the line

I followed the new KDE4 instructions on gentoo-wiki to install kde4 and I get the below. The first time I ran in, it installed 11 packages:

kde-base/automoc-0.9.84
media-sound/phonon-4.2.0-r1
app-office/akonadi-server-1.0.0
dev-libs/soprano-2.1
kde-base/kdelibs-4.1.1-r2
kde-base/kdepimlibs-4.1.1
app-misc/strigi-0.5.11
kde-base/libkworkspace-4.1.1
kde-base/libtaskmanager-4.1.1
kde-base/libplasma-4.1.1
kde-base/kate-4.1.1

This list is obviously a small subset of the kde4 packages - now when I run emerge -vat @kde-4x, I get this:

hm. ich just installed kdebase-meta and the additional packages i wanted to have (e.g. kopete, amarok... )

@PaulSorensen: It seems you already had some kde-4.1 packages installed? Did you switch from kdesvn-portage?

I don't know how those ebuilds work together - someone here posted an alpha guide howto move from kdesvn-portage to kde-testing, but it didn't look too easy. Have you been able to login into a kde4 session without problems?

I made the switch by unmerging all "4.1" slotted packages and finally emerging kdebase-meta:4. Didn't use the set but I get the same validation warnings - maybe that's broken for now.

This should do the trick if you want a clean kde-testing 4.1 environment:
