|
|
Hi all,
i switched my work and home laptop to the default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd profile. Today I want to create an activity under KDE but nothing happens. I tried it on my two laptops and the result is the same - nothing, so I think it is a general problem. I detected the package kde-base/kactivitymanagerd-4.13.3-r1 and try to emerge it, but it fails:
Code: |
emerge kde-base/kactivitymanagerd
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ~] kde-base/kactivitymanagerd-4.13.3-r1 USE="(-aqua)"
[blocks B ] <kde-base/kactivities-4.13.3-r1 ("<kde-base/kactivities-4.13.3-r1" is blocking kde-base/kactivitymanagerd-4.13.3-r1)
|
I found nothing about kde activities on the gentoo sites. How can I create a activity under kde4 on a gentoo system?
Thanks in advance! |

kactivitymanagerd was split out of kde-base/kactivities from kde-base/kactivities-4.13.3-r1, so it's present in earlier versions. Check for /usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd. |

There is no /usr/bin/kactivitymanagerd
Code: | locate kactivitymanagerd
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/kactivitymanagerd.mo
/usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/kactivitymanagerd_fileitem_linking_plugin.mo
|
which package owns kactivitymanagerd? |

I just noticed you mentioned you're using the plasma profile (note this is intended for use with Plasma 5, not KDE 4). This means that, by default, kde-base/kactivities will be built with USE="minimal" meaning that kactivitymanagerd is not built and installed.
I suggest rebuilding kde-base/kactivities with USE="-minimal (and considering switching to a more appropriate profile). |

Thank you Kensington,
switching to profile default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde/systemd solve the problem. |
