 Posted: Fri Aug 19, 2005 9:37 pm Post subject: KDE blocks KDM?! |
 |
|
| I'm trying to setup a new system, and revive an old system that broke a few weeks ago. I've installed (or re-installed, as the case may be) KDE, but now I can't install KDM because it's blocked by KDE-base. What's the deal? Do I need to install KDM first? I don't remember having this problem in the past. |

| I had the same thing happen. I installed KDE and then tried to install KDM but it was blocked. However, I think that KDM cames with KDE becouse it was installed and usible for me after I installed KDE. |

quite right. kdm is part of kde-base. if you want to install kdm seperately you will need to uninstall kde-base and then install the parts of it that you need from the split ebuilds.

Thank you.
Do you mean that after I emerge kdebase, the system will install kdm as well? |

I don't think you need to worry about kdebase. It will take care of itself. If you merge kde, you'll also get kdebase and kdm. If you merge kdm you'll also get kdebase but without the actual kde desktop. At least that's the way it seems to work.
If in doubt play with emerge -p and see what it shows. |

I haven't tried insalling those components without the actual desktop. Try | Code: | | emerge -p kdenetwork kdeadmin kdm | less |
and see what all it will list. The -p switch will just show you what packages would be merged without actually doing it. When I anticipate more than a screen-full of packages to list with the -p option, I typically pipe it through less (or most) so I can scroll through the output.
You shouldn't need to specify kdebase as it will be merged automatically as a requirement for kdm (and probably kdeadmin).
I know kdm will work without the kde desktop. I haven't a clue about kdeadmin and kdenetwork. |
