Qt 4.7.0 and KDE 4.5.2 - Yay!

sam_i_am · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 19 Sep 2003 Posts: 131

I was able to compile KDE 4.5.2 with Qt 4.7.0 on a x86 system. There were a few breakages due to libpng as this system hasn't been updated in a while. But, once that was sorted out, rest of the compilation went smoothly. Been using it for about hour so far and all is well :-D

PS: Had to go through a few hoops to unmask Qt 4.7.0, add a few unstable packages to get everything going. But no big hassle.

Nope,

yesterday qt-4.7.0 was unmasked, and kde-4.5.3 crashes after emerging it on logout:

hm, people keep telling how qt 4.7.0 was unmasked, but it isn't: http://www.google.com/custom?sa=Search&q=qt-&sitesearch=packages.gentoo.org

That said, there are no issues with kde-4.5.3 and qt-4.7.0 on my system except for openoffice.

qt-4.7.0 is unmasked. I know the danger of using ~amd64 testing, but still, it is unmasked. Beside of nvidia-drivers for the 2.3.36 kernel I haven't unmasked no other hardmasked package:

That's interesting, because when you take a look at the search link that I posted, it appears to be masked. E.g.: http://packages.gentoo.org/package/x11-libs/qt-core

@vdracula: Maybe you need to recompile major parts of KDE after the Qt upgrade.

p.g.o doesn't update information shown very often.

I've recompilde whole qt, kdelibs. revdep-rebuild gives me nothing. (same on my second computer, wich is the same as my first)

Running an ~x86 box, I just finished a qt-4.7.0 update (15 pkgs), having kde-4.5.3 already installed, and the reboot into kde went perfectly, so I guess it's binary compatible.

No problems so far.

O.K. this goes a little bit too far away from the problem here.

There're people who like semantic desktop and those who don't.

Unfurtunately, this is not the problem here, whether to use semantic desktop or not.

Still, kmix and co crash on logout.

Anyone has a solution??

Just updated to qt-4.7 at the weekend - got kde 4.5.3 here on ~amd64.

Seems to have gone relatively smoothly _however_ on each of my desktops I now have bordered, transparent box, like an empty window or widget or something. taking up 2/3 pf the screen starting in the top left hand corner. It isn't obtrusive, but it only appeared after I rebooted.

I've tried recompiling kdelibs, kwin and the plasma bits, but to no avail. I realise the solution to this is probably to delete .kde4

Yes, the shadow-box or smal desktop inside desktop-box is also appearing from time to time (was appearing also in 4.5.2)

Check this thread for more victims of the translucent orphan widget:

It seems to have gone away for me too, and I have no idea what I did.

Hello!
I also have segmentation faults on logout with kmix and ksmserver. ~amd64 here.
Did rebuilding anything changed it for someone?

I updated my box last night and for my concern, it's working pretty good.

I don't have any problem with KDE right now.

Updated to KDE 4.5.3 over the weekend. The only problem I'm seeing is that suspend-to-ram doesn't work. Nothing happens when I select that. Had this happen for 4.5.2 as well.

Hmm, kwin just segfaulted here. I note qt-4.7.1 is in the tree, currently masked.
