Yakuake

One more ... emerge yakuake

It is a console that sits at the top of the screen you can make it transparent and it rolls up and down using the F12 key.. damn handy, I use it all the time. It will automatically roll up when the focus is shifted.

Code: Select all

destiny joonas # esearch yakuake
[ Results for search key : yakuake ]
[ Applications found : 0 ]

 
destiny joonas # emerge -pv yakuake

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies   
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "yakuake".

Synced yesterday...

But I have downloaded YaKuake from http://kde-apps.org and installed it. Oh and yes it is very handy. When YaKuake can be used with tabs, I'll start using it as my default term. Now Konsole is ;-).

Oh, you can get YaKuake from here: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29153
I recommend.

This ebuild suport only 2.5 (and hopefully future versions, this is due to a change in the package internals, that now names the directory in a ${PN}-${PV} format, while before it was only the package name. I removed konsole dep, that is not needed. Dunno why I put it there... Anyway, this is a very rudimentary ebuild, and I dont plan to learn more about ebuilds for now. So, might there be better ones around.

Thanks! This is just something that I needed.

I have been using yakuake for a few days now... I love it, I just downloaded it and built it with

Code: Select all

./configure --without-arts --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`

Thanks alot, dear 6thpink, for your ebuild and beatryder for the configure options!
But during installation I stumbled into a aclocal problem, which is described and solved here:

Thanks

I save it under kde-misc/yakuake/yakuake-2.4.ebuild (current version is 2.4) in my overlay directory. Then, as usual, digest it and then emerge. If you need a new version just rename the ebuild in the future, for example to yakuake-2.5.ebuild, it should work out of the box.

Konsole is not required. if you doubt me, compile yakuake from src by hand, and then try temporarily renaming the konsole binary.

I don't think a new app is exactly what this thread is about, might want to start a thread in the support forums for this.

I dissagree... its a great tip!

Hi guys,

I tried to install Yakuake, but with no luck.

What's my mistake?

This is what happens with emerge and the script found here:

Code: Select all

Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) kde-misc/yakuake-2.5 to /
!!! No package manifest found: /usr/portage/kde-misc/yakuake/Manifest

And this what happens if I try to ./configure it manually (even with a plain "./configure" command issued):

Code: Select all


./configure --without-arts --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
bash: kde-config: command not found
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for kde-config... not found
configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.

I swear I HAVE Kde installed

First error: change into the dir you have copied the ebuild and do "ebuild yakuake-2.5.ebuild diggest". Second one: probably kde-config is not on your path or something strange is happening.

Thank you for your answer.

I gave "ebuild"... also added "kde-misc/yakuake-2.5" to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided.

Now this is what I get:

Code: Select all

Seems it can't find the "yakuake" directory inside the work path, shouldn't it be already there?... I guess this should be easy to fix.

Uhm! Your ebuild might be old. Copy the one above (note that I updated it). Since 2.5 the naming of the directory has changed, so now, instead of being in the previous format (that in ebuild appeared like S="${WORKDIR}/${PN}" and means /var/tmp/portage/yakuake) now is in another format (S="${WORKDIR}/${P}" or S="${WORKDIR}/${PN}-${PV}" , that is /var/tmp/portage/yakuave-2.5, or whatever version it is).

Solution one, update the ebuild with the one that I edited above. Solution two: edit the ebuild and change ${PN} to ${P} in the S=....... line. Note that any time that the ebuild is edited or changed in any way you will need to digest it again, like I told you above.

EDIT: In the process, you might want to rename the ebuild to yakuake-2.6.ebuild. Version 2.6 is out now

Just copy or rename it and you will be able to emerge 2.6 instead of 2.5. It has many bugfixes and the renaming tabs feature.

And remove the enty from package.provided. You want it in /etc/portage/package.keywords (unless you are running amd64 or ~arch)

Sorry mate... I thought I used the current (2.5) one, but somehow I found to have the old one

maybe I got it from the reply...

Anyway, I had just noticed that the .bz file of the latest version, was actually different having a yaku2.5 dir inside it...

But I had NO idea how to fix that

, now I've learned a bit more how portage works.

(you see, I'm just back to gentoo after having to use debian for some time...)

Now I just wonder why simply compiling the source by hand did not work... maybe gentoo has a weird path scheme?

i92guboj · Post by **i92guboj** » Sun Oct 09, 2005 4:58 pm

Glad to hear that it worked. About the manual compilation... don't know. Seems that make can't find kde-config, strange thing because you are using kde-config in the command line (which means that it is in the path). Have you tried to manually specify the --prefix without using kde-config?

I think that kde-config reads the config files to get the current version of kde. Maybe is some kind of configuration corruption in that files what caused the weird error, can't be sure but that would explain the issue. Anyway, the important thing is that your kuake is now working!

Gee how fast is that thing moving eheh!

I've just read 2.6 is out... I'm going to install it instantly, since 2.5 has some minor but annoying bug.

I've also noticed that "kdm" can't be started anymore from prompt... neither the other programs in "usr/kde/3.4/bin".

This happenned just after I rc-updated kdm. Is this ok or are there any troubles in my system??

Ok, thanks, just removed it.

I didn't say, but obviously I had already put it into package.keywords (it would not start otherwise, I think

).

Just a note, for anybody that hasn't noticed, 2.7 seems to be out.

Gee how fast is it!! I didn't check... for "so" long!

Thanks, I'm going to update asap (now I'm on Windoze...).

In fact since many hours ago there is a 2.7.1 release, just copy the 2.6 ebuild with the new name and digest it.

Lots of bugfixes and new stuff. Amazing

Using your ebuild at moment, oh and it's hit 2.7.2

i92guboj · Post by **i92guboj** » Sat Oct 15, 2005 3:25 pm

I,ll better not emerge it until this night, :lol, it may appear still a 2.7.3 or something, the thing seems too active today

I can't seem to get my ebuild to digest. I tried:

Code: Select all

 ebuild /usr/local/portage/kde-misc/yakuake/yakuake/yakuake-2.6.ebuild digest
!!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'yakuake/yakuake-2.6' not specified:
!!!            None
!!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'yakuake/yakuake-2.6' not specified:
!!!            None
doebuild(): aux_get() error reading yakuake/yakuake-2.6; aborting.

and

Code: Select all

Zyzzyva yakuake # ebuild yakuake-2.6.ebuild digest
!!! doebuild: yakuake-2.6.ebuild not found for digest

I am not really sure what I am doing wrong, as other than nitro-sources, this is the first program I am attempting to install from a third party ebuild. Someone want to enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong? When i figure that out, I am also curious as to how to rename it in order to get the latest (2.7.2) or whatever its at now.

It looks as though you've got a double yakuake in your path, it should be :

Code: Select all

 /usr/local/portage/kde-misc/yakuake/

To update to 2.7.2, rename the ebuild over to yakuake-2.7.2.ebuild and re-run the ebuild digest.

Yakuake

Yakuake

wow - what a tool!
