KDE4 Overlay - monolithic ebuilds (Part 2)

ok, kdebase-workspace-3.96.0 and kdebase-runtime was installed correctly. How can I now run kde4 using kdm?
Should I install some addition packages? (i've installed only kdebase-runtime with all dependencies).

By default you should find it under the menu point "session"

I rarely reboot my pc, so I don't know since when this problem appeared.
The file on /etc/env.d/ who set up all the paths does't exists anymore, so who have a system with only kde4 as DE, as me, can't start kdm on boot and others problems...

Has this file been removed by upstream (kde4 developers) or has it been removed by overlay's ebuilds?
If it has been removed by overlay's ebuilds, can't it be enabled/disabled by a USE flag?
For example a USE flag called kde4only or something similar...

[quote="dracula1985"Has this file been removed by upstream (kde4 developers) or has it been removed by overlay's ebuilds?[/quote]

Same problem : I guess the latter - see the end of the ebuild for what the file would have been - it's been commented out. For the present the solution is DIY.

i'm still facing no icons or graphics of any kind :/.

here's my problem (i think):

Code: Select all

kwin(12394) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ): 0x "500"
kwin(12394) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ): 0x "500"
kwin(12394) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ): 0x "500"
kwin(12394) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ): 0x "500"
kwin(12394) KWin::checkGLError: GL error ( PostPaint ): 0x "500"
...

any ideas?

I'm having a problem with KDE 3.96.0

I start it with a new user I created. KDE4 starts fine but "kdesktop" and "kicker" from KDE3 are loaded o_O

gimpel · Post by **gimpel** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 1:07 am

I start it like this... using GDM though
That way $PATH and $XDG_DATA from kde3 and kde4 don't mix up, and settings are written to ~/.kde4.

/usr/bin/kde4:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh
eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`

# don't show non-KDE4 applications for now
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/usr/kde/3.9/share"

export KDEDIR="/usr/kde/3.9"
export KDEDIRS="$KDEDIR"
export PATH="$KDEDIR/libexec:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH"
export KDEHOME="$HOME/.kde4"

if test -z "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" ; then
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$KDEDIR/lib"
else
   export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
fi

export LDPATH="$KDEDIR/lib:$LDPATH"

startkde

/usr/share/xsessions/kde4.desktop:

Code: Select all

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=XSession
Exec=/usr/bin/kde4
TryExec=/usr/bin/kde4

I had the same problem. I use KDE and this method fixed it up for me (as long as I remember to select a Custom instead of svn).

OK and thanks earthwing - there was no error message so I put -j1
in make.conf and now I *do* get an error report (see below).
Manually installing libnova-0.11 solved the first problem
(portage has only 0.7). However, that only delayed the next
error, which is this:

You know, I don't really care about controlling a telescope with
my computer in kde 4 (but I like kstars v. much otherwise). Any
way to tell kdeedu to skip this stuff?? Any other advice very
welcome of course.

Earthwings · Post by **Earthwings** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 5:41 pm

The ln_get_date_from_tm function is not provided by a library on your system. libnova's changelog suggests it was added in 0.12.0, so try to get a more recent version of it.

Does anyone have a problem with kstartupconfig? I emerged kde-meta-3.96.0, created a new user and tried to log in using kde-4-session. It only gives me an xmessage with the text "Could not start kstartupconfig4. Check your installation.". My guess is that comes from /usr/kde/3.9/bin/startkde line 79 after kstartupconfig4 fails two lines back. Does anyone have any ideas concerning this? Running Kstartupconfig4 manually won't do any good since it's not very informative...

Try zooming back in with the corner control thing in the upper right of the background tile that has the taskbar.

I finally got it to compile (had to switch from svn to kde4 and
edit an ebuild), thanks to this thread ...

Also got kde4 up and running with a new user. I have to
say I am *not* impressed so far. Dialogs open with the
"apply" button not visible, widgets appear below the add
widget dialog so you can't see them. Many artifacts appearing
on my screen. Does not work with twinview very well (just
blanked one monitor for no reason but still was drawing
windows on the blackness). Defaulted to non-anti-aliased fonts.
The widgets are ugly (the analog clock has hour and minute
hands which are identical in both appearance and length e.g.)
Although I've told kde4 to start with a new session, all the
widgets I've added (and then deleted) appear at startup, cluttering up
the desktop. Lots of icons are missing form the oxygen set.
Switching between ctrl-alt-f7 (kde3.5.8/user1) and ctrl-alt-f8
(kde4/user2) corrupts the kde4 screen (comes back mostly if
I right click the desktop but the desktop picture is then improperly
drawn across the two monitors). I'm noticing when I switch
modules in system settings I see many small windows open
for a 1/4 second or so before the new option screen settles
down (hard to explain but it looks horrible).

Also, I can't figure out how to apply the native compiz-like effects
that are supposed to be in kde4 (aren't they here?)

oh well, a least it runs

thanks for that - not very impressive either ...

has anyone been hit with the smb bug? If I open
an smb share in dolphin or konqueror and try to
drag a file either app crashes ... (this bug was
noted many months ago I see ...)

Also, hard to login here with my new user because
the autocomplete is screwed up

I doubt this should be regarded RC level
