I had the same problem (with all plasma notifications), so I switched back to qt-4.4.

ssmaxss · Post by **ssmaxss** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:00 pm

It works for you with newest kdelibs and qt 4.4? So the problem is in qt 4.5?

Boccaccio · Post by **Boccaccio** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 4:04 pm

Well, I'm using the portage version of kdelibs and qt and everything works nicely.

It's probably not a qt4.5 problem. They cleaned up a lot of old crap and hacks in qt4.5 so some stuff in KDE4.2 broke. Lancelot shows no menus, quicklaunch crashes etc. It's not that qt4.5 is broken, the KDE guys will have to fix some stuff. From what I hear many of the issues are already resolved in KDE trunk.

I like qt4.5 even though some plasma applets have issues as it made for a very noticeable performance increase. And on my old HW I need all the performance increase I can get.

Lots of KDE packages seem to need Eigen 2.0.51 recently. It seems to compile even with this message though.

Code: Select all

-- Eigen2 version 2.0.0 found in /usr/include/eigen2, but at least version 2.0.51 is required                                                              
-- Could NOT find Eigen2  (missing:  EIGEN2_VERSION_OK)

It's strange because the version 2.0.0 was released on February 2, 2009 and numbering 2.0.51 makes me think of a development version.

What ebuild calls this version of Eigen?

mikedee · Post by **mikedee** » Fri Feb 20, 2009 11:17 am

For example, parley-9999 needs this version of Eigen. I had a lot of build failures and I assumed it was all related to the same thing.

Has somebody compiled Amarok-2.0.1.1 with qt-4.5? I get a compilation error.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but the forum search is suboptimal, and google is blocked.

What do I have to do to get the phonon backends showing up in systemsettings when using kdeprefix?

I have
media-sound/phonon-9999 with (-debug) (gstreamer) (xcb) (xine)
kde-base/phonon-kde-9999 with (-debug) (kdeprefix)

Sound works, but seems it uses gstreamer by default, so I'm unable to play WMA and even OGG files in amarok.
The backend dialog in systemsettings is emtpy.

EDIT: Why doesn't media-sound/phonon provide a kdeprefix useflag?

ln -s /usr/lib64/kde4/plugins/phonon_backend /usr/kde/live/lib64/kde4/plugins/
ln -s /usr/share/kde4/services/phononbackends/* /usr/kde/live/share/kde4/services/

That's silly. The upstream guys should really clean up that mess and make phonon-kde freaking depend on qt-phonon instead of double-mobbling it.

Next issue: in order to get strigi indexing working properly on amd64, I figured out that soprano's sesame2 backend gets built with the totally broken generation-1 blackdown-jdk. Strigi just died while indexing, well it didn't index anything at all, looking at ~/.kdelive/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/

Wanting to get rid of blackdown anyway, I uninstalled it, and afterwards soprano failed with: "Could not find Java JNI"

So I had to modify the ebuild a bit to make sure it gets build with a generation-2 JVM:

Code: Select all

--- a/dev-libs/soprano/soprano-9999.ebuild
+++ b/dev-libs/soprano/soprano-9999.ebuild
@@ -56,6 +56,9 @@ src_configure() {
        # NOTE: temporarely fix until a better cmake files patch will be provided.
        use elibc_FreeBSD && append-ldflags "-lpthread"

+       # Make sure we don't use java-1
+       use sesame2 && export JAVA_HOME="$(java-config-2 -O)"
+
        mycmakeargs="${mycmakeargs}
                -DSOPRANO_BUILD_TESTS=OFF"

Now after a soprano rebuild and a nepomuk restart, it works fine.

Is it possible to compile koffice-1.9.98.6 from this overlay? For me it krita and kchart failed with compilation errors and I stopped emerge. Maybe some deps are wrong?

zwede · Post by **zwede** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 5:13 pm

This is a post to share my recent success in getting good performance with desktop effects. I've had the effects on for a while now and was never too happy with them. They were choppy and the effect for raising a window never worked. I'd just get a 2 second delay and then the window would appear raised. Resizing windows was painful and took 3-4 seconds. It never displayed any intermediate sizes, just finally appeared at the new size.

I thought it was due to my old HW, Athlon64 3200, ATI X800XL. I even made a shopping list to upgrade my system with new CPU, mboard, graphics etc.

Then I started reading the man page for the radeon driver and realized it defaults to some very slow failsafe settings. XAA acceleration, no pageflip, etc.

I made an xorg.conf file that ONLY contains this (everything else auto-detected):

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Builtin Default ati Device 0"
 Driver "radeon"
 Option "EnablePageFlip" "true"
 Option "AccelMethod" "EXA"
 Option "AccelDFS" "true"
EndSection

The difference is like night and day. Performance is now wonderful. All animations are smooth, the delays in raising windows or resizing are gone. Everything works great and I just saved $300 by not having to upgrade the HW. Even the alt-tab page-flip that never worked before works now.

My mistake was to delete xorg.conf back when that was recommended with the newer xorg-servers and never checking the radeon man-page to see what the defaults were.

mikedee · Post by **mikedee** » Sun Feb 22, 2009 6:29 pm

I had the same problem with nvidia. This seems to be the basic required for decent performance.

Code: Select all

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Videocard0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    Option         "RenderAccel" "true"
EndSection

Without RenderAccel, firefox windows are really slow to resize and move.

For me even version 4.2.0 version sometimes loses connection to talk.google.com and doesn't care to reconnect.

Are you useing ssl connection?

I recompiled app-crypt/qca-ossl-2.0.0_beta3 and after that kopete with ssl use flag but nothing helped.
I allways get this error:

revdep-rebuild doesn't help, but manually rebuilding kde-base/systemsettings fixed the problem. Is it bug of revdep-rebuild?

I was just wondering- the last few times I've tried to sync kde-testing, it waits about 3-5 minutes, then eventually runs, and completes. This never used to happen. Anyone else seeing this, and if not, what could be my local problem? No other web site/repo ever does this, so I can't see how it's a dns look-up problem with my configs. All other networking stuff works fine- just the kde-testing repo connect is weird.

Responding to my kmail problem on bottom of Page 18, mikedee wrote:

wrc1944: I am not sure if this is your problem but today there was a post on the kde mailing list saying that libical 0.42 is now required for kdepimlibs. We only have 0.33 so we have to wait for the main tree to update or compile libical yourself.

I updated today, and libical was up to 0.43. I installed it, then rebuilt kdedeps-live and kdebase-live, but kmail still fails with the same error as before.

Apparently, the libical version wasn't the problem. Anyone else seeing this, and have any ideas?

Hi there
I just installed KDE4 following this guide: http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/k ... -guide.xml
It installed smothly (despite the problem with multithread with openjade, but I fixed that in time and recompiled it), and I'm impressed with KDE4. Really looks good!
The problem is, I cannot manage configuration. First time I clicked Menu->Settings it crashed and KDE closed instantly and droped me back to KDM. Now I can look into Settings, but everything I try gives me a "The shared library was not found. Library _______ not found".

Anything I'm missing?

No, that isn't what revdep-rebuild looks for. It looks for missing dependancies using ldd; it does not look for undefined external symbols.
