[kde-testing] and [kde-crazy] KDE4 overlays thread (part 5)

[hf.farhad]

@hf.farhad,
TheDodger on top of P.6 of this thread had an ebuild edit that solved your git problem, but I think if you sync the overlay it was fixed a few days ago.

The ebuild provided by The Dodger is for k3b! I need ebuilds for kdepim*
I just did a layman -s kde,

Code: Select all

farhad-laptop kde # layman -s kde
* Running... # ( cd /var/lib/layman/kde  && /usr/bin/git pull )
Already up-to-date.
...

EDIT:
There is another problem: I can't open any file in dolphin! it just opens open with dialog and no program is listed in it... any idea?
Thanks!

[Cyberwizzard]

BTW: New kde-env fails for me

yep:

Code: Select all

>> Install kde-env-4.5.90-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kde-env-4.5.90-r1/image/ category kde-base
!!! doexe: 11-xdg-menu-kde-4.6 does not exist
doexe failed

The bug is this: "cat <<EOF > 11-xdg-menu-${KDE_X}" becomes "11-xdg-menu-KDE-4".

I modified the doexe line to read: 'doexe 11-xdg-menu-${KDE_X} || die "doexe failed"'

K3b does not work now. Even the live version.
Only a message "No optical drive found" is shown. I thing it is caused by latest changes made in Solid.

Yes, I have several things that can be attached to this : I don't have sound in phonon, my battery isn't recognized yet (whereas she was a week ago when I tried kde4.6)...

I have no problem with sound (hda, alsa) and battery (I had two batteries in beta2 - one from HAL and second from upower).
What is ouput of "upower --dump"?

[RevNumbers]

Hi, kdepim is moved to git, but the kde overlay tries to checkout from svn and fails! I tried to change eclasses, but I could'nt make it work....

I second that

[ponciarello]

for k3b, try to start it with a disc in the drive: this way, it should detect the burner

EDIT: for phonon: I've read the suggestion below, just to say that you can try also phonon-mplayer to use mplayer as a backend.

for battery, I think guidance-powermanager doesn't work, you have to use the integrated powerdevil (that relies on upower).

[hf.farhad]

Yes, I have several things that can be attached to this : I don't have sound in phonon, my battery isn't recognized yet (whereas she was a week ago when I tried kde4.6)...

For the phonon problem, I installed phonon-vlc and phonon is working now, It seems that Xine backend does not work in KDE 4.6 (disabling HAL seems to kill the sound on some systems, if you're using xine backend!).
My battery is recognized, but when I click on battery icon in system tray, plasma hangs!

[bers]

Xine backend work for me, install media-sound/phonon-9999

[hf.farhad]

Xine backend work for me, install media-sound/phonon-9999

I have phonon-9999 and phonon-kde-9999. xine backend does not work and is not even listed in in multimedia->phonon->backend section of system settings...
both phonon-9999 and phonon-kde-9999 have xine use flag. xine-lib is installed. I saw what I said in my last post in an slackware related blog!

EDIT:
blog post link: http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/starting-with-kde-4-6/
in a comment from alienbob :

If you need another phonon backend than xine (disabling HAL seems to kill the sound for some people if phonon is using this backend): I have packages in my “normal” repository for phonon-mplayer and phonon-vlc (the latter one requires that a vlc package is installed as well).

[mkyral]

for k3b, try to start it with a disc in the drive: this way, it should detect the burner

Hey, this is ugly and confusing trick. Now k3b found the blank CD, but crash as soon as I started burning

Update: I've created bug for it: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=261439

The sad is that phonon-vlc doesn't allow amarok to slow down the music when stopping (was that few month ago...).

I have just tried to boot without hal (hald removed from boot runlevel) and it works... I mean, nothing changed seriously : no battery, no sound anymore, but the machine run. I can plug in a USB key and go in...
The sad thing is that the USB key hasn't a good mountpoint ! How can I change that correctly ?

Thanks, and see you next time...

I'm still using the xine backend (with alsa) and I have no problems with sound.
below is my alsa config. The most important line is "description "My dmix config" "

If you need another phonon backend than xine (disabling HAL seems to kill the sound for some people if phonon is using this backend): I have packages in my “normal” repository for phonon-mplayer and phonon-vlc (the latter one requires that a vlc package is installed as well).

The sad is that phonon-vlc doesn't allow amarok to slow down the music when stopping (was that few month ago...).

well, amarok does slow down the music when stopping (using phonon-vlc)!

@mkyral:
how did you generate /etc/asound? I dont have this file!

Google and KDE bugzilla.
I had problems with mixing - Firefox was not able to play when phonon was running. I had to setup sw mixing (dmix).

I don't have it ! So sad ! (just tried it now !)

[TheDodger]

Oh no!

strigi have moved to git too.
In this Effekt, an install of strigi-9999 will not work.

I look at the ebuild and will check to change the install-source (e.g. my simple work on k3b) ...

kdepim-4.5.93 still doesn't work for me. I had to change kde4-meta.eclass like this

Code: Select all

kdepim-runtime)
    if [[ ${PV} == 4.5.93 ]] ; then
        tarball="kdepim-runtime-4.6beta3.tar.${postfix}"
     fi
;;

Furthermore the directory name inside the archive is expected to be kdepim-runtime-4.5.93 instead of kdepim-runtime-4.6beta3. It seemed faster to me to extract the archive, rename the directory and compress the files again than changing the eclass.

[asturm]

Anyone having kdm in a working state? I think it stopped displaying anything except the background image with 4.5.4 or kernel 2.6.37, I can login blindly but the kdm background is all I ever see. startkde on the other hand works like a charm.

[22decembre]

I have kdm... nothing wrong !

[asturm]

I remember that it definitely started that behaviour with 2.6.37, but it randomly occurred on 2.6.36 too.

Btw, pykde4-4.5.90 fixed with recent sync!

[haveimooed]

kdepimlibs-4.5.90 fails during compile:

Code: Select all

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/org.freedesktop.Akonadi.NotificationManager.xml', needed by `akonadi/notificationmanagerinterface.cpp'.  Stop.

[TheDodger]

kdepim-9999 are not in svn too?

Will the KDE-Crew now use only git as Version Management System?

Our Repositories are currently actuell ... no changes after 'layman -s kde'

[asturm]

afaik the whole KDE repository is gradually being migrated to git, there will be more temporary breakage in the future.
