I guess it's not really a problem but better save then sorry

Besides I only compile KDE over night anyway so I don't need a pretty GUI.

I noticed that when it was compiling, all of my applications started having problems. The buttons disappeared with Kopete and Kmail. Quanta could not access any of my projects. It was generaly a big pain.

Quanta and Kopete are working now but I still have issues with Kmail. If you are compiling KDE 3.2.1, it may be safer to make sure none of your applications are running, I think.

problems WHILE you're compiling are normal since some new libs get compiled and upgraded and some others don't, but nothing you can't fix logging out/in when upgrading is done.

THe thing that pisses me off is that they succeded breaking something that already worked, like konqueror plugins. I found it broken also on debian and many other replyed on bugzilla (ppl with mandrake, with suse etc )...

Who is testing kde stuff? In this time, when linux has to spread on desktops, I can't find this attitude positive.

Sorry for the rant.

But does anyone know why this happened?
The system I installed KDE on was a fresh one, there hasn't been any other KDE installation before but the plugins option was missing.
After reemerging the packets whichs were mentioned before it was there.
So what really is/was the problem?
The order in which you emerge it?

I _have_ the plugin option, and yes it also recognizes all plugins installled, but when i browse sites with flash or java almost all the times it doesn't work, not even complaining about not having plugins, simply not showing or doing anything.

Merlin-TC: Thanks, it did it!

Maybe I should fill in a bug report for this, has anybody else experienced this?

Merlin-TC · Post by **Merlin-TC** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 8:24 pm

@el_compa: Cool that it's working for you now

Do you have any suspicions on what really fixed it or did you just emerge all packages that were suggested?

Btw, does anyone have sound in the flash animations when using konqueror?

el_compa · Post by **el_compa** » Thu Mar 11, 2004 8:29 pm

The thing that fixed it was reducing the sound buffer.

Woops

I forgot about that answer.
Glas that it's working now, do you fight with the Konqueror/Flash problem as well?

Gandalf98's great tip worked like a charm. I'm on dialup, and already had the 3.2.0 tars in distfiles, so it was especially great for me.

I emerged xdelta, went and got the kde-xdelta script he mentioned, did a chmod 755 on it to make it executable, and downloaded the xdelta files from a kde mirror into distfiles. Then, I did emerge -up kde to see what was required, and downloaded all the packages I needed EXCEPT the kde 3.2.1 tars to distfiles.

Then I ran the script as root, and it built the kde 3.2.1 tars from the 3.2.0 versions, placing them in distfiles.

Then just emerge -uk kde, and wait for 11 hours.

It worked flawlessly- not one hiccup. Thanks Gandalf98! Talk about a time saver for us hapless dialup Gentoo enthusiasts!

It a pleasure to help the other gentoo users! The only thing that I ask is why this trick is not present in the ebuild?
I don't know if is difficult but I think that is an enhancement for us and the kde server! Same issue for the kernel!

Bye

I thought I would ask this here before starting a new thread...

Can anyone tell how to get Kate to keep its layout in 3.2.1 ?

I have tried every combination of 'restore Windows Configuration' etc i can think of and everytime it is switched off and back on again, the terminal window takes up 3/4 of the screen and I have options turned on that I don't want turned on.

I find Kate excellent to use (except this version!) so any help appreciated.

I just deleted all of my ~/.kde* files and now the kate is not opening the terminal and not taking up 3/4 of the screen. You could try that also or perhaps delete only all kate related config files from ~/.kde/ dir.

Tried that but no go - for some reason it won't let me have the file list open on the left and the terminal open on the bottom at the same time - just as I used to have it.

If I use IDEAL mode I can have one or the other, not both at once (if it does do both, one is overlapping the other), and if I use the Tab Page mode I get the terminal and the Find in Files windows taking up 3/4 of the open window.

It simply will not save the way I set it up.

I know one answer is to open View-Tool Views-Show Find Files and unclick it, then resize the terminal and then resize the file list and then resize the window,etc but who really wants to do that every time it is opened

I'm wondering about how KDE 3.2.1 works now. I've read there was some problem with Kate, which I use quite often. It also said that the patch would be backported to the already released KDE 3.2.1.

But, how long does this take? Do the gentoo ebuilds already have these patches?

Thanks a lot,
Ronald
