Could you please tell us how to enable Wayland?

You have to follow Martin's post. Packages doesn't need any rebuild/change.

Finally I got success!. I just followed martin's blog post. I am replying from KDE session with wayland backend.
Window maximize/resize animation is really smooth.

After this upgrade, Kate no longer finds any of its plugins on my installation.

It starts up fine, but all plugin-provided functionality (like the Konsole panel or tab bar) is missing, and the plugins list in the config dialog is empty: http://i.imgur.com/u3Z5Goy.png

Any idea what is going on, or how to debug this?

Kinda works, but plasma crashes when starting. And I haven't found any documentation on how to change the mouse speed in kwin.
And there's only llvmpipe available in wayland+kwin, not opengl.

Yes there are some problems. Mouse speed problem, unable to take screenshots and some of apps (gtk?) are too slow. But opengl should be available I think. It will work better If you have Intel graphic card.

The plugins have moved to a new "addons" folder in the source, the PKGBUILD needs to be updated to package them too. Open a ticket in bugs.archlinux.org

Thanks, fixed with kdesdk-katepart 4.10.80-3.

I have intel graphics. glxinfo shows llvmpipe and opengl 3d programs are really slow (because they use llvmpipe...). I haven't really looked why.

sorry if i ask, but why is it necessary to install packages from testing?
i'd like to test kde sc on a stable system, not kernel, xorg, grub, etc..
thanks to the packaging team

hi, this one is an alpha release (unstable version, like the repo name say), so if you want a stable system you need to install KDE from [extra] repo 4.10, is the stable version

hi, thanks for packages, I upgraded smootly and all works fine (nvidia card GT 440 with proprietary driver), only problem, like other is amarok crash. I tried rebuilding from sources and still crash. Now I installed amarok-git builded from AUR packages and all works fine now, can rediscover my music again
It's fixed in amarok 2.7.1-2.

even if after some days ... but thank's for this update package... all works fine now and music with amarok it's a good time ..

I can obviously not recommend it, but currently there are only a few packages in testing and community testing and they don't seem like kde would depend on libraries in any of them so right now it should kinda work installing it without testing.

But if you take a look at only kdebase-workspace, it depends on these packages:
kdelibs>=4.10.80 kdepim-runtime lm_sensors libraw1394 qimageblitz polkit-kde xorg-xprop libxdamage libqalculate libxklavier xorg-xsetroot libxcomposite libxinerama xorg-xrdb libxres xorg-xrandr xorg-xmessage libusb-compat kde-base-artwork xcb-util-renderutil xcb-util-image ttf-font xcb-util-keysyms xcb-util-wm

If only one of the shared libraries in there gets an incompatible update in testing and kde-unstable is rebuilt against it, it will most likely break if you don't have that too.

But as I said, there's only a few packages in testing right now, so upgrading to testing will probably be quick and painless. And after the kde release you can simply remove the testing repository again and do pacman -Syuu to downgrade everything to the stable repositories (has a little chance of breaking stuff too, but for me it never really has)

edit: Only do such things if you know how to fix things that break.

Also edit:
I see still no way to get the notification window back when previously you had more monitors connected and they are now outside the current monitor area. Am I missing something?

yeah, things are calm now, but, for ex., kernel 3.10 will hit testing in one week. that is to say, we have kde releases every 6 months and a testing window of minimum 2 months, there will be less painless cases ahead when you'll have to install kernel, xorg stack etc. what more will be more difficult, is to test a DE in a OS in major instability.

so, the whole point of my posting is: wouldn't it be nice to have testing packages upon which kde depends in kde-unstable repo, so to keep testing disabled?
anyway those packages will hit testing repo when kde stable will.

it sounds like a proposal
thanks for the feedback

By the way, am I the only one that can't associate "file types" with applications anymore in dolphin?

edit: and type 2 "Link" desktop files don't work in dolphin either.

http://standards.freedesktop.org/deskto … 01s05.html

If I make a file google.desktop with content

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=text-html
Name=Google
Type=Link
URL=http://google.com

then nautilus will open google in chromium, my default web browser while dolphin will open a message box "Could not find the program 'chromium.desktop'", go into a weird mode where it has "http://google.com/" in its url bar and prints

/bin/sh: chromium.desktop: command not found

Does this work with 4.10 dolphin?

in dolphin "dolphin does not support web pages, the web browser has been launched."

+ message box "could not find konqueror", while chromium is the default

May be you have to set default browser in kde system settings > Default Applications > web browser.
It works for me.

Since the upgrade to beta 2 the oxygen widget style seems missing. Looks pretty ugly without it. Anyone else having this issue?

so finally i've upgraded to 4.11 beta 2 and packaging work seems perfect, 0 problems with arch so far. few -little- regression in kde sc tough, but all in all everything runs smooth, apart from same 'ol bugs

what i miss is homerun in community/extra i'm bored with kickoff

Does anyone else have problems with the KWin/GRUB2 reboot controls? Mine seem to be broken.

could you write about what you do?, read the blog and wayland starts but no plasma

murugan · 2013-07-03 09:42:13

did you modify the startkde script as mentioned in the post?

same here (but at the end i don't care) (could it be fault of commented ttys in /etc/securetty or having root disabled?)

-*-*-*-*-

is "Confirm logout" option working properly to you, brave testers? here it isn't.
