kdemod - a lightified and modular KDE + additional patches

funkyou · 2007-05-09 22:12:48

Works fine here with

kdemod-kdepim-kontact 3.5.6-1
kdemod-kdepim-akregator 3.5.6-2

from /current and having the few /testing packages also installed...

edit: It should also work with /current only... The testing packages are just for testing out some stuff, mostly the new compiler flags. I am also thinking about making the whole artwork stuff optional and provide just a standard and plain KDE without any further artwork with 3.5.7...

Another idea is to drop qt-enhanced, but this would break the following stuff:
- Enhanced Xinerama support
- The translucent selection rectangle
- Superkaramba without xmms dependency

Any opinions on this?

Stupid question.. i used my old profile after switching to kdemod some months ago, how do i enable that translucent selection rectangle?

ErikTheRed · 2007-05-10 01:17:28

I'm trying to install kdemod from a base, console install of arch. I follow the directions on the kdemod site, but I'm getting this error when I pacman -S kdemod

error: cannot resolve dependencies for "kdemod-kde-common":
"kdemod-artwork" is not in the package set

I'm very new to arch and pacman, so any help would be much appreciated.

Edit: After snooping around it looks like the problem is with the package being named "kdemod-kdeartwork" in the repo whereas it is looking for "kdemod-artwork"

I'm guessing I need to wait for someone to fix this?

Kcontrol --> Look and Feel --> Style --> Effects --> Rubberband effect

(it needs composite to be enabled for smoothness)

Its fixed now...

I would leave it like it is now. The translucent selection rectangle is me favorite feature

I can't run basket after last kdemod update:

basket: error while loading shared libraries: libaudio.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks funkyou it solved problem

Now I have to investigate why nas was removed in last update

I have same problems here: No sound in KDE and applications.
artsd won't start and applications have a missing library libaudio.so.2
I found that this comes from the last kdemod-arts update (1.5.6-1 -> 1.5.6-2)

With 1.5.6-2:
[root@tuxlap ~]# ldd /opt/kde/bin/artsd | grep audio
libaudiofile.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0 (0xb7d17000)
libaudio.so.2 => not found
libaudio.so.2 => not found
libaudio.so.2 => not found
libaudio.so.2 => not found
libaudio.so.2 => not found

With 1.5.6-1:
[root@tuxlap ~]# ldd /opt/kde/bin/artsd | grep audio
libaudiofile.so.0 => /usr/lib/libaudiofile.so.0 (0xb7d54000)

If libaudio.s0.2 is provided by nas then you should make a "depend nas" in the package.
Or don't link against this libraries. (Why i must have nas now?)
When i downgrade to 1.5.6-1 all went fine.

Bye
Gerhard

I was reading this:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gru … e_examples

and was wondering if it possible to make the "restart and boot another operating system" option in the kick-off menu work
since KDM can do it, KDEMOD with Kickoff should be able to do it!

by using the command "grub-set-default" one can change the default operating system
is it possible to make kick-off work with grub-set-default ??

here's some reading:
http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual … 02ddefault

and there is this wiki entry here:
http://sidvind.com/wiki/GRUB:_Boot_another_OS_once
which gives some info that might be better than grub-set-default

if someone could tell me how to edit the entries in the kick-off menu I'll be glad to try these things out

A question: What is the KDE scanning application?
Is "Kooka" deprecated ?

New Kooka Version: 0.44
May 4, 2004

Should I use xsane now?

CipherPaladin · 2007-05-10 14:04:35

Hi all,

I have a clean install of Archlinux...

After pacman has d/l'ed the kdemod packages...etc I get a conflicts error (may contain typos ):

checking for file conflicts...
error: the following file conflicts were found:
opt/kde/share/config/kongsidebartng.rc: exists in "kdemod-kde-common" (target) & "kdemod-kdebase" (target)

errors occured, no packages were upgraded.

I try to

pacman -S kdemod

again but just get the same error (no downloads, just a confirmation that I want to download it I type "y" & the it goes to the checking conflicts & throws this error!)

Any advice here... should I remove the kdemod via

pacman -R kdemod

? & try again?

TIA

As Dunkelstern is put a bit work into strigi integration for kickoff, he should know the source of it quite well... I dont know how far he has come with it but i'll ask him about the grub stuff when he`s back online again...

sH,
kooka is the standard KDe scanning app and it works good for me, just install it

CipherPaladin,
ther is some small breakage with kde-common, i am working on it... For now, just install kdemod with the --force option, that should work...

sH I have both kooka and xsane
I installed them both about 20-25 days ago, I suggest you give both a try if you are afraid of kooka not being supported anymore

funkyou thnx for caring

I have had to downgrade kdemod-arts to 1.5.6-1 and sound is back.
I have got back KWiFiManager too.

funkyou · 2007-05-10 22:27:28

Apart from this issue (which will be fixed), i cant understand why people still use arts - its totally deprecated & slow and also the reason for many errors...

A better alternative (if you want to have kde sounds without arts) is to disable arts and set an external app like play or ogg123 in kcontrol...

Thanks, funkyou. Works great, but you should update:

http://kdemod.ath.cx/features.html#packages

because I thought kooka does not exist as a package and didn't Pacman -Ss it.

I hate to be annoying, but I did not get an answer concerning the problem with Kopete I have. To elaborate a wee bit (if possible):

Since three days now, Kopete is working fine, but upon a new message being received, the task bar element is not notifying me anymore - it shows no reaction. I tried to reinstall an older version of Kopete without success as well as deleting the Kopete configuration files from ~/.kde/share. Neither way worked so I'm sorry to say that I believe one of the packages being at fault.

I would like the KDEmod and Kopete users to inform me, if it's working for them. If it's okay with them, the problem lies with my machine and I'll try to solve it in a different way. Please indicate the version number of Kopete you are using (for me it's kdemod-kdenetwork-kopete-3.5.6-8).

Thanks in advance for every single KDEmod user helping me out with information.

Greetings, ~cg

My kcontrol crashes when I set a keyboard-shortcut for Kcalc.
I can always reproduce this.
Worked under kubuntu, is this a kdemod-bug? Or is it a problem with my box/keyboard?

cheers

funkyou · 2007-05-11 21:44:28

chaosgeisterchen,
it works perfectly here, did you change some notification settings either in kopete or kcontrol? The last updates only changed the jingle stuff, so i doubt that it has something to do with them...

sH,
i just tested it and it also works perfectly here... Please, when you experience such stuff, start the app from a terminal and provide us the error message so we can take a look...

chaosgeisterchen · 2007-05-11 21:51:28

Thanks for the reply, funkyou.

In fact I did not change anything concerning Kopete itself. The checkbox for the notification is activated. Are there any related configs to be taken in KControl? I do not know about all of them so you might tell me where I could look concerning this matter. It's more or less driving me nuts constantly missing the new messages I receive.

Thanks in advance,

~cg

funkyou · 2007-05-11 22:02:35

And a big update...

Over the last days i worked on a cleanup-branch (qdlaty, svn will be updated soon ) and recompiled every package, so dont wonder if this download is somewhat bigger...

No big changes except that there are now some more aggressive compiler flags used which should make it run a little bit faster, especially for those of you who have a Core2Duo or P4 Prescott under their desk... There are also a lot of cleanups in the PKGBUILDs, so i hope that this is the last one before 3.5.7 ...

known issues:

- arts seems to depend on nas now, and i dont know why. I even hadnt nas installed when compiling... If you get some errors about libaudio.so.2 or something, just install nas...
- the kdm config will be overwritten, i forgot about this but i think you will survive it

please report any glitches...

Unfortunately this is nothing more than

KCrash: Application 'kcontrol' crashing...

Only thing I can provide you with is this:

http://pastebin.archlinux.org/2953

kmenuedit has similar issues. It crashes even when I do nothing. I open kmenuedit, close it, crash.

edit : got the new big upgrade, works again

That was a really big update, funkyou, but it proceeded flawlessly.

The problem concerning Kopete vanished after the update. Now I'm notified again, as it should have ever been. Thanks for the update - great job.
