Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

Not sure if this will help, but have you logged out then back in. I couldn't log back into a couple of sites that need passwords until I done that.

I updated KDE from console and then restarted box. I tried to logout/login few times.

Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

I can confirm this. But battery status is shown correctly in kcontrol; only the taskbar applet does not appear.

I filed a bug report: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7232

If you have more information about this issue please add it.

Pierre: filing a bug you would get assigned to yourself isn't that helpfull. better get in contact with kde develeopers and their bugtracker

Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

I have created a dumb n quick patch for this issue that simply reverts klaptopdaemon back to 3.5.6...

It works so far but i havent tested it that much... Take a look into the PKGBUILD how to apply it, and dont forget to rebuild makefiles with make -f admin/Makefile.common

Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

Would you happen to know if the resulting package safe to force upon vanilla KDE 3.5.7?  I get the feeling it won't appreciate my lack of the kdemod dependencies on my system.

If not, I can just as easily hold off until there's a revision update with it patched.

Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

No, dont force the package and dont use the PKGBUILD, just rebuild vanilla kdeutils with the patch applied... You can see how its done when you take a look into the PKGBUILD...

Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

I also am getting the xmms-dynamic patch error from above.  I was wondering if anyone found a solution to that?

Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

solution is quite simple (I reported only script error)
it should be
kdeutils-3.5.7-xmms-dynamic.patch
not
xmms-dynamic.patch

you can download this from kde ftp server

hope this will help

Re: kde 3.5.7 update no more battery monitor

I should have thought of that, must have been too late at night.  I'll edit my pkgbuild and see what happens.
