Oh No! How can I configure it? Screen resolution, desktop icons, multiple desktops and many others?

plasma _is_ your desktop. I don't see how you can run KDE without it.

Oh No! How can I configure it? Screen resolution, desktop icons, multiple desktops and many others?

i think that many options are missing because kde4(and plasma) are under dev

I hoping that you are right. It is an RC2. 11 of January 2008 isn't so far anymore...

Re: [REPO] kde4 4.0/amarok2/koffice2

Yay! Everything works.

I have:
* removed kdemod
* included testing in pacman.conf and done -Syu
* rebooted

Kwallet seems to work, kopete works, but SSL is somewhat broken (need to be investigated).

Alt+f2 works.

KDE4 looks promissing now, so I will try to use it as my main desktop for a while.

I have found systemsetings but it seems poor. I can't find many options like screen resolution e.t.c.

yesterday use for a full day kde4, and think that when come back to kde3 miss a litle kde4, the new kwin, see some mockups of the desktop(plasma) and then see my desktop an feels like the dream become real(still some things are missing of course), sometimes plasma fails but only kill it and start agin and solved. The desktop load really fast, in kde3 kopete take a long time to start but until kde4 is almost inmediately, juk fails often, so use amarok-svn or mp3blaster. really feels kde4 is getting better and better

Re: [REPO] kde4 4.0/amarok2/koffice2

Last night i after an upgrade (pacman -Syu) from kde3 and restart to kde4 i could run kopete normally.
But today i have the same error. Also i'm having problems with konqueror and cookies, but i realised that it's not konqueror's fault but it's kded4's. For some reason it crashes. When i navigate to systemsettings->Advanced->Service Manager i see many services "not running" KDED Global Shorcuts Server, KDED Cookie Jar Module, KDED Password Module (maybe that has to do with the crash of kwalletmanager???) etc.

For the Startup Services there is a Start/Stop button, but for Load-on demand services there isn't. I guess they load when needed, but it seems they don't load at all. Does anyone know how to enable those services;

Re: [REPO] kde4 4.0/amarok2/koffice2

Ok, i found my mistake about kopete. For some reason i had kdenetwork4-729576-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz installed instead of kdenetwork4-3.97.0-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Hah!
The same mistake was causing kded4 to crash.

kded4: symbol lookup error: /opt/kde4/lib/kde4/kded_dnssdwatcher.so: undefined symbol: _ZN10KDEDModuleC2Ev

Now the shorcuts are working Alt+F2, Alt+Tab, etc etc :-)

I have installed kdemod to. Should i remove it bevor uprgade to kde4?

@Patrick: Enable community in /etc/pacman.conf and sync again.

I allready enabled the community repo.

Re: [REPO] kde4 4.0/amarok2/koffice2

Seems like this is the last release before the final product. Which means that my work here is done. The next release you see concerning KDE4 and Arch will come from the devs themselves. I'll keep my repo available until the final product is out. Hope you enjoyed it.

Maybe you should join the KDEmod team...

Not wanting to look stupid, but how do we get it?? 

And Tardo, thanks for a job really well done!  How did your exam go?

Re: [REPO] kde4 4.0/amarok2/koffice2

OK. I started to rebuild kdelibs4 and got an undefined symbol while it was generating kdewidgets.cpp (sorry but the terminal I was using doesn't have a copy/paste facility.

The PKGBUILD is one from a set that tardo provided a while ago, but in case it got changed I have pasted it below. Any ideas anyone???

Re: [REPO] kde4 4.0/amarok2/koffice2

you're probably linking against an old library. update your system and remove any old kdelibs4 pkg before compiling.

not sure what you are using but if you ask if the 3.97 versions in tardo's repo are the rc2 versions, then yes

Use the pkgbuilds in one of my previous post. Just change pkgver=3.96 to 3.97, remove the src dir and run makepkg. Nothing else changed.

Re: [REPO] kde4 4.0/amarok2/koffice2

I rebuilt kde4libs, kde4pimlibs and kde4base (in that order). Now when I try to re-start kde4, it tells me it can't find kstartupconfig4. Any ideas what causes this?
