KDE 3.4 pre packages in TUR tpowa available

tpowa · 2005-01-13 21:21:10

it's only now official
the packages that are in the repo are already beta 1

cmf · 2005-01-14 18:41:08

Tpowa, did you compile KDE 3.4 with a dbus installed which had Qt bindings compiled aswell? If not the media:/ IO slave doesn't use HAL.

Can't test as my box is down for the time being, just curious.

tpowa · 2005-01-15 18:07:24

good news cmf
new kdebase-2 package will have hal support, but i have to wait for dbus 0.23, and then be prepared for hal and new artwork for kde 3.4

colnago · 2005-01-16 02:11:32

Yeah, thanks again for doing this tpowa.

There was a new kdelibs available today. Since reinstalling beta 1 has given me no problems at all.

tpowa · 2005-01-16 08:23:01

@ Peit:
do you run latest pacman? 2.9.5?
there was a problem in pacman with upgrade function.

tpowa · 2005-01-16 11:43:06

Updated kdebase
so new artwork is here and dbus added.
Please don't forget to add dbus to rc.conf daemon's list else you get errors while starting kde.

tpowa · 2005-01-16 12:23:45

with artwork i meant:
new kdm look, new background and new kdesplash.

tpowa · 2005-01-16 12:47:20

kdebase-3.3.91-2 contains the new arch artwork in combination with kdebase-config.

The arch artwork is simple getting awesome !!! Pretty Cool and nice.

Thanks !

I like this new splash image - it looks like a average swedish wood ^^

darkcoder · 2005-01-17 04:27:30

For the Plastik problem many have, in addition to clean /tmp and /var/tmp I have to completely remove all kde programs (/opt/kde) and erase this directory. Somehow a reference or file was still on the system even after following all the cleanup process that was recomended on a prior post.

darkcoder · 2005-01-17 04:56:32

anyone can check if the back.png of the actions icon is included in the size 22x22.

On my system that back icon looks blured (like resized) and when I look the contents of /opt/kde/share/icons/crystalsvg/22x22/actions, the back.png icon is missing.

I know, is not a showstopper, but looks like they forgot it.

tpowa · 2005-01-17 07:05:57

for me the icon looks normal.
it is owned by kdelibs-3.3.91-2, perhaps you need to reinstall kdelibs.
and please run the latest pacman version.
it is 2.9.5 and contains a fix for upgrading packages.
the simplest way to get kde 3.4 running if anything seems to be bugged, use pacman -Rd kde and then pacman -S kde, just deinstall and reinstall kde.

The menu is empty for me with this latest kdebase-3.3.91-2 and kdebase-config-3.3.91-1. Kcontrol is empty too. Removed and reinstalled and still a problem.

The same happend to me , after i installed xfce 4.2 cause for some reason the xfce somehow override the XDG_DATA_DIRS variable .
Remove xfce script (meanwhile) solve the problem, maybe you got the same problem.

colnago · 2005-01-17 17:34:37

Thanks maor, I did install xfce at the same time. I will look into it when i get home.

darkcoder · 2005-01-17 17:56:47

remove kde and reinstall all kde again and it has everything in order.

colnago · 2005-01-17 18:13:36

The suggestion by maor did it for me. No need to reinstall the entire package.

Thank you.

After the update, I had problems checking mail in Kmail. I got "An error occured during authentication: SASL(-4): no mechanism available: No worthy mechs found". Changing authentication method from LOGIN to plain text fixed it though, but I guess that means some encryption-someting-something was not compiled in?

Oh, by the way, eternal wishlist item: Gpg working with Kmail. It is a jungle.

arael · 2005-01-18 11:32:06

I've upgraded kdebase to 3.3.91-2 and installed new kdebase-config. There was no /etc/rc.d/kdm and my kwallet stoped to work properly. Downgrade to kdebase*-1 helped.

Is this another pacman upgrade problem?

tpowa · 2005-01-18 16:30:36

kdm is owned by kdebase-config 3.3.91-1
it should be there don't know why it's not for you.

cascat · 2005-01-19 04:23:13

After upgrading kde according to the various directions given in this thread, I noticed that my hard drive LED stays on almost constantly. When I log out to kdm, the hard drive activity stops, and resumes upon logging in. I renamed my old .kde directory and let a new one be created. No help. Removed dbus from the daemons and rebooted with no success. As I type this post, the drive LED is constantly lit. Is there a setting in kconfig which may cause this activity? This behavior only happens while I am logged in to kde. Any ideas?

colnago · 2005-01-19 06:48:17

famd accesses the disk a lot, but it should be running when you log out of kde also. You could try turning off services in the kde control centre under "kde Components" -> "Service Manager" to see if it is one of those.

tpowa · 2005-01-19 16:30:52

no i cannot verify your problem yet what does the console say when you run juk or kaboodle? any usefull output?
for me it works fine.
thanks

Followup to my previous post:

After checking top, ps -aux, possible kde config settings, fstab, rebooting many times, I could not find what causes kde 3.4beta to constantly access my hard drive while logged in. I use a stock arch setup with no outside packages other than those provided by pacman from current and extra. I removed the kde beta and went back to kde 3.3.2 which solved the hard disk problem.
