Re: KDE Applications 14.12 repo

Ok, so I originally used the links in the main post to get to versions that said "5.1.95-1".

Since these are apparently now disabled, what do I need to do to keep upgrading?

What I've tried is going and enabling the testing repo, and updating, but it seems to want to pull in kdebase-workspace which is conflicting all over the place. I've tried installing kf5, kf5-aids and plasma-next, but it just wants to downgrade from version "5.1.95-1" to "5.1.2-1".

Obviously something doesn't seem quite right to me, so exactly what do i need to do? For the most part this can be used as a testing laptop, so if need be, I can probably remove KDE and completely reinstall, but even then, I wouldn't know what repo to enable, or what to enter exactly.

Help?

Sadly gwenview doesnt't show the kipi plugins menu anymore. Luckily digikam still has it.

The links are not disabled. You're in the wrong thread, this is about KDE applications 14.12, not about Plasma 5.2 beta.

Re: KDE Applications 14.12 repo

This update is on hold for me.  My systems are old installs so they don't have btrfs / and snapper so I can't do any rollbacks.  I feel sorry for the KDE users who upgraded to a POC release.  The plasma5 apps should have remained in the testing repo for some time.

# modified /etc/pacman.conf

Don't feel sorry for me, I'm an Arch user. I know, that we will move forward KDE.

The plasma5 apps

you mean KF5

Re: KDE Applications 14.12 repo

PS: Just realized that Dolphin doesn't show my places/folder shortcuts. They are still existent in a Plasmoid but Dolphin doesn't show them.

this happened to me too - but not immediately after update; maybe because of uninstalling all the konsole-stuff and reinstalling it in coment #143 ?!
Whatever ... New created places are stable; and I wasn't able to reproduce the problem today at work on my computer there ...

Re: KDE Applications 14.12 repo

Opened a bug about the file types: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/43817

The relevant part to make file types in KDE work after installing KDE 5 applications (this is for kate, kwrite, gwenview only other KDE 5 applications might need other settings):

In $HOME/.local/share/applications/mimetypes.list:
Replace 'kde4-kwrite.desktop' with 'org.kde.kwrite.desktop'
Replace 'kde4-kate.desktop' with 'org.kde.kate.desktop'
Replace 'kde4-gwenview.desktop' with 'gwenview.desktop'

Reconfigure all shortcuts to start applications (reassign).

Logout and login.

EDIT: changed org.kde.gwenview.desktop to gwenview.desktop

Re: KDE Applications 14.12 repo

Another problem: Gwenview 5.0 can no longer open .psd files (and many others).

Loading ‘Systemet Grund med hover-flikar.psd’ failed
Gwenview cannot display documents of type image/vnd.adobe.photoshop.

Fix: install kimageformats.

pacman -S kimageformats

Re: KDE Applications 14.12 repo

I want to jump in and test the new Plasma, Frameworks & Applications, but I'm still very confused. How do we get a "full" experience with the the Plasma, Frameworks and Applications?

The wiki mentions the Plasma meta packages, so I'm assuming that part is covered. I "think" the Frameworks relevant packages are pulled in only if an Application requires them (please correct me if I am wrong!). And I have no idea how to install the latest 14.12 Applications...

Any help to understand how these are structured would be awesome.

Re: KDE Applications 14.12 repo

Applications are in the "kde" group. Right now you can't install everything in plasma 5, as some of them still depend on kdebase-workspace, so you have to manually install what you want. We're trying to improve this for 15.04

Ah, gotcha. Was I right about Frameworks, that we don't have to explicitly install them?

You don't have to afaik, but if you want to: kf5 and kf5-aids

Is it possible to create a kde-5 group with packages that won't conflict with plasma 5? Or, alternatively: Is it possible to install all non-conflicting packages from a group, ie. skipping the others?
