You need:
xclock
xorg-twm

taurus321 · 2006-08-11 09:40:28

i try that :
pacman -S xclock
pacman -S xorg-twn
but , output show that :
not found in sync db

Maybe is alltraxclock2 0.2-1 correct.

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but did you do

pacman -Sy kde

That will install all KDE and dependencies. Try that and then in your /etc/rc..conf file add kdm to the end of the DAEMONS line.

colnago · 2006-08-11 17:22:46

...also, check the module path in your xorg.conf.

Snowman · 2006-08-11 19:36:29

To fix the Failed to load module "glx" error:
pacman -S libgl-dri
You don't need to install xclock and xorg-twm. You get these error because you haven't configured your ~/.xinitrc file. Install kde (pacman -S kde) and put:
exec startkde
in ~/.xinitrc if you want to start kde with startx. You'll first need to logout/relogin for that to work. Or follow ralvez's advice if you want to use kdm.

taurus321 · 2006-08-12 00:10:37

thanks ,thanks everybody. and i try with Snowman's method . pacman -S libgl-dri , the "failed to load module glx" errorr ,is resolve , i am very happy, but i don't know libgl-dri package's functions .is anybody tell me now.

i have another question. my friend tell me that , pacman -Sy kdebase , the kdebase package include the kdm sub-package .is it really? and if only install the kdebase package and configured .xinitrc file ,i can start the kde ?

ralvez · 2006-08-12 00:13:19

You need pacman -S kde in order to get KDE to work, the base is not enough to get you going.

detto · 2006-08-12 01:06:53

Sure its enough to get him going! *BUMP*

U need 'kdebase' which contains just the base from kde, with some apps like kwrite, konsole, and stuff. and kdm of course.
language packs are called kde-i18n-de (for german for example, just switch the de if necessary).
a "pacman -S kde" wil install ALL kde things, like dothands of programs from, becasue u install kdenetwork, kdepim, and all the other things.

ralvez · 2006-08-12 01:21:48

detto, the way I understand it is that kdebase is just that: the basic kde environment, but ... (there is always a but somewhere) a lot of the functionality of KDE is spread on the other KDE components.
So there yo have it, the base is not enough !! That's my story and I'm sticking to it. 8)

detto · 2006-08-12 01:27:47

Ok, idd thats true. Functionality is splitte up, and installing all kde packages, or lets say simpler: doing a 'pacman -S kde' is the way to get a fullfunctional kde desktop with things as volume control and stuff like that. Menu clearing is another story then

taurus321 · 2006-08-12 02:33:31

thanks everyone . kde install is okay now .
next step is to set the kde for start with the os start. i will try it . if i have problem, i will ask everybody

taurus321 · 2006-08-13 09:18:24

is it i don't to install the scim or i don't install the font.
in this time .i don't understand the "kde-i18n-zh_cn" package,and "scim " package and "font" packages' function .
please help me!

When uve got the kde-i18n-* package installed u can select ur language settings in the Control Center from KDE.
Also check if uve got ur locales set, take a look here http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Configuring_locales It's just uncommenting and running locale-gen
Scim i dont myself what this is exactly, never needed myself but heres a wiki entry anyway that might come in handy imo http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sma … d_platform

cheers,
