Shaman don't work since kde 4.1.2 update. Can you help me ?

Thank you

is there any error messages when you start it from the command line?

moustic · 2008-10-11 13:41:32

none ...

I have been running it with kdesu for a while. I know I shouldn't, but it just didn't run any other way.

Hmmm... we had a problem with shaman not liking some qt/gtk theme before. Can someone report this as a bug to the shaman developers on their site.

Shaman only works if I try to open it as root. As a normal user it does not open and does not output any message.

Can you check if that happens to you too?

If i run shaman as root, this happens:

No protocol specified
shaman: cannot connect to X server :0.0

Run as normal user, nothing happens,

I'm having the same problem, shaman won't start as normal user. If i run it as root it starts fine though

I am trying to find a reason but this one is weird... I am trying to check permissions to shared libraries, but no luck yet.

answer from one of users:

mv .config/Trolltech.conf .config/Trolltech.conf-back

it works on my machine :-)

Wow cool, this helps here, too!! Great!
And I also noticed: As long as I'm using "Oxygen" as GUI Style in qtconfig shaman won't start. But when I switch to "QtCurve" as GUI Style, it will start immediately...

I can also confirm the solution below:

mv .config/Trolltech.conf .config/Trolltech.conf-back

Who found that? How? That was.... brilliant.

The drawback is that now Qt 4 apps do not follow KDE fonts and themes.

I just realized this, but in that case I prefer not working shaman then all Qt4 apps without proper settings

I've tried doing the following thing:

sudo pacman -Rd qt
sudo pacman -S qtmod

after installing qtmod instead of qt, shaman works like a charm with oxygen style etc. It looks like there is something missing/bugged in Arch's Qt package
