KDE SC 4.4.0 released

Tyriel · 2010-02-09 16:21:03

Just wanted to confirm I successfully installed and am running KDE 4.4 on my 64bit setup.

On my 32bit setup it tells me I am missing the following files:

akonadi-1.3.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
libv41-0.6.4-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Hope you find that information useful and keep up the great work guys.

Same here: KDE 4.4 installed and running on x86_64, on the day of its release, from the official repositories. Thanks for making this happen. Arch linux: nothing else comes even close.

There is nothing we an do about this right now. Just wait until your mirror is fully synced.

Phonon has been part of Qt until recently. You obviously need to upgrade the Qt package and install phonon as prerequisites (no idea why pacman does not solve this by its own).

I will nontheless have to wait for my mirrors sync until I can try myself.

I tried what has been listed here already, but it didn't help. So I tried just:

pacman -S qt

which told me the same error:

uplay: needs phonon

What can I do?

bernarcher · 2010-02-09 17:27:45

Allright, just upgraded successfully.

It appears that a prior

pacman -Sy --asdeps qt

to force the qt-4.6.1-1 update also solves the phonon problem. The phonon 4.3.80-2 package has afterwards been pulled in automatically as a new kdelibs dependency.

Installed KDE 4.4. I had to remove aurorae engine, ktoon and qhwdetect which I installed from AUR. I reinstalled aurorae without problems. I guess I could reinstall ktoon and qhwdetect as well, but I haven't used them, so I probably won't. Otherwise, a smooth install and it works great so far!

It's a bit of a bummer that Kwin tabbing only works with the Oxygen theme. Love tabbing from the Fluxbox days but not a fan of Oxygen.

Thanks to all involved! You made my day

Just to say that if someone has this problem :

:: Starting full system upgrade...
:: Replace kdelibs-experimental with extra/kdelibs? [Y/n]
:: Replace kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager with extra/kdeplasma-applets-networkmanagement? [Y/n]
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: kde-meta-kdepim: requires kdepim-akonadiconsole

You simply need to remove kde-meta-kdepim wich is simply a meta package (nothing is actualy removed) to get the update working :

sudo pacman -R kde-meta-kdepim

Pierre · 2010-02-09 17:53:05

Did not know about kde-meta-pim. Maybe you can solve this problem like the one with phonon/qt. Try pacman -Sy kde-meta-kdepim or pacman -Sy kdepim-akonadiconsole before -Syu.

OMG... I am so silly person... I just did:

pacman -Sy --asdeps qt phonon

An everything was OK... This is impossible... I am always doing so silly mistakes... Thank you very much .-) Now I am waiting for the end of a CD downloading from Jamendo and after, I will go on, so I hope, that I will NOT be so silly again :-)

updated to 4.4 perfectly here. great work!

i'm assuming you mean that you grabbed it from aur. but aurorae is part of kde sc 4.4. any particular reason you reinstalled it?

That's great :-) Is it more stable and fast than 4.3 ?

Phonon in repo is 4.3.80. This makes me think it`s a RC or something.
I marked the package "out of date", not sure if it`s ok to update now.

It's not out-of-date. It's the last version they released, maybe they will release another one (as akonadi and soprano), but ATM is the latest.

toflames · 2010-02-09 18:43:38

I just upgraded to 4.4 but I cannot use nepomuk, I got this error in knotify :
"nepomuk was not able to find the configured database backend 'sesame2'. Existing data can thus not be "
I've deleted the directories as specified in the announcement.
Does someone have the same problem?

Edit : posted too fast, removing the file .kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc did it

@toflames. Post #1 at the bottom mentions something about nepomuk. Does that apply to you?

kdepim-akonadiconsole was in the repository I'm using but there was some dependency pacman couldn't satisfy.

I had to remove kde-meta-kdepimm, make the upgrade, and then reinstall it again.

Hey Guys, what mirror r u using? I'm eager to check kde 4.4 out and I'm trying not to use ftp.archlinux.org.

thanks

Look here, I am using a repo from Germany, but it is so far from you, so try to choose from these :-)

Gotta love Germany.

Server = http://archlinux.limun.org/$repo/os/x86_64

Tried all different ones: USA, Canada, Brazil, Australia... The first one in Germany did the job.

Thanks Staerseus.

it works perfectly. why install and maintain a separate application (and one that's not even in the official repositories) when you can use the default one?

Staerseus · 2010-02-09 20:07:33

@milasch: You're welcome :-)

@anti-destin: I am really looking forward when the download will be finished...:-) But I have connection from the middle ages, so maybe in the morning :-)

Btw, I am using the same repo .-)

bananaoomarang · 2010-02-09 20:47:43

hmmm I upgraded but sound and pressing restart and shutdown aren't working. I have tried deleting .kde4 in /home/user

Finished upgrading. So far everything is working good, although I'm using freenx remote desktop.

Samuel from beteigeuze · 2010-02-09 22:07:13

I can download all packages successfully from my mirror (cvut.cz) but after checking conflicts, pacman says that there is a conflict with kdelibs; the file /usr/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindKDevPlatform.cmake exists in filesystem. This is owned by (pacman -Qo) kdevplatform 0.9.97-2. What can I do to resolve this conflict? Is it safe to delete the file? Of course it would be perfect if KDevelop worked after the update :-)

Edit: I uninstalled the packages kdevelop and kdevplatform and updated KDE SC. Later I'll try to reinstall the two packages, but at first, I have to sleep a bit ;-)

I checked several mirrors, and I cannot find one that has all of the packages. I am in the USA, does anyone know of a USA mirror that has worked for them?
