[SOLVED] Problems trying to reinstall arch-kdemod

7etc/ · 2010-09-12 12:26:49

Hello to everyone. This is my problem. I´m trying to do a new and clean installation for my arch-kdemod system-. Everything is fine until i begin with kdemod. Since I have done other times, I write pacman -S kdemod-minimal, but pacman says that to install it needs the libxxf86misc dependece. I´ve read this dependence doesn´t exist, so how can I install kdemod? I´ve been looking for a solution in xorg, kdemod and other pages (and all google) with no results. Can you help me? I can´t find a solution by myself.
Thanks

you shouldn't use kdemod.

for a minimal kde environment

pacman -S kdebase

then install only what you want.

pacman -Sg | grep ^kde and pacman -Sg <insert group> to found the kde applications/modules

Thanks for your help. I´ve done what you say, and it looks fine, but some groups continue with the libxxf86misc dependence and I can´t install it. When I try to reboot the system, it opens on level 3 (i´ve created the .xinitrc, modified inittab...). Why has become kdemod so difficult? I´ve done others clean installations without this type of problems.

End of the road in sight for KDEmod

They say that "KDEmod will be fully supported until the release of KDE 4.6. The day of that release will be the end of KDEmod." but it seems it is already unsupported. Switch to Arch KDE

the missing libxxf86misc can't be possible if you use only archlinux repositories. maybe you want to check the mirror to see if is up to date[1] and do pacman -Syu

thanks once again. My repositories are up to date, I´ve done -Syu and the system is ok.In /etc/pacman.conf, i have two kdemod repositories (kdemod-core) and (kdemod-extragear). That´s making me going crazy....I don´t know what to do. I,ve been using arch-kdemod for one year, but now i can,t understand what happens.

kdemod is dead
erase kdemod repositories from /etc/pacman.conf and use only ArchLinux official repos

Also, libxxf86misc is in AUR.

is not needed. KDEMOD maintainers NEED TO FIX their stuff.

hi all. I query the package in the following page.
http://chakra-project.org/packages/inde … bxxf86misc

The package was moved to different directory: platform
thus, i got the package by adding the following 3 lines into /etc/pacman.conf

[platform]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/platform/i686

by the way, there are two directories in http://chakra-project.org/repo: desktop, apps
I also added these two directories.

[desktop]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/desktop/i686

[apps]
Server=http://chakra-project.org/repo/apps/i686

Arch Linux
