This is great news.  Apart from screen brightness, everything works.

That is going to be a problem for all laptops where xbacklight does not work, that is most laptops using the nvidia blob.
Safest solution: use hal until it is fixed. I think gnome-power-manager uses the same method.

You could just add the edited file to the relevant package I suppose, but that might not be the arch way(tm).

No problem!

The info I posted  works as it should without any problems.
However drf has implemented a nicer solution statically loading the backends in trunk. That is why the patch must be "heavier" than a simple change in the .desktop file. big_smile

I think this is the commit implementing this:

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.6

@tuxador
I read that post time ago, but that's a kernel option and I can't do anything (and I know nothing about).

Feature request opened at https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/21969
EDIT: Well, has been rejected and if you read the comments you understand why. The wiki page has been updated anyway.
BTW, beta2 tagged; release day is 7th!

I just updated and it looks like it erased my  /usr/share/kde4/services/powerdevilupowerbackend.desktop

Was that intentional?

Edit:

I'm also getting:"No valid Power Management backend plugins are available. A new installation might solve this problem." on start up.  Re-installed kdebase-workspace, but no change.

This is the release schedule. Beta 2 is tagged, but not yet released. You can however install it from SVN AFAIK.

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.6

do I really need all of these repos?

[kde-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[testing]
## Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[core]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[extra]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community-testing]
## Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

[community]
# Add your preferred servers here, they will be used first
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist

The reason for asking is that my kmail2 sucks horribly. To an extent that I'm thinking I fucked up something pretty seriously (I guess if *noone* was able to delete mails from kmail2, I would have heard about it). Besides, I vaguely remember not using that many repo's when I tested KDESC 4.5 beta. My mirrors are the following, maybe they have gone bad?

Server = http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
Server = http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
Server = ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/archlinux/$repo/os/i686
Server = ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/archlinux/kde-unstable/

I tried re-installing kde, but maybe not in the right way (still trying to find my way through pacman after having used apt-get for many a year). How would I go on about removing KDESC and installing it again? I tried finding the one lib to rule them all (taking down all of KDESC if removed), but couldn't find it. How do I remove KDESC for good? What's the best metapackage to install afterwards?

Best regards,
Rufus D

I don't use kmail so I cannot be sure but have you tried installing the old version either from source or using a package stored in cache.

ls -A /var/cache/pacman/pkg | grep kmail

will tell you if you have any kmail in cache and if so you can always use pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/kmail-version (use tab completion to find the package)

If you want to uninstall kde

pacman -Rnsu kde

and then

pacman -S kde

to reinstall.

If you want to roll back to stable kde then edit /etc/pacman.conf and comment [kde-unstable] and maybe [testing] and then run

pacman -Syyuu

which will manually refresh your repos and roll back

I've been running HAL-less for a couple of days (Like, 4 days or so) without any trouble. Though, the battery applet fails to read the charge some times, but this usually fixes itself after a suspend-resume.

E: I'm suspending by using pm-utils though, and not by upower.

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.6

k3b depends on HAL, it isn't a part of the "software distribution" , juste a "cousin" or sometihng like that, (like amarok)
i hope je k3b team will remove this dependency, it's almost the last thing hal-related.
i have the power-managment issue too, when i check solid,there is only hal in the  power mamagement item. i dont know how to switch to upower.
the applet shows correctly the battery-status but when i switch between different profiles ( performance, powersave) i dont notice any difference in the screen brithness for example

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.6

I have opened a bug to have the GStreamer backend split from libcanberra since that adds gstreamer -dependencies on kdebase-runtime. You can use the PKGBUILD attached on the report and files from ABS/svn to build a gstreamer-free libcanberra.

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.6

I have a windows7 partition not mounted in fstab and it comes up in dolphin but I cant mount it as I always done in the past , dolphin throws a permission error for udisks. It used to work with hal (Im hal free now)
Has anybody a clue about this? Am I missing something in udisks , polkit or other configuration?
thanks

Re: [kde-unstable] KDE 4.6

1. It's not the kde-snapshot thread here, it's for the semi-official [kde-unstable]

2. HAL-less KDE 4.6 is still a pain, unless they fix it soon. Dolphin is very slow with Udisks enabled.
