 Posted: Sun Jul 09, 2006 7:48 pm Post subject: Kopete and Default themes |
 |
|
This is a fairly simple (I hope) question: How would I remove the default themes for kopete? Some of them I know I will never use, and don't see why it should be there, and hence want to know how to remove them permanently (if I want them back, I'll re-emerge kopete).

rm -rf /usr/share/apps/kopete/styles/<stupid skin name>
Running equery f packagename will list the files that a package provides so it is usually a good place to start looking for such questions.
EDIT: If you aren't using net-im/kopete (the newer version thats not tied to the KDE version) then it might be under /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kopete/styles if not try the equery f trick and look for files related to styles. |

I didn't know about that version, actually. I'll look into it and see what all it does o.o
Hmm, not supported, and I'm not a big on on unmasking packages...

Actually its not masked it is using the unstable keyword. It provides some better styles, jingle support (Google Talk VoIP), and some other new things.
echo "net-im/kopete ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
^ that will allow you to emerge it although it requires kde-base/kopete to be unmerged
also equery is a part of the gentoolkit package so you might need to emerge that. |

Well, unstable/masked. Either way I'm skiddish to use it or not. If I could install it once and not reinstall/update it later unless it was stable/unmasked, or I went out of my way to update it, would I want to use it.

Im not sure what your saying exactly, you don't want it to update by itself? you could mask other versions (echo ">net-im/kopete-0.12" >> /etc/portage/package.mask). I haven't had too much problems with unstable software and I run some of the most bleeding edge (ran Xorg 7 back when it was hardmasked, SVN versions of Kopete, KTorrent, and Amarok, and a bunch of other stuff). Either way its your decision though. If you don't use the new version try deleting the right directory from /usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kopete/styles/ (or /usr/kde/3.4/share/apps/kopete/styles/ if you are using KDE 3.4). If you use the net-im/kopete package it is in /usr/share/apps/kopete/styles/. If none of those work try running "equery f kde-base/kopete | grep styles" and that's where the directory is. |

I'm still fairly new to Gentoo, so going into unstable/masked makes me a tad nervous, which I think is understandable.
What I would *like* to do would be to emerge it, but not update net-im/kopete until it is stable (I emerge it now, then when it becomes stable, update it THEN and not until then unless there is a big change). That explain?

well when it becomes stable the only thing that changes is it will be using the x86 keyword instead of the ~x86. In gentoo if a package doesn't get any bug reports for a while it becomes stable. If there is a bug report chances are they will release a revision (first revision would be 0.12-r1 etc) and it would fix that bug. So what you probably want is to only accept revisions and not anything major outside of a few bug fixes. This should do just that:
echo ">=net-im/kopete-0.13" >> /etc/portage/package.mask
if you haven't already make it use the unstable keyword ~x86:
echo "net-im/kopete ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
then you can unmerge the old kopete (since you have to) with
emerge -C kde-base/kopete
and then emerge the new one
emerge net-im/kopete
That should do it. Sorry I though you weren't new to Gentoo since you have had so many postings and I should have explained it a little clearer. |

*points to his sig* Post count doesn't count for everything, hence why I made my sig as it is

Haha I don't usually look at people sigs and yes post counts don't always mean you are not a novice. |
