The KDE Thread - 3.2.1 is out!

robfish · Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2004 10:51 pm Post subject:

My mirror still has kde 3.2 masked but I did download the ebuilds OK with
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -f kde

Is it OK now to do
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge kde
or do I have to wait until it is unmasked on my mirror?

does anyone else get this:

An internal Kopete error occurred while parsing a message:
XSL document could not be parsed!

when sending a msn message in the KDE 3.2 integrated kopete?

I did get those in RC1 when people sent me language specific letters.. what language are you using in kde.. You should file a bug report on bugs.kde.org

I got that when 3.2 copied my 3.1 settings. Try going into the settings and choosing a new theme for your message windows (that worked when I tried it, although I've since deleted all settings, because some copied settings were causing trouble).

I have another Kopete question, though.

Most of the time when I try to log in to my AIM account, it logs in and logs out very quickly. Sometimes it stays logged in, but most times it just immediately logs out. And even when it stays logged in, it often logs out after a little while without my prompting.

No one else seems to be having AIM problems around here so I assume it's the new Kopete (although I haven't installed gaim to check or anything). Is anyone else having problems like this? It's quite annoying.

Also, the password entry dialog seems borked. It only seems to accept a certain number of letters, which is less than the number of letters in my password.

I had to manually edit the wallet to make it work.

Whew, seems a little buggy. Sorry for the long post.

it appears that Kopete is indeed still using old settings. Pointing a new message window sheme solved the problem.

The other good news: I was able to build kdegraphics (ktron problem) using the patched provided on the bugzilla page:

Patches on the bug tracker fixed up kdegames for me. I have a full 3.2.0 setup now... very damned slick.

Lucho[FLCL] · Posted: Thu Feb 05, 2004 12:17 am Post subject: ...I'm pissed

I compiled KDE 3.2 yesterday (20 hours in my machine...). I had a bad experience with it.
First, let's talk about performance. I didn't see much difference comparing it with 3.1.4 (and I'm comfortable with it...or was...). The bigger difference I saw was when I started Konqueror, but it probably has one instance preloaded or something like that.

Now to the problems. The problem I had is that I don't have antialiased fonts in any qt application anymore. And it looks like sh*t!!!!

For example, licq
The fonts look fine in the taskbar, window titles, etc
So, I started XFCE4 and started licq and it's still borked...

Anothe curious thing is that kde 3.1.4 wasn't unmerged!!! So, I started it instead of 3.2....but it has the same problems....

I double checked the "antialiased fonts" Settings in Control Center....re-started KDE.....but it's the same....

So, I'm gonna unmerge qt, kdelibs and kde and emerge it again....I'd like to hear your opinions: do I try to install 3.1.5 or 3.2??? 3.2 may work right if I emerge it without 3.1.x installed...and 3.1.5 may be screwed too...

Any similar experiences...??

Oh!!! I forgot to mention that Konsole came with a font that is a sh*t....and when I tried to change it....it was strange....I can't explain it....and in 3.1.4 the font was also changed.... :cry:

I don't really want to look through 11 pages of this thread, but kdegames won't compile. I have rc1 of kdegames up and running, and the rest of the 3.2 packages were fine.

It seems to be going rather well ... been compiling for the past 12 hours (pIII-500 :mrgreen:

) I must say, 2.6.1-mm5 really performs well under this constant heavy cpu load

Anyway, so far I've tested konqueror & kopete from within xfce, no issues. Konqueror seems to be way better than the latest cvs builds I've tried (they were from October though

) I suppose konqueror 3.2 has incorporated most of the Safari improvements?

I've tried KDE at one of my friends house, seems very responsive compared to KDE 3.1, konqueror almost loaded instantly on his computer. I would try out KDE 3.2 but I just hate the long compile time.

hey, any of you knows why all the transparencies from super-karamba and gdesklets don't match with the background?

I mean the image seen in the karamba theme don't "exactly" match the desktop, but another portion of it (slightly moved).

Thanks!

Fantastic! I fixed my problem, and just thought I would share it with you in case anyone else gets it.

Kdegraphics was failing to compile ksvg, specifically libtext2path. It was having troubles with the freetype headers. Throwing up such classics as:

Hey guys... I wanna try kde 3.2.0, but I can't seem to get emerge to do it...

I just did an emerge sync, so I should be up to date.. I look in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask, there are no kde lines in there at all.. But when I try to do an emerge:

@garion911,
just guessing, but you don't have anything in /etc/portage/package.mask do you?
as a workaround for direct emerging try this (with appropriate paths):
