 Posted: Thu Sep 15, 2005 1:06 pm Post subject: A few problems. Please help |
 |
|
I have a few problems I'd like to get fixed.
[SOLVED]First one:
KDE programs having trouble reading /.
Many of my apps, including amaroK, Apollon and Kstreamripper give me this message when I run them:
http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/5188/snapshot59sw.jpg
[SOLVED]Second problem: When I wanna compile KDE apps, and do ./configure, I get this error(used amaroK as an example (yes, I am aware that it's in portage)):
| Code: | RazorBlade amarok-1.3.1 # ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c
checking for -p flag to install... yes
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for kde-config... not found
configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.
RazorBlade amarok-1.3.1 # |
[SOLVED]Third: win32codecs. I installed the package, but it looks like Xine can't read them. (Yes, I have set the correct directory) I try running wmv or rm files, and it says that there is no demuxer for it.
I then went to mplayerhq and got the latest all package, and overwrote the files that emerge installed. Nothing happened. Did the same with essential.
It's not a problem with permissions because I also tried unpacking the codecs to /home/dablade/win32 and setting xine-ui to read that, but it helped as much as /dev/null does. Nothing. No other GUIs for Xine can read it either. (Kaffeine, Codeine...)
[SOLVED]Fourth: KOrganizer Alarm Daemon starts on bootup every time, even though I set it to not do that. It's annoying, because it use CPU and ram that I need for other things.
Fifth:
Streamripper says that the stream I'm trying to record isn't a shoutcast stream, but I tried loads of streams I know are shoutcast, and even from shoutcast's homepage, but it still won't read them. Neither will Kstreamripper. AmaroK plays them off just fine.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can give.

FOUR:
I haven't messed with Korganizer for a few years, but it used to be that turning it off on the taskbar wasn't enough. You had to:
1] Korganizer --> Settings --> Configure KOrganizer... --> Personal
2] Uncheck the "Automatically Start Alarm Daemon on Login" box.
3] Click the "Ok" button and exit KOrganizer.

Second:
Make sure that "/usr/kde/3.4/bin" is in your path (replace the "3.4" with your kde version if necessary).
| Code: |
which kde-config
/usr/kde/3.4/bin/kde-config
|
Third:
Installing the package is not enough. In order to use the win32codecs with xine or mplayer you have to make sure the win32codecs useflag is set.
Do "emerge -pv xine-lib" to check the useflags.
| Code: |
emerge -pv xine-lib
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] media-libs/xine-lib-1.0.1-r3 +X +a52 +aac +aalib +alsa (-altivec) +arts -cle266 +directfb +dvd -dxr3 +esd -fbcon +ffmpeg +flac +gnome -i8x0 +ipv6 -libcaca +mad -mng +nls +nvidia +opengl +oss +png +samba +sdl +speex -theora -v4l +vcd -vidix +vorbis +win32codecs -xinerama +xv -xvmc 0 kB

Make sure it says +win32codecs.
By the way, why are you trying to compile amarok by hand? You should use portage wherever possible so the system knows about your installed packages and can prevent conflicts (I accidentially installed two different versions of timidity and vlc once which lead to strange problems  ). |

There is no box saying that.

RazorBlade dablade # which kde-config
which: no kde-config in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
RazorBlade dablade # /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kde-config
RazorBlade dablade # which kde-config
which: no kde-config in (/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin)
RazorBlade dablade #

Doing it now.
EDIT: Done. It worked. Thanks 
Thanks ppl. Mind helping out with the remaining problems?

Well it has been a couple of years. Looks like it has now been moved to the control center. Does this Alarm daemon and KOrganizer alarm client HOWTO help (it's the seventh link down)?

That site didn't help, but it gave me the idea to disable it in the config in ~/.kde/share/config. I'll try it next time I boot and see if it worked.
Thanks anyway.
Anyone else for a good deed?
The remaining issues are #1 & #2.
Thanks in advance.

kde-config is provided by the kdelibs package.
The file itself is located in /usr/kde/3.4/bin/kde-config.

The file doesn't exist.
And I tried recompiling kde-libs. Didn't help..
RazorBlade dablade # /usr/kde/3.4/kde-config
bash: /usr/kde/3.4/kde-config: No such file or directory
RazorBlade dablade #

we did this over IRC, but I'm reitterating for documentational purposes
ONE: your permissions were wrong on /
TWO: your PATH is incorrect
| Code: |
whereis kde-config
echo ${PATH}
|
since you don't have /usr/kde/3.4/bin in your path (or much else for that matter... (scary!) you should run
| Code: |
emerge gentoolkit
dispatch-conf
|
and make sure all the files in /etc/ are up to date (a few of these modify your PATH). Don't replace /etc/fstab or /etc/rc.conf or anything else you have edited yourself.
| Code: |
cp /etc/skel/.bashrc ~/
source /etc/profile
source ~/.bashrc
|
log out of your system completely (or reboot) and log back in.
Your PATH should be correct now.
