 Posted: Sat Sep 23, 2006 2:56 pm Post subject: how to install knetworkconf/network module on gentoo Kde |
 |
|
I installed KDE and then found network module not working in KDE.Then i checked on the net for any network module, I found knetworkconf.The i tried to install knetworkconf.
I have followed the steps given below.
i update portage by
emerge -u portage
then i tried
emerge knetworkconf-0.6.1.tar.bz2
i get this message
Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisy "knetworkconf-0.6.1.tar.bz2"
Please Help
I am new to Linux, trying to understand. Is there any website to learn about the general architecture of gentoo.Like how to learn about folders/partition/installing software.
Is there anything in KDE to install Bz2 or software package directly like in MSwindows.
Thanks |

Although knetworkconf is apparently not (yet?) part of gentoo's KDE (meta) packages, there is an ebuild available in (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19413).
You will need to make an entry in make.conf | Code: | | PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage |
and create the overlay with | Code: | # mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/kde-misc/knetworkconf
|
Download https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=93673 to /usr/local/portage/kde-misc/knetworkconf/knetworkconf-0.6.1.ebuild then
| Code: | # cd /usr/local/portage/kde-misc/knetworkconf
# ebuild knetworkconf-0.6.1.ebuild digest |
and finally | Code: | | # emerge -av knetworkconf |
to emerge the package. I haven't tried it, don't know if it works, maybe sombody else has (?). The script is a bit dated, but there is a note on http://knetworkconf.sourceforge.net/ that knetworkconf will be incorporated in kde-3.5 kdeadmin. HTH
Later added: I tried the ebuild, looks like it works, although I haven't really tested it at length. Good luck! |

Moved from Gentoo Chat to Unsupported Software. This is a support request for a piece of software not in the tree yet.
