madcat87,
I just emerged kdegraphics (svn) OK about 12 hours ago (Sat., 9::00PM), but I don't know about theNEPOMUK_LIBRARY variable, and I've never seen any message like you mentioned before. I do know I've never set that variable myself.

Hmmmm.. Not sure I understand- What was your emerge command? If you are trying to build kdebase-9999.4, why does the 2nd code snippet from what I assume was emerge -pv refer to kdelibs-4.0.2 and kdepimlibs-4.0.2 not being installed? Do you actually have kdelibs and kdepimlibs svn installed now?

I always thought that Nepomuk is part of kdelibs.Am I wrong?

Related to nepomuk is it's dependency soprano. I updated KDE SVN on Gentoo yesterday, but didn't notice new info on this I just found out about.

Today, I decided to update my Arch partition KDE SVN, using the kdesvn-build script. Anyway, during configure of kdebase, a message popped up saying "soprano-2.0.2 was too old, please install 2.0.97 or newer, required for nepomuk."

I looked all over, but couldn't find 2.0.97, but did find 2.0.3- don't know if that's really newer or not. I installed it, but on recompile of kdebase, it didn't pick it up- don't know why.

It didn't cause kdebase to error out, so I just went ahead. What's curious is that kdesvn-build installs the kdesupport package from the trunk repo which includes soprano svn, and it all looks normal, but apparently it isn't recognized by kdebase (on Arch).

Come to think of it, IIRC, on Gentoo yesterday, I did have to update soprano to svn from the 2.0.2 I had from portage before emerge kdebase would even start compiling.

Anyway, my point is that nepomuk problems could be related to the soprano version some users might have installed. After my Arch SVN updates finish up, I'll go back to Gentoo and review this, and make sure I did indeed update soprano to svn.

Now kdebase won't build.The thing is that apparently there is some change in kdelibs about nepomuk,and now dolphin won't start if I don't rebuild kdebase.

I must be the only one having this problem. I have searched everywhere. If anyone else has had this problem, please help me.

I also have to keep emerging kdebase:kde-svn, because alot of the time it errors out trying to svn update the kdebase it's self, and doesn't even make it to the oxygen update.

Thanks for the help.

kg4ojl: Delete your download directory and try again, I know they were having problems last week and your local tree might be corrupted.

One of the anonsvn mirrors seems to freak out.

I simply added following to /etc/hosts for now:

That did the trick adding 138.246.255.177 anonsvn.kde.org to /etc/hosts.

Thank You.

mikkoc posted this on the qt-snapshot thread. I had to use it last night on my Arch partition update. Guess I'll need it on Gentoo, too, after my qt update finishes.

I wonder if they are aware of the problem?

yea, gimpel's solution is waaay better and cleaner

I'll try it too

here is a simple question i 've never get answered, please someone help me!!

how can i change my kde3 apps color scheme on kde4?? i.e. k3b, kicker, etc.

i want my kde3 apps i'm still using, to run on kde4 and integrated.

i'm using qtcurve, so i feel they look in an uniform way, but i want my kde3 apps to follow kde4 color scheme.

kcontrol is useless and kcmshell is not working.

any idea???

thanks in advance, and sorry my cr@ppy english.

Just finished an svn update- all packages compiled fine. However, I now have the infuriating xorg screen resolution problem I have always had on my Arch partition. At least on my Arch install, I can get my normal 1280x1024@75 I've used for years on this Gateway EV910 19" monitor by manipulating systemsettings->display by going to 1152x864 and changing to 75Hz, accepting, then changing back to 1280x1024 and accepting. That gets me the full screen display, but it doesn't survive restarting kde. I have to do the same routine each time to get the full display.

Until today's full update on my Gentoo SVN install, I did have 1280x1024@75, and it was permanent, for months with kde svn.

It's now suddenly ike the Arch install, only worse, in that I can't even temporarily manipulate it into the full 1280x1024@75 display. Krandr doesn't have the 75hz setting anymore for 1280x1024, and reverts to "Auto," which gets me the wrong value. I've faced this before on Arch, and no re-configuring of xorg.conf helps. I'm convinced krandr is still buggy, but surely there must be a manual edit work-around? I know my hardware well, as I build all my boxes. Here's the krandrrc file:

It is probably your xrand which is broken... Be thankful that you do not have dual screens

Mine reports the refresh rate as 50 instead of 60 and I get terrible tearing, nothing seems to fix it

You can try disabling xrandr altogether

Does anyone know what happened to kdebindings? It disappeared from the overlay

mikedee,
I just discovered that if I go to kicker->applications->System Tools-> and click KRandRTray and place it's icon in the panel, and THEN left click it, it places another smaller icon on the right side of the panel. Then I can remove the first larger icon, and right click the smaller icon, and refresh rate choose 75, and it re-starts X, and I can accept my normal 1280x1024@75, full screen display.

However, it still doesn't survive re-starting kde, but the small icon remains, and I can reset my resolution without having to go through kicker->systemsettings->display, and first setting 1152x864@75, accepting, and then resetting to 1280x1024@75. If it did retain my settings, it would then be like kde has always worked with kranadr

All I can say is it's now a little less of a PITA.

IMO, in any decent desktop environment, not being able to retain your preferred screen resolution when re-starting/rebooting is ridiculous, and completely unacceptable. This is worse than not being able to retain the preferred panel size, which was finally fixed last week. Things like this should be an absolute major priority.

In user/portage/distfiles/svn-src/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/randr/changelog I found this comment:
