Sometimes deleting the whole svn-src tree fixes errors in CMAKE and other places.

Give it a shot.

Very confident with kde4... so confident I want kde3.5 off of my machine.

I have removed (well, at least I think) all kde 3.5 apps. Now when I do an update world with paludis, kde3.5 libs, base, etc are being installed. Yes, this may be the wrong thread to be asking this, but I am sure it will be asked increasingly as others become as comfortable and confident with kde4....

How have you removed KDE3.5 and kept it off of your machine!?!

I have removed kde-3.5 from both systems, but still have to keep kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.10 for amarok-1.4. That's however the only thing that's left of it, and I've stripped it down for minimal use:

Hey guys!

Yesterday I unmerged KDE-4.1.1 and installed 4.1.66. No problems while installing so far!

But after making my settings in System Settings I found a problem. (ok, I recognized it first when I tried to use Amarok).
Amarok says that phonon is unable to play mp3 (... flac doesn't work as well)
So I looked here: System Settings -> Multimedia -> Backends ... and ?! .. NO BACKENDS in the list

I thought phonon-xine wasn't installed, but I was. I reinstalled it, restarted my computer, but no luck at all ..

I hope this is a known problem and someone can help me.
If you've got questions concerning log files etc. just ask. I'll have a look and post them here.

Thanks

EDIT: media-sound/phonon is installed, qt-phonon is NOT installed.
EDIT 2: it's phonon-4.2.0 and phonon-xine-4.1.66 (is here the problem!?)

EDIT3: I started systemsettings in konsole. and here's the error message when i click on multimedia: "WARNING: bool Phonon::FactoryPrivate::createBackend() phonon backend plugin could not be loaded"

I do get the same warning from systemsettings. If you are using the kdesvn-overlay, as I suspect, then look into this thread instead for support.

Thanks, but I thought this here was the kdesvn discussion !?!

asturm · Developer Joined: 05 Apr 2007 Posts: 9335

Nope, here's the Paludis party.

Thanks man

This is pretty much the solution - minus the fact that equery is a portage tool. Is there an equivalent solution for paludis??

And trying not to make this a paludis topic... I'd like to think my request as more of a "how to completely switch to kde4" thread

Tell me to f* off to the paludis threads if this is too off topic heh

Just synced, and with my kde-scm complete update it's pulling in a split qt-4.4.2! first.

Looked on trolltech, and 4.4.2 was released yesterday.

Anyone else completed this update yet, and any comments/problems?

All went OKAY here... qt-phonon wasn't updated with the slotted qt:4... had to manually update it.

After a recent update, my kde-svn doesn't have the panel anymore. I lost my panel. Someone please help me find it.... :-)

plasma-appletrc has all the applets that I had in my panel, but my panel is not there anymore. Has anyone seen this?

devsk,
Have you tried dropping out of kdesvn and X into a terminal, and removing your .kdesvn directory, then shut down and rebooting?

You'll have to redo all your custom settings, but that might be the problem. I always do it after a rebuild just to make sure I get any updates to the old .kdesvn config files- it sometimes causes problems if you don't. You need to shutdown completely to make sure the ram is completely flushed, and no traces of the apps and/or configs remain which might conflict with with the svn updates.

if I were to go that extreme, I might as well add a new panel.... :-)

But why did I lose my panel? that's the million dollar question...is SVN so fluid in settings that I lost it over one day?

wrc1944 · Posted: Sat Sep 20, 2008 3:05 pm Post subject:

For my setup, I can go to system settings and reset verything in 2-3 minutes, which I don't find too excessive. Then I know my .kdesvn has been regenerated with any new svn changes.

When I first started using kdesvn about a year ago, I would continually run into problems which were caused by keeping the old .kdesvn directory. I know, because removing it and cold-rebooting usually resolved the issue. I also discovered that just restarting x/kde didn't always achieve the same results, which I attribute to not completely flushing the ram as a cold reboot does.

Accordingly, I've just gotten into the habit of removing .kdesvn everytime, especially after I started following all the kdesvn trunk changes at http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/ and realized that in 1-2 days you can sometimes have a hundred or more changes, some of which may conflict with old config files in the old .kdesvn directory.

At least that's my current working theory. :wink:

BTW. if you use konqueror as your web browser, back up your bookmark file, and copy it over into the new .kdesvn. However, while I'm doing all this constant kdesvn updating, I'm just using another browser.

Also, you might be able to get away with just removing (or safer, just temporarily rename them as a backup) specific .kdesvn files and then rebooting, if you know they relate to your specific problem. I found tracking them down took more time (at least for me) than just removing .kdesvn itself.

Hi all,

recently I had problems with 3.5.10 so I decided to go after 4.X versions. Everything went ok re compilation and first run (had to turn off Backingstore in xorg.conf file for nvidia)
After that my euphoria went to ground zero state. I can't run firefox or wine (game

ehm, World of Warcraft, in opengl) with the same error. To me it look like X.org+kde related problem with opengl. I'll try to post that error asap, now I am in windows.
Does anybody have the same problem ? I am on 4.2 devel branch now.
