To the guy a few pages back asking about PyKDE4 failing:
This seems to be a bug.
All you need to do is:
| Code: |
ln -s /usr/bin/kde4-config /usr/bin/kde-config
emerge -1 pykde4
rm /usr/bin/kde-config
|
And if you're wondering why PyKDE4 is useful, it's because it is required for python based plasma widgets. It may also be used for some other applications in the future, but plasma is the reason it's pulled into the normal KDE tree. |

I found I had to go into the compiz configurator and reset quite
a few things that somehow got turned off or messed up - especially
I had to turn on the window decorator ! But now it works just fine.

Too bad, I wonder why our installations behave differently, I just did an emerge --sync and I can still emerge kde-base/phonon-xine-4.1.4 beside media-sound/phonon-4.3.0.

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

When it comes to the symlinks, I had to restart KDE for it to start working...and...only xine backend works. I had to go into the Multimedia and choose the sound card (in my case "HDA Intel (STAC92xx Analog)") and when I hit Test button it worked great. |

Which xorg-x11 version are you running? |

ok, how stable is it? I wonder should I take the plunge today or wait till it goes stable, more over I need to work on the computer, I dont want to wakeup tomorrow and configure a working desktop all day or stay without a desktop all day. (I plan to compile it overnight hoping no error will occur...)

Does "New theme" button in appearence settings work for you? When I click on it nothing happens. I have the same issue with "Get new wallpapers" button. Both worked for me when I used kde-crazy overlay. Should I install something?
Moreover, dolphin has "no text!" in menu...

chmod 755 /usr/share/config
Should fix it. |

I have installed 4.2 version of kde but I have a small problem with plasmoids and other plasma related apps : there is no icone displayed for the close/move/resize/parameter action, only an empty bar is appearing when moving the mouse hover it. krunner also have empty buttons (no icon inside).
Any idea what the problem could be ?
[Edit] Remerging kdelibs seems to fix it.. strange  |
Same here, and no help with kdelibs remerge  But on my installation some themes has these icons and others doesn't. Silicon is one of the working ones. And after the first startup there was definetely something b0rked with themes in general: the taskbar etc were transparent, no plasma theming shown at all. Got a theme via "new theme" button and the appearance was fixed (except those icons).
What package should provide the default theme and these icons (and what's the theme called)? Remerging that might be the next step...
Edit: Hope this isn't caused by the GEM hassle, mythtv etc. opengl apps are currently dead slow on my eeepc.

|
|
| I just finished emerging @kde. I tried switching to kdm as my login manager, however no matter what session type I pick, kdm always dumps me to a single xterm with no window manager. Running startkde from that xterm works fine, as does running KDE from gdm. Any ideas why kdm is all screwed up? |

I think kdm either need pam or consolekit use flag enabled.
I'm not sure though.
Are both disabled? |

Using the predefined sets is also no option if one doesn't like nepomuk/semantic-desktop. That's why I always suggest to create one's own set. |
How to disable all these things at all? |

If you are using the sets then create your own sets which doesn't include them. |

No joy. I tried enabling consolekit and starting the corresponding daemon but kdm still dumps me to an xterm. I already had pam enabled, so at this point I've tried kdm with USE="pam consolekit" and with just USE="pam", neither is working for me. Oh well, I'll just go back to gdm for now. |

Lol, thanks. I opened up the compiz configurator and EVERYTHING was off. Turned the basic ones on to get it working and WHABAM! it's up. Now I just need to spend all day configuring all the options to what I like. 
Oh, any idea why the kde pager only shows one virtual desktop instead of 4 now? There must be an option for it somewhere. |

I don't understand a meaning of a 'set' word in the current context - just emerged ~kde-meta from the official ~amd64 tree. |

Sets are so they it can be easy to install and uninstall packages. They are only useful for many packages. Like if you had Gnome for example. Which doesn't have a set. You would have to eix and search for each package it installed to uninstall KDE completely. Now when you have sets and do emerge -C @KDE. You don't have to do that and you can uninstall it all at once. |

Are sets are supported by portage 2.1.x? Definitely, I have missed something - currently I know only two sets: system and world |
