Are there any kde 4.3 packages for 13

sombragris · 10-19-2009, 06:38 AM

The packages work beautifully for me. The only problem I have is that I can't get Akonadi to start...

Akonadi starts normally now with this update:

Code:

Sat Oct 17 23:56:15 UTC 2009
ap/mysql-5.1.39-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
       Added --with-innodb option. This was omitted from the last package version
       since ./configure --help no longer lists --with-innodb or --without-innodb,
       but evidently the option is still supported (and needed).
       Thanks to Amritpal Bath.

Maybe you need to update your system

I upgraded to 4.3.1 on Slackware 13-x86_64 -stable and everything works great. WOW -- A huge improvement from 4.2. Very impressed in just a few minutes -- much faster and polished. Thanks for putting the packages together (vbatt) -- and followed Erics instruction. I would highly recommend anyone who is on fence about KDE4 to go ahead and upgrade to 4.3.1. It's well worth it.

Thanks!

Hi everybody,

at first thanks to vbatts for his KDE 4.3.2 x86-packages. They work very fine for me using -current after upgrading with the recent mysql package (before this 'akobadi' would not run).

For now there are only two problems:

(i) when clicking on the icon 'Regional & Language' in 'System Settings' the 'System Settings' window freezes and the module 'Regional & Language' does not start. So configuring the regional settings is impossible. This appears for user 'root' as well as for the ordinary user.

This error occurs independently from installing a KDE language pkg (I have build a German language pkg for KDE 4.3.1 which works fine with vbatts' 4.3.1-pkgs.). I used this 4.3.1 language pkg also for testing in KDE 4.3.2.

(ii) Strigi will not run. In 'System Settings | Nepomuk/Strigi Server Configuration' enabling the Strigi Desktop File Indexer leads to "Strigi server failed to initialize...".

Any experiences or ideas? Perhaps a bug report should be mailed to the KDE bug tracking system.

Again thanks to vbatts for providing the packages to the community.

Also had the same problem in 'System Settings'

I tried i and got to the regional settings but clicking on any of the tabs there locked it up. I dont seem to have the icon from ii anywhere.

i will do some more investigation, because i have the same issue here. it isn't the systemsettings app itself, as it is only a shell. it must be something the kcm module itself, since `kcmshell4 language` will give a segfault the first time run, and then freeze everytime after that. sometimes it'll have console output like

Code:

$ kcmshell4 language
QMutex::lock: mutex lock failure:
QMutex::lock: mutex unlock failure:
KCrash: Application 'kcmshell4' crashing...
sock_file=/home/vbatts/.kde/socket-spiderpig/kdeinit4__0
[1]   Exit 253                kcmshell4 language

i'll see what i can find.

this seems to be a quirk. the "Enable Strigi Desktop File Indexer" should be grayed out, until the "Enable Nepomuk Semantic Desktop" is checked. for some reason, when you open it and both are unchecked, its allowing someone to incorrectly check one before the other. if you check the semantic desktop first, then the file indexer, it does it just fine here

Take care,

I too would like to throw in my thanks to vbatts.

I'm running the 4.3.1 version, on a "stock" Slack64 13.0 system.

The only issue I've seen so far, is that Akonadi fails to start, when KDE is started. But, if I go to System Settings -> Advanced -> Akonadi Configuration -> Akonadi Server Configuration and then press "Start" it all starts up perfectly.

Any thoughts on this, while I'm investigating would be helpful.

Cheers.

Get the latest MysQL from current.

Added --with-innodb option. This was omitted from the last package version
       since ./configure --help no longer lists --with-innodb or --without-innodb,

Running 4.3.2 on -current as of yesterday. Very nice job. Thanks for the effort!

Experiencing same "Regional & Language" lock-up. I can deal with the 24hr clock. Small price to pay for the other improvements.

Thanks again.

I thought that was only needed for the 4.3.2 packages.

Also, would it make a difference, because I don't run MySQL, I just have the package there, because it's needed to be present, for Akonadi.

Cheers.

I'm seeing a similar bug report kdebase-workspace in an Ubuntu bug database. I'm not sure if this linked bug report is relevant, but maybe there's some useful information there.

The same settings dialog works fine in Vincent's KDE 4.3.1 packages.

Oh well, when software is perfect, we can all retire.

Here's hoping for a fix.

Here is a link to the patch for the fix for this.
