Aliens kde 4.13.3 link problem
 

Great new release,

I discovered there is a softlink missing:
/usr/lib64/libNetworkManagerQt.so.0 > /usr/lib64/libNetworkManagerQt.so.0.9.8.2

it breaks the networkmanager plasmoid.

I just upgraded to the new xorg and it broke kwin complaining about /usr/lib64/libxcb-sync.so.0 ,
the /usr/lib/ tree has the .so.0 links, is this perhaps some multilib conflict?

Can you try re-installing the plasma-nm-0.9.3.3-x86_64-1alien.txz package using "upgradepkg --reinstall" and report what happens then? I think I may have forgotten to update that package's BUILD number.

Hi

I can not test my own new KDE because of the slow network connection I have in these outbacks - I have no bandwidth to attempt an upgrade of the new Slackware packages and my new KDE.

I built these new KDE packages before Patrick upgraded the X.Org in Slackware-current so the possibility exists that I have to recompile kwin.

Eric

kwin definitely needs to be rebuild against the current X.Org. Bob, can you also confirm what Pat said here? Seems kwin is actually linked to libxcb-sync.so.0

kwin should not have any direct link to libxcb-sync.so. The only part of KDE in -current that needed any recompiling due to X updates was calligra, since the major library version for libGLEW was bumped.

I reinstalled plasma-nm-0.9.3.3-x86_64-1alien.txz package and it fixed the problem libNetworkManagerQt.so.0 is no longer needed.

Well, it has, as far as I understand :

EDIT : OK, someone pointed to me on another thread that it was only true for AlienBob's 4.13.3 packages, so forget the above remark.

Hmm.. just upgraded to the latest Slackware updates and installed the latest Ktown, no issues that I can see.

I marked the thread solved, the issues have been fixed.
