Thanks!

Ana,

Thanks for that! I left a comment in your blog as well.

To everyone else who helped: thanks for that too. I was actually getting things right this time. It will become an abandoned project now, though, thanks to the efforts of Ana and the other Debian KDE packagers involved in this.

Cheers!

Only pump was I had to force remove libplasma2.

I think I could have skipped that if I had removed the -dev packages before upgrading.

Cassiano, now you are a master building the snaspshots, you have done the first step for start makeing contributions to the kde packaging in Debian ;)

Same here and I didn't have any -dev packages for kde4 installed, is that packages no longer needed.

Two lame questions, if I solve this KDE 4 will be perfect for me.

1. and the most important one, how do you make folder view to preserve it's size when you reboot? It's very annoying that everytime it starts it reverts to a small size window and all the icons that I placed in my favorite place although they retain their position they get "rearranged" when I resize the plasmoid.

2. on one of the machine kicker plasmoid (what's the official name?) is transparent (which is what I want) but on another machine is bluish and not transparent, although I have transparence enabled, how can you change the look/color of the kicker?

BTW, it looks like themes don't work, am I right or it's only my config?

The plasma panel is based on the theme

You might make sure that the machine has composite enabled and desktop effects on.

Your first issue I can't duplicate.

Is your folderview fullscreen?

In Appearance change the desktop mode from Desktop to folder view.

It's strange, both desktops have the same theme and composite and desktop effects on. EDIT: on the desktop where I was having transparent kicker I backed up .kde4 and let KDE4 create it's own configurations and I got the same kicker as on the other desktop, now the trick is to figure out how I got it transparent in the first place.

As for the second one, I don't see any option to change from Desktop to folder view.... EDIT: OK, got it... but I was trying to keep folder view half of the screen but the plasmoid doesn't remember it's size at reboot, but this should work fine for my needs.

what if i want to build the packages myself ? :)

especially when stuff like "Could not connect to kde4.debian.net:80 (82.195.75.82). - connect (113 No route to host)" happens...

now... if only there was some easy way to grab stuff from svn and build packages...

Then go, do a checkout, do another checkout of the packaging stuff (it is mentioned early in this thread), build then and have fun. Do not forget send patches if you fix stuff!

easier said than done...

like when theres dependencies like cmake (>= 2.6.2-3~)
or the part when the "apt-get --build source moudule_name" starts downloading something old...

Hey, it is definitely in my plans! I had actually already given a first shot by packaging Lancelot, but it is now included in the official kdeplasma-addons! (guess I have to close the wnpp bug..)

My only problem at the moment is the complete lack of time, but I will be trying new adventures in contributing to the community as time gives.

Cheers and Happy Xmas to all!

@cassiano

Yes, thanks for the build...worked for me.

I upgraded the KDE 4.13 I had, to KDE 4.2-beta2, running under sidux (2008-3),
by just following the info at
http://kde42.debian.net/

I added the repo mentioned there, and using aptitude (rather than apt-get), I first
tentatively tried just an 'aptitude safe-upgrade' (which updated 32 pkgs, but
didn't get me there). But, with an 'aptitude dist-upgrade' (ok, I admit I was
a bit nervous, but that seemed like the needed thing to do ),
it worked! [Aptitude is key...had I tried that with apt-get, I'd be
sitting on a pile of worthless sidux dust. I LOVE aptitude!]

I'm now the happy evaluator of KDE 4.2 pre-release. It looks pretty slick, tho
I haven't really had time to explore it much yet. :D :D

I got KDE4.2 from experimental onto my Lenny.

Everything is perfect but now my network is not working. I do get a valid IP but still.

The error i get is:

Code: Select all

"resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolvconf/run/interface is not a directory"
Can you help me with this.
