68 |
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] What's the deal with [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE flag and why is it |
69 |
-masked? |
70 |
- |
71 |
-[b]A:[/b] [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE flag allows installing KDE4 in alternate location, thus |
72 |
-making it possible to have multiple KDE4 releases side by side. Note that this is not |
73 |
-needed to have KDE3 installed as well. Because having multiple KDE4 installations has |
74 |
-known issues like bugs [bug=258027]258027[/bug] or [bug=267793]267793[/bug], it's not |
75 |
-ready for public consumption hence it's been disabled by default. |
76 |
- |
77 |
- |
78 |
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] I want to run amarok, but all I get is "symbol lookup error: |
79 |
-/usr/kde/live/lib64/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so: undefined symbol". What should I do? |
80 |
- |
81 |
-[b]A:[/b] It's a Qt bug that appears when using [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE flag. Qt plugin |
82 |
-loader appends "qtplugins" path from currently running KDE4 session, causing oxygen.so |
83 |
-from wrong KDE prefix to be dlopen'ed. Unfortunately it as well cashes plugin locations in |
84 |
-[color=blue]~/.config/Trolltech.conf[/color], making it permanently broken unless the file |
85 |
-is removed. It usually happens with amarok or any other KDE4 applications installed in no |
86 |
-prefix ([color=blue]/usr[/color]), that are built against existing KDE4 in one prefix (for |
87 |
-example [color=blue]/usr/kde/4.2[/color]), but run from the other (for example in Gnome, |
88 |
-KDE3 or [color=blue]/usr/kde/live[/color]). For now there's no known solution. |
89 |

90 |
- |
91 |
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] Why there are no sets for KDE4? |
92 |
- |
93 |
-[b]A:[/b] KDE4 so far is NOT making use of sets but sets are expected to arrive in near |
94 |
-future - the reason is - the naming convention for sets is not yet established. Although |
95 |
-KDE4 Gentoo team prepared some sets for you |
96 |

98 |
-file and place in [color=blue]/etc/portage/sets/[/color]). An archive with all sets can be |

102 |
-them at your own risk. |

105 |
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] When I start KDE 3, Plasma is being executed and my KDE 3 |
106 |
-applications are either crashing or just not working. Konqueror refuses to start, |
107 |
-complaining about default stylesheet version mismatch. What's going on? |
108 |
- |
109 |
-[b]A:[/b] This is the conflict related to mixed KDE3/KDE4 sessions. To fix this issue you |
110 |
-need to [url=http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde-split-ebuilds.xml]upgrade[/url] |
111 |
-your existing KDE 3.5.x installations to 3.5.10 or newer. Note that the 3.5.10 series has |
112 |
-not been given stable keywords yet and that the monolithic packages have been |
113 |
-discontinued. |
114 |
- |
115 |
- |
116 |
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] I installed KDE4, I can start my desktop using startx but KDM is |
117 |
-not working. Please help. |
118 |
- |
119 |
-[b]A:[/b] First, ensure that [color=blue]kdm[/color] executable is in your [i]PATH[/i]. To |
120 |
-check that, run: |
121 |
-[code]which kdm[/code] |
122 |
-If it's not found, then probably your environment is not up to date. To update it, run: |
123 |
-[code]env-update && source /etc/profile[/code] |
124 |
-When [color=blue]kdm[/color] is found, set [i]DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"[/i] variable in |
125 |
-[color=blue]/etc/conf.d/xdm[/color]. From now on, KDM should be working. |
126 |

127 |
- |
128 |
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] I just found this neat KDE4 application, can you make an ebuild |
129 |
-for it? |
130 |
- |
131 |
-[b]A:[/b] In short, no. To be more precise, it is possible but it would be better if you |
132 |
-[url=http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing]created ebuild[/url] for it and send it |
133 |
-Gentoo KDE team for review - it's more likely it will be added to overlay. The best |
134 |
-procedure would be to create [url=https://bugs.gentoo.org]bug[/url] with ebuild proposal |
135 |
-(if it's not there already) and inform the developers on |
136 |
-[url=irc://irc.freenode.net/gentoo-kde]#gentoo-kde[/url] about it: |
137 |
-[quote]Hi, i found this nice app blablu v 14.2 i opened bug 234556 for it. Please could |
