Subject: [gentoo-user] KDE split ebuilds broken
Date: Fri, 23 Sep 2005 23:03:48

1 When I first upgraded to 3.4 I was unaware of the new split ebuilds,
2 so I just emerged normally getting (I assume) the old monolithic
3 ebuilds. When I finally got around to trying to use 3.4 (which was
4 a few months later) KDE came up with the taskbar not able to start,
5 and as such I couldn't see any minimized tasks. In researching I
6 discovered the new split ebuilds, read the "KDE split ebuilds howto",
7 and decided to see if using the split ebuilds would solve my problem.
8 So I unmerged kdebase and then emerged kdebase-meta. After doing that
9 not only does taskbar not work, but the pager and the clock won't run
10 and give me similar error messages when I start kde. The howto says
11 that I should be OK having kdebase using split ebuilds and others KDE
12 parts using th old monolithic way. Is this working for anyone? Anyone
13 else run into similar problems or have ideas about what the heck is
14 going wrong? I tried removing all my old ~/.kde dirs but that didn't
15 fix it. Appreciate any pointers.
