-Please DON'T report any [url=https://bugs.gentoo.org/]bugs[/url] regarding live packages
-in this overlay. For bugs related KDE release candidates you should add [kde-testing] to
-description, but it's [b]always[/b] better to ask on forum or IRC channel first.

-[size=18]KDE in Portage - FAQ[/size]
-
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] What's the deal with [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE flag and why is it
-masked?
-
-[b]A:[/b] [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE flag allows installing KDE4 in alternate location, thus
-making it possible to have multiple KDE4 releases side by side. Note that this is not
-needed to have KDE3 installed as well. Because having multiple KDE4 installations has
-known issues like bugs [bug=258027]258027[/bug] or [bug=267793]267793[/bug], it's not
-ready for public consumption hence it's been disabled by default.
-
-
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] I want to run amarok, but all I get is "symbol lookup error:
-/usr/kde/live/lib64/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so: undefined symbol". What should I do?
-
-[b]A:[/b] It's a Qt bug that appears when using [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE flag. Qt plugin
-loader appends "qtplugins" path from currently running KDE4 session, causing oxygen.so
-from wrong KDE prefix to be dlopen'ed. Unfortunately it as well cashes plugin locations in
-[color=blue]~/.config/Trolltech.conf[/color], making it permanently broken unless the file
-is removed. It usually happens with amarok or any other KDE4 applications installed in no
-prefix ([color=blue]/usr[/color]), that are built against existing KDE4 in one prefix (for
-example [color=blue]/usr/kde/4.2[/color]), but run from the other (for example in Gnome,
-KDE3 or [color=blue]/usr/kde/live[/color]). For now there's no known solution.
-
-
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] Why there are no sets for KDE4?
-
-[b]A:[/b] KDE4 so far is NOT making use of sets but sets are expected to arrive in near
-future - the reason is - the naming convention for sets is not yet established. Although
-KDE4 Gentoo team prepared some sets for you
-[url=http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=tree;f=sets;h=
-829bc933b1e43e13133dcd6f9c2c2c5566569315;hb=master]here[/url] (click 'raw' to download
-file and place in [color=blue]/etc/portage/sets/[/color]). An archive with all sets can be
-downloaded from
-[url=http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=snapshot;h=
-829bc933b1e43e13133dcd6f9c2c2c5566569315;sf=tgz]here[/url]. Remember that you are using
-them at your own risk.
-
-
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] When I start KDE 3, Plasma is being executed and my KDE 3
-applications are either crashing or just not working. Konqueror refuses to start,
-complaining about default stylesheet version mismatch. What's going on?
-
-[b]A:[/b] This is the conflict related to mixed KDE3/KDE4 sessions. To fix this issue you
-need to [url=http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde-split-ebuilds.xml]upgrade[/url]
-your existing KDE 3.5.x installations to 3.5.10 or newer. Note that the 3.5.10 series has
-not been given stable keywords yet and that the monolithic packages have been
-discontinued.
-
-
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] I installed KDE4, I can start my desktop using startx but KDM is
-not working. Please help.
-
-[b]A:[/b] First, ensure that [color=blue]kdm[/color] executable is in your [i]PATH[/i]. To
-check that, run:
-[code]which kdm[/code]
-If it's not found, then probably your environment is not up to date. To update it, run:
-[code]env-update && source /etc/profile[/code]
-When [color=blue]kdm[/color] is found, set [i]DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"[/i] variable in
-[color=blue]/etc/conf.d/xdm[/color]. From now on, KDM should be working.
-
-
-[color=orange]Q:[/color] I just found this neat KDE4 application, can you make an ebuild
-for it?
-
-[b]A:[/b] In short, no. To be more precise, it is possible but it would be better if you
-[url=http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing]created ebuild[/url] for it and send it
-Gentoo KDE team for review - it's more likely it will be added to overlay. The best
-procedure would be to create [url=https://bugs.gentoo.org]bug[/url] with ebuild proposal
-(if it's not there already) and inform the developers on
-[url=irc://irc.freenode.net/gentoo-kde]#gentoo-kde[/url] about it:
-[quote]Hi, i found this nice app blablu v 14.2 i opened bug 234556 for it. Please could
-you consider adding it to kde-testing?[/quote]
-
-If you have any suggestions for improvements regarding this guide, feel free to post them
-[topic=708322]here[/topic]. Please refrain from general discussion and do not post
-ebuild/installation questions there.
