[gentoo-dev] Would qt-3.1 solve the Linux font problem?

[gentoo-dev] Would qt-3.1 solve the Linux font problem?

[Viktor Lakics]

Dear Devs,

With the console (aka. Linux) font in konsole I get garbled chars
(line drawing chars) in mutt and mc. I found some hints in the
konsole-dev list as to solving this problem. Apparently this bug is
associated  with qt-3.05 not picking the right character to test the
line drawing char capability of a font (apparently the "console"
font does not have this char what qt-3.05   picks). Qt-3.04 claimed
to be working, but it is not in portage and I do not  want to mess
with my kde on a production machine...  

Could anyone test that when we upgrade to kde-3.1, qt-3.1 will fix
this bug? Would KDE-3.04 or KDE-3.1 work with qt-3.04? What would be
the way to install qt-4.04 from sources without messing up my kde?

Bugs mentioned (konsole-dev): 

 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44993
 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45250 

Relevant bug in bugzilla-Gentoo:

 http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11063

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor

The best way would be for you to test qt 3.1 right now, it's in portage and 
working very nicely. It's a clean upgrade from 3.0.5 (no recompiles or 
anything required) and you can go back to 3.0.5 easily afterwards if you want 
to - it's just a question of compile time either way.

I do have to say that the problems described in kde bug #44993 don't seem to 
be gone, but that is from a cursory perusal of the code (I can't reproduce 
the bug itself) so it's really best for you to test. Everyone will likely be 
upgrading to qt 3.1.0 in a few days anyway.

As for qt 3.0.4, if you really want it, just copy the latest 3.0.5 ebuild to a 
qt-3.0.4.ebuild and it should work. (You may have to disable the Korean patch 
though.)

Merged Qt 3.1. Konsole crashing badly every time I start it.
Everything else is fine. If I start from an xterm it says:

Qt: Locales not supported on X server
_KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
DCOPServer up and running.
Qt: Locales not supported on X server
KCrash: crashing.... crashRecursionCounter = 2
KCrash: Application Name = konsole path = <unknown> pid = 6317
Qt: Locales not supported on X server

The message about locales was there earlier as well, but it did not
effect anything. Any idea what to do?

Thanks in advance. -- Viktor

I had to recompile konsole (well, kdebase) before I could get it to 
start again after I installed Qt 3.1.  Now its much better.

Hi,

this is fixed in kdebase-3.0.4-r3.

Viktor, look at http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10796.  Basically, 
the konsole problem is fixed by emerging kdebase-3.0.4-r3

[gentoo-dev] Would qt-3.1 solve the Linux font problem? YES - SOLVED!

[Viktor Lakics]

Thanks everyone, qt3.1 and kdebase remerge solved the problem...
