According to the forums, some have installed it already.  It appears to
be doing OK, considering it is not official yet.  ;)  I'm stuck
downloading Open Office so I'm waiting before I at least download it.

It was released two days ago according to the KDE web site. I've been
using it since beta1 and it works well. From rc2 onwards it has been rock
solid.

I have tried to install kde-meta-3.5.0, however I get problems while
merging kdetalk-3.5.0 . I am not sure yet if I am alone on this one.

You wouldn't happen to recall how many MBs the downloads for KDE were
would you?  I know there are a lot of packages but it usually takes me a
couple nights to get it all, like OOo does.  Sorry dial-up!!  I don't
want to try to unmask all that.  May bork something.  O_O  I am still
trying to get OOo anyway.

I just did emerge --udpate --deep world. It slotted 3.4 and 3.5, so I 
first cleared out my distfiles to free up some space! Then, edited 
/etc/rc.conf to set XSESSION="kde-3.5". After restarting 
/etc/init.d/xdm, kdm-3.5 came up with entries for both 3.4 and 3.5. Some 
packages are still being compiled. I'll keep 3.4 till all of them are 
compiled and then unmerge 3.4.

3.5 is working just fine here. The only thing that went wrong is that it 
doesn't show my pop-up panel on the right hand side of the screen. The 
one at the bottom works just fine.

Use XSESSION="kde" and it will always use the latest version.

You won't bork anything by unmasking only. then use emerge -f to fetch
the files. Or download them from your nearest KDE mirror and put them
in $DISTDIR.

If you have an old monolithic KDE install (in my case KDE-3.2.x) and
would like to unmerge it along with all the kde 3.2.x packages and
exclusive dependencies to save some space, how would you do it?  How
could one ensure that there will be no apps/deps out there, which will
try to re-emerge this old version afresh?

upgraded (~amd64) app by app, then it apeared slotet, spent some time 
unmerging all kde 3.4* parts
runing it for 10 hours, no problems noticed. dont know is there better 
performance.  ok, so far dont like konquerors ad bloking feature, will look

Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the info!

Also, after unmerging KDE 3.4, I had to rebuild all the other apps
that were built for 3.4 viz. konversation, amarok, kdiff3, krename,
kio-locate, krusader, kmldonkey, ktorrent, tellico, kchmviewer etc etc
etc.

Would  not the command revdep-rebuild do this for you ?
Just need to clarify before jumping in to kde-3.5 too.

I have a script that does this (found on this forum a while ago):

for x in `ls /usr/portage/kde-base`; do
  if [ "$x" != "CVS" ]; then
    echo -n "=kde-base/$x-3.2* "
  fi
done |xargs emerge -Cv

Actually, turns out that it was the moodin engine that required the 
rebuild. Rest were rather unnecessary. Anyway. I didn't try revdep-rebuild.

amaroK failed to compile with visualization support with KDE 3.5. 
Tellico failed as well. Mhmmm.

Yes, after removing 3.4. Until you remove it I don't think
revdep-rebuild complains because the needed libraries are still there.

Hi !!

I'm just finishing emerging lots of updates and KDE of course. I'll tell
you. I've seen that KDE 3.5 is slotted, and I'd like to uninstall 3.4
version, but I've got installed non-monolithic package, so there are lots
of dependencies and apps that are not on kde-base, and I'd like to know
how to uninstall it succesffully.

for x in `ls /usr/portage/kde-base`; do
  if [ "$x" != "CVS" ]; then
    echo -n "=kde-base/$x-3.2* "
  fi
done |xargs emerge -Cv

Hi,

Just to make sure I get this right, when I upgrade to KDE 3.5, KDE 3.4
will still be installed right?  This is how it was done in the past but
I don't want to loose 3.4 until I get used to 3.5 and make sure it will
work OK.

I use kdm and can select what version of KDE I want to login to.  I also
used that to select between KDE, Gnome, IceWM etc when I was testing the
waters.  Just thought you would like to know that.  Kept me from having
to edit rc.conf to pick what GUI I wanted to use.

Correct. Just to be sure, do emerge -up kde first, and if NS (new slot) is 
before each kde package, you're ready to go. Also it's a good idea to do a :

cp -a /home/user/.kde3.4 .kde.old 

for a backup of your user configs. Maybe also back up a few config files 
in /usr/kde/3.4/share/config.  Really, upgrading to 3.5 is painless and 
simple.

Thanks for the info.  That was the way they did it in the past but I
wanted to make sure, you know, before I borked it up really bad.  If I'm
going to screw it up, I may as well know I'm going to do it good.  LOL 
Those back-ups sounds like a good idea.  I think it did it itself last
time though.  It was there at least and I didn't do it.  I was ignorant
then. 

Now to get OOo downloaded.  My ISP kicks me offline after 6 hours.  I'm
trying another number to see if it is any better.  If they don't fix it,
I may end up switching.  It's starting to get old.  I sent them a email
but have not heard back.  May have to call them.  They are just up the
street so I can go eye to eye if needed.  Hit them with a hammer to get
their attention.  o_O  Hit the server to if needed.  LOL

Hi @ll,

I am using a x86 system.
Today I did an "emerge sync && emerge -uDNpv world" and hoped for updating kde  
3.4 -> 3.5. But threre were no updates for it. My question, is kde 3.5 
already not stable?

Or have I to do something I forgot?

It is available but it is still masked.  I have heard of people
elsewhere that have it installed and it runs fine but the Gentoo folks
want to make sure before they mark it as stable.  There have been a few
people that complain when they release something that has a bug so they
are exercising a bit of caution.  I can't say I blame them either.  It
is a big update if you let it remove the old version during the install.

You can make it update by putting kde in your package.use file but it
may be best to wait unless you would be able to fix anything that
breaks, which is why I am waiting.  Chances are it will not hurt
anything but you never know.

Yes, KDE is still slotted.

rc.conf doesn't set the GUI you use, it only sets which display manager
is run. The display manager is then used to choose the window manager.

Neil was partly wrong here: _If_ you use a display manager, then 
DISPLAYMANAGER tells which one to use.

OTOH, XSESSION tells which window manager to use as default for either xdm, 
startx or xinit.

That means if you use xdm as your display manager or no display manager at 
all, then setting XSESSION will be just fine. Other display managers like 
kdm or gdm let you choose which window manager to run at login time, so 
they don't need XSESSION.

HTH...

Sorry, my reply was a bit confusing. I was referring to the
DISPLAYMANAGER setting and assumed you were, since you use kdm. If you
set the use of gdm or kdm in DISPLAYMANAGER then XSESSION is ignored, so
each user chooses their window manager when they log in. XSESSION is only
used with xdm or startx.

Well, I use KDM and I click the menu thing to select what I want to
login too, or shutdown/restart.  I guess in good Linux tradition there
is more than one way to skin this cat.  LOL  Some more painful for the
cat I assume.  ^_o

For once, I am not so confused.  That's . . . . confusing.  LOL  Yup,
I'm a mess in person too.

As far as I know KDE 3.5 is considered stable but the ebuilds that 
install it in gentoo are not hence the ~arch keyword.

I say that and I am compiling OOo at the moment but I can download KDE

Once an emerge get into the portage tree, the standard (and rarely, if 
ever violated) waiting time before they become stable is 30 days.

I've installed a few kde-3.5 packages without problem.  I have a friend 
that's been running it since beta 2.  Since you seem to be very 
interested in this package, I encourage you to unmask it by adding 
'=cat-egory/package-3.5* ~x86' to your /etc/portage/package.keywords 
for each of the kde-3.5 packages you want to install.  With the new 
style meta ebuilds you can install package by package OR try and do the 
whole thing by emerging kde-meta.  You'll still have to add each 
package to your /etc/portage/package.keywords.

The whole point of ~arch is testing, bug reports will help refine the 
ebuilds.

It is already in portage, you only have to unmask it to install. It will
probably be a while before the builds are marked stable, the normal delay
is 30 days.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE 3.5

[Robert Crawford]

Kde-3.5 runs perfect- best kde yet.  Just unmask it 
in /etc/portage/package.keywords, like this:

=kde-base/arts-1.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdebase-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdenetwork-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdepim-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdemultimedia-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdeutils-3.5.0 ~x86
# =kde-base/kdesdk-3.3.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdegraphics-3.5.0 ~x86
# =kde-base/kdegames-3.3.0 ~x86
# =kde-base/kdeedu-3.3.0 ~x86
# =kde-base/kdetoys-3.3.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdeartwork-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdeaddons-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdeadmin-3.5.0 ~x86
=kde-base/kdeaccessibility-3.5.0 ~x86

(I just commented out packages I don't use or want).

Then, also add the unwanted packages to /etc/portage/profile/package.provided 
to stop emerge from trying to pull in the unwanted kde packages. Might be a 
simpler way, but this works for me. 3.5 goes in a slot, so your other kde is 
safe.

kde-base/kdetoys-3.5.0
kde-base/kdeedu-3.5.0
kde-base/kdegames-3.5.0
kde-base/kdesdk-3.5.0
kde-base/kde-i18n-3.5.0
kde-base/kdewebdev-3.5.0

[gentoo-user] KDE 3.5

[Anthony E. Caudel]

I see that KDE 3.5 finally made it out of testing.  I plan to upgrade to 
it but since it is slotted, I'll have to unmerge 3.4 first.  No problem, 
but I think I will then have to recompile all non-kde but related apps, 
such a k3b, that were compiled against the old libraries.  Right?

Using "equery useflag kde", I found k3b and amarok (and gnome-libs ????).

So, my question is:  Is this all?  I can't believe these are all the 
semi-kde apps there are?  Does the fact that it does not use the kde 
flag guarantee that it does not need the kde libraries?

Course, I guess I could blithely go along and as apps crash, I'll find 
the others.

Just do a revdep-rebuild after merging 3.5 and unmerging 3.4 - that 
should rebuild anything that lost libraries.

You don't need to unmerge 3.4 _first_.  You can do it after you have
merged 3.5, although even then it is optional.

No, like all USE flags, the kde flag is only for *optional* kde
support.  There are some applications that will not work at all
without KDE, even though they are not part of KDE.  Those applications
will not have a kde use flag, but will bring in whatever parts of kde
they depend on.  Examples are koffice, kdevelop, kmplayer, kaffeine,
...

The whole point of slotting is that you *don't* have to unmerge 3.4
first. You can continue to use 3.4 while merging 3.5, then you'll be
given the choice of 3.4 or 3.5 in KDm's menu. Only unmerge 3.4 when
you're sure everything is OK with 3.5 and you no longer need it.

I must agree here. I have been using the 3.5 ebuilds since they entered the 
tree many months) on two systems.

I still consider it buggy, and am quite surprised they have gone "stable" in 
gentoo.

While they are not major issues, they are definately annoyances: One is that 
konqueror has an interestingly difficult time scrolling up and down pages if 
they have text boxes which are populated with text in them.

Another is that kmail crashes. A *LOT*. A minimum of two times a day on me, I 
have seen as high as five.

I do not consider 3.5 stable

It is a wise idea to use the slotting feature, and keep 3.4.

kmail crashes me a lot because of this:
it tries to fetch mails from a defunc server (it is still in the prefs, 
because it will be back in some weeks - and I don't know the pw anymore). 
When I close kmail, while it waits for the timeouts: crash
Or it won't really stop (kmail and kio_pop3 still visible in ps aux), 
advantage, when I start kmail again, I don't have to type in the 
kwallet-pw ... 

Oh, and logout most of the times only works on the second try ...

These are all probably useful... but not to the gentoo-user list.  If 
you want the bugs fixed, do go to http://bugs.kde.org/ and post them 
(check to see if they've already been posted first though eh?)  Only 
then will your problems get the attention they need.

people started to talk about kde bugs, so I mentioned the ones, I hit.

Nothing else.

Oh, and the logout bug IS in the bugzilla. For ages now. Without any advances.
