[gentoo-user] kde 4.2 no prefixed problems

[gentoo-user] kde 4.2 no prefixed problems

[Andrés Becerra Sandoval]

Hi,

I installed kde-4.2 with USE="kdeprefix" two weeks ago and everything
I needed was working all right.

Then I decided to change my USE flags and delete kdeprefix in order to
have kde in /usr. After that I:

- Did an emerge -uDN world
- Deleted my user folders .kde*

The result was a kde-4.2 merged back, but with the following
applications crashing:

- kopete
- kmail
- kontact
- kaddresbook
- korganizer

With error messages like this:


kaddressbook(10155)/kdepimlibs (kabc) KABC::StdAddressBook::self:
asynchronous= true
kaddressbook(10155)/kresources KRES::Factory::self:
kaddressbook(10155)/kdecore (KSycoca) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase:

Error message was:  "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message

Does anybody has any suggestions to fix these problems?, all this
packages used to work when I had kde prefixed!


Thanks,

Check if /usr/kde/4.2/ has any files in it; there shouldn't be any in a 
non-prefixed install.  If there are, check the packages they belong to:

   equery belongs `find /usr/kde/4.2`

and try to re-emerge those packages.

Unmerge EVERYTHING related to KDE-4.2. Every last package you can find, 
including Qt. Inspect emerge --depclean carefully and run it. Examine your 
world and make sure there's nothing left from KDE4. Make especially sure you 
are not mixing stuff from an overlay and the portage tree.

Then rebuild the whole lot the way you want it with the actual USE flags you 
want. This seems the wrong way round, but it isn't. I spent almost a week 
struggling to no avail with krunner and kopete doing the same things as yours, 
when complete reinstall fixed all of it in 8 hours.

Thank you Alan,

I guess Complete reinstall is the way to go  ...
