[gentoo-user] KDE4.2 compile problem

[Dirk Uys]

Hi

I'm trying to emerge kde-4.2, but the kde-base/systemsettings-4.2.0
ebuild fails:

I have the latest version of libXi (1.2.0). I tried searching the net,
but the only answer I got was that some guy on the kde forums had the
same problem and resolved it by installing the latest version of libXi
from the repository.

Have anyone else successfully built kde4.2?

No problems here on AMD64.  I didn't use anything outside portage.

It compiled with zero errors on a 32bit x86 with the necessary ebuilds 
autounmasked. If you need more info, feel free to email me direct.

why?

off-list communications should only be done with off-topic
conversations. If you have a solution for him, you should share it
with the list so others can find solutions to similar problems.

Well.. you just answered your own message. I DON'T have an answer, but I'm 
willing to answer any questions he may have off line... That was the purpose 
of my OP... What's the mystery?

Three systems so far, one x86, two amd64. Every single one failed to emerge 
kde 4.2 cleanly in a single run, but subsequently now has it.

What I mostly did was just restarted emerge -- and it would have the packages 
in different order and pass the problem spot a few packages later without the 
problems showing up any more. Having kde 4.1 stuff on the background 
cluttering up my system might have had an effect on this.

I don't know if I ran into your specific problem, just restarting emerge fixed 
most stuff for me. I did run into a hell of a problem with Xorg after 
successfully emerging kde 4.2, but that was due to the upgraded unstable xorg-
server 1.5.3 evdev not liking my xorg.conf -- and me not having cared to 
explore the evdev-stuff before being thus forced to.

No keyboard and no mouse makes using kde 4.2 even worse than kde 4.1 *with* 
keyboard and mouse. ;)

Today succesfully installed kde4.2 on amd64.
I first removed my old KDE completely and then installed it on a clean system.

Only reinstalling the old kde libs for programs that have not yet been ported 
to kde4.2.

Not run into any problems so far. Did have to unmask (~amd64) quite a few 
packages to get it to install.

I should have mentioned in my original email that I run ~x86 and that
I upgraded from KDE4.1. I had a few blockers which I had to emerge -C,
but other than that, everything except the systemsetting and startkde
package emerge fine.

I tried looking at the order of the emerges, but nothing seems out of
the ordinary as far as my knowledge goes. I tried rebuilding the
dependacies of systemsettings, but that did not resolve the problem.

What can I do about this? No one else seem to have this problem?

Dirk

Hi Dirk,

Did you try fully removing the entire KDE-chain?
Eg. emerge -C all the kde packages in the /var/lib/portage/world file
and then removing the remaining packages using emerge --depclean ?

This is what I did when moving from 3.5.10 to 4.2.0.

Thanks everyone for all the suggestions.

I am currently waiting for "emerge -DuvaNe systemsettings" to finish,
Ill keep the list up to date on my success.

Even re-emerging half  of my system didn't resolve the problem. I feel
like I should file a bug, but it doens't seem like it is something
that will be easy to reproduce on any other machine but mine.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE4.2 compile problem

[Dirk Uys]

After some more struggling I managed to get kde-base/systemsettings
compiled: If I unmerge x11-libs/libxkbfile and then emerge
systemsettings, it compiles fine (without support for the xkb
settings). After that I did an emerge -DuvaN world and this pulls in
libxkbfile again.

But when I try to start KDE4.2 (using kdm), the screen blanks out a
few times while kde is loading (the spash screen being displayed) and
then I briefly see a malformed desktop (the bottom of the taskbar
wraps around to the top of the screen) and then just a black screen.

In /var/log/messages, something about plasma crashing is reported,
can't remember and I'm not at the PC now, but nothing very
informative.

I feel like going back to my good old days of windowmaker.

Dirk

The screen flashes are an indication of trying to enable desktop effects 
(compositing.)  I think KDE 4.2.0 tries to enable them by default, but 
it seems the auto-detection of your graphics card's capabilities is 
failing.  Would be good if you can file a bug report about on bugs.kde.org.

I found bug #256827, upgraded gcc, and everything is fine and well again!

Hi Dirk,

I was able to compile KDE 4.2 successfully with no problems, without using
anything outside of Portage.

What arch are you using?  Did you use the new, split ebuild version of Qt4?
What USE flags are you using?  Are you using the 'ACCEPT_KEYWORDS' variable in
your make.conf file?

One suggestion that might work would be to remerge xorg-server, and all of your
xf86-* drivers (only the ones you need), as well as all keyboard related
packages, especially anything related to keyboard layout.  Make sure that you
place them in your package.keywords file first.

Regards,
Chris
