Project Neon presents Amarok-Nightly and KDE-Nightly

Try out the new Amarok Nightly: http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon
Try out KDE nightly (KDE4.2): http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/User:Apachelogger/Project_Neon/KDE

I have been testing that with intrepid lately from here:
http://roderick-greening.blogspot.com/2008/11/kde-nightly-neon-for-thrill-seeker-in_03.html

but get this when trying to upgrade the last few days:

Fehler traten auf beim Bearbeiten von:
 /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-nightly-kdebase_20081109.7+svn881961-0neon1_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

I found this:
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19512286/buildlog_ubuntu-intrepid-lpia.kde-nightly-kdebase_20081109.7%2Bsvn881961-0neon1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

but that doesn't help much.

Any ideas?

^^^ I have this. I'll ask apachelogger.

[Fintan]

Thank you for the response.

Well at least I am not alone

I tried again today with the same result.

Patience is a virtue

[lmilano]

Thanks for adding the announcement. I was about to do the same The steps to add it in Intrepid are very easy! Add this repository in Adept or Syntaptic:

Code:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/project-neon/ubuntu intrepid main

Then refresh the sources in Adept/Synaptic, and add this package

Code:

kde-nightly

The nightly builds are installed in parallel to KDE 4.1, so nothing gets screwed. And a new .kde-nightly directory is used for the settings, so again, this is a free test drive with no risk :-)

[Fintan]

Today upgrade seems to have solved this issue

[LinuxIsInnovation]

Strange, I still have it:

sayak@MusiK-24x7:~$ sudo apt-get upgrade

Probably amarok-nightly-kdelibs was not updated after 13th Nov

[lmilano]

LII: are you using the hardy, or the intrepid packages? Everything seems smooth in intrepid (or else I was lucky a day ago when I installed it all, including Amarok)

[lmilano]

Sorry, my bad, it turns out I didn't have the Amarok Nightly packages. When I tried to install them, it failed. I'll prolly upgrade all the neon packages next weekend and give Amarok-nightly a new shot. I'd love to see if it is already playing video files ...

Todays upgrade seems to have been extensive.

Lancelot is back, but where has msn in Kopete gone to?

It is still there in kopete on II

[conholster]

Will those packages work on 64bit?

I still can't get Lancelot to show up in the add widgets box...did you do anything special to get it to work (I have a .deb).  Did you compile it from source, and if so, is there anything special (paths, etc)?

thanks!

[lmilano]

I can't see _any_ application in the KMenu (except the favorites), am I the only one? Thanks!

[muzicman0]

yeah, nobody sees applications, that it why I'm trying to get lancelot to work...you can launch via alt-F2.

[toad]

I've got all my apps but there is no lancelot in sight

Apart from that they are coding like like there's no tomorrow
