Aurorae decorations?
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304248

I did a crash report and added it to Bug 304340 – segfault on exiting cube effect
can I add the patch to Aurorae in KDE-4.9.00 and if so can you explain how ?

[vinnywright]

he he I hope this will work as I'm running it now "git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kde-workspace" we will see

Sure, but note that it takes a looong time to compile kde-workspace
First, you need to get sources of kde-workspace:

wget https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports/+files/kde-workspace_4.9.0.orig.tar.xz
wget https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports/+files/kde-workspace_4.9.0-0ubuntu1%7Eprecise1%7Eppa2.debian.tar.gz
wget https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-ppa/+archive/backports/+files/kde-workspace_4.9.0-0ubuntu1%7Eprecise1%7Eppa2.dsc

then:

dpkg-source -x kde-workspace_4.9.0-0ubuntu1~precise1~ppa2.dsc
cd kde-workspace-4.9.0
nano debian/changelog

change the line that says precise1~ppa2 to precise1~ppa3

nano debian/patches/series

at the end, add kde-workspace-a.diff
place attached file (rename it to kde-workspace-a.diff) in debian/patches folder

sudo apt-get build-dep kde-workspace
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b

kde-workspace-a.txt

[sumski]

If you do clone of that repo, you'll build master!
Tip for shortening build time:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~schumsk....9/revision/14
disable buicding kwin-active

[vinnywright]

OK then ....building.....6% as of now

VINNY

EDDIT oops dident see the last post about shortening build time .....O well so far it's working I guess 11% now

[vinnywright]

well it all built ....got a bunch of warnings about "cant extract name and version from " and it was for what looked like everything .
but it installed fine (sudo dpkg -i *.deb ran from in ~/build((which is ware I put the wget-files)) and is working ok ........BUT still no shade unshade on wheel event
it was fun building it though

Did you re-login? Also, you didn't install all packages? Cause some conflict with other (kwin-active ones), just install those you had before.
That warning's OK, it just means the library doesn't have version (ie. 4.9, or 0.4.1 , or whatever)

oops yes I installed all that were in ~/build ..........and yes I actually rebooted

should I remove some

VINNY

[sumski]

I would remove, both from installation, and build folder, at least:

kde-window-manager-active
kde-window-manager-active-gles
libkwinactiveeffects1abi4
libkwinactiveglesutils1
libkwinactiveglutils1abi1
libkwinactivenvidiahack4

and then re-install remaining packages. If your issue persist after that, be sure to report a bug about it, it'll get fixed in no time i'm sure

[vinnywright]

cube crash was due to the desktop name not being displayed .....adding it back and no more crash .....supposed to be being fixed.

just got 247 new updates from backports will see if anything comes of it

VINNY

[vinnywright]

nope the 247 new updates didn’t fix the no mouse wheel events on Aurorae decorations ....but it did over rite all the packages I had compiled and installed so all back to the
kubuntu-ppa/backport's now ......I think (still checking)

submitted bug for Aurorae decorations no mouse wheel event https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=304527

I've uploaded kde-workspace with the fix, and also remaining (most of) final 4.9
