Re: Project Neon

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/195122...TOBUILD.txt.gz

but that doesn't help much.

Any ideas?

Re: Project Neon

Thank you for the response.

Well at least I am not alone

I tried again today with the same result.

Re: Project Neon

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:

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

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

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 :-)

Re: Project Neon

Today upgrade seems to have solved this issue

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

Re: Project Neon

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]

Re: Project Neon

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 ...

Re: Project Neon

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]

Re: Project Neon

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!

Re: Project Neon

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

[muzicman0]

Re: Project Neon

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

Re: Project Neon

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
