Re: Lancelot

Lanacelot is shown on widgets, but when i add it, it is not recognised.

Do you get black dot (when dropping Lancelot to the desktop) ?


Here with the Intrepid Ibex, Lancelot 1.0.2 svn859481:

cmake ..
make
sudo make install

does not install

/usr/lib/liblancelot.so.0.5.0
/usr/lib/liblancelot.so.0
/usr/lib/liblancelot.so
/usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_lancelot_part.so
/usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_lancelot_launcher.so
/usr/bin/lancelot

They are compiled but the installation part is flawed. install_manifest.txt shows that everything else is installed OK. Workaround that is working here, is to manually drag and drop those bits to the right place. That is

liblancelot.so.0.5.0, liblancelot.so.0, liblancelot.so
from buildpath+/lib to /usr/lib

plasma_applet_lancelot_part.so, plasma_applet_lancelot_launcher.so
from buildpath+/lib to /usr/lib/kde4

lancelot (executable)
from buildpath+/app/src to /usr/bin

After this Lancelot 1.0.2 is working OK.

It seems that Cmake is making broken Makefile, maybe it is this with the Ibex:

This is an alpha/beta/rc (pre-) release. Pre-release versions of programs are NOT encouraged for anyone needing a stable system or for anyone who is not comfortable running into occasional, even frequent, breakage

Re: Lancelot

That problem have arisen when KDE switched to CMake 2.6 so I blame that entirely

Yes. It worked copying those files. Thanks!!

Re: Lancelot

BTW, the http://lancelot.fomentgroup.org/faq#menu-no-applets contains the easier way that should work... or at least did work for all that had the same problem in the past.

Re: Lancelot

Now available in the Hardy repos... (version 1.0.0, not the latest)

Thanks Czessi!

sudo apt-get install plasmoid-lancelot

And works perfectly, btw, except for a minor error in icon choice when scrolling the columns back over to the left (using the no-click interface), it shows the "play" button, which is not intuitive (but hardly a bug).

Edit: ok, after a little more thought, perhaps the "play" icon is better/correct, since it shows a function is being performed...

Re: Lancelot

1.0.3 is now available for hardy (in the repos).

Re: Lancelot

And unfortunately the latest updates in Intrepid seem to have broken 1.0.3, at least for me. It won't open and I always get this line in syslog, three times:

lancelot[8202]: segfault at 51 ip 080616c6 sp bfa5b7c0 error 6 in lancelot[8048000+40000]

$ apt-cache policy plasmoid-lancelot

I have this same problem with segfault in Lancelot, after latest updates.

In addition I have the other problem mentioned, where Lancelot opens .desktop files in Kate instead of launching the application. (I actually have TWO icons for each application, one of which works and one of which opens in Kate.) Incidentally, I don't have two of each icon listed using KDE's default application launcher.

Recent kubuntu plasma updates don't seem to be lancelot compatible (or the other way around), the bug has been reported and confirmed: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...ot/+bug/279105

This seems to happen when you have KDE3 programs installed (There are some installed by default on 8.10). These programs have two icons in lancelot, only one of which is working. It's probably related to showing both the KDE3 and KDE4 .desktop files. I haven't dug any deeper into it, as the problem is likely to fix itself when the remaining apps are ported to KDE4.

Re: Lancelot

Rebuilding from source fixed it here. I still have the "The file /home/user/kde/xxx.desktop" problem (kate gives that message when I click on some menu entries).

Yup, there's also a rebuilt version available from the repos.

Have you found a fix for this yet? It doesn't happen with the default Launcher menu.

Re: Lancelot

The latest kdelibs updates seem to fix the duplicate item issue in Lancelot.

Re: Lancelot

I can confirm that here. The only remaining problem is a somewhat slow first time loading (but I am using a Aspire One).

Re: Lancelot

Looking very sexy.
Thank you

One question:
How can I point contacts to:
TB+lightning (spicebird) and pidgin respectively?

I don't use Kontact or kopete
