New Splash

New Kwindow decorations - Rally Stripes ?

Krunner is starting in the compact mode - only the cli line.

kdesudo kate/dolphin/systemsettings are working. (with the link: /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu -> /usr/bin/kdesudo)



KDE can't restore klipper

There are overlapping in the kdepackages:

E: /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.0.83-0ubuntu1_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/doc/kde4/HTML/en/kcontrol/kwindecoration/index.cache.bz2', which is also in package kdebase-runtime-data
E: /var/cache/apt/archives/kdebase-workspace-data_4%3a4.0.83-0ubuntu1_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/doc/kde4/HTML/en/kcontrol/autostart/index.cache.bz2', which is also in package kdebase-runtime-data

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Dear rog I am a very big newbe and want to learn so could you explain what this means:

kdesudo kate/dolphin/systemsettings are working. (with the link: /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu -> /usr/bin/kdesudo)

Or rather how to make this work?

This has me baffled as well:

Please explain.

Thank you for your patience

Heh


What i was trying to tell:

Earlier Fintan told:

Edit:
after todays update (interpid):
no kdesudo kate (konqueror, systemsettings,etc)
kdesudo /usr/lib/kde4/bin/systemsettings

or

kdesudo /usr/bin/systemsettings

don't work either.

So i'm trying to tell that, here with KDE 4.1 Beta 2:

ALT + F2 and then: kdesudo kate or kdesudo konqueror or kdesudo dolphin are working.


That "with the link: /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu -> /usr/bin/kdesudo" is a brain fart. I have a symbolic link (symlink) /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu -> /usr/bin/kdesudo. So when KDE is trying to use kdesu it is using kdesudo instead.


When i was installing/upgrading kde-window-manager and kdebase-workspace-data, package manager (synaptic) told that it can do that. Package contains parts that are already installed from the kdebase-runtime-data.

You can force installation => That link, how i'm using dpkg to force package installation.


Example:

Forcing kde-window-manager installation

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.0.83-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Package is in the /var/cache/apt/archives. Package managers ( FAQ: Package Managers ) first download all packages to the /var/cache/apt/archives.

using force-all option:
man dpkg:

Warning: These options are mostly intended to be used by experts only. Using them without fully understanding their effects may break your whole system.

all: Turns on (or off) all force options.

That expert warning => before you use force: man dpkg or/and man:dpkg (konqueror) and think twice.


Output of that command:

(Reading database ... 174661 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to replace kde-window-manager 4:4.0.80-1ubuntu4 (using .../kde-window-manager_4%3a4.0.83-0ubuntu1_i386.deb) ...

Note

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Thank you rog.

That is helpfull.

I did an update just now and almost everything went well except for:

Setting up openvpn (2.1~rc7-4build1) ...
* Starting virtual private network daemon.invoke-rc.d: initscript openvpn, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing openvpn (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of network-manager-openvpn:
network-manager-openvpn depends on openvpn; however:
Package openvpn is not configured yet.
dpkg: error processing network-manager-openvpn (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
openvpn
network-manager-openvpn
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
fredh1@fredcomp:~$

So after your last post:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/kde-window-manager_4%3a4.0.83-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

do I do?:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/network-manager-openvpn_4%3a4.0.83-0ubuntu1_i386.deb

Edit:
I just relogged in and like the changes in style but :
kdesudo systemsettings / kate / konqueror still don't work.

Is that because of the above?

I did the symbolic linking :

sudo mv /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu_original

sudo ln -s /usr/bin/kdesudo /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesukdesudo systemsettingskdesudo systemsettings

before upgrading.

Klipper still does not like the systray.

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

do I do?:

sudo dpkg -i --force-all ...

I would not - note that my error was:

...trying to overwrite ... which is also in package...

What happens, if you try to reinstall openvpn ?

Your error is:

...network-manager-openvpn depends on openvpn; however:
Package openvpn is not configured yet.

That symlink should help to the "KDE is trying to use KDE su not kdesudo and needs root password . It is not set => wrong password error. > More of the kdesu / kdesudo

[Fredh]

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Thank you again

did:

fredh1@fredcomp:~$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all ...
[sudo] password for fintan1:
dpkg: error processing ... (--install):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing:
...
fredh1@fredcomp:~$

What now?

Edit:
Well i found one mistake:
sudo dpkg -i --force-all ...

Thats what one gets when copy / pasting

did:

fredh1@fredcomp:~$ sudo dpkg -i --force-all
dpkg: --install needs at least one package archive file argument

Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages[*];

Now I am lost :P

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

What happens, if you try to reinstall openvpn ?

That is: Start synaptic > Search openvpn > Mark for Reinstallation > Apply

[Fredh]

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Okay that gives me:

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

And if you run in the konsole:

sudo apt-get -f install

Is it helping ?

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Checking bug reports:

Bugs in openvpn in ubuntu
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openvpn/+bugs


There is:
Bug #241550 in openvpn (Ubuntu)
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...pn/+bug/241550

package openvpn 2.1~rc7-4build1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

It seems that this is known bug and hopefully it is soon fixed

[Fredh]

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

Okay.

According to this:
http://openvpn.net/

I don't really need it.

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

As of tonight's updates, running Compiz will break the KDM display, by launching it with either the Fusion Icon, or in the Konsole with

compiz --replace

Actually, running

kwin --replace

in the Konsole breaks the display also.

So, whatever default KDE desktop comes up is what you will live with, for now.

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

I have had no klipper in the systray on either hh remix kde4.1 beta2 or intrepid pre-alpha and decided since I have some time and intrepid offered an update for klipper-kde4 today (with no change), I would do some looking around.

klipper.desktop with HH remix is in:
/usr/lib/kde4/share/autostart

/usr/share/autostart

and a look inside gives this:

Exec=klipper
Icon=klipper
Type=Application
X-DocPath=klipper/index.html
Terminal=false
X-KDE-autostart-after=panel
X-KDE-StartupNotify=false
X-DBUS-StartupType=Unique
X-KDE-Library=klipper_panelapplet
X-KDE-UniqueApplet=true
X-KDE-autostart-condition=klipperrc:General:AutoStart:true
OnlyShowIn=KDE;
Categories=Qt;KDE;Utility;X-KDE-Utilities-Desktop;
NoDisplay=true
Comment=A cut & paste history utility
Comment[af]='n Knip & plak geskiedenis program

klipper.desktop with Intrepid is in:

/usr/share/autostart

and shows the same.

I am just wondering if there is something I can edit here to get klipper starting up again
and showng itself in the systray at log in.

Edit:
the strange thing is that it works on the neon-nightly build installed parallel to HH remix kde4 beta2
klipper.desktop is in:

/opt/kde-nightly/share/applications/kde4/

and reads the same as above.

Re: KDE 4.1 - Now

I put klipper.desktop here to get it to load for me:

/home/username/.kde4/Autostart

Haven't had issues yet!
