Re: Jaunty Release Schedule, Plans, KDE 4.2

As to the statement in KDE 4.2 Released (Kubuntu):

"Old Plasma packages are not compatible with KDE 4.2, you should uninstall any plasmoids."

Should they be uninstalled via the package manager (Adept or Synaptic), or just by removing them via Add Widgets > -

Adept Manager shows (on a search of plasmoid) the following packages as installed:

plasmoid-quickaccess
plasmoid-lancelot

Add Widgets shows the following widgets in use:

Application Launcher
Digital Clock
Konsole Profiles Applet
Lancelot Launcher
New Device Notifier
Pager
Quick Access
Show Dashboard
System Tray
Task Manager
Trashcan

Thank you.

I just closed them down, so that they are not running (Add Widgets >-).

Then i did a

sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and

The following packages will be upgraded:
plasmoid-playwolf plasmoid-quickaccess plasmoid-rememberthemilk
plasmoid-spellcheck plasmoid-toggle-compositing...
...plasmoid-adjustableclock plasmoid-cashew-off plasmoid-embed-win plasmoid-lastmoid

Adept Manager shows (on a search of plasmoid) the following packages as installed:

plasmoid-quickaccess
plasmoid-lancelot

Add Widgets shows the following widgets in use:

Application Launcher
Digital Clock
Konsole Profiles Applet
Lancelot Launcher
New Device Notifier
Pager
Quick Access
Show Dashboard
System Tray
Task Manager
Trashcan

There are plasmoids that are part of the KDE release:

- package: kdebase-plasma
- package: kdeplasma-addons
- package: kdeplasma-addons-data

Plasmoids from the KDE packages have always the right version.


and then there are plasmoids from the single packages:

- package: plasmoid-adjustableclock
- package: plasmoid-memusage
- ...

Those can have the wrong version, before they are compiled against correct libplasma-dev.


Hmm - Lancelot is now part of the KDE:

kdeplasma-addons
plasmoids for KDE 4 Plasma - main package
...(installed files)...
/usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_lancelot_launcher.so
/usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_lancelot_part.so
...

Do you have two versions installed ?

Yea! It's Here! I know what I'll be doing today! Did they fix the issue with Kopete and MSN?

Yes, the latest kopete should bring in libmsn0.1. Note that you probably need to readd your account to kopete (the protocol is called WLM instead of the old MSN)

Re: Jaunty Release Schedule, Plans, KDE 4.2

yippee , reset my pen drive to running 4.2 right now...even works on work pc...yippee times 2!

Yep.. Just did all of that. One note. I have a bunch of Plasmoids still in the list of useable but they don't work. They are Luna, Weather and Lacelot. Are those still broken? If so, how do I remove them from the list? I'm not upset that they aren't working, I just want them out of the list until such time they do work.

Re: Jaunty Release Schedule, Plans, KDE 4.2

Not that this thread is the place for this, but WOW. KDE4.2 is sweet! The only thing I've found not the way I had it are my Plasmoids. I can deal for a while. KDE4.2 runs so much smoother than KDE4.1.x.

[Hmm - Lancelot is now part of the KDE:

No, just one. Synaptic shows it as installed - version 1.0.3~svn860641-0ubuntu2, and it was installed via Synaptic, so good there.

The following packages are identified to be kept back:

gwenview kmahjongg

kmahjongg I can uninstall, but gwenview is part of KDE 4.1.x. Should I have any concern with this?

plasmoid-lancelot is a legacy package that should be removed (lancelot has moved to kdeplasma-addons)

Re: Jaunty Release Schedule, Plans, KDE 4.2

Where can you get a list of what "kdeplasma-addons" has? Laptop still shows my Compositing On/Off while the Desktop doesn't. Also, laptop show Cashew Off and Desktop doesn't. So something is amiss on one of the two.

Before installation

> Ubuntu Packages >> Package: kdeplasma-addons >>> Filelist of package kdeplasma-addons in jaunty of architecture i386


CLI > APT HOWTO
Chapter 5 - Getting information about packages.

5.4 How to discover to which package a file belongs
...
You can also list the contents of a package, by running:

$ apt-file list packagename

apt-file keeps a database of which files all packages contain, just like auto-apt does and it needs to be up-to-date. This is done by running:

# apt-file update

=> Install apt-file /1/
Update/make database:

sudo apt-file update

search:

apt-file search filename

and

apt-file list packagename

After installation

man dpkg

...
dpkg -L | --listfiles package ...
List files installed to your system from package.
..

=>

dpkg -L kdeplasma-addons

Synaptic > Search "kdeplasma-addons" > Right click "kdeplasma-addons" > Properties > Installed Files - tab (The list of installed files is only available for installed packages)



/1/ apt-file. APT package searching utility -- command-line interface
apt-file is a command line tool for searching packages for the APT
packaging system.

Unlike apt-cache, you can search in which package a file is included
or list the contents of a package without installing or fetching it.
