KDE SC 4.5.1 packages available
 

Hello,

Semi-official KDE SC 4.5.1 packages are now available at
http://qt-kde.debian.net/. Enjoy!

Unfortunately not all of the packages are ready yet, so you may notice
that some things are missing. The missing source packages at the
moment are kdeaccessibility, kdeadmin, kdegames, kdemultimedia,
kdebindings, kdetoys, kdewebdev and kde-l10n as well as meta-kde (the
kde-standard and misc metapackages). Despite this, you can upgrade
everything else just fine from your existing KDE SC 4.4.5 using the
instructions given on that site.

Once all the packages are prepared and working, we plan to release
them to Debian experimental. Until then, any updates or new prepared
packages will go to this repository.

We appologize for the long delay since 4.5.0 was released, but I hope
you understand the reasons behind this (getting squeeze ready, work,
real life, summer vacations, few active people in the team, etc...)

To all the people out there that offered to help: We appreciate your
offer and we appologise for the lack of proper documentation.
Packaging KDE SC is not an easy task and newcomers are usually advised
to try packaging something smaller first, like something from
kde-apps.org. We will try to make things better in the future, by
documenting better our workflows and policies. If you still would like
to help, as you can see, there is still work to do. Besides packaging,
there are other things you could do, such as update copyright files
(which I find easier, but more time-consuming).

Best regards,
George


PS: Please read well the instructions and please report packaging bugs
only here and on irc, not on the debian bug tracking system. Thanks in
advance.

Just finished installing it and things already feel faster (could just be placebo effect...) - thanks for your great work!

Nice :-)

After playing with it for 1/2 hour (and rollback to unstable ;-)
I have seen the following problems:

- digikam from unstable crashes (the kde term for "crash" should be "krash"
imho ;-) on startup.
- marble (from 4.5.1) crashes on startup too.

Dietz

WOW! Thanks a lot. Installing currently. The following packages are to be
removed:

- kdebluetooth
- kappfinder
- plasma-widget-smooth-tasks

Nothing too serious. ;-)

I like that Digikam and Amarok remain installable.

Thanks a lot for your efforts.

I wonder about ATI Radeon related issues:

http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE#KDE_4.5_specific_graphics.27_issues

http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2010/09/driver-dilemma-in-kde-
workspaces-4-5/

Let's see. I am using Radeon DRM/KMS already. Just in case it maybe is
enough to deactivate the blur and/or the lanczos filter.

No need to apologize. You are doing *great* work. Thanks a lot.

I will use KDE SC 4.5.1 on my laptop, and continue to use KDE 4.4.5 on my
workstation so that both will get some test coverage.

Ciao,

kdebluetooth is deprecated, even if you are on 4.4.5, I strongly
suggest that you remove it and install bluedevil. I am going to
provide a transitional package as well very soon.

This is also deprecated, it has been removed from upstream sources.

> - plasma-widget-smooth-tasks

I had no idea this one was packaged. I'll see if I can rebuild it.

I am also using Radeon with KMS and I haven't noticed any serious
problems. It feels like it did in 4.4.5. However, I must say I am
using mesa 7.9-git, not the one in the debian archive.

George

Marble seems to work just fine here. I'll check digikam as well... Do
you have any backtraces?

Just installed it and run into an issue. Solved it, but I want to
share the solution, because I could not find any with google.

After logging in everything looked good (plasma desktop was
initialized), but the panel was missing. After some examination it
turned out, that it is just hidden - notifications appeared in the
upper left corner of the desktop. Tried to find some way to move back
the panel into view, but there was no GUI way for that.

In the end I have just stopped the plasma with kquitapp
plasma-desktop, edited the configuration
.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc and restarted
plasma-desktop. I had to find the containment where plugin=panel and
change the screen value from -1 to 0.

I suppose all this happened to me because I was experimenting with
attaching a projector as a second screen.

Hope this helps somebody.

Regards,
Zsolt

Marble crashes on startup for me too. Here is a backtrace:

It is a segfault.

Not sure how did glib get into this backtrace :) I don't have time to
now to try to find out.
BTW which version of Qt are you using? My Qt version is 4:4.6.3-1+b1
and libglib2.0-0 2.24.1-1. I can try some other versions if needed.

Zsolt
