KDE 4 again
 

After reading last month's thread on kde-4 I decided to have a go, but I
wanted a separate setup for simplicity. So I built a basic system from
2007.0 on a new partition and installed the first few kde-4 packages
(startkde, kdm, konsole and a few others).

Now I want to submit a bug report, but are the Gentoo devs happy to receive
these yet, since kde-4 is not officially released?

The problem I have is that kdm fails on startup. I get the root console back
after much longer than if the nvidia driver had aborted, and this
in /var/log/messages:

Feb 5 15:48:22 wstn kdm: :0[4043]: Received unknown or unexpected
command -2 from greeter
Feb 5 15:48:22 wstn kdm: :0[4043]: Abnormal termination of greeter for
display :0, code 125, signal 0

Anyone any ideas?

kde-4 IS released. What do you think kde.org did on 11 Jan?

There are kde4 ebuilds in the OFFICIAL portage tree but hard-masked.
That means the devs want a certain class of user to use them, and
submit bugs - why else put them there?

Submit a bug at b.g.o. as normal. The worst that can happen is that
jakub will trash them WONTFIX.

Or you could submit the bug at the kde overlay bugzilla:

OK, I will - thanks. I was feeling inhibited by the virtual lack of other
bugs there, where I'd expected to see hundreds.

did you try 4.0.0 or 4.0.1? I think the newer is hardmasked by now, or
at least it should be soon (but I don't use it, so I don't know for
sure. It's not in my tree yet anyway)

This is 4.0.0. I don't think 4.0.1 has had a chance to work its way through
to Gentoo release yet.

It is in portage by now, hardmasked like 4.0.0. It depends on
libspectre which, in turn, depends on a newer ghostscript. That
dependency is missing. So manually emerge ghostscript-8.61 and
everything should be fine. If you have to switch from ghostscript-esp
to ghostscript-gpl, you probably need to run revdep-rebuild.
