KDE and GNOME?

Hi everyone
Because KDE can be quite moany, is there a way to install both KDE and GNOME, but keep them kinda isolated from each other?
If that makes no sense (doesn't to me), I mean, like install both, but keep each other's apps and applets out of the way (like, no gnome network applet in KDE, and AWN in gnome but not KDE)
Thanks in advance

You could setup a dual-boot system, one Arch install with Gnome, and one with KDE. That should keep them pretty well separated if they aren't allowed to share anything but SWAP and your GRUB configuration file.

KDE and GNOME install no found smbclient from all mirrors?

I met this issue when try to install KDE and GNOME. It is not found even in Arch's ftp and many mirrors.
Who can help me this?
Thanks in advance,
Mike

do pacman -Sy before. smbclient was updated yesterday and maybe you forgot to sync the database.

How to install KDE and Gnome

Normally I'm a big KDE user, but there are some things in GNOME I want to try out to see if I might make the switch. I already have KDE installed, if I wanted the option to run KDE or GNOME can I just 'sudo pacman -S gnome gnome-extras' and it'll show up in the session type for kdm?

i run gnome BUT like a bunch of kde programs
so both are installed
kde dose have a tendency to reset the "open with" defaults
then there is an option in kdm to run gnome,kde, or other
so it is not a problem at all , you might need to re set the "open with" defaults but that is about it.

KDE and Gnome Integration (It only took a decade)

I'm sure that of all you know about Gtk-Qt, which will soon have a Qt4 stable version. But, some of us, including me, has been hopping for a Qt-Gtk for a while, which will make KDE applications blend into the Gnome desktop. Many of us use Amarok. It's not called Gtk-Qt, but it's coming. It's called QGtkStyle, made by Trolltech, and it is available as a Qt 4.4 plugin. KDE 4.1 is based on Qt 4.4. Qt 4.4 is not only proving cross-platform, but also cross-desktop.

Why KDE programs run faster on KDE and slower on GNOME?

Hello, I have a doubt:
When I run KDE programs on gnome (kaffeine, amarok... in general programs that uses the kdelibs), they take 4 or 5 seconds aproximately to run, and in KDE, they run in only 1 second. But gnome programs run on KDE and GNOME at the same speed.
What's the reason for this difference?
Greetings

And what programs I need to run if I want to preload all the services for KDE in gnome? Only kdeinit? or there are more programs?

KDE (or GNOME?) non-latin chars input problem

After recent upgrade (pacman -Syu) can't anymore type non-latin characters in GNOME apps (like gEdit, Evolution, Thunderbird etc.) under KDE. Openoffice is still OK.
Keyboard layout switching works (can see the difference between US and GB layouts, but when switching to non-latin layouts getting latin chars instead of non-latin.
In KDE apps everything is fine.
Have current KDE and GNOME installed.
BTW, when trying to run Epiphany web browser (under KDE again) getting error message (not sure but maybe this is related to the first problem):
"Could not start GNOME Web Browser
Startup failed because of the following error:
Unable to determine the address of the message bus (try 'man
dbus-launch' and 'man dbus-daemon' for help)"
Have dbus in DAEMONS line in rc.conf.
Any suggestions?

Fixed first problem... rollback of inputproto and libxi did the trick (not sure how safe it was).
scarecrow, thank you for your reply but it didn't help for the second problem. Changed DAEMONS to hal only, added dbus-python and even dbus-sharp (just in case, all other dbus related stuff was already there) but - no luck. Perhaps dbus-1.0 might be a solution who knows.
Thanks anyway.

Can't install KDE or GNOME from pacman

When I try to install KDE or GNOME from pacman, the system downloads most or all of the files, from what I can see, and then returns a bunch of errors of the form "gcc-libs: /usr/lib/libssp.so exists in filesystem". I'd post the entirety of the messages, but I can't figure out how to pipe output from pacman without making it impossible to enter "yes" at the install prompt. This problem occurs with both kde and gnome, and from what I can tell it looks like basically the same set of errors with either one.

What does "pacman -Qo /usr/lib/libssp.so" say? It should say gcc-libs and not gcc. I'm guessing you have just installed. Have you done a "pacman -Syu"? The gcc package was split into gcc and gcc-libs.
In fact it looks remarkably similar to this" http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=37690

KDE or Gnome in Virtualbox = sporadic mouse activity

Virtualbox 4.1.18
Arch installed as Guest
Tried with both KDE and Gnome
Mouse is acting sporadic. In Gnome, just moving the mouse triggers the hot corner. In KDE, any click & drag activity leads to random results like window resizing or randomly moving the windows.
Any thoughts?

Welcome to Arch.

There's the problem. Use the wiki. As that guide notes, it is unlikely to be as current as Arch's documentation. Arch changes quickly - a lot happens in 6 months, or 11.

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce?

What's the difference between gnome, kde and xfce? Today I heard someone said gnome and kde have more software than xfce. Is that real?
Thank you.

Its really a matter of taste, really. KDE is know to be configurable like hell, GNOME very easy to use, and XFCE lightweitgh.
Keep in mind that whatever desktop environment (DE) you choose, you can use any application in any DE. For example, firefox, a "GTK" application, works without problem under KDE. Or Kile, a latex front-end for KDE, works perfect under Gnome.
Personnally I prefer KDE. But I mostly prefer KDE applications like the editors (Kate/Kwrite) and file manager (dolphin).
KDE is slower to start on my EeePC (really small machine) but because it is full featured, I can cut on number of packages installed, so in the end, with the same functionality, I have more room on my disk then using XFCE!
Just try them, and choose the one you like

Rendering of fonts in kde 4 and gnome 2.24 [SOLVED]

Dear all,
I have been trying to set up fonts in my system so that gnome and kde applications look the same. I failed. I read the relevant post in these very forums, but the person that proposes the solution does not use autohinter and I do, so I cannot apply his solution. Anyway, the problem is that the spacing of letters using the same font is different in kde and gtk. For example, for the word "file" in the menubar, the F and the I and the L are closer together in GTK than in Qt. I wish I could post a screenshot.
I am using the ubuntu patches. Here is my /etc/fonts/conf.d
10-antialias.conf
10-autohint.conf
10-hinting-full.conf
10-hinting.conf
10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf
11-lcd-filter-lcddefault.conf
20-fix-globaladvance.conf
20-unhint-small-vera.conf
29-replace-bitmap-fonts.conf
30-metric-aliases.conf
30-urw-aliases.conf
40-nonlatin.conf
45-latin.conf
49-sansserif.conf
50-user.conf
51-local.conf
52-languageselector.conf
53-monospace-lcd-filter.conf
60-latin.conf
65-fonts-persian.conf
65-nonlatin.conf
69-unifont.conf
80-delicious.conf
90-synthetic.conf
My .fonts.conf is empty. I have a .Xresources file:
Xft.hintstyle: hintfull
Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.autohinting: 1
Xft.dpi: 100
Xft.rgba: rgb
Xft.lcdfilter: lcddefault
that I merge with the command xrdb when X starts.
Does anyone have an idea what could be different in the Gnome and KDE setups?
Thanks for your help

Dear All, after a long search I finally found a very accettable configuration.
First of all patched cairo using the cairo-resepect-fontconfig patch from brebs
then I applied the following patches to Qt 4.4.3:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour … bug/217729
finally I chose the following configuration:
Autohint: yes
Hinting: yes
Hintstyle: hintmedium
Lcdfilter: lcddefault (I have the Ubuntu packages installed)
Rgba: rgb
Antialiasing: yes
Now my fonts in Qt and GTK look much more similar (not perfectly identical, but good enough!)
Thanks to anyone who helped

[SOLVED] After upgrade gdm and Gnome don't work.

Hi,
after I did an upgrade I had some ldconfig: errors and fixed them all using pkgfile and reinstallation of quite some packages.
But now starting gdm with
# systemctl start gdm
only leads to a black screen with a cross shaped cursor I can move. Nothing more.
Xorg works -- I'm writing this post from KDE.
I reinstalled gnome and gnome-extra. Still no success.
System is up to date.
Hopefully my logs will help, I have no idea what to do. Thanks for any help. :)

Finally managed fixed it.
libcanberra-pulse from [extra] was broken. I reinstalled it with --force.
Likely that came with the recent pulseaudio upgrade.

No TV sound - Problem with Pulseaudio and Gnome

Hi Community!
Since January 2013 I got big problems with the sound of my tvcard. The card is a Sundtek Media TV Pro. But after all the problems have nothing to to with the card itself!
So far I found out, that the problem is with Pulseaudio.
- Sound works under Windows on same PC.
- Sound don't work under Arch - not with tvtime, not with vlc, etc.
- Problem occurs even on a new installed system with the Arch-2013-02-01 install medium.
cat /etc/mediasrv.log
[1033] Pulseaudio connect reported an error (6 - Connection refused)
[1033] select error() in audio processor (can be caused because of pulseaudio) (Interrupted system call)
After setting up a new Arch installation with just xorg-server, gnome, tvtime and the sundtek driver from AUR I run journalctl -b:
Feb 10 16:25:15 hightower pulseaudio[636]: [pulseaudio] pid.c:
Daemon already running.
With sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 16:2' I get the following output:
Feb 10 16:25:01 hightower rtkit-daemon[489]: Successfully made thread 488 of process 488 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.

Feb 10 16:28:55 hightower pulseaudio[997]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Start des Daemons fehlgeschlagen.
So, if I understand right, pulseaudio is alreade started by the rtkit-daemon and gnome couldn't start it again.
At https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30926 I found a hint concerning /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop and /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop.
After removing them from /etc/xdg/autostart and running journalctl -b there are no more errors.
With sudo journalctl | grep 'pulseaudio' I get:
sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 17:4' | grep 'pulse*'
Feb 10 17:41:42 hightower rtkit-daemon[485]: Successfully made thread 484 of process 484 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.

In my opinion all looks ok! I also checked the channels with the alsamixer and it looks good, too.
So I ran vlc v4l2://:dev=/dev/video0:width=720:height=576:tuner-frequency=510750:adev=/dev/null:standard=255 - but still no sound.
With cat /var/log/mediasrv.log I checked the drivers logfile:

I started tvtime again. This time I ran rm -rf ~/.config/pulse/ and killall pulseaudio to kill the Pulseaudio server. I instantly got a loud noise out of my speakers.
I closed tvtime and re-opened it. And there it was: TV SOUND OUT OF MY SPEAKERS!
But now, when I run pavucontrol I get:
Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s.
In this cas this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 root Windows Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured.
This situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Windows.
If this is the case, then PuseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you sould run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.
I got the information from Sundtek, that Pulseaudio should not be started as system service. Instead, every user should have an own Pulseaudio daemon and that PA was concepted this way. But they don't know how it is implemented in ArchLinux.
I also don't know it exactly. So the question to all you ArchLinu pro's:
How is PA implemented in Arch? And how can I sustainable solve my problem?
Thank you for your time and help!

There is just one more thing I found out.
After logging into Gnome and running ps aux | grep pulse I get:
rebel 727 0.7 0.2 444316 10288 ? S<l 03:02 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog
rebel 731 0.0 0.0 71236 2652 ? S 03:02 0:00 /usr/lib/pulse/gconf-helper
rebel 843 0.0 0.0 17396 1184 pts/0 D+ 03:03 0:00 grep pulse
To get the sound to work I run:
rm -rf .config/pulse/
killall pulseaudio
killall -9 pulseaudio
I again run ps aux | grep pulse
rebel 4016 4.2 0.2 510124 11528 ? Sl 03:06 0:02 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

rebel 4046 0.0 0.0 19456 1216 pts/0 R+ 03:07 0:00 grep pulse
I can recognize that the STATs have changed. Maybe this can help to solve the problem?

[SOLVED] Problem witch qt4 , KDE and startx

Hi!
With the recent update of qt4 i had a problem to start X session.
First, i update all with pacman -Syu (qt4 to 4.8.4-11), and then update only qt4 to 4.8.4-12.
A few hours i have a problem to start KDE and show me a message:
Could not start d-bus. Can you call qdbus?
After trying to use the following command:
xinit steam -- :1
and to my surprise, run KDE without problems, but with xinitrc exec startkde and startx it continues equal

gnome-session, startkde and startxfce4 will start a D-Bus session automatically if one is not already running. The skeleton file for ~/.xinitrc (/etc/skel/.xinitrc) will do the same. Make sure that your ~/.xinitrc is based on the skeleton file /etc/skel/.xinitrc.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/D-Bus
So...
$ cat /etc/skel/.xinitrc
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
# exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
... because ...
$ ls /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/
30-dbus 40-libcanberra-gtk-module xdg-user-dirs
That's why dbus is not started.
EDIT:
As a side note: I strongly suggest using KDM in your case. You can create a session file only for steam and switch to a seperate session with only steam from inside KDE. This will also stop KDE from running, when all you want is steam.

What's the difference between reguler KDE and KDEmod?

Hello all,
In two weeks I get my new laptop, which will be capable of running Arch and KDE ( as my current computer isn't, somehow it only runs Fedora w/ Gnome)
Since I really like Arch and already got it working on Virtualbox, I want to install it on my new laptop. I'd like to get it working with KDE, but I noticed Arch also has KDEmod. I already searched the forums but couldn't really find an answer to my question: What is the difference between regular KDE and KDEmod and which one is better for me to use?
Thanks in advance!

Allan, i forgive you for your poor paragraph construction and sorry for me being a bit peeved
However, i know you have read more from the IRC log than just that one sentence by me...

From the IRC log, I do not think that conclusion is too far off, especially if you are considering Arch-Stable as your base... So saying "plain wrong" seems... well... plain wrong. Especially given the irc log:
<funkyou> in one sentence: to do what we really want to do, we need a stable platform.
So why not showing the whole picture and clear this up:
<funkyou> ok, to start: i think at least some of you have noticed that arch linux is a fine platform for what we want to deliver, but there are some little "annoyances"
<funkyou> mainly:
<funkyou> -.so bumps every few weeks
<funkyou> -the general "freshness"
<funkyou> -a lot of manual interaction needed (sometimes)
<funkyou> everyone can see these problems when looking at the forums, _most_ of them are related to updates
<funkyou> in one sentence: to do what we really want to do, we need a stable platform.
Makes more sense now? Its not that Arch is too unstable, its just that we cant keep up will all the changes... And this is not Archs "fault" nor anyone elses fault, its just going too fast for us. Most annoying or severe bugs in our tools are there due to upstream updates. And the reasons are not really the .so bumps (which are mostly solved by a simple rebuild) but also constantly changing apis and stuff. This is not a big problem in KDE (they keep their apis clean), but a big one when it comes to other stuff like parted, to give an example. And this is our main problem, we need to constantly adapt our code to upstream changes.
This even resulted in a repo with modified or "frozen" Arch packages just to keep our liveCD going, and now we are looking for solutions for this problem, and "stable" snapshots seem to be one way... Oh, and if we would do this (there is nothing announced yet), we would do our own snapshot every X months because ArchStable seems to be a dead project. We also considered cooperating with the ArchServer guys, but their stuff is really made for servers, so even while their project is really nice its not really an option for us.
Well, we'll see what we will do during the next months, now we are still testing and evaluating some solutions... Oh, and people, please stop any "we dont need another ubuntu" complaints...

Cant launch KDE or Gnome

Hi,
As im using fluxbox, and i like it, i really didnt care much about those two, at least not about using them in this distro, but i have finally decided to give them a go, but i cant make them work and i dont know why.
I looked at my .xinitrc and it had the opcions (preseted and preceded with #) for other WM like enlightenment or windowmaker or blackbox.
but there was no one for kde or gnome, so i tryed startkde and gnomesession and several more, but i couldnt get it working...
How should i launch KDE or Gnome on Arch? i used all the commands i use in MDK and it didnt work.
thanks in advance.

once you get in, you can add all the different wm's and de's to your login screen by editing your sessions tab in the control center in kde under system administration-login manager.
btw, if you have kde installed, try typing kdm, see if that brings up your login screen. if you don't have kdm, you can get it with pacman.

KDE and GNOME?
