Disregard. I figured it out, pacman -Rsc kde did the trick

[SOLVED!] KDE 4.11 - Window Manager seems not to be running?

Greetings,
I still seem unable to fix the fact that systemsettings will run. However it will run if you do kdesu systemsettings.
Doing so I started checking around in it and thought I'd look at the desktop effects, when I was greeted with this:
So, I am guessing that the window borders and buttons are a figment of my imagination....
This is after me pretty much starting over with KDE, removing the .kde and .kde4 folders.
Help?
Edit: That pic seems to not link right. Yay. Basically it says that effects can not be activated or whatever because a window manager seems not to be running. The irony of it is you can see the fact that there are window borders and buttons and such, evidence of a WM...
I wonder if there is something here that is related to me not being able to run systemsettings... yet systemsettings will run fine in any other environment - including Gnome Shell.
Another thing, KDE 4.11 ran great in testing and kde_unstable. Once it went to extra, things happened. I find that odd. Maybe something is missing on my end that most archers already have?
Edit2: fixed image link

No omeringen, Nvidia user.
I can try again Thaodan since I've had some updates come through (and weeded out some dot files). Last time I tried I saw OpenGL 2 selected. Trying to change to 3 or anything else also got the screenshot in my OP.
I'll log into KDE and see if it still does the same, after a brief check for last minute updates.
EDIT: OK, so I can mark this as solved. I found an odd dot file, who's name excapes me but deals with kde sessions, just sitting around in the home folder. Once I deleted it and restarted, I found that not only System Settings finally ran again as a user, but I could also change and apply desktop effects. Peculiar. I thought that maybe it was a dot file that was causing the problem, that wasn't in the .kde or .kde4 folder. It just took finding it and removing it.
I wish I knew more to tell, but this at least solves my issue, and the issue with the non-running-as-user system settings I had posted in another thread (thinking that they were separate events. Thanks again for all your help guys!

(SOLVED) Two KDE Questions

1. How do you enable spell check in Kopete? It does not seem to want to check my spelling after I click the spell button or right click and select auto spell check. I checked my system and I do have aspell installed.
2. How do I get a volume applet on the panel? I have used Kubuntu in the past and there was always a little speaker in the system tray section. This is not present with the current full KDE package which I have installed. How do I add it?
Thank you so much for your help!
Question 2 has been solved. Just start Kmix

[SOLVED] policykit-kde: "grant" button unclickable

hi guys!
i have just installed kde and have a problem with policykit-kde (the policykit configurator). when i attempt to grant a privilege to a user the "grant" button appears greyed out and i can't click it. it happens with any kind of permission. i have googled it but found nothing relevant...
thank you very much,
leo

solved by myself. i assumed root could modify just anything, but the assumption proved wrong. for future reference, one must set the right permissions in /usr/share/PolicyKit/policy/org.freedesktop.policykit.policy to be able to change other policykit privileges.
cheers!

Audacious is not running, or it's not in the process list.
The GTK errors surely won't start it from running, as other GTK apps display that but they still work too. Seems something is going wrong with mowgli, which I have reinstalled.
Just rebooted and tried again, now it's an abort error not a segfault:

Well changing back to my normal theme after starting audacious works. So that's a plus. I still don't get how it affected steam.
Or reinstalling it worked, because now Audacious is starting fine with my normal theme. This is really strange.
Okay I figured out why the errors were showing up in steam. For some reason, steam tries to open audacious as my file manager instead of nemo.

Solved! KDE Device Notifier Never Activates

Sorry for the Newbie question. I'm an old Gentoo user, but new to Arch.
I want KDE to present me with a device notifier pop-up whenever I insert a USB disk. I don't want to automatically mount the device, but I do want to get a notification so that I can mount if if desired.
Currently, dmesg sees the USB disk, and I can manually mount the USB device, but KDE never seems to know the new device is present.
Do I therefore still need to follow the instructions in the udev wiki about auto-mounting?
(https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ud … SB_devices)
Is there some other setting that I may have missed?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I agree, it *should* work out of the box (it always did in Gentoo and Debian).
I figured that maybe Arch just required more configuration than those "other leading brands" of Linux. Of course, I'm just not sure what extra configuration I'm missing <sigh>
Welcome to Arch. How are you starting KDE and could you post the daemons from your rc.conf? I'm running KDE and the device notifier does pop up when inserting a USB or any other device. Are you also saying that it doesn't auto-mount also?
Here's my daemons list, FWIW.

[SOLVED] Unstable KDE and GTK

I'm using KDEmod and it is not as stable as one would have hoped. I think the problem is mainly with GTK since the instability occurs when I use GTK based apps.
If I use Gimp to edit a photo KDE just crashes after I opened 5 or 6 photos, if I use OpenOffice I get really very sluggish performance. If I execute the same tasks in Fluxbox I have no problems, no glitches, nothing.
I came across this bug when I noticed something odd if I left my computer unattended (idle for a while with only Firefox running) and came back to find KDE had crashed. Since then it has happened all too often to not give it some serious thought now.
Could someone give me some advice as to what to reinstall or how to troubleshoot to be sure what the problem is.

[SOLVED] Audacious segfaults after gtk3 3.2.2-1 update

EDIT 2:
Fixed upstream.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=664137
EDIT: Fixed at gtk3 3.2.2-2
Hi,
I realized today that Audacious 3.1-2 started to segfault after the update from gtk3 3.2.1-1 to 3.2.2-1 (Everything pacman -Syyu'ed)
1 - Press 'F' to open Add Files... dialog
2 - Browse arbitrary folders
3 - Segfault after opening 5-6 folders
No problems with playback whatsoever, hence I posted this here.
Going back to gtk3 3.2.1-1 fixes the problem.
No errors reported by audacious.
gdb:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
in g_type_check_instance_is_a () from /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so.0
I have not seen anything reported to audacious or to gtk developers. I am away from home for the next week and do not have a decent Internet connection; so I refrained from reporting the bug for the moment. I know it is annoying when people file bugs and disappear.
Can anyone reproduce the problem?
Thanks...

Here you go: audacious, gtk3, glib2 with debug.
Btw, it looks like I sometimes get different backtraces, I have seen 3 variations. I include 2 here, I forgot to log the other one and cannot get it again.
http://pastebin.com/hNLbGPTG
http://pastebin.com/dcKTb9bC
To reproduce, I do exactly as I say in the first post:
1 - Open the dialog to add files to the playlist. (Hit 'F' on the keyboard, or use the Plus button at the lower left corner of the playlist -- with Winamp skin)
2 - I start going in to random folders and possibly adding files. Adding files is not necessary, just going into a folder, then going back to the parent, and repeating this is enough. The dialog is set to stay open after adding a file.
3 - Crash comes randomly. Sometimes when I descend into the very first folder. Other times I need to go back and forth 5-10 times.
EDIT: Just now, I could reproduce this on a second Arch Linux installation.

[SOLVED] No kde-lite ?

Hi,
-#Linux 3.0-ARCH with kdebase 4.7.0-1 ...
I have successfully installed (the full) KDE, in the past as well as now, so i thought I would give the latest "kde-lite" a spin in Arch.
But, when I try to install the latest KDE minimal install according to:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/KDE
# pacman -S kdebase kde-l10n-yourlanguagehere phonon-vlc
You can choose phonon-gstreamer instead phonon-vlc.
-anyway, it just hangs forever, between after the login but just before finishing loading the desktop ?
Also, I notice that "X" process' is running at 99% CPU usage.
Is kdebase/kdebase-workspace not enough for a minimul "kde-lite" installation.? I tried "disabling" composting/compiz in ~/.kde4/..., but to no avail.
Summarily, if I install, for example the full (pacman -S kde), then of course, it installs everything, AND it works ok.
And, please note !: that I also just tested X successfully with a simple startx and xorg-twm,... and everything works just fine. So it ain't a driver/xorg issue
Is it possiby that in Arch, as far as KDE4 is concerned, it's either ALL (KDE4) or nothing ?
thx ahead.
Rick.

wonder wrote:pacman -S kdebase is not minimal enough? then you can install whatever you like
of course pre-installed the usual xorg,..., nvidia,...
I'm not sure how much of a part these had for a kde-lite, but I installed dbus, mesa, and mesa-demos, then
#pacman -S kdebase kdebase-workspace phonon-gstreamer
I needed both "kdebase, and kdebase-workspace" for the Plasma binaries, otherwise it hung as I mentioned above ?
So now, with just the above, I have a running kde minimal install,
I noticed however, at 1st glance, that on the application-lancher/kicker , as I move further right, into the "Applications" menu, that the left-positioned "<" to get back up to top of menu was missing. ?
Possibly some panel widget of sorts is obviously still missing, but no big deal.
All in all, imho, I don't find too much difference in performance versus the much more FULL, but simpler "pacman -S kde".
For now, i'll just get the whole thing, 'cause it works, and then just fine/trim tune your system after, as mentioned by "gerald82"
Needless to say, it was a fun experiment nonetheless.

How do I get rid of all this completely. I am going to try KDEmod and it says on the site remove all.

As a sidenote, you will have to deal with any config files in $HOME and other runtime generated files yourself.

[Solved] [audacious-git] dependency question

Hi, I maintain audacious-git and audacious-plugins-git and have a question:
audacious-plugins-git should be a dependency of audacious-git.
On the other side audacious-git should be a makedependency of audacious-git.
This is the case for the packages from [extra] (of course without -git)
How is it now possible to compile audacious / audacious-plugins if both packages are not installed?
And how should I handle this in the PKGBUILD?
Thanks for an answer
Radioactiveman
Last edited by Radioactiveman (2011-06-24 12:32:59)

The audacious-plugins package need only be a dependency of audacious for usability reasons: it is not required to build it. So it is easy to "manually" bootstrap by first compiling an audacious PKGBUILD without the audacious-plugins dependency. In the AUR, of course, that's not so handy, and I believe the best solution to your issue is to have audacious-plugins-git as an optdepends (not a depends) in the audacious-git PKGBUILD, and remind your users that they very likely want to install it.

[SOLVED] Audacious with no sound engines

Just installed audacious using pacman (pacman -S audacious), but upon start I haven't found any sound engines in it's preferences (no ALSA, no OSS or PulseAudio), thus causing the player not to be able to play any sound That's weird because the support for at least ALSA should be present 'out of box'.
Anyway, please advise how do I turn ALSA support on in Audacious. What package should be installed?
Thanks in advance!

I second that. I found it strange that I had to install the plugins separately to make Audacious work (plus, I had to look up this thread to find out why Audacious wasn't working).

[SOLVED] Audacious displays incorrect song times

For seemingly random songs, Audacious displays the correct time when I load them on the playlist - but when I click on it and it starts playing (let's say a 4 minute song) the song time will suddenly change to something like 26 minutes... o_O For other songs, this doesn't happen at all. Very odd.

[Solved] Persistent KDE notifications nag

Hello. It's my first post on the forums, and I'm sorry if the question is very trivial. I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere on the web.
The problem is that KDE notifications persist indefinitely even after explicitly dismissing them. An example is suppose I download something in Firefox. I get a notification that it's downloaded. I can do two things. Either I activate it (or click the little x in the corner to get rid of it) or I ignore it. If I activate it, it should go away, right? Well, it doesn't. The notification area shows that I still have a notification. And when I opt to see that notification, it's the one I just activated (or just dismissed), i.e. the completed download in this case. If I activate it (or dismiss it) again, then it goes away for real.
Now for the second scenario, i.e. the one in which I just ignore it. The notification area shows me that I have a notification. I opt to see that notification and then either activate it or dismiss it. Regardless of what I do, the notification remains there. It's after I activate or dismiss it the second time that it goes away permanently.
This happens for every notification from every application. Is it a situation faced by anyone else? And if yes, how were you able to change this behaviour?

I've also seen this since KDE 4.10. Notifications can only be completely removed by pulling up the notification widget history and closing them there; closing the notification when it first pops up leaves it in the notification history, which is especially annoying if the notification widget is set to show only when there are outstanding notifications, since you have to dismiss each one twice over.
This behaviour appears to be the subject of KDE Bug 311413, filed in December; it is confirmed and has a patch, but doesn't list a target release for incorporating the fix as yet.
