[SOLVED] KDE 4.3 upgrade. Kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons conflict

Hello. Today i decided to upgrade my kde 4.2.4 to 4.3. After i execute:
pacman -S kdeadmin kdeartwork kdebase kdeplasma-addons
there is some warnings in output:
Warning: provider package was selected (kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons provides kdeplasma-addons)
I don't want to install any kde-meta package. But this is no problem. I can delete them after.
Problem is that:
error: failed to prepare transaction (conflicting dependencies)
:: kde-meta-kdeplasma-addons: conflicts with kdeplasma-addons-libs
How to resolve that? Or maybe i must install manually all packages in kdeplasma-addons group?
P.S. Sorry for my english.

@Pierre
I just change my mirror to : Server = ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/$repo/os/x86_64
and still can't upgrade.
error: could not prepare transaction
error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files)
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/lib/kde4/plasma_applet_bball.so exists in filesystem
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/bball.svgz exists in filesystem
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/bounce.ogg exists in filesystem
kdeplasma-addons-applets-bball: /usr/share/apps/bball/football.svgz exists in filesystem
Should i delete all my KDE installed packages, and try to install everything again with sudo pacman -Sy kde ?
This is strange, i'm using KDE 4.3 for some time from RC2 and now i can't upgrade.

[SOLVED] kde 4.8.4?

Hi All,
Just installed Arch and really like it. I was reading in the forums that people are running KDE 4.8.4, and it appears to be in the repos, however, when I do an about in any KDE app, it shows 4.8.3.
How can I get 4.8.4?
Thanks!
Joe

[solved] KDE 4.4: Wallpapers not working.

I just updated testing and it installed KDE 4.3.98, however now I cannot use wallpapers on my desktop, if I choose wallpaper in the desktop appearance window, there's no options to pick what image to display or anything, just the drop down telling the type of background.
The same is also the case for the slideshow and weather backgrounds. I've got 'kdeplasma-addons-wallpapers-weather' installed, but could not find any package relating to wallpaper or slideshow.
I did update Qt and phonon correctly before the upgrade, but for some reason I had to manually update "kdepim-akonadiconsole" due to dependency-issues, but I doubt it's related.
I tried to look in .xsession-errors when using the desktop activity settings window, but I couldn't see any errors appear and if I click apply in the dialog, the background just goes white, no errors or anything.

Iirc, arch tries to use vanilla (default) settings, and only patches stuff if it would cause major problems not to.
wrc1944 wrote:I knew there was a warning about using the testing repo, but I've experienced no problems. Is that warning no longer in effect?
Ha! I too have experienced no (major) problems, but I still read arch-dev-public and watch out for any messages on updates

Why is gimp required if I want kde-meta?

For starters, I'll answer my own question: Because kde-meta depends on kde-meta-kdesdk, which depends on kdesdk-kdepalettes which apparently depends on gimp. kdesdk-kdepalettes is a package that provides "Palettes for the Gimp that match the KDE standard color palette" (from the package description). Shouldn't it be an optional dependency for gimp instead of the current situation (requiring gimp)?
(This has been the case at least since 4.5, so I'm sorry if this has already been answered before. I couldn't find any results searching the forum.)

karper wrote:
Allan wrote:What use are palettes for gimp without actually having gimp? If you do not want all the packages pulled by a meta package, then don't install it!
... which is an entirely valid point of view. However, the benefits of installing a meta-package (automatically adding new sub-packages upon upgrades) outweigh the disadvantages.
I was just wondering if instead of pulling in gimp, the color palette file (it's really just one tiny file) could be stored wherever KDE stores its color palettes...
Pacman doesn't do 'multiple possible locations for a file', I don't think any current package manager does. It would quickly become unworkable (what if gimp gets installed in future, do you move the file back?)

[SOLVED] kde sounds

How do you enable system sounds in kde? Im a new kde user and i can't find any setting for it. I installed kde-meta on two systems, and the weird thing is that one computer has system sounds (startup sound and etc) and the other pc doesn't. Audio works flawlessly on both systems (amarok, mplayer, etc).
Last edited by priapism (2011-12-24 22:19:51)

Yay, found the settings! Sounds are enabled by default I guess. Which makes sense why they play on my other computer. But they don't play on this computer, even though they are enabled.
I think something is wrong with the ogg files in /usr/share/sounds which kde uses for the system sounds. They won't play in mplayer or phonon (gstreamer). But if i download an ogg file from the internet, it will play in anything. I'll try copying the ogg files from the other kde install and overwrite the ones here. Hopefully it will be solved after I do that.

[SOLVED] KDE won't start

I've just installed Arch... again. I decided to go for KDE this time. I installed kde-meta-kdebase, have graphics drivers (xf86-video-intel) and everything. When I've try to run it by startx ("exec startkde" in my .xinitrc, copied from /etc/skel - everything done like always), the process ends after short blink of the screen. No error output now but before reboot it prompted "startkde: no such file or directory" - now no error message but it won't run anyway... there is /usr/lib/kde on my system but when I go
# systemctl enable kdm.service
- again: no such file or directory... it's like it's not installed the right way but pacman sees it. It was the same yesterday and I thought I just forgot about something so today I went step-by-step with Beginner's Guide... and still nothing. Only thing that is different from the usual system is zsh. Test xorg DE starts fine.

I had kde-meta-kdebase installed but now I see that

10) kdebase-kwrite 11) kdebase-plasma
Enter a selection (default=all):
it's not there by default. Is it a mistake by packager that it wasn't pulled by any of the packages and it's not listed there too? "Minimal install" section of Arch Wiki article about KDE is now invalid and it wasn't like that before... I just went here to type that "I don't know why but after installing some other kde packages, the problem dissapeared" - now I know why, thanks! :-)

[SOLVED] KDE 4.8 crash!

Hi!
Yesterday, I updated my system, and installed the KDE 4.8.
Today, when I started my computer, the KDE was with a grey wallpaper and big red squares, showing that the widgets was crashed too.
I couldn't take screenshots, but I took some photos to show you. When I had the KDE 4.7, everything worked perfectly.
How can I fix it? Should I downgrade to KDE 4.7? How to do it?
Thanks!
Sorry the bad english.

Cows wrote:This happened to me as well, the thing was that I was playing around with the 4.7 PKGBUILDs to migrate to 4.8 by myself (Without depending on the Arch community + to learn more about PKGBUILDs), and I successfully compiled the packages, but I was mixing around kdelibs 4.8 with kdebase-workspace 4.7. This was the problem that gave me the same things you are mentioning. So make sure that your kdebase-workspace, kdelibs, and kdebase-runtime are all 4.8.
I checked them all with the pacman, and all are 4.8.0-1.
EDIT
I tried to reinstall the kde-base, and the terminal show me about 70mb to be downloaded, the update wasn't completed (weird, because yesterday, the terminal doesen't show me an error). I'll have to change the / partition size because it's full.

[SOLVED] KDE fonts unreadably small

I've just installed Arch following the instructions in the wiki and everything has gone smoothly so far. But I now have a problem with KDE (kde-meta) - all the text on screen is unreadable, resembling squares. I thought it might be something to do with the locale setting so I set it back to the default en_US, but that had no effect.
Not sure what extra info I can give, I haven't done anything exotic during the install.
Fonts installed are ms, bitstream vera and deja vu.
Last edited by qpeg (2010-06-25 12:22:05)

(Mostly) fixed. I tried using the nv driver instead of nvidia and everything looked fine. Now that I was able to actually read the screen I found a force dpi option in KDE's font settings. This fixes the DPI issue with the nvidia driver.
This doesn't cover KDM though, which is still unreadable. As I said before "ServerArgsLocal=-96 dpi" within KDM's config does nothing. Any ideas?

KDE or KDE-META?

Hi!
I'm at the point of installing the GUI, KDE4 for instance, and I'm curious about what veteran Arch-KDE4 users can tell me about this. I read about the two KDE and KDE-META and I wonder which will be the best to have an up-to-date and/or stable KDE4.
Also, in my last attempt to install Arch (this is my second time doing a Arch install, I haven't any system up and working yet but I'm starting feeling a seasoned Arch user, lol) I remember installing plain KDE installed a LOT of applications and games I would not want because KDE package installs whole KDE suite.
Alongside kdebase and kdeutils (or kde-meta-kdebase and kde-meta-kdeutils) which other packages should I install to have a full working base but complete KDE4 system, like say Kubuntu? (sorry but's the only KDE I liked after trying Fedora's and openSUSE's KDE implementation)
I'm talking about a complete KDE system with printer support and so on, I'm not talking about applications which I can add individually.

hi Pierre!
I did read the wiki and that's why I was in doubt on which package should I install.
I see you are a KDeveloper? I'm very grateful of the KDE Team work. I like other DE too and all have their pros and cons, but KDE is the only environment that put it all together in a way I find useful and beautiful and that free me to just work and enjoy my PC experience instead spending lot of time customizing and tweaking my system.
Thanks both for your advice here and your KDE work, best.

[SOLVED] KDE too slow on VirtualBox

I've installed Arch Linux on VirtualBox with KDE. At first I tried to install through 'pacman -S kde-meta' and, after seeing it was slow, I tried to do that through 'pacman -S kde-meta-kdebase', but KDE also is too slow.
For some reason I don't know, VirtualBox starts to load and load from HDD all the time. However, if I install XFCE, everything goes well.
Why?

* You're using LLVM with kwin compositing enabled
* VirtualBox is able to resize and adjust the window right. So I'd say that I installed the virtual GPU drivers.
* My host GPU works well with KDE, but I've only tried it in other distros. I don't know if kwin is enable, but I know I didn't change any configuration of KDE.

I saw there are more than one process using the HDD. (I used iotop.) So can I discard that Nepomuk is causing the problem?

Removeing kde-meta packages

Hi!
On KDE 4.3, when I try to remove an unwanted KDE app (ie KsCD), it tells me that i need to remove the corresponding kde-meta package as well (ie kde-meta-kdemultimedia). cool. however, when i do this, it makes all of the other apps with the kdemultimedia group orphans - i.e. they show up in pacman -Qdtq. is there any way to stop this from happening?

I'd say just remove the meta-packages and reinstall (with --asexplicit) those that you want to keep and which show up in -Qtd.

[SOLVED] KDE Is not loading

HI, i'm been an archlinux user for a while, never have great issues, but now i reinstalled arch in a formated disk and started all over. The thing is that I installed kde basis (following the wiki), but neither kdm via inittab, or kdm via daemon works! it just load the tt1 console and do nothing. No erors, or something. The only difference with previous installation is that the first time i installed kde-meta package, and have no issues
Any thoughts?

[SOLVED] Full Instructions for Upgrading from KDE4 to Plasma 5?

I almost threw my computer against the wall yesterday after trying to upgrade to Plasma 5.2. I followed what I thought were the complete instructions from the Wiki: install SDDM, remove kdebase-workspace (using Pacman -Rsc kdebase-workspace), then installing Plasma.
What I rebooted to was unusable. I had no Konsole and no Dolphin, and many of my apps were gone. I had to restore my old system from a backup in order to get anything done.
Would someone *please* list the *entire* sequence for updating from a current KDE4 installation to the "recommended" Plasma 5.2? Thank you!
Last edited by ProfessorTomoe (2015-01-31 10:20:51)

I've done the following on a couple machines now without having issues:
pacman -S sddm sddm-kcm
systemctl disable kdm && systemctl enable sddm
pacman -S --needed kf5 kf5-aids
pacman -Rsn $(LANG=C pacman -Qi kdebase-workspace | grep "Req" | sed -e 's/Required By : //g')
pacman -Rsn kdebase-workspace (may not be wise, see arojas reply below regarding kde-meta)
pacman -S plasma
reboot
On one machine I had to remove some additional pkgs that depended on kdeplasma-addons-libs between steps 3 & 4 above.
pacman -Rsn $(LANG=C pacman -Qi kdeplasma-addons-libs | grep "Req" | sed -e 's/Required By : //g')
