…still I cannot update it.
The problem is with Akonadi: it does not start with MySQL 5.1.43 and does not start with the new MySQL release too.
I reported this on bugs.kde.org three weeks ago (#225333); others people confirmed this issue (#226960) and I think that Akonadi developers are working on it, logs do not help too much.
So, seems that we will skip this minor release too. Stay tuned.
Probably you already know, but I had not enough free time to write this first. Anyway the point is that the last KDE release candidate is waiting for you in [testing] ([kde-unstable] is dropped).
There are no big changes, only fixes; KDE devs want to be sure everything build and work.
If you already are using KDE with virtuoso backend, you should read this thread on arch-dev-pulic mailing list.
Have a good update!
They released it, we packaged it!
Yesterday KDE developers tagged the 2nd Release Candidate and today we released the Arch Linux packages into [kde-unstable]…nearly there, 4.4.0 will be out soon!
The x86_64 packages are already on [kde-unstable] whereas I am still uploading i686 packages, they will be in the mirrors tonight. ;)
The packages are built with libpng 1.4.0 and libjpeg 8, so you can update easy without any problems.
As ever, please report any bugs. Thanks!
It’s more simple and fast then you think:
Where instead of /usr/bin/rekonq, you must type the path to your favorite browser. %t is the destinatary, %s is the subject and %u is the full mailto URL (needed if you want to add the body too).
Kheers!
Ok, here we are. The first official KDE 4.4 packages for Arch Linux are ready. We will move the package to [extra] only when the 4.4 stable will be released. So, if you want to try the new KDE you need to enable the [kde-unstable] repository. Run the update with this steps:
[kde-unstable]
Include = /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist
Arch Linux changes:
Note: [19/01/2010] This repo will be unusable until KDE 4.4 RC2. DON’T USE IT.
Hi all,
Ok, I confirm, I was jealous about Allan: after the “he broke it!” everyone know him. I wanted to be more popular, and maybe with my last crap I did.
I changed configuration, pid and sock file path in MySQL; I was pretty sure that change didn’t broke anything except php, but…I failed.
Yesterday I lost the whole day trying to fix this and in the night I found the solution: the problem was mysql set sock file path to /tmp/mysql.sock by default, I need to pass the option in configure. Don’t ask me why, but I thought that move sock file in a new location was a minor change and setting the new path into my.cnf was enough.
mysql 5.1.41-2 is already in [extra] and will fix everything (qt applications, mysql-python, etc…).
At least, with this “little story”, I’ll remember to put every package in [testing] first!
Happy update :)
I don’t know in your university, but in mine I still cannot use version control system cause we have an HTTP proxy and only HTTP traffic is allowed.
I want my system to be ever up-to-date and sometime this means to use development software. Today, for example, I wanted to build KDE from SVN.
Usually set http-proxy-host and http-proxy-port into ~/.subversion/server was enough, but today with this method I got a nice “Permission denied“.
The alternative method is to setup an SVN tunneling through the proxy:
First, you need perl-libwww from [extra] repository and perl-net-proxy from AUR.
Open a terminal and launch:
$ connect-tunnel -P proxyhost:proxyport -T 10234:svnhost:svnport
Now, keep connect-tunnel running and checkout svn in this way:
$ svn co svn://localhost:10234/svntrunk
All should works. Good luck!
Ok ok, I am strange I know. I like to go to sleep listening to music, but I like to stop the music after a while too.
Because of this I run a command before get up from my seat:
$ sleep 20m; amarok -s; exit
Today I was looking for new apps on kde-apps.org when I looked at sleepy.
What’s sleepy? Is an Amarok 2.x script, like the old Nightingale that was for Amarok 1.x.
This script allows you to shutdown/hibernate/suspend the PC after the N song or after N minutes. I love this!
I don’t know why but this script didn’t allow to stop Amarok without shutdown or suspend the PC. I did a patch that add this feature.
Obviously, you can find the PKGBUILD on AUR ;)
EDIT: Author released 0.7.1 which include my patch.
Goodnight!!!
Hi kde users, KDE 4.3.2 will be released in the next hours as told in Release Schedule so Pierre and I bumped the ours KDE version in [extra] repository. Have a nice update!
