Note that this is not -needed to have KDE3 installed as well. Because having multiple KDE4 installations has -known issues like bugs [bug=258027]258027[/bug] or [bug=267793]267793[/bug], it's not -ready for public consumption hence it's been disabled by default. - - -[color=orange]Q:[/color] I want to run amarok, but all I get is "symbol lookup error: -/usr/kde/live/lib64/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so: undefined symbol". What should I do? - -[b]A:[/b] It's a Qt bug that appears when using [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE flag. Qt plugin -loader appends "qtplugins" path from currently running KDE4 session, causing oxygen.so -from wrong KDE prefix to be dlopen'ed. Unfortunately it as well cashes plugin locations in -[color=blue]~/.config/Trolltech.conf[/color], making it permanently broken unless the file -is removed. It usually happens with amarok or any other KDE4 applications installed in no -prefix ([color=blue]/usr[/color]), that are built against existing KDE4 in one prefix (for -example [color=blue]/usr/kde/4.2[/color]), but run from the other (for example in Gnome, -KDE3 or [color=blue]/usr/kde/live[/color]). For now there's no known solution. - - -[color=orange]Q:[/color] Why there are no sets for KDE4? - -[b]A:[/b] KDE4 so far is NOT making use of sets but sets are expected to arrive in near -future - the reason is - the naming convention for sets is not yet established. Although -KDE4 Gentoo team prepared some sets for you -[url=http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=tree;f=sets;h= -829bc933b1e43e13133dcd6f9c2c2c5566569315;hb=master]here[/url] (click 'raw' to download -file and place in [color=blue]/etc/portage/sets/[/color]). An archive with all sets can be -downloaded from -[url=http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/kde.git;a=snapshot;h= -829bc933b1e43e13133dcd6f9c2c2c5566569315;sf=tgz]here[/url]. Remember that you are using -them at your own risk. - - -[color=orange]Q:[/color] When I start KDE 3, Plasma is being executed and my KDE 3 -applications are either crashing or just not working. Konqueror refuses to start, -complaining about default stylesheet version mismatch. What's going on? - -[b]A:[/b] This is the conflict related to mixed KDE3/KDE4 sessions. To fix this issue you -need to [url=http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde-split-ebuilds.xml]upgrade[/url] -your existing KDE 3.5.x installations to 3.5.10 or newer. Note that the 3.5.10 series has -not been given stable keywords yet and that the monolithic packages have been -discontinued. - - -[color=orange]Q:[/color] I installed KDE4, I can start my desktop using startx but KDM is -not working. Please help. - -[b]A:[/b] First, ensure that [color=blue]kdm[/color] executable is in your [i]PATH[/i]. To -check that, run: -[code]which kdm[/code] -If it's not found, then probably your environment is not up to date. To update it, run: -[code]env-update && source /etc/profile[/code] -When [color=blue]kdm[/color] is found, set [i]DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm"[/i] variable in -[color=blue]/etc/conf.d/xdm[/color]. From now on, KDM should be working. - - -[color=orange]Q:[/color] I just found this neat KDE4 application, can you make an ebuild -for it? - -[b]A:[/b] In short, no. To be more precise, it is possible but it would be better if you -[url=http://devmanual.gentoo.org/ebuild-writing]created ebuild[/url] for it and send it -Gentoo KDE team for review - it's more likely it will be added to overlay. The best -procedure would be to create [url=https://bugs.gentoo.org]bug[/url] with ebuild proposal -(if it's not there already) and inform the developers on -[url=irc://irc.freenode.net/gentoo-kde]#gentoo-kde[/url] about it: -[quote]Hi, i found this nice app blablu v 14.2 i opened bug 234556 for it.
