Call for Testing KDE 4.2 for FreeBSD

[miwi-2]

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Howdy Guys,

The KDE FreeBSD team is happy to announce the first public
Call for Testing for KDE 4.2. Over the past weeks we have
focused on the complex and very time consuming task to get
KDE 4.2 running.

What is new:

Where KDE 4.1 was, according to the development team,
"aimed at casual users", KDE 4.2 is billed as a "compelling
offering for the majority of end users." There have been further
enhancements to the plasma desktop with new applets allowing
better desktop customisation. The configuration options for the
desktop have also been expanded and the revamped system tray
shows reports from every conceivable process, from system messages
to the status of large downloads.

The KWin window manager has learned a couple of new tricks.
By default, it now switches on 3D and compositing effects automatically,
on suitable hardware and manages these effects autonomously, without
the aid of Compiz. With the help of the new Kephal library, the window
manager now offers additional options for running multiple monitors.

The Dolphin file manager has been partly revised, and should now be
easier to use. As part of the Google Summer of Code, KMail has been
redesigned, resulting in both a better appearance and better IMAP support.
The KDE browser Konqueror also includes several new features.

New supported languages include Arabic, Icelandic, Basque,
Hebrew, Romanian, Tajik and several Indian languages (Bengali India,
Gujarati, Kannada, Maithili, Marathi) indicating a rise in popularity in
this part of Asia.

Some note:

The CFT is now without FreeBSD 6.4 support. We will see
what we can do over the week now but I do not promise
that we can get this fixed. If you want to help us, your patches are
welcome.

We suggest that you exit from KDE4 before you update, backup your ~/.kde4
configuration dir and start with a clean config.

New Ports:

    arabic/kde4 l10n
    misc/kde4-l10n-eu
    hebrew/kde4-l10n
    misc/kde4-l10n-is
    misc/kde4-l10n-ro
    misc/kde4-l10n-tg

Please read UPDATING-area51 before you start your update.

To get KDE 4.2:
   try
      svn co https://kf.athame.co.uk/kde-freebsd/trunk/area51/ /path/to/area51

    More info here:
      https://kf.athame.co.uk/access.php

Here few screenshots:

I'd like to say thanks to all helpers and submitters on the kde-freebsd@
mailinglist.

That's all for the moment. Happy Testing!

- - Martin (on behalf of the KDE FreeBSD team)

Here are some random notes of mine. Some are tips, some are problems, some
are just observations.

* I am getting the "vista-effect" as my older 2.8Gz P4 / Radeon 9000
aren't up to the task of KDE4. I have desktop effects turned off. I've
heard some rumours that Qt 4.5 may improve things, but I really do need to
get a new computer. The days of refurbishing older hardware by installing
*Nix may be drawing to an end...

* Any hints or tips on "slimming down" KDE?

* The default font was "sans serif", which is not aliased (I'm not sure
what it's aliased to). Changing this to bitstream vera sans solved the
problem.

* I was getting nepomuk cores, so I turned off nepomuk in the Desktop
Search configuration page. This isn't used much in KDE4, so it's safe to
turn off.

* Konsole does not have a title in the title bar, only a ":". This is
configurable in the Tabs Titles page, but it isn't working.

* All my KDE3 apps are showing up in my menus. I've even set
XDG_DATA_DIRS, to no effect. Does anyone know of an easy way to segregate
them out into their own menu?

* The main menu is very slow, whether it's kickoff or classic. Opening up
a submenu may take ten to fifteen seconds, with some noticeable disk
activity. Very annoying.

* Setting the folderview as a desktop activity crashes plasma. Using a
normal folderview is okay.

Hi,

I'll get started on testing today.  I however have this strange desire to use
USB2 (the new USB stack introduced to FreeBSD-Current).  

Is KDE4 happy with USB2 (or to be more precise, is hald happy with USB2 yet)?

Is there anything special required to compile KDE4 (and all other ports) to
support USB2?  I assume installing with KERNCONF=USB2 is a requirement :-)

Thanks for the great work, much appreciated.

Regards,

David

Awesome, as far as I can see :-)

My plasmoids and kicker are back working on my nv-based system, propably not
an improvement of kde4.2 but a result of wiping all ports when xorg upgrade to
7.4 failed. Overall speed has improved due to one of those actions.
juk is picky now concerning "'"s and umlauts in filenames, therefore it
doesn't skip tracks anymore with raising info (error) windows.

You definitely should not be getting a "vista-effect" with that hardware.  I
also have a P4 2.8 GHz CPU, but with crappy onboard Intel i915 graphics (8
MB shared RAM), and 2 GB of RAM; and I don't have any noticeable slowdown in
the GUI.

The only time things are slow is when I try to load multiple apps at once,
and the harddrive grinds away.  Once apps are loaded, things are smooth and
quick, and the desktop is always smooth and quick.

I even ran with desktop effects on with KDE 4.1 for a couple of weeks, but
there were visual glitches with the Intel graphics.

That's because there's only 1 application launcher menu, for all your
installed apps, whether they be KDE3, KDE4, GNOME, XFce, X11, etc.  If you
don't want an app to show in the menu, you either have to manually edit the
menu, or uninstall the app.

What you're asking for is like running Windows Vista, but having all your
Windows XP and Win98 apps show up in a separate menus.

That's not right.  Something strange is going on, but not sure where to even
begin diagnosing something like that.

Just finished compiling on FreeBSD 7.1 and have found the following problems:
 1. The fonts are not being anti-aliased?  (Using default fonts and "Use
anti-aliasing: Enabled {with sub-pixel rendering [RGB]}).
 2. Network Settings doesn't detect anything to do with FreeBSD (it probably
still needs to be told about FreeBSD).  
 3. ksudo does not install?
 4. Samba config module doesn't find smb.conf by default.  It should look in
multiple places?
 5. When I was changing desktop effects X froze. It was a once off thing...

Items 1,2, 4, (5) probably qualify for a PR, can anyone confirm these?

Item 3 probably has something to do with our ports.  I really prefer to use
(k)sudo (since ksu doesn't like root without a password).  Item 4 should be
fixed with a patch (until upstream comes with a proper solution).  

If you wait a few hours I'll see what I can do about providing patches for
items 3, 4.

> Is KDE4 happy with USB2 (or to be more precise, is hald happy with USB2

I'll try compile hald with USB2.  If that doesn't work (i.e. starts taking
100% CPU on a core) then I will not persue the issue.  I'm not sure ports has
been converted to handle the base system's libusb20 in -current?

Oh and I am still having problems with HTTPS and proxy.  I am going to try put
up a Squid proxy and see if Squid behaves better then WinGate.  And I am
hoping Qt 4.5 will fix this proxy/socks problem (if it will hurry up and get
released :-)).

Everything else is looking good :-) and working on the FreeBSD side.  

Thanks

David

P.S. Any hope in getting Amarok 2 into ports with KDE 4.2.  Last I saw it was
pending on a PR to fix mysql_embedded?

man fonts-conf? Never had problems with fonts, can't help here :(

This part surely requires someone who can add support for FreeBSD.
Btw, kde@freebsd team are seeking for developers who would like to improve
KDE4 support for FreeBSD.

${KDE$_PREFIX}/lib/kde4/libexec/kdesu
Ask kde devs why kdesu is there.

This could be fixed easily I believe.

I'll ping Alex about the status of mysql_embedded. Meantime you can try
ports/128757 for mysql_embedded and ports/130634 for amarok port.

I suspect this has something to do with nvidia driver.  If one changes the
fonts to bitstream then anti-aliasing does work (but not with the default
fonts).

Should I file a PR for this, considering there probably isn't enough man-power
to actually resolve it?

Please ignore.  It appears ksudo or kdesudo is a Kubuntu specific program (why
haven't they pushed the changes upstream?)

One the correct place in  the code is found, yes it is. See attached.  Patch
does compile cleanly and samba config module does not find smb.conf.  
Makefile should probably be extended to change the lookup patch if
${LOCALBASE} isn't /usr/local?  If so just

# sed -e "s|/usr/local/etc/smb.conf|${LOCALBASE}/etc/smb.conf|'
$WRKSRC/kio/kio/ksambashare.cpp

I have also filed a PR (bug #183006) with an improved patch.

If it reappears I will file a PR.

I already have :-).  I had a problem with downloading the patch... But once
that was done amarok2 installed fine :-)

The only app now that is really missing is k3b.  Grrr... :-(

Have any of you guys been able to get KDE 4.2 to work with the latest
Xorg 7.4 in ports, and the nvidia driver? I'm playing with it here, and
it always seems to crash X right after KDE finishes logging into my
desktop. When I switch to "vesa" it works just fine.

Using nvidia 180.25, Xorg 7.4, KDE 4.2, etc.

I had some problems with Xorg and undefined symbols but that was just for
probing.  Another problem I had was my previous xorg.conf didn't work, I
needed to provide BusID in my Device section.  

Other then that now everything appears fine.  Desktop Effects are working
without glitch.  I did have some problems logging in, X/KDE just freezes but
Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and relogin works just fine?

I'm using nvidia-driver-177.80, xorg-7.4 on FreeBSD 7.1 (Nvidia 7600GT x2).

Does you xorg.log say anything useful, have you tried with a new config file
(Xorg -configure, nvidia-settings)?

I managed to install KDE 4.2 with Xorg 7.4 successfully on PC-BSD 7.0.2, I'm using nvidia-driver-177.80 though.

One problem is that every time I log into KDE, plasma crashes. There seems to be some configuration problem (from 4.2beta2), because when I delete ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, it doesn't crash, but looks weird in other ways. And when I delete the whole ~/.kde4, it works perfectly OK. I haven't investigated it further yet..

Anyway, at least it's working.

Have you first installed Xorg and then nvidia-drivers or vice versa?
They install files in the same place, libGLu or whatever...
It's 180.22 btw, I just start compiling on my i386 nvidia box and then
I'll see if it reproduces, may last until tomorrow. Are you loggin in
through kdm, or do you use startx?

Have any of you guys been able to get KDE 4.2 to work with the latest
Xorg 7.4 in ports, and the nvidia driver? I'm playing with it here, and
it always seems to crash X right after KDE finishes logging into my
desktop. When I switch to "vesa" it works just fine.

Using nvidia 180.25, Xorg 7.4, KDE 4.2, etc.

I managed to install KDE 4.2 with Xorg 7.4 successfully on PC-BSD 7.0.2, I'm using nvidia-driver-177.80 though.

One problem is that every time I log into KDE, plasma crashes. There seems to be some configuration problem (from 4.2beta2), because when I delete ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-appletsrc, it doesn't crash, but looks weird in other ways. And when I delete the whole ~/.kde4, it works perfectly OK. I haven't investigated it further yet..

Anyway, at least it's working.

One more problem I've had since KDE 4.2beta2 - KDE4 apps' toolbars' configurations aren't remembered. The configuration is there when I press the "Configure Toolbar" button.

When I reset toolbar configuration to default, I can configure it again afterwards.

One more problem - when I load Konqueror's profile "Web Browsing", it crashes. It doesn't help to delete ~/.kde4/share/config/konqueror* and/or ~/.kde4/share/apps/konqueror*. It works when I deinstall misc/konq-plugins-kde4.

Anone else experiencing this? Any fixes? Any suggestions?

I suspect this has something to do with nvidia driver.  If one changes the
fonts to bitstream then anti-aliasing does work (but not with the default
fonts).

It doesn't change anything in my case and I don't think it's FreeBSD's fault. I've communicated quite a lot about it in KDE Forums: http://forum.kde.org/fonts-in-konqueror-look-ugly-t-17451.html - the current state is that KDE4's anti-aliasing works sometimes on my OpenSuse, but I haven't seen it working on FreeBSD :(

Do you use the latest konq-plugins port?

Do you use the latest konq-plugins port?

Yes, updated from SVN 3.5 hours ago.

I'm quite busy at the moment, but mysql_embedded port is one of my
priorities.

Just checked for 'Web Browsing' and other profiles. Konqueror with konq-
plugins works fine for me.
