Like others, I got the old (doesn't work with MSN) version of Kopete with my SuSE 9.2 distro. Took out the package and tried to install Kopete 0.10.1. Configured fine, but I get to apparently where it's trying to compile the MSN protocol (doh! the one I really need!) and get to here: -snip- -c -o dummy.lo `test -f 'dummy.cpp' || echo './'`dummy.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/dummy.Tpo" ".deps/dummy.Plo"; \ else rm -f ".deps/dummy.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi dummy.cpp:2: error: visibility arg must be one of "de...
I used to open up a bunch of Konqy windows, some being SU and some not. Then I discovered the "midnight commander" view profile. It's really useful. You automatically have two windows that you can unlink to browse in two separate locations, and you also have a shell down at the bottom so you can SU and do stuff in the commandline without having to actually open a shell. Check it out. Go to Settings->Load View Profile->MidnightCommander. Quite handy.
Yeah, those SuSE rpm's were the ones I used originally, but afiak they haven't been updated with the patch. I've looked back once in a while to see if they were updated, but it didn't look like it to me I'll try the Ark binary from slackware. Worth a try! Otherwise, I suppose I could live with cmdline tar commands. The "extract here" service menu is awfully nice tho
Quoted Original von thegeekster ......Although, I wonder if replacing the compiled binary with an already patched one would work........ I'll have to give all these ideas a try. First and foremost though, it can't hurt to try to replace the Ark binary that I have with one (yours?) that is patched and known to work. Care to provide? It's worth a shot, at the very least, and nothing that can't be very easily undone by saving my current binary. Hell, Ark is pretty much useless on my machine right ...
Quoted Original von thegeekster have you tried the update command for SuSE and see if there's something there??.......... I think you mean the online package updater...SuSE calls it YaST2 and it's great...once SuSE gets around to updating stuff. KDE is still in 3.1.4 or something on YaST, and Kopete is on like 0.6 or something. Ridiculous! But I can't complain. Other than the ark thing (which is annoying but at least Konqy lets me get around it) I'm doing okay... I did see Slackware had updated...
Well, I've tried building while not in KDE, in root, su...etc. I also tried one of the nightly builds (from 5/10). All of them have one thing in common: Either during make or install, they blow up when they try doing things with Ark. The one thing I want to fix! I've tried newer builds too, and even trying to compile kdelibs blows up. I think I might as well give up for now and hope some other way comes to get around this thing without having to compile from source. What a nightmare!
Yeah I was dumb and did it while still in KDE. I haven't gotten back to that machine yet to try it while not in KDE, but the error I'm looking at doesn't seem like it's the kind of thing that would come up if I were still in KDE. Then again, maybe I should just shut up and try it... :oops:
So I applied the patch, configured, everything was happy, and now something seems to be missing during make install: ... test -z "/opt/kde3/lib/kde3" || mkdir -p -- . "/opt/kde3/lib/kde3" /bin/sh ../libtool --silent --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c -p 'ark.la' '/opt/kde3/lib/kde3/ark.la' /usr/bin/install: cannot stat `.libs/ark.lai': No such file or directory make[3]: *** [install-kdeinitLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/Justin/Storage/Downloads/Original_Source/kdeutils-3....
:oops: So um...to apply the patch, I just put it in the unpacked kdeutils dir and run it? ./tar.cpp.diff ?? Or do I put the tar.cpp.diff into ../kdeutils-3.2.2/ark and run it? Or do I just plop it in there and during configure/make the patch will be applied? I've never gone about applying a patch in linux before, I'm a bit of a n00b. Sorry...ugh... I see there is a tar.cpp file in the ark dir but I don't want to do anything stupid ... like paste things in where I shouldn't or something like that...
Quoted Original von thegeekster This patches the "kdeutils" source tree................That is, unpack the kdeutils-3.2.2.tar.bz2 source tarball and apply the patch before compiling....... So you mean to say get the kdeutils-3.2.2.tar.bz2 package from the same link, right? I had downloaded the daily build from kde.org but I imagine I should d/l the package from the same source as where the patch came, no? Sorry for the barrage of rather stupid questions...
Well, you can find the package here: http://www3.linuxpackages.net/Slackware-9.1/pcxz/kde/3.2.2/ HOWEVER they are listed as Slackware 9.1 packages. I run SuSE 8.2. They're source tars as far as I can tell...but I'm loathe to try to install anything that's listed as any distro other than my own distro. Would I blow anything up if I used the package as listed in the URL above? :?
Indeed, that was a stupid question of me to ask. Has anyone managed to get to the bottom of the ark forking bit? Has anyone reported the bug?
I've looked through the Bug DB at KDE.org and haven't found anything. Has anyone reported this bug yet? I don't want to end up reporting it if someone else has...
I get the same problem too, and yes, it's broken in SuSE 8.2 as well. Happened just after I installed 3.2.2 so I can only assume it's that... First of all, this may sound dumb, but what the heck is forking anyway? I tried to actually start up Ark without using the service (right click) menu, and opening any archive file gets the same result. So it's definitely independent of the service menu aspect. Tar does seem to work via commandline... Luckily konqy gives us the option to browse into an arch...
Quoted Original von dave-f As I said, configuring them is not the problem but using them. When you get to the khotkeys configuration area, make sure the gestures aren't globally disabled. Then make sure that groups of gestures aren't disabled. I had trouble in KDE 3.2.0 getting gestures to work, but once I upgraded to 3.2.2, I had no problem. All you have to do (if your khotkeys settings are left default) is to press and hold the middle mouse button (or the wheel button) and then perform the ge...
Quoted Original von cmbofh I had a look at jpegorient itself. It's not a binary but a shell script that uses jpegtran. Now there's another thing that you might want to check: Do you have either jpegtran or jpegtran-mmx installed? I think this may be the case, that I don't have jpegtran installed somehow. I know that my PATH is set right, as jpegorient is in /opt/kde3/bin. When I try to use jpegorient from the command line by using jpegorient 90 filename.jpg I am told that the image couldn't be ...
Boy would it be nice to have the ability to rotate pics on the fly thru konqueror, I sez. Lo and behold, in the service menu I found that option! But every time I try it on a jpeg, I get the error "couldn't find the program 'jpegorient +90 %u' (replace the +90 with whatever option I try). I looked into my jpegorient.desktop file and played around with it, but to no avail. I have tried different usage of the jpegorient binary, like jpegorient 90, etc etc. The usage seems to be such that it should...
Hehe I used to use Y! but then realized that (a) no one else used it and (b) they're continually changing their protocols and I don't feel like keeping up with it! good luck!
That seems to have worked...thanks so much! I compiled as root because ... well I thought that's what you had to do... :oops: I tried to run ./configure as a regular user and it told me permission was denied...so I just SU'd. Maybe my perms were messed up on that one directory, but I didn't really investigate...
