Re: Why KDE4 ktorrent in Lenny? SOLVED

2008-09-24 Thread Mike Bird
Found and removed some old KDE4-related garbage in /usr/local.
My fault, not Debian.

Many thanks to everyone who answered my dumb questions.

Hi Mike,

I've been running a pure KDE3 up until now and got curious. Pretty
standard, nothing special

This is what I got when installing ktorrent:

The following NEW packages will be installed:
  kde-icons-oxygen{a} kdebase-runtime{a} kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4{a}
kdebase-runtime-data{a} kdelibs-bin{a} kdelibs5{a}
  kdelibs5-data{a} ktorrent libphonon4{a} libqca2{a} libsoprano4{a}
libstreamanalyzer0{a} libstreams0{a} libstrigiqtdbusclient0{a}
  phonon{a} phonon-backend-xine{a}
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  kdebase-bin-kde3{a}


Running ktorrent after that worked perfectly fine.

I can only suggest what others have already said, that you'll probably
have a misconfigured system.

Cheers,
Michael

Please post your "dpkg -l | grep kde" from a working Lenny KDE 3.
I've already posted mine[1].

Thus far people asserting that it works have actually been running KDE 4
and/or Sid.  The question is whether Lenny's default ktorrent 3 works
with Lenny's default KDE 3.5.9 using only the parts of Lenny's KDE 4
brought in by ktorrent 3's dependencies.

> Try installing debsums and run it against the KDE 4 packages.

I already have debsums installs.  No problems related to KDE or anything
remotely close to KDE.  I've appended the output to this message.

As noted in the thread, I have removed/purged ktorrent 3 and its
KDE 4 dependencies using dpkg, run ktorrent2.2 successfully for some
days, and reinstalled ktorrent 3.  No change.

FWIW, my ktorrent2.2 is currently removed ("deinstall ok config-files")
not purged, so I can return to a working configuration.

No missing dependencies (apt-get --dry-run -f install).

Modestas indicated that "kbuildsycoca4" perhaps with "--noincremental"
should create "~/.kde4".  It does not.  What should create "~/.kde4"?
Why is it not included in ktorrent 3 dependencies?

If I "mkdir ~/.kde4" and then run "kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental"
nothing is placed in "~/.kde4".  I have previously posted my
kbuildsycoca4 output[2].  What more is needed to diagnose why
kbuildsycoca4 is not putting anything in "~/.kde4".  FWIW, running
ktorrent itself does not put anything in "~/.kde4" either.

Nothing is scanning "/usr/lib/kde4" for the plugins.  What should be
scanning "/usr/lib/kde4"?  Why is it not included in ktorrent 3
dependencies?

ktorrent 3 is unable to start service 'khelpcenter'.  Does ktorrent 3
work with khelpcenter 4:4.0.0.really.3.5.9.dfsg.1-5 or does it need
khelpcenter4, and if so why is it not a dependency?

ktorrent 3 under KDE 3.5.9 is really ugly, and the fonts are not
anti-aliased.  Is there any way to fix this without installing KDE 4?

Thanks,

It _does_ work, and as said in the thread, should work perfectly.

Try installing debsums and run it against the KDE 4 packages. Just in case, 
make sure you don't have any package without dependencies solved.

You must have a ~/.kde4, because KTorrent stores there important information 
about the torrents in progress. If you don't have one, try reinstalling as 
Modestas said.

I removed ktorrent and all its dependencies, reinstalled ktorrent2.2,
waited several days during which ktorrent2.2 ran fine, and then
reinstalled ktorrent 3 and its dependencies again.  I used apt for
the installs and dpkg for the purges.

Do you have a ~/.kde4 ?

Please post your "dpkg -l | grep kde" for comparison with mine.

I am using ktorrent 3.1.2 (Debian package) as well with KDE 3.5.9 and have no 
issues. Torrents download normally and no crashes occur (none that I can 
recall).

Did you try removing and reinstalling ktorrent using Synaptic?

I've tried everything I can think of.  There is approximately zero
functionality when Lenny ktorrent 3 is used with Lenny KDE 3.  This
seems to be because none of the ktorrent plugins are available.

My ktorrent / Settings / Configure ktorrent / Plugins list is empty.
How about yours?

Neither starting ktorrent nor accessing the plugins list causes the
plugins to be accessed (as shown by "ls -ul /usr/lib/kde4").  What
happens on yours?

Right clicking anywhere in the main list of active torrents (inherited
from ktorrent 2.2) results in an instant crash.  Does yours?

Pressing F1 (or clicking through from the menu) results in "Could not
launch the KDE Help Center: Could not find service 'khelpcenter'."
Does this happen on yours?

And the text is ugly and not anti-aliased.  How does yours look?

In short, the default Lenny ktorrent is horrible and nearly useless.
Without right click one must play games with queue manager to start a
stopped torrent and I have not found any way to stop a single torrent.

Is there any information you need from me to diagnose why everyone here
thinks ktorrent 3 is wonderful while to me it looks like a disaster?

TIA,

--Mike Bird

Come on, check your facts before saying anything. The only missing feature is 
RSS plugin. So basically there are two reasons ktorrent2.2 package exists:

1) For users who do not want to install KDE4 runtime libraries.
2) For users who can't live without RSS plugin.

Read /usr/share/doc/ktorrent/README.Debian

What is more, KTorrent is not an official KDE package. It can also be used as 
a standalone application on any desktop environment/window manager where KDE 3 
vs. KDE 4 argument does not matter.

> And it crashes.  A lot.
Report bugs with proper backtraces. It has been rock solid for me for a long 
time and I basically use it 24/7. Your bugs might help to get later ktorrent 
3.1.x upstream bug fix release into Lenny.

> What am I missing?  I don't understand why this piece of KDE 4

KTorrent 3.x series has already had TWO major stable releases, both of them 
with new features and improvements in core code arguably resulting into better 
performance. ktorrent 2.2.7 is unmaintained and aging hence it might start to 
be banned from trackers soon. Do not forget that Lenny lifetime is long.

> Most users will simply have to
> downgrade to ktorrent2.2. 
It is interesting that you say "downgrade" here. That's another reason 3.1.x 
is the default. By the way, your "most users" claim is not backed up. Actually 
my opinion is contrary that most users won't downgrade. However, I *do* 
understand your arguments, so you have a choice and you are not forced to 
upgrade ktorrent 3 by installing ktorrent2.2.

> Why not release ktorrent version 2.2

It is by no way bleeding edge. It is a stable release. ktorrent2.2 will be 
gone from testing/unstable once Lenny is released and there will be no upgrade 
path to ktorrent 3 in the next Debian stable release for this package.

Works pretty fine for me :-/

Programming is really just the mundane aspect of expressing a

related to actually coding, but the real issue is being able
to grasp problems and devise solutions that are detailed enough

If things are as bad as you say, then you should file bugs with the
appropriate severity on ktorrent. At the moment there are no
outstanding bugs of severity higher than normal, and only two normal
bugs.

I'm curious: What's the missing functionality of ktorrent 3.1.1?

I've used it since it was the default, more or less, and I've found it stable, 
and with much more functionality that I need (I just needed to activate 2 
plugins, and none of them is a must have for me).

I don't do anything special with torrents, but I've downloaded a lot of stuff 
without problems, though. Maybe it's a plugin that is compromising stability.

Perhaps I wasn't clear.  My question is why are we defaulting Lenny
users to ktorrent 3.1.1 which will only result in frustration and
cause thousands of users to have to manually remove ktorrent and
install ktorrent2.2?

It would be much more helpful if Lenny shipped with ktorrent at
version 2.2.7.  ktorrent 3.1.1 could be packaged as ktorrent3,
so that it is available to people who want to try KDE4 but without
annoying people who need a usable ktorrent.

The Debian KDE team has wisely decided to provide KDE3 as the
default in Lenny, with KDE4 as an option.  Ktorrent goes against
this policy and the result is (I choose these words deliberately)
disfunctional, buggy, fragile, and ugly.  I don't know how well
ktorrent 3.1.1 behaves when surrounded by a full KDE4 install, but
I can tell you that "apt-get install ktorrent" in KDE3 Lenny gives
a ktorrent which is painful and embarrassing.

FWIW I did an "apt-cache search ktorrent" to see if the missing
functionality was available in additional packages, perhaps as
plugins, but no joy there either.

Why KDE4 ktorrent in Lenny?

2008-08-26 Thread Mike Bird
I just tried the KDE4 ktorrent 3 which is being pushed for Lenny.
It was a huge disappointment.  It brings in a lot of KDE 4 libs
which are otherwise not needed and it has maybe 10% of the
functionality of ktorrent 2.2.

And it crashes.  A lot.

What am I missing?  I don't understand why this piece of KDE 4
is being pushed prematurely.  Most users will simply have to
downgrade to ktorrent2.2.  Why not release ktorrent version 2.2
in Lenny and maybe have a ktorrent3 package for anyone that wants
to play on the bleeding edge?
