[gentoo-user] Has semantic-desktop really become compulsatory for kmail?
Hello list, when I synced my portage tree today, I saw that kmail-4.4.0 needs kdelibs compiled with USE="semantic-desktop" and cannot be told to not use it. But I do not like the idea of semantic desktop and I will not install it. But I really like kmail as my mail client, so I give it a last chance: Is it possible to compile kmail without support for semantic desktop (by writing my own ebuild) or will the code break without it? Thanks for your hints Christian signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Installing and not using it instead of not installing it at all, is the wrong way and (to my opinion) it is defintely not the Gentoo way. Well, I have drawn the conclusions and got rid of kmail and am on the verge of migrating the whole desktop. I loved kde-3.5, I seriously tried kde-4.*, but I could never befriend with it. And one point I detaste is that "Social Semantic Desktop" thing (as Nepomuk is characterized on its afore mentioned wikipedia page). For me it is just another instance of what Kant called "selbstverschuldete Unmündigkeit" (self-incurred immaturity). signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Sound can now be directed to the headset via the alsa device "bluetooth", e.g.: ogg123 -d alsa -o dev:bluetooth Some GUI application doesn't show that device in their configuration dialogue. vlc is an example of this behaviour, but it is possible to make vlc use it by manually editing the configuration file. You can also make the bluetooth device the standard device by pcm.!default { type bluetooth device "11:22:33:44:55:66" } It is a long time since I made that setup, so I can't say if it will work out of the box. But it is possible to avoid pulseaudio. I hope it will help. Best regards Christian signature.asc Description: PGP signature

There you will find a patch which worked for me. Someone has also posted an ebuild integrating that patch. But it does not work for everybody and the bug was closed as a problem with upstream. But perhaps the patch works for you. Good luck Christian
