[kde] Qt4.7 repo needed for Kde:/Distro:/Factory?
when some KDE packages came up for update today, most of them showed unresolveable dependencies for libqt-x11 >= 4.7.2. i found these in KDE:/Qt47, added the repo, and solved the dependencies with vendor change. wondering if this is a permanent requirement, or perhaps my mirror didn't have the latest libqt-x11 available yet? -- phani. ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.

FWIW... That sounds like a distribution package repo question, not something for the general kde list (tho someone here may happen to have the answer). So I'd suggest posting the question to your distro list(s)/ forum(s)/irc-channel(s)/whatever. That said, a quick google (I only have qt 4.7.1 on my system here) says qt 4.7.2 was apparently released on March 1st, so it's only been out a couple days. My guess is that your distro and normal repos simply hadn't had time to fully package, test and release yet the new upstream version, and that it'll hit the regular repos given time. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.

The Firefox in the Lancelot menu is in fact ~/.bin/firefox. Disabling the "command line" in Krunner fixed it, it is now running ~/.bin/firefox.

That'd be what I'd probably do... and actually do do in other contexts. For example, gentoo's portage has an "esync" (gentoo tends to use e* for many of their gentoo-tools, including "emerge", the portage package manager's main binary name) command that syncs the local package tree with the remote. I've chosen the "esyn" (lacking the terminating "c") moniker for my wrapper, which among other things, syncs overlays as well, and pre- downloads the sources for the packages to be updated. As most sysadmins, I tend to like short commands for stuff I'll be typing a lot (thus the wrappers in the first place, since many of them simply include a pre-cooked default command line), so ffox or ffx or simply fx might well be the operational name on my wrapper. Occasionally, I even check $0 in my shell-scripts and base the default command on what that is, thus allowing me to create a whole host of different defaults, by simply symlinking different command names. (Changing command personality based on what it is run as, thus allowing different symlink/hardlink names to do different things, is a not uncommon Unix trick; most definitely it's not original to me.) >> Try this (in krunner) to see what settings kde/krunner are actually >> getting: >> >> env > ~/krunner.env >> >> Then open the file in a text editor to see the results. > Nice thinking there! I'd love to claim the credit, but IIRC it was Kevin Krammer that originally posted that tip. I just filed it away for use whenever I needed it, as I have a couple times since. =:^) Given that he's a kde dev, I imagine it might be somewhat common knowledge among the devs, who after all likely have various env settings they want to check from time to time, as well. Wherever it originated, seeing it posted immediately triggered one of those "Duh! I should have figured that out!" moments that we all have from time to time.

I don't see how I could google that! Unfortunately, there's some things google isn't too good with. =:^( (Of course this is one of my secondary objections to the renaming of kcontrol to systemsettings, as well, kcontrol is reasonably googlable, systemsettings... not so much! IMO whoever came up with that rename should have their memory of where to find kde's control options cauterized, so they are forever forced to have to google systemsettings and sort thru the mess they created to figure out how to set anything! The same thing applies to ksysguard/systemmonitor, too!) Enter "help ." at a shell (presuming bash here, I'm not sure whether the "help" builtin is in POSIX sh or not). That gives you the "official" version. (You can use "help " for any bash builtin to get a short explanation of the command, similar to the --help command line option for most stand-alone commands.)
