 I think a month or two ago KDE SC 4.7.4 wasn't ready yet.

 Have a look at http://freebsd.kde.org/area51.php

 You'll soon be able to test 4.8.0 RC if you really want. ;)
 
  Could you possibly provide a few more clues as to what you're
  talking about re: leftover files?
 
 4.7.4 installs some new files that weren't there in 4.7.3. If you
 didn't use area51 ports, your plists (lists of installed files) are
 incomplete. Just wait a couple of days - when we'll commit 4.7.4 to
 ports - and rebuild KDE ports. I think I'll be able to tell you
 exactly which ports you need to rebuild.

Ah, OK, I see.  Thanks for all the info.  Much appreciated.  I think
I'll just wait a bit, do the official 4.7.4 (re)install when it
becomes available, and then try area52 again later.

Take care,

Conrad

 I'll add here that we're going to upgrade KDE SC in ports to 4.7.4 as

Just wanted to mention that I did exactly that just yesterday, and it
was one of the most painless upgrades I've ever had the pleasure of
performing.  All I had to to was change KDE4_VERSION in bsd.kde4.mk,
remove one obsoleted patch file under sysutils/kdeadmin4
(patch-kuser_CMakeLists.txt), adjust /etc/make.conf to use gcc on a
few ports that failed to build with clang, do a 'make makesum' on all
of the affected ports, and everything built and installed just fine.

This also had the unexpected happy side effect of clearing up a few
issues I was having with my existing KDE installation.  Everything's
working splendidly now.

Users will be very happy, I expect, when this upgrade is made
available.  :-)

 This means you now have some leftover files in KDE4_PREFIX. I suggest
 using area51 ports in such cases.
 Anyway, the upgrade will go in quite soon.

I did take a look at the area51 stuff a month or two ago, but had so

Alright, the patch applied cleanly and the build succeeded.
Reinstalled from the newly built port, and all seems well.

I don't know if it's related or not, but the problems I was having
running certain apps (ktorrent, for one) seem to have cleared up.  I
managed to boot into the Plasma (failsafe) desktop, tweaked a few
settings, and things are working much better overall now (after logging
out and back in to the normal Plasma desktop).

Thanks!

 kdelibs4 includes /usr/local/include *before* /usr/local/include/qt4,
 so, when Qt 3 is installed, its headers are included instead of Qt 4
 ones. This patch should change the order of compiler includes. I
 don't know if it's enough, though.

I see.  Well, it should certainly help, at least.  As to whether it's
enough, I couldn't begin to tell you just now.  :-)

Anyway, thanks for taking the time to do this.  I'm sure it's an
improvement for that port.

 Quite unlikely: Qt 4 installs to different directories.

 This is probably related to Phonon and its backends. Which backend are
 you currently using?

Yes, it's Phonon.  When I go to configure sound in amarok, the button
in the dialog that comes up says Configure Phonon.

I'm currently using the gstreamer backend.  Should I try something else?
You just got me to thinking here.  I hadn't considered that possibility.

Hmmm, time for further investigation...  :-)

 The only other recommended (as it maintained) backend is the vlc
 one, you could see if that one works better for you. But the
 gstreamer one should work just fine too.
 
 Whatever the outcome is, please consider filing a bug report in
 bugs.kde.org.

Got it working!  Yay!

I installed both the xine and vlc plugins, and in the process
discovered my kdemultimedia4 install had never actually completed, so
did that, too.

Sounding just fine now.

[kde-freebsd] KDE4's multimedia subsystem won't handle sound device properly

2011-08-20 Thread Conrad J. Sabatier
I'm seeing a general problem in KDE 4's multimedia's subsystem's
handling of my sound card, where apps such as amarok-2.4.3 (amarok-kde4)
erroneously report:

Sound device HDA Realtek ALC888 PCM #0 Analog (pcm) is not working,
falling back to default

(what exactly *is* this default, anyway?). 

When I try to configure sound inside amarok, the test sound plays fine
using PCM #0, but as soon as I actually try to use it outside of the
configuration dialog, another popup appears with the above message.

Meanwhile, sound is hideously garbled.  I can hear the file I'm trying
to play, but at the same time, I'm hearing something that sounds like
water sluicing through a drainpipe (I know, hardly a very technical
description, but that's what it sounds like, I swear).  :-)

Sound works just fine under KDE 3 and any other environment.  Only KDE
4 is exhibiting this odd behavior.

Any suggestions?  I've already done a recursive rebuild/reinstall of
both amarok-kde4 and kde4, to no avail.

[kde-freebsd] I need a small favor

2008-07-20 Thread Conrad J. Sabatier
Hi there, Jim,

I was wondering if I might ask a small favor of you.  If I remember
correctly, you said your laptop had a built-in camera, doesn't it?
Would you mind very much if I came by and just took a quick picture or
two of myself, so I'd have something I could upload to the guys on these
personals websites I've been visiting?  Nothing pornographic, just a
simple portrait-type shot.  :-)  Right now, I have no pictures of
myself at all, hardcopy or otherwise, and I do think I'd have a much
better chance of getting some results from these sites if I had something
to show, you know?

Please let me know if this would be OK with you.  I'd be forever
grateful!  :-)

Thanks in advance,

Conrad
