mmodem

Forgot to say that smart packaged by MDE already have all needed repositories, thats why so far i didnt add nothing in MDE website explaining how to add the MDE repos to smart :)

In fact this is a more complicated problem, this is a urpmi problem that isnt able to recusivelly search inside sufolders that exist in RPMS folder.

So i think the best option is to just start using smart and i will post in MDE webpage how to add the MDE repos to smart.

Meanwhile run this as rooter to add MDE repo to smart:

smart channel -y --add MDE type=urpmi baseurl=http://www.mde.djura.org/2007.1/RPMS hdlurl=hdlist.cz

I have check the script and this is a bug from the package rpmtools done by mandriva that when generating hdlists files doesnt set anymore the recursive option, so doesnt search/add subfolders.

So to workaround this untill this annoying bug can be fixed, i will move the kde rpms to the RPMS folder.

urpmi.addmedia MDE http://www.mde.djura.org/2007.1/RPMS with synthesis.hdlist.cz
adding medium "MDE"
http://www.mde.djura.org/2007.1/RPMS/synthesis.hdlist.cz
unable to parse hdlist file of "MDE"
problem reading synthesis file of medium "MDE"
unable to update medium "MDE"
removing medium "MDE"

 

i don't know what else to do..

 

please..

Im sorry but sems to exist some problems with the file synthesis.hdlist.cz, so instead you could do:

urpmi.addmedia MDE http://www.mde.djura.org/2007.1/RPMS with hdlist.cz

but this will not install the kde rpms, so untill the script that generates hdlists files is fixed please download the kde rpms to you hd and then create a local media and install them from there.

When i created the 2007.1 MDE repos i forgot to generate hdlists files, but that was already fixed some days ago, so you can go now and update your MDE repos.

> Should not change "./configure" scripts.

 

On line 26440 and 26442:

 

PYTHON_PREFIX='${prefix}'

PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX='${prefix}'

 

If I use "./configure --prefix=/usr"

the substitution WILL NOT WORK.

 

If I change the 2 lines to:

PYTHON_PREFIX=${prefix}

PYTHON_EXEC_PREFIX=${prefix}

 

The substitution work, but "make install" FAILED because of problems with directory names.

 

I try to change "${prefix}" to "%{prefix}, but it DOES NOT WORK.

 

Any idea why the substitution did not work inside '' (quote) signs?

 

I use Bash-3.2 compiled from source code.

 

Thank you.

o didnt paid much attention to what was wrote, i didnt saw that you were complaining about compiling, but i still dont get why the hell are you trying to build any when you already have all software packaged and even worst when you dont have experience about it.

I havent understand what you are trying to buld, why you are trying to building it when already told you how to run daemon avahi-daemon.

You must take in consideration that if your going to build a recent avahi version you will also have to build all that depends on it, since avahi version build for 2006 is an old one, so you will have to rebuild all kde stuff and all that depends on avahi.

First is build for mandriva 2007.1 that will be out officially in some days, then mandirva kde has errors and flaws, for example doesnt have an Home icon or to run konqueror as root and this kde is build with pch, its a faster kde.

Hi

I want to install Avahi daemon for Mandriva 2006.0 using binary or source code.

 

http://www.avahi.org

 

1. Binary:

from MDE.DJURA.ORG: failed to start avahi daemon.

 

2. Source:

Configure script failed to detect python site-packages directory:

"{Prefix}/lib/python......./site-packages" and

"{Exec_Prefix}/lib/python......./site-packages.

 

It should be: "/usr/lib/python......../site-packages".

 

The script also failed to detect "Python module GTK".

 

I had compiled pyGTK-2.8.6 for GTK-2.8 from source code. The pyGTK is installed at: "/usr/lib/python....../site-packages/gtk-2.0". There is also "/usr/lib/pkgconfig/pygtk-2.0.pc" file with correct "prefix" entry (ie "/usr" )

 

Using "--disable-python" the script works, but after compile and install:

"failed to start avahi daemon"

 

Is there any read to run avahi daemon binary packages for Mandriva?

How to install avahi-daemon?

 

Thank you.

You should not change nothing in the script since all is as it should be, %{prefix} stands for /usr

Have you correctly installed MDE packages?

anyway to check if the service avahi-daemon is runing, run as root:

service avahi-daemon status

If the service isnt running (since this is a service that doesnt stay active by default), to start the service run as root:

service avahi-daemon start

but you can also run as root drakxservices to see all services status

mandriva 2006 is an old version, you should upgrade to this new version 2007.1 that will be publicly out in some days.

New kde-3.5.7 build for Mandriva 2007.1 (both arches available) available at the usual place :)

http://www.mde.djura.org/2007.1_64/RPMS/

Installation instructions are also available respectivily for both arches:

http://www.mde.djura.org/kde_install_2007_32.html

http://www.mde.djura.org/kde_install_2007_64.html

there is also IRC support in Freenode irc servers in channel #MDE.

Have fun :)

2007.1 has KDE 3.5.6 by default, isn't it?

Yes, it comes with 3.5.6

Because the kde we do in MDE has fixed errors, is faster (build with precompiled headers), and has options that mandriva kde.

Im starting to build kde-3.5.6 for MDE/mandriva 2007.1 but i would like to include ksplash moodin but for that i dont have MDE images...

So i ask if there is anyone interested in giving a hand to create some MDE images to intregate the new kde for MDE/Mandriva2007.1

kind regards,

Please show in detail what were the conflicts.

Since in MDE we put files in correct places (in oposition to the mandriva kde packagers), still happens this type of conflicts, so for just uninstall mandriva kdeutils and kdepim that im buinding a new releease of those with that fixed.

Or you can wait that i release them publicly tomorrow, but is much more simple to just uninstall them, you should also take a look at the mde webpage kde install instructions in we advise to first remove mandriva kde before upgrading to kde MDE and there is explained howto do it.

how is the more easy way to uopdate to kde 3.5.6 ?

Just use the rpm management tools like for example smart or rpmdrake and select the kde suite packages.

You have all the necessary info in www.mde.djura.org

I have updated KDE and experience from time to time when using 3D effects that the top part of each window (with the minimise, maximise buttons etc) is not present and that applications are also not responding appropriately (no change of focus perhaps?)

What sort of diagnostic info would be useful?

HB

What type of 3D effects app are you using?

Beryl or Compiz?

Compiz is considered old compared with beryl, anyway i dont recommend the use of anynoe cause they still arent stable running in mandriva.

Its not me who use to do the localization/internationalization rpms, its Thac that uses to do it, but ill ask him if he can do it, meanwhile you can use the i18n rpms from kde-3.5.5.

New releases build with new libparted-1.8.1

gparted-0.3.3-2mde2007.0

and

qtparted-0.4.5-6mde2007.0

available at the usual place

Have fun partitioning :)

Correct, the symlinks creation in done during %post and %pre install scripts, so users can choose.

Why? I mean Adobe makes an rpm of it which worked flawlessly. What's the difference?

Take a good look to where the files are installed with adobe rpm, konqueror and mozilla cant locate it, now check what mde flashplayer rpm does.

I have packaged FlashPlayer 9 final.

available at the usual place -> www.mde.djura.org

FlashPlayer-9.0.31.0-1mde2007.0.i586.rpm

have fun

There a new gimp version available at MDE -> gimp-2.3.12-1.mdv2007.0.mde

Enter in www.mde.djura.org and see how to add the repository all other necessary info like adding kde-3.5.6

have fun

kde-3.5.6 released for both arches x86 and x86_64

This is available at the usual place http://www.mde.djura.org

You can directly access the rpms through:

for 32 bits -> http://www.mde.djura.org/2007.0/RPMS/

for 64 bits -> http://www.mde.djura.org/2007.0_64/RPMS/

have fun :)

Thanks so much. :D

 

Your endless help encouraged me to relook at using MDE KDE, and I would like to be at 3.5.5. I have used it before but always seemed to have the odd dependency issue and sometimes the odd problem (I think I have mentioned HAL issues on these forums before).

I dont know to what hal issues are you refering, it did happened some problems regarding hal with kde-3.5.4 but they were also resolved in mandriva2006, and you must give details about what your refering else we will not be able to help.

Hmm smart-suite brings in ksmarttray that is built against and require mde kde.

So it is not a bug.

But if you just want smart and smart-gui thoose 2 should not require mde-kde.

Seams your not reading with attention what i say, if you do urpmi or rpmdrake it will laos upgrade your restant packages and if you dont have kde mde installed is natural that requires it, take a look now to what smart packages requires:

~]$ rpmquery --requires smart-suite

smart = 1:0.50-0.svn847.1.mde2007.0

smart-gui = 1:0.50-0.svn847.1.mde2007.0

smart-update = 1:0.50-0.svn847.1.mde2007.0

ksmarttray = 1:0.50-0.svn847.1.mde2007.0

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

~]$ rpmquery --requires smart

python >= 2.4

python < 2.5

python

python-rpm

usermode-consoleonly

/bin/sh

rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1

rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1

python-base >= 2.4

python-base

libc.so.6()(64bit)

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2.5)(64bit)

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)(64bit)

libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)(64bit)

libpthread.so.0()(64bit)

Now as i said, smart-suite is a wrapper to install all smart rpms and that includes ksmarttray, and ksmarttray requires: libkdecore >= 30000000:3.5.5-1.mdv2007.0.mde

]$ rpmquery --requires ksmarttray|grep kde

libkdecore >= 30000000:3.5.5-1.mdv2007.0.mde

libkdecore.so.4()(64bit)

libkdefx.so.4()(64bit)

libkdeui.so.4()(64bit)

So if you dont want the mde kde installed (wich i dont get since is the best kde out there) you can simply install the packages:

smart

smart-gui

smart-update

No, smart-suite is only a wrapper to install smart modules, doesnt requires anything else, and you are running urpmi, so what happens is that triggers the updates to be installed, that is a thing you must ask to mandriva developers.

As you know we do recommend smart since sometimes urpmi or rpmdrake create inexistant problems, anyway to just install smart-suite run rpmdrake and choose it instead runing urpmi.
