M_R Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Hello, I have Mandriva 2010 and I've been thinking on trying that Nepomuk thing. The fact that you can search documents by content is relevant to my interests. However, I ran into many problems while trying to enable it. Can you give me a hand with this. I managed to have Nepomuk start (I go to the KDE control center and can freely click on the box to enable Nepomuk). I can also see the add tag or somehting like that in the information panel in dolphin. So I believe Nepomuk is working. However it does nothing and the second box, the one to enable Strigi always gives me the 'Strigi failed to initialize. This could be a problem with the installation' error. I read somewhere that I need to install openjdk and change the locale to EN-US, but that is not an option here, and I hate openjdk because it gets on top of the real JDK I have, and its functionality is not suitable to my needs. Any help would be appreciated. A little update = > I discovered the problem: I must install the opensesame package, the problem is that it needs Java and rpmdrake forces me to install one of several choices but I DON'T want to. I already have a manually installed official Java version and the whole system works with that. Is there a way of installing the plugin without modifying this? UPDATE: I SOLVED IT MYSELF: I needed the opensesame fronted. So here is my little guide for enabling Nepomuk and Strigi on Mandriva 2010 * Make sure that Nepomuk and Strigi are installed. * Make sure that OpenJDK is installed. If you hate it like me you'll need to replace the entries for java and co. under /usr/bin. These will be the commands that come up when you type java in a terminal, so you will want to make a symlink for YOUR java programs (the official java distribution). That way the real java will come up everytime you type 'java'. * Make sure that soprano-plugin-sesame2 is installed * Some say that you must create a symlink for the libjvm.so located at /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/lib/i386/server, but I didn't need to it. OK that is how I solved it. I had everything installed save for the annoying openjdk and opensesame. Hope it helps somebody Edited June 21, 2011 by M_R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
