Santa, if you don't get feedback from others on your installation and upgrade from KDE SC 4 questions, I am willing to re-install from scratch to check it.  Just say the word -- you can PM me.


Please go ahead.

Well, I doubt it would work so "well" with recommends disabled. What I meant is installing from scratch in a new machine without the recommends enabled, this way some packages won't be installed. Thanks for testing anyway, I take note of the issues.

I reinstalled siduction nox (in a virtual machine) from zero. ;)

the I installed with --install-recommends option... isn't it the same?

That enables the recommends. But I asked here 
http://forum.siduction.org/index.php?topic=4793.msg39751#msg39751
to also try with "install recommends" disabled (if you want and have time of course).

Sorry for the double post,


the latest couple of days I have been working on some scripts which I have to automate part of the work of packaging KDE's Frameworks and Plasma 5 in order to make sure new versions arrive in time. To test these scripts I made with them a new set of packages including the latest changes in Kubuntu's packaging. As a nice side effect I noticed that:
  • krunner works now
  • you have a default wallpaper

So I have just made this new set of packages available in kdenext/kde-frameworks. The dist-upgrade from the previous packages is supported (i.e. suposed to work).

Please go ahead.



OK will do today.  First, I ran a dist-upgrade on the VM that I have, and pulled in your new packages.  FYI, this minor error occurred:


Code: [Select]
Unpacking libkf5parts-plugins (5.0.0-siduction1) ...
dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libkf5parts-plugins_5.0.0-siduction1_amd64.deb (--unpack):
 trying to overwrite '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt5/plugins/spellcheckplugin.so', which is also in package libkf5parts-bin 5.0.0-0r0
.
.
.

Error: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


However this was resolved with


Code: [Select]
dpkg --configure -a and all packages were installed.


So, I will start with the siduction-3.2.1-december-kde-amd64 iso, update it, and then see what happens when I add the repo and attempt a d-u.

Thanks for reporting this, possible fix uploaded.

Thank you, please remember to install kde-full on top of the default siduction's kde installation.

Thank you, please remember to install kde-full on top of the default siduction's kde installation.

Good thing you reminded me -- I would not have remembered to do that.

So, december-kde4 64-bit is installed and fully updated, including kde-full.  That took some time.  Now I have enabled the kdenext/kde-frameworks repo, and updated, and tested a dist-upgrade.  Here is the output:

Is this expected?  Shall I proceed with installing the d-u?

It's somewhat expected but not ok, plasma-desktop (the package which would provide) is being kept back. That's one of the things which need fixing in packaging. So no, you shoudln't proceed with the dist-upgrade.


Thank you for the reply.

Good.  I will leave that system in its current state and watch for further guidance here.

Hi dibl,

Good.  I will leave that system in its current state and watch for further guidance here.

yesterday I pushed some updates which I have been working on the latest few days. Right now I think you should be able to upgrade from KDE SC 4 installed with 'kde-full' as long as you don't have any kde-l10n-something package installed, that's an additional issue which is being worked on and I hope  to solve it soon.

Hi Santa,

OK thanks.  I searched for kde-l10n-* and found about 6 or 7 packages installed, so I removed them.  Then, here is what I did:

First, with the kde-frameworks repo disabled, I fully updated the system, and rebooted it.  Then, I enabled the kde-frameworks repo and ran d-u.  Here is the output:

Yes, as long as the machine you are upgrading is not a a "production" machine everything seems ok. By the way frameworks 5.1.0 and plasma 5.0.1 are coming, I will open a new thread for them.

OK the d-u went through without error and upon reboot KDE5 came up very much the same as the one that I installed on siduction nox.  A little playing around revealed that systemsettings>multimedia is crashy on this VM also -- possibly that has to do with it being on a VM instead of real hardware.  Otherwise everything that I played with seems to work as expected.  Thanks for your work on this Santa!

I have just pushed a set of updates:
  • the issue with kde-l10n-* is now fixed, so it's safe to dist-upgrade from KDE SC 4 even if you have any kde-l10n-something installed
  • the KDE Frameworks libraries were updated from 5.0.0 to 5.1.0 (released last friday)
OK the d-u went through without error and upon reboot KDE5 came up very much the same as the one that I installed on siduction nox.  A little playing around revealed that systemsettings>multimedia is crashy on this VM also -- possibly that has to do with it being on a VM instead of real hardware.  Otherwise everything that I played with seems to work as expected.  Thanks for your work on this Santa!


I doubt the crash in systemsettings multimedia has something to do with your virtual machine, it seems to me an unrepoducible bug; someone in kubuntu's irc mentioned something similar. Since plasma 5.0.1 is going to be released soon: let's wait until I get this new version of plasma in siduction (hopefully soon) and if you still have the crash I can guide you to provide a meaningful backtrace.

Just ran the updates.  I see that the "kdesu" function is not yet working. Both window decorations work correctly, as long as you don't try to "Add more".  Under systemsettings>desktop behavior, I can set multiple virtual desktops and that works, but I don't see the ability to have different widgets for each desktop.
