kdenext-repo-users only: KDE 4.10 is coming

[der_bud]

This will possibly not hit plain siduction, only the early adopters with KDE 4.9 who have siduction.org/kdenext enabled [1]: KDE 4.10.1 is coming in as an easter egg, nice  :lol:

Watch out for what is being removed and what will be reinstalled, D-U this morning had a lot to tell (http://paste.siduction.org/20130402063006). Care for your productive systems, test in VM or such. More info from team as well as release-announcement will come, I am sure. Thank you, team and santa.

There
http://news.siduction.org/2013/04/kde-sc-4-10-1-packages-for-siduction-and-debian/
seems to be a wrong entry:

...
Besides KDE SC 4.10.1 we also have a fresh Razor-Qt 5.2 in our repo. For that you need

deb http://packages.siduction.org/razorqt unstable.org

in your sources.list.

I assume thisone is right:

deb http://packages.siduction.org/razorqt unstable main

There is a bug in the packages in repo causing suspend and hibernate options to disappear from power management. Here (http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=110296) is a bit more info. Fix exists already, I assume updated package just needs to be rebuilt and uploaded to siduction repo by it's maintainer.

In kate missing the support for pate...

i have read that for enable it's need to uncomment a row on the cmakelist.txt.

I have installed and i have no problem :-P

On my desktop system my usual KDE bits (dolphin, kate, etc.) seem fine in the new version.  Strangely, of all things, alsaplayer has suddenly stopped working -- it worked yesterday just before the KDE upgrade, and now won't go from krunner or in terminal, and shows no error output.  I can't imagine why that would be related to a KDE upgrade, but .... there you have it.


EDIT: On the positive side, Bangarang has stopped crashing, so that's a player alternative now.

EDIT #2: Never mind about alsaplayer -- a zombie alsaplayer process from 2 days ago was preventing it running.  Killed the zombie, and problem solved.

Initially the du produced a white screen with a movable cursor; nothing else. Couldn't even configure anything on the desktop. Luckily purging the .kde cache solved that.

So apart from that the du went OK.

[michaa7]

That's *exactly* what I wrote above. But you didn't care to notice ...

[agaida]

some browser or cache fault, i think - dont have the second part of your post, only the cite of devils news entry. and yes, your line is absolutely right, sorry for the noise.

[DeepDayze]

Sounds good, let me know when its safe to switch from 4.9.5 (which I got from kde-qt repo) to 4.10.1

If all the bugs in the packages as reported above are fixed put up an update for us as well

Should I also delete/rename the .kde folder before upgrading?

[agaida]

works for me™ - but if you have objections, you should wait for two or three days

[DeepDayze]

OK I did add kdenext to my sources.list d and did a test to see what gets installed/removed:

One thing I saw was libnepomuksync4 is to be removed...is it OK to let this package go?

[agaida]

yes, that library was removed upstream

[DeepDayze]

yes, that library was removed upstream

OK great, thanks
