KDE SC 4.13 arriving to kdenext

[Santa]

Good morning,


The KDE SC 4.13 is available in experimental-snapshots. The version of all the packages right now is 4.13.0 except for kdelibs (which was already updated to 4.13.1) and kde-workspace (which is still 4.11.x because there won't be any kde-workspace 4.12.x or 4.13.x, as you probably already know).


KDE SC 4.13.1 was already released so the packages will be updated and moved to unstable soon if that's possible.


Warning: in this KDE SC release nepomuk was replaced by baloo. Unfortunately right now you can't deactivate it pressing a button like you did with nepomuk, this issue will be taken care of, however if that's a big problem for you feel free to hold your dist-upgrade until it's fixed.


Cheers.

Update went well, no problems discovered.
Thanx for your good work santa!

The move to the sid packages went without any errors.

Please also notice, that KDE 4.13.1 enters sid:

Only a few bits were uploaded so far. Given the way the person in charge of kde manages the uploads, I strongly recommend to not dist-upgrade until 4.13.1 is in kdenext/unstable.

[Santa]

KDE SC 4.13.1 moved to unstable. If you are using the experimental new kdepim packages in kdepim-ng you should wait a bit more for dist-upgrading because the kdepim 4.13 isn't packaged yet.


With regarding to the "I can't disable baloo" issue there is an alternate kcm for baloo, this kcm allows you to disable the file indexing (unlike the default one). To install this kcm you can just do a simple "apt-get install baloo-kcmadv".

Nice work all good here

[ghettoblaster]

confirmed, nothing gets removed, all fine 

[Ercolinux]

Sharing the same nice (usual) experience here too 
thanks

Users that are fully upgraded to kde 4.13 are using baloo instead of nepomuk, that sucked donkey dicks for a long time. So now, the rewrite baloo does the same job of indexing in the background. You can use the search in deolphin, but I would ask you to use a new tool that is not in official kde yet, but that santa packaged for us. It is called milou and is a search widget and more.

apt install plasma-widget-milou After that, activate the widget and log out and back in to kde. Now your widget should be ready to work. you can customize the order in which results are presented.


For a nice read on milou and the plans for it, look at:
http://vhanda.in/blog/2014/03/introducing-milou/
and for a deeper look:

Please report, how it works for you. It crashes plasma for santa but works fine for musca and me, which might be related to gfx and drivers.

Seems to be working fine here.

If you have kdenext in your sources.list you should be (except for kdepim which is 4.4).

... on my computer plasma desktop always crashes upon restart after installing the milou widget.
Fully upgraded siduction, nouveau driver.
