kde 4.4.2 network manager (experimental snapshots) and pidgin do not coexist well
Hi kde 4.4 packager,
First a big thank for the packaging: I've been updating my kde 4.3 from
to 4.4.2 and I'm overall very pleased by it. I've have been facing only
two minort glitch:
1) At install I've been unable to complete install of
network-manager related packages because of dbus problem (installation
hang). I add to reboot to fix the problem. Doing apt-get -f install was
not sufficient. After reboot, I manged to run the apt-get -f install
successfully.
2) Then I noticed that pidgin was unable to complete
initialisation. I add to disable accounts and reenable accounts. This is
a known problem but I did not experience it before the upgrade. As I use
wicd (and have it configured properly as the network manager in system
config), I removed all network-manager related packages and pidgin works
again.
Side effect: audio. I finally managed to configure pulse correctly but
some postinstall script are clearly missing (user in pulse-access group,
and /etc/asound.conf to create a pulse interface.
Thanks for the good work anyway,
-- eric
