Re: kde fully broken in debian/testing
Hi,
In fact, I did the update yesterday. It was quite painful but it's now
working OK-ish:
* You need to move all the plasma packages to the version 5 (I'm
using testing so I had to force the packar manager to use them).
* Check that you have powerdevil, plasma-desktop, kdeartwork, etc in
version 5.
* Purge the old plasma packages.
* You need to restart the session (otheriwse it's compltely broken);
* I added a `kwin` script in my path (doing 'exec kwin_init "$@").
It's probably not needed if you have updated all your packages but
at some point I did not have window decoration and adding this
fixed it. It was probably because I was still using some Plasma 4
packages.
* I had to manually launch kbuildsycoca5 (otherwise systemsettings
wouldn't display any configuration panel).
Some remaining issues:
* systemsettings segaults sometimes but it's mostly working.
* There is not support for XEmbed systray by design: xchat, hexchat,
nm-applet, etc. are quite broken. We're supposed to fill a lot of
bugs in a log of packages in order to have SNI support in the
applications. I used trayer [1] in order to have a systray.
Good luck!
