[opensuse-factory] KDE4 and DBus permissions
Hey Group; Where is it set that DBus has now permission to see or use a new version of Amarok? I do download and compile many programs. Like a git of Amarok. openSuSE is becoming a headache or at least KDE4 / DBus is. I am beginning to see Linux becoming to secure when a user can not work with external software. Based on problems thing will not compile and depends fails. I do realize that QT and others upgrade or change. However, why does DBus and other software need to be concerned with registered software won't work. I do come from the days when many small programs are better than big ones. And running openSuSE even back to SuSE purchase versions back in the 1900s -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb@comcast.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Knowing our Amarok packages, Donn is installing it as an unprivileged user and is not setting "-DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=$HOME/somewhere/unimportant" when calling cmake so it is still trying to install to /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces. It's explained at http://amarok.kde.org/wiki/Compiling which is linked from the INSTALL file in the sources. Donn, the topic of opensuse-factory@ is building the openSUSE distribution. We're happy to help you compile your own KDE software at opensuse- kde@opensuse.org. There is also a packaged amarok git snapshot in KDE:Unstable:Playground at the OBS which is updated every few days, if you prefer the easy route.
