[opensuse-kde] no plasma clocks after upgrade to SC:/kdepim46
after switching packages to SC:/kdepim46 all my plasma clocks (fuzzy, digital, analog) stopped working, with the error message: "Could not find requested component: clock". looking at /var/log/zypp/history, i see that only kdepim stuff got updated, plus quite a few perl libraries from OSS, apparently as dependencies of the new kdepim libs. i don't understand why this should affect plasma (widget) clocks, unless those use those perl libraries, too, and are not happy with the new choices. writing to the kde-devel mailing list, i got the following reply:
You're probably missing the libclock for plasma. It's a distro problem, not a plasma one nor a kontact one. Please enquire with your distribution,
i'm sure this has been caused by switching to the SC:/kdepim46 repo, and that whoever prepared those repos would like to know about that. but i'm puzzled where to report this as a bug: plasma, kontact, or what? -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Which repo did you had installed before ? If you were already running with KDF with kdepim 4.6, then the switch to the new repo shouldn't have brought in any new perl libraries from OSS.

Which openSUSE version are you running ?

At this moment I doubt very much if this has anything to do with kdepimlibs and/or kdepim. Neither one is influecing (afaik) the way plasma behaves. Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Sorry to say so, but this is not entirely correct. Fact is the clocks use a component called "view-pim-calendar" as calendar extender. See your ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc, search for "clock". To me (a novice in terms of compiling kde4) this looks like the following: - The plasma-clock-applets want to load "view-pim-calendar" - "view-pim-calendar" is provides (AFAIK) by kdepim ergo: - SC:/kdepim46 also needs to contain the plasma-clock-applets compiled for kdepim46 or the plasma clocks wont work. Please correct me if I'm wrong here.

Hmm, didn't think about that part. In the past a similar repo was provided without any issues, but I guess that the difference between Beta2 and the kdepim snapshot is too big which causes these unwanted "side effects".
ergo: - SC:/kdepim46 also needs to contain the plasma-clock-applets compiled for kdepim46 or the plasma clocks wont work. I have added the package kdebase4-workspace to this repository, which should take care of the clock. This package is a direct link to the sources of KDE:Distro:Factory, so it shouldn't have any bad side effects and it should resolve the clock issue.

when do you expect this to show up in the repo? until now i don't see kdebase4-workspace in SC:/kdepim46 re. your earlier questions: - i'm using openSUSE 11.4 (factory), and have KDE Distro:/Factory installed; - the plasma-clock related libraries are installed; - kdebase4-workspace version is kdebase4-workspace-4.5.85-544.1.x86_64; re. those perl libraries, i assume they were automatic updates from the OSS repo which i didn't notice before switching to your kdepim46 repo (in YAST).

i could update /kdepim46 repo packages only now, since earlier KDE factory repos weren't completely updated to RC1 on my mirrors. now everything works fine, with clocks & calendars as before. didn't run into any problems with kmail2 & co either, but haven't tested very much yet. everything i routinely use works fine. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
Hi Phani, A couple more questions: On Wednesday 22 December 2010 01:26:21 phanisvara das wrote:

Which perl libraries got pulled in ? I have checked kdepimlibs, etc, but they do not have any perl requirements.
You're probably missing the libclock for plasma. It's a distro problem, Did you check if you have the following files on your workstation :
/usr/lib(64)/libplasmaclock.so.4 /usr/lib(64)/libplasmaclock.so.4.6.0 and /usr/lib(64)/kde4/plasma_applet_binaryclock.so /usr/lib(64)/kde4/plasma_applet_fuzzy_clock.so /usr/lib(64)/kde4/plasma_applet_worldclock.so /usr/lib(64)/kde4/plasma_applet_dig_clock.so /usr/lib(64)/kde4/plasma_applet_clock.so What is the output of the command `rpm -q kdebase4-workspace` ?
