Bug 16584 – after emerge kde using the cvs ebuild, kde hangs on login.

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Niels Sandholt Busch 2003-02-28 15:34:48 UTC]

After emergin the kde cvs ebuild by Dan Armak, kde hangs on login. The Splashscreen 
suddenly disappears and I am left with a blue screen. I solved the problem adding the 
line KDEDIRS=/usr/kde/cvs to the file /etc/env.d/30kdelibs-5 . I believe this is a 
problem with the kde-cvs ebuild!?  

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge kde cvs using the kde cvs ebuild by Dan Armak 
2. Login.... kde hangs 
3. 
Actual Results:  
The KDE Splashscreen disappears suddenly and I am left with a blue screen. 

Expected Results:  
the login should have given me access to kde csv :-) 

I have Qt 3.1.0-r3, kde 3.1, kde cvs xfree-4.2.99.902

Do you have a stable 3.0.x or 3.1.x kdelibs installed? 
If so you probably need to update it to the latest revision available.

I have stable kdelibs 3.1_r1, But is it not the kde cvs ebuild who should put the line 
"KDEDIRS=/usr/kde/cvs" into /etc/env.d/30kdelibs-5 . That didn't happen when I 
emerged kde using the kde cvs ebuild. Or am I totally missing something here? 
 
To recap: All I'm saying is that the kde cvs ebuild should add the line 
"KDEDIRS=/usr/kde/cvs" into the file "/etc/env.d/30kdelibs-5".

KDEDIRS should only contain /usr/. please look at bug #15593 for more details.

Seems to work okay on this end - must be a fluke for the bug report.  No activity in a while, 
so I'm closing.
