KDE 4.5.2

[pisacksen]

Just installed KDE 4.5.2 under Kubuntu 10.10 and compositing has been suspended. Video card is a ATI Raedon RV370. No x logs, kernal, etc... Anybody seen anything similar?

Re: KDE 4.5.2

For me after upgrade broken plasma due to some plasmoids which were working without problems from Lucid to Maverick from KDE 4.4.x to 4.5.1. In Systray are not visible non KDE4 icons (and also KDE4 KTeaTime icon). Broken system settings. Ubuntu fonts everywhere again without my permission. Terrible upgrade.

With ppa-purge I'am reverting KDE to 4.5.1.

edit:
Broken SysTray was probably due to Plasma settings broken during upgrade, btw. plasma-desktop-appletsrc with every upgrade is bigger and bigger and absolutely not understandable. Ubuntu font everywhere probably because kubuntu-default-settings is overwriting custom settings for fonts >.

edit2:
second upgrade to 4.5.2 (after removing kubuntu-default-settings and deleting plasma-desktop-appletsrc) was successful.

Re: KDE 4.5.2

Just upgraded. No problems here. The Ubuntu-font problem has nothing to do with kde 4.5.2; it was there before and was part of the "official" updates.

kubuntu-default-settings are affecting KDE font settings. After upgrade to KDE 4.5.2 my custom font settings (in kdeglobals) were overwritten with settings from kubuntu-default-settings. Similar problem I had before, through upgrade of 4.5.1. It is some bug, it shouldn't overwrite my custom settings.

I guess that I'll wait for a while prior to upgrading to 4.5.2. How will I know it is safe and how can I revert back to 4.5.1?

Upgraded my VM to 4.5.2 just now - no issues, running fine.

Just remove kubuntu-default-settings and/or ttf-ubuntu-font-family pakages if they caused problem with font setting.

To revert back to 4.5.1 , from terminal, do:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

then

sudo ppa-purge ppa:kubuntu-ppa

Re: KDE 4.5.2

Thanks. Just re-tried it. No problem. Compositing works perfect. Very odd. I've had some challenges with my KVM switch causing so weirdness at install time.

Re: KDE 4.5.2

I've now upgraded to Kde 4.5.2 as well, and anything's running fine, including compositing.

Re: KDE 4.5.2

Hi folks

How do you upgrade? I refreshed my kubuntu maverick sources and it doesn't show the 4.5.2 packages (I have apt pointing to one of the mirrors, but it seems to be up to date otherwise)

Thanks!

Re: KDE 4.5.2

Oh, sorry, answering to myself (from a previous post in this thread): this needs to be installed from a ppa! I thought I read somewhere that maverick would include 4.5.2, maybe I misunderstood.

Re: KDE 4.5.2

Let me just add, by looking at the level of patching KDE 4.5.1 has in the main repository, it probably is almost indistinguishable from 4.5.2. I think I'll pass for now ...

Re: KDE 4.5.2

According to kubuntu.org/news, this is only for 10.10.

Anybody know why 4.5.2 isn't being released for 10.04?

Or is there another way to do it?

Easy, because the final of Maverick 10.10 is coming out this Sunday. If you want 4.5.2 from Kubuntu, upgrade to 10.10.

Or is there another way to do it?

Yes. Download the source and compile it yourself if you insist on sticking with Lucid.

Re: KDE 4.5.2

Or, be patient.

I am staying with Lucid for the full 3 years (unless subsequent releases are so compelling that I am "forced" to upgrade ). I suspect that sooner or later it will appear in the Lucid backport ppa. Probably with all four bugs worked out.
