I've just restarted X after installing today's updates and many plasmoids are now broken. The update removed some plasmoids and installed an updated set. Anyone know what is going on and how to restore working plasmoids?

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
Same here. "Show Desktop" fails with a "Could not find requested component: showdesktop" message and "Show Widget Dashboard" complains about the showdashboard component.Comment

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
This is due to some broken dependencies.
For me, the kdeplasma-addons package didn't got already updated to 4.2.1.
It's the same for kmail, so kdepim also stays on 4.2.0 on my machine.
Maybe after some time all the packages will get updated correctly. (well, I hope it...
)

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
My kdeplasma is already updated to 4.2.1. Even reinstalling the new package (4:4.2.1-0ubuntu1) it didn't work (the plasmonoid to show the desktop still fails to work). Seems a broken package:

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
that still seems to lack the amd64 version of the package (http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-exp...plasma-addons/).
My workaround:
- enable the ppa src (add in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kubuntu-experimental/ubuntu intrepid main)
$ sudo apt-get source kdeplasma-addons //download kdeplasma-addons_4.2.1 sources
$ sudo apt-get build-dep kdeplasma-addons
$ cd kdeplasma-addons-4.2.1
$ sudo debuild -us -uc
If all is fine, the packages are in:
$ cd ../
$ ls *.deb
kdeplasma-addons_4.2.1-0ubuntu1~intrepid1_amd64.deb kdeplasma-addons-dbg_4.2.1-0ubuntu1~intrepid1_amd64.deb
kdeplasma-addons-data_4.2.1-0ubuntu1~intrepid1_all.deb
Finally to install the packages:
$ sudo dpkg -i kdeplasma-addons_4.2.1-0ubuntu1~intrepid1_amd64.deb kdeplasma-addons-data_4.2.1-0ubuntu1~intrepid1_all.deb
and voila' now my plasmoids are come back!

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
OK,
does somebody has an idea of when they will submit the amd64 versions of the packages?
And why are those versions later online than the other ones, so that this creates erroneous package dependencies because some parts are already in amd64, while others are not.Comment

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
Thanks! I completely missed that kdeplasma-addons didn't upgrade properly. Compiled from source and now I can access my desktop again.

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
Thanks Joe!Originally posted by joethefox
BTW for some reason I did not have 'debuild' installed nor in my repos so I got round this using:
sudo dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
PS. To get 'debuild' use:
sudo apt-get install devscripts

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
Following the above ...
when I run;
sudo apt-get build-dep kdeplasma-addons
I get;
E: Build-dependencies for kdeplasma-addons could not be satisfied.
Can anyone tell me what I should do ...
Thanks.

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
Avocado... forgive me for suggesting but it might be worth trying to update repos after updating sources list i.e.
sudo apt-get updateComment

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
esdaniel.
Hey ... thanks for helping ... sounds like I didn't do the obvious thing, which is not surprising being as how I am one degree this side of clueless.
Anyway ...
running;
sudo apt-get update
returns;
Reading package lists... Done

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
I am unable to compile it from source. Apparently I don't have all libraries installed. I get:Originally posted by joethefox
Make Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
OPENGL_gl_LIBRARY (ADVANCED)
linked by target "plasma_applet_bluemarble" in directory /home/magda/debian/kdeplasma-addons-4.2.1/applets/bluemarble
What am I missing?
EDIT: I guess problem solved - binaries have been uploaded

Re: Today's KDE 4.2 update breaks plasmoids
I have never encountered this kind of error ... apt-get build-dep should download all the dependencies for the compilation, however in the meantime they have updated the repository ...Comment
