Making Chakra KDE work on Archlinux

Postby viking60 » 21 Apr 2010, 16:41

This one is fetched from the Arch thread in distro talk:

When following the instructions on Chakras pages on adding KDE (repositories), it will crash if you download the full version - for sure!
Here is the fix:

After having installed KDE according to the instructions on the chakra pages:
Install qimageblitz

Code: Select all

pacman -S qimageblitz

This file is not correctly pulled when installing the chakra kde.
This will let you log in to KDE but plasma will crash after 10 sec.

To fix this new error you must remove :

Code: Select all

pacman -Rd kdemod-networkmanagement-networkmanager-plasmoid

(I also moved the chakre repositories up before the Arch repos in /etc/pacman.conf but I don't think that matters)

It now works :!:
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
