#28338: kdebase4 @4.6.0 - KDE applications don't start -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Reporter: habmalnefrage@… | Owner: snc@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.2 Keywords: KDE4, kdebase, dolphin, konqueror | Port: kdebase4 -----------------------------------------------+---------------------------- Comment(by habmalnefrage@…): Finally I got it working.[[BR]] Here is what I did:[[BR]] 1. I uninstalled everything like described in the MacPorts documentation, chapter 2.5.[[BR]] 2. reboot[[BR]] 3. Installed MacPorts from scratch, port selfupdate (see chapter 2.3 of MacPorts documentation)[[BR]] 4. sudo -s, enter password[[BR]] 5. port install kdebase4. The following steps, especially 10 to 14, are those which I was requested to do after kdebase4's installation. They might differ in further package versions.[[BR]] 6. launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus- system.plist[[BR]] 7. exit --> this will cancel super user session and continue working as normal user [[BR]] 8. launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus- session.plist[[BR]] 9. 'sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE' replacing $USER with my username. I think, it's important not to do this in a sudo-session, but with the sudo command, since ~ refers to the normal users home directory! [[BR]] 10. sudo port install python_select[[BR]] 11. sudo python_select python27[[BR]] 12. sudo port load mysql5-server[[BR]] 13. sudo -u _mysql mysql_install_db5[[BR]] 14. sudo port load openldap[[BR]] 15. I rebooted to start DBus for sure. [[BR]] Dolphin and Konqueror might work now. The following steps install German language packs for spelling and KDE4: [[BR]] 16. sudo port install aspell-dict-de[[BR]] 17. sudo port install hunspell-dict-de_DE[[BR]] 18. sudo port install kde-l10n-de[[BR]] After all of this, Dolphin and Konqueror start as well from terminal (starting dolphin in dolphin.app's subdirectory)as from dock (link to dolphin.app/konqueror.app)[[BR]] '''Note''': This documentation might be helpful for you, but is without any warranty! I just described how I got it working for me. [[BR]] @maintainers: if you find this posting useful and complete, you can close the ticket now. If I find some issues with these applications, shall I open a new ticket for every single issue or one that collects all issues? -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/28338#comment:8> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
