[gentoo-user] KDE4 localization

2011-05-27 Thread Alex Schuster
Hi there!

Since the upgrade to 4.6.3, most KDE applications show up in English. Even 
stuff that has not been upgraded, like kmymoney. The only KDE4 application I 
know that still is German is systemsettings. Does anyone else experience 
this?

What missing features?  There are some bugs in KMM 5.0, but I don't  
know of anything totally missing (that was present in 4.x)  If you  
found a bug or regression not already reported, please do report it.

This conversation reminds me that I used to like Quicken on That Other

Fair comment, if it was just that the ebuild was in testing, I'd give it
a go but if the project devs say it's not stable, well..

I no longer use Gnucash, having switched to KMyMoney a few years ago. Now
that's just jumped a major version and I had to mask it because of

The exact words in the bug (621532 comment 60) are

Just to reiterate. There are no plans to fix this webkit-gtk ancient
SLOT, because it will be last rited any day now; just waiting on
gnucash-2.7 stabilization to proceed after some (probably harmless)
test failures are fixed or deemed nonblocking.

Understood.  I am a little fearful of the new gnucash.  But fortunately
I am not a power user.  (Hopefully canek uses gnucash).

It's annoying things like not remember the directory for loading account
files but always taking me back to ~/Documents. The really annoying one
is that it no longer offers previous transaction with the payee to
select from, so I have to enter all the details every time.

The 17.1 profiles are soon to be marked stable, so I went ahead and
migrated a little over a week ago, following the draft news item Michał
Górny recently posted to -dev.  FWIW, the migration seemed to go
smoothly and I haven't noticed anything breaking except
app-office/kmymoney won't build, apparently because the ebuild expects
something to be in /lib which isn't there any more.  But one dev said
it builds fine on his 17.1 test system, so I dunno.  I filed a bug,

 Well, in my book, a kde app is an application that links against the
 kde foundations (kdelibs), a qt-only app is an application that links
 against any or many of the qt parts, but not against kdelibs. smplayer
 seems to fall into the later category.

 It could help if you were able to reproduce this with a minimal single
 config file and try some more qt and kde programs.
I've tried it with SMplayer, Kdevelop,  Kate, KMyMoney, and KolourPaint
and they all exhibit the same behaviour.  Gnome and other X apps don't
exhibit the same behaviour, it seems limited to KDE apps.

I'll try to strip down a config and see if I can't find what option does
it.  I think I might also move my .kde4 folder temporarily and see if it
still happens.

It's perfectly OK for there to still be stuff under /lib /usr/lib 
/usr/local/lib.  These are supposed to be things which are arch

I'd be tempted to revert the unsymlink.  Did you check the output of

   What's your objection to dbus? It gives you a standard message

  Except for me. dbus-daemon often uses 10-20% of my CPU according to
  top.
 Mine idles most of the time, no CPU is used. My computer is running for
 ~6h now, dbus-daemon used less than 1.5s CPU time.

After a relogin, this is also true here at this moment, dbus-daemon uses 
about 4% of one of my two cores. After 26 days of uptime, its total CPU time 
is 1380 minutes, Followed by udisks-daemon with 990 minutes, and then mysqld 
with 25 minutes.

  And
  this morning, it was using about 750M of memory. Which is less than
  kwin's and Kontact's usage, but still.
 
 Strange. Mine uses only ~20MB.

Right now I have three dbus-daemon processes (one owned by messagebus, two 
owned by my user), with a total of 4.5M only. The excessive usage of 750M (I 
noticed this for the first time) probably was a memory leak. Like with KWin, 
where it always happens after some days of being logged in.

  But I think the problem is on my side, I run KDE4 with only 8G of
  memory, no wonder I need 1.7G of swap right now.
  /rant
 
 I have only 4GB of memory, run kde4, swap is not used at all most of the
 time. There are still ~512MB free with ~1,3GB cached currently.
 I do have programs running :) firefox with some tabs, kdevelop with a
 project (~100.000 LOC), kmail, LibreOffice and 3 konsoles, each with some
 tabs open. I know, I am of no help at all, but I really wonder, why your
 numbers differ so significantly from mine.

I run some more applications. 9 Konsole tabs, two Dolphins, a Konqueror as 
file manager, Amarok, TV-Browser, Kontact, Chromium with 15 tabs, KMyMoney. 
That's what comes up after login, after a while of being logged in more 
stuff is running. Yesterday I had a Windows running in vmplayer, that may 
use 512M.
Right now, 4.7G of memory is needed (free -m, -/+ buffers/cache entry).

[Later]

Whoops, forgot to actually send this mail. Ten hours later I have another 
dbus-daemon process, owned by root, but memory their usage is the same. 
5250M of RAM are needed now altogether.

Me neither, although I do wonder if it maybe caches something somewhere.
I did just now have a preserved-rebuild after a depclean action.
(This was after a clean update and no preserved-rebuild necessary prior to the 
depclean)

Did you include all the permissions in the tar during compression and 
extraction?

No, did try today, but as it has a conflict with dependencies for kmymoney 
(which isn't yet for slot 5), I am unwilling to proceed on this laptop.

I will test my desktop later today/this week.

   What's your objection to dbus? It gives you a standard message
   bus, is small, light, consumes minimal resources and provides a
   nice standard way to do IPC. Probably easier than reinventing the
   wheel with named pipes and other bits over and over.
 
  Except for me. dbus-daemon often uses 10-20% of my CPU according to
  top.
 Mine idles most of the time, no CPU is used. My computer is running for
 ~6h now, dbus-daemon used less than 1.5s CPU time.

 After a relogin, this is also true here at this moment, dbus-daemon uses
 about 4% of one of my two cores. After 26 days of uptime, its total CPU time
 is 1380 minutes, Followed by udisks-daemon with 990 minutes, and then mysqld
 with 25 minutes.

  And
  this morning, it was using about 750M of memory. Which is less than
  kwin's and Kontact's usage, but still.

 Strange. Mine uses only ~20MB.

 Right now I have three dbus-daemon processes (one owned by messagebus, two
 owned by my user), with a total of 4.5M only. The excessive usage of 750M (I
 noticed this for the first time) probably was a memory leak. Like with KWin,
 where it always happens after some days of being logged in.

  But I think the problem is on my side, I run KDE4 with only 8G of
  memory, no wonder I need 1.7G of swap right now.
  /rant

 I have only 4GB of memory, run kde4, swap is not used at all most of the
 time. There are still ~512MB free with ~1,3GB cached currently.
 I do have programs running :) firefox with some tabs, kdevelop with a
 project (~100.000 LOC), kmail, LibreOffice and 3 konsoles, each with some
 tabs open. I know, I am of no help at all, but I really wonder, why your
 numbers differ so significantly from mine.

 I run some more applications. 9 Konsole tabs, two Dolphins, a Konqueror as
 file manager, Amarok, TV-Browser, Kontact, Chromium with 15 tabs, KMyMoney.
 That's what comes up after login, after a while of being logged in more
 stuff is running. Yesterday I had a Windows running in vmplayer, that may
 use 512M.
 Right now, 4.7G of memory is needed (free -m, -/+ buffers/cache entry).

 [Later]

 Whoops, forgot to actually send this mail. Ten hours later I have another
 dbus-daemon process, owned by root, but memory their usage is the same.
 5250M of RAM are needed now altogether.

Very, very weird. You all seem to have some weird issues with
dbus-daemon that I don't have.

(times retrieved with ps axS, memory consumption retrieved with htop)

On my 77-day uptime server runing Debian 5, dbus's total time is 0:00.
(That's with ps axS) virtual memory of 21M, resident of 900K.

On my gentoo desktop, 8 days' uptime, I show two dbus-daemon
processes, both with 0:00. Both with virtual of 19M. One with resident
of 984K, one with resident of 808K.

On my router, Debian 6, with 4 days' uptime, ps axS shows 0:00 for
consumed time. 23M virtual, 968K resident.

I also spent several hours today rebuilding the entire system from
scratch[1], and then creating a new user. I didn't even copy my .mozilla
directory. Still no improvement.

Yes, the full works, with just the tweaks that the control panel allows.

1.  This is my standard procedure for rebuilding the entire system:

$ cat /usr/local/bin/ejsys
#!/bin/bash
emerge --jobs -1 gcc && emerge --jobs -1 binutils && emerge --jobs -1 glibc
emerge --jobs --load-average=36 --keep-going --nospinner \
--exclude="gcc binutils glibc" @system linux-firmware intel-microcode

Then make mrproper; cp /boot/ .config; kmake

$ cat /usr/local bin/kmake:
#!/bin/bash
mount /boot
cd /usr/src/linux
make -j12 && make modules_install && make install &&\
cp -v ./arch/x86/boot/bzImage /boot/EFI/Boot/bootX64.efi &&\
echo && echo "Rebuilding modules" && echo &&\
emerge --jobs --load-average=48 @module-rebuild @x11-module-rebuild && echo &&\
echo "Remaking microcode images" &&\
/usr/sbin/iucode_tool -S --write-earlyfw=/boot/early_ucode.cpio 
/lib/firmware/intel-ucode/* && echo &&\
echo "Remounting /sys/firmware/efi/efivars read-write" &&\
mount -oremount,rw /sys/firmware/efi/efivars && echo &&\
echo "Don't forget to bootctl-install the new kernel!" && echo

$ cat /usr/local/bin/ejeworld
#!/bin/bash
emerge --jobs --load-average=48 --keep-going --nospinner \
--exclude="$(cat system.pkgs) linux-firmware intel-microcode" -e @world

system.pkgs contains the names of the 43 packages that are emerged by @system.

I don't know what else I can try. Help, anyone?

I still wonder why my KDE4 system starts swapping so early. Until a week 
ago, I had 6G of RAM, but after a day of being logged in, I usually had some 
swap usage. Sometimes this goes up to 1.5G, this is when the system becomes 
way too slow and I log out.

Normally I don't mind having swap, I always had. But to me it looks like
this is worse than it should be. From the point when swapping starts, it's 
nearly permanent, like, when switching applications and desktops. As if
important stuff were swapped out that will be needed again soon. While 
unimportant stuff stays in memory.

This was even worse when using the ati-drivers/fglrx, but at the moment
I'm using xf86-video-ati with xorg-server-1.10.1.901 and KMS.
echo 1  /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches helps a little, but not much. And not
for long.

Sometimes I quit memory-hungry applications like Kontact, Amarok and TV
Browser and restart them immediately afterwards. Memory usage has
dropped, and desktop switching is fast again, once I went to every desktop 
so that stuff will be swapped in. BTW, vm.swappiness is set to 20.

Or I do a 'swapoff -a  swapon -a', this empties the swap and also
frees memory. But this takes _quite_ _a_ _while_. Once I measured 37 minutes 
to clear 1G of swap.
But I do not remember how much memory was being used then, so I tried 
again, after closing memory-intensive applications:

weird ~ # free -m
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:  5721   4184   1536  0 34111
-/+ buffers/cache:   4039   1682
Swap: 4093885   3208

weird ~ # time swapoff -a

real27m8.757s
user2m12.284s
sys 21m37.089s

weird ~ # free -m
 total   used   free sharedbuffers cached
Mem:  5721   4785936  0 53409
-/+ buffers/cache:   4322   1398
Swap:0  0  0

So, 27 minutes to put 885MB of swap back into RAM, with the double amount of 
that being free RAM.  I monitored with iotop, and the transfer rate started 
around 60-100 K/s, later it went higher. But the average transfer rate is 
550K/s. Shouldn't swap be, like, a little faster?

My swap is on an LUKS-encrypted LVM volume, but I tried with a fresh new
LVM volume, and it was a little better only. The SATA drive gives 80-100 
MB/s according to hdparm -t. dd'ing /dev/zero directly to the swap volume 
gives around 100 MB/s.

I'm running ck-sources 2.6.38, but I experience this for a long time
now, and changed from tuxonice-sources (another thing that just doesn't
work well for me) to ck-sources, to try if this would improve things. I
even cloned a .config from some live cd, in case I had some stupid option
activated that slowed things down.

Lowering swappiness helped, as did more memory. With 3.7G of RAM, KDE4
was barely usable. But two years ago, when this PC was new, I ran KDE 4.2 on
x86, compiled all except OpenOffice in tmpfs, often had a virtual
machine running in VMplayer, and it was fine.

I sure run lots of applications (Kontact, Amarok, TV Browser which uses an 
incredible amount of RAM), some Dolphins, some Konsoles, a few Konquerors, 
about 15-26 Chromium tabs, KMyMoney, some editors, sometimes Qt Creator, and 
some Okulars. When I file some photos from my camera with Digikam, I 
normally do not close it afterwards, hoping that it gets swapped out if 
needed, and unless I start using it again this should not cost too much of 
my RAM. This has always been my style of working, I don't like to close an 
applications just after working with it. And it was fine in the past, with 
much less memory, and with a virtual machine running all of the time.

Now I got another 2G of RAM, and things are better. But still, I have 800M 
of swap right now, without using special applications or VMs. At this 
moment, it's not problem, there is no paging going on. A little while ago, 
it was quite noticeable. I was running rdiff-backup stuff at that moment, 
but so I am doing now. Weird.
Oh, even weirder: The phone just rang, and five minutes later, swap has gone 
to 860M. I was running rdiff-backup --list-increment-sizes, maybe this uses 
much memory, and caches the stuff. Now the command has finished, and paging 
has stopped. The rdiff-backup process itself does not use much memory.

BTW, does anyone else's kwin use 750M? That's pretty high, I think it used 
to be more like 300M.

  I run KDE here and it uses less than 1Gbs all the time.  Most of the

  8Gbs, you got a lot running or something.  o_O
  
  I'm using 4.5G right now according to free -m (using the -/+
  buffers/cache entry). 550M for a Windows VM, 355M for Kontact, 350M
  for my TV-Browser application, 200M for Firefox, incredible 165M for
  a Chromium instance, 155M plasma-desktop. Oh, there's an emerge -a
  command waiting for me to confirm it should run, 155M. virtuoso-t
  neds 150M, the same goes for Amarok, and kwin is at 140 now. The rest
  is mainly more Chromium and Konqueror processes, X, akonadi_nepomuk,
  apache2, kmymoney, the rest is less then 65M each.
  
  The system even starts swapping from time to time. 6G was not enough,
  things are much better now that I have 8G. With 4, it became unusable
  after 1-2 days of being logged into KDE.

 Jeez, I thought I used the kitchen sink here at times.  The better
 question may be, what don't you have running?  LOL

I made some screenshots [*] after I started with an empty .kde4 directory 
one week ago. They show what is started automatically when I log into KDE, 
well, except for the last desktop where I fired up a browser for online 
banking.

Desktop 1: Administration stuff. A Konsole with a root shell and a normal 
shell, and another spare one. Some system info and logging plasmoids.

Desktop 2: Multimedia. Amarok, a folder plasmoid with my images. A Dolphin 
with two tabs showing my music and video files, both tabs have two views. A 
Konsole window is grouped to the Dolphin window, I use it mainly for 
downloading videos with my download script, which is a wrapper for youtube-
dl but does a little more. BTW, I added it to the 'Open with...' menu in 
Konqueror, but nowadays I write 'mydl' in this shell and drag the URLs I 
want to download from the browser right into the shell.

Desktop 3: Mail/News/WWW. Kontact, I use the KMail, Akregator and KNode 
components mainly. And two grouped Chromium windows with some tabs.

Desktop 4: Remote. I go here when I administrate remote systems, via ssh in 
a Konsole, RDesktop, or NX. The folder views have shortcuts to start 
NX/Rdesktop/VPN sessions, or Dophins opening FTP locations and such.

Desktop 5: Programming. A big Dolphin grouped to a Konsole with a growing 
number of tabs. Some folder views for stuff I regularly need. Another 
Chromium, showing my Wiki, and more tabs when I need them. When I actually 
do something here, I also have some editor windows open.

Desktop 6: Other. Financial stuff, LibreOffice, and other things that don't 
fit into the other desktops.

All in all, I don't think this is really so much. With KDE uptime, more 
things are running, and I often see no need to close them, because  might 
need them later again. The weird thing is that this has been my attitude for 
long, and before KDE4, I had no problems with this, even with less then 4G 
of RAM. I was using swap then, but it did not matter much, a little delay 
while an application I did not use for a while gets swapped in was okay. But 
now, when swapping starts, it seems to happen constantly. As if important 
stuff were swapped out, that would be needed again immediately.
With the ati-drivers, this was even worse. When I moved to radeon, it was 
much better already.

Re: [gentoo-user] KDE ridiculous memory usage

 I have a bit of a problem. I'm on KDE-4.4.5 and it eats memory for
 breakfast. Directly after booting, everything is okay but the usage
 grows significantly. I wonder whether this is expected behavior.

I was just about to write something about this. I suffered from bad
performance for quite a while now (like mplayer stuttering during
emerges), started a thread in in the gentoo-performance list and got some
advice that made things a little better, but I suspect the effect came
from reduced memory usage only. Since yesterday the problems all seem to
be gone, but again it's not a real solution, as I plugged in another 2GB
of memory, so now I have 6G.

I used to restart kdm once per day in order to free memory. If I did not
do this, KDE4 became nearly unsusabe.

 The following statistics have been taken after 8 days of uptime during
 which the system was on standby most of the time during work days and

 A desktop machine that has 4GB RAM and still needs to swap?!

After 1 day of uptime, my system needs even more, but I'm also running

 Okay, I'm used to Firefox taking much memory. I'm okay with that since
 it's the most heavily used application currently running. But why does
 Akregator need that much memory? It doesn't even have any tabs open at
 the moment and is just running minimized in the background.

Beats me.

 Virtuoso looks like an optional Soprano dependency which in turn is
 needed for Nepomuk. Are the default use flags for dev-libs/soprano
 suboptimal? What happens if I choose other flags for Soprano?

Don't know. But you can just turn off virtuoso in systemsettings- desktop 
search.
I just turned it on again, and - now I need 271M of swap, and again my 
system becomes unresponsive due to the constant swapping that is going on. 
With 6G!

Which is another problem I think. One question is how KDE4 can need such a 
lot of memory, the other is how the system can become so unresponsive once 
its starts swapping. I used to have larger swap with less RAM, and did not 
have those performance problems. One

[gentoo-user] boost-1.62.0-r1 blocked by nothing ??

2017-02-01 Thread Jörg Schaible
Hi,

now I have an emerge mystery myself: It claims boost is blocked by  ... 
nothing. See yourself:
- emerge tells me that boost is for whatever reason blocked
- I cannot find any entry for this in /etc/portage/**
- eix does not show any kind of mask for 1.62.0-r1
- none of the installed packages show a condition preventing an update

Any idea?

Cheers,
Jörg

Re: [gentoo-user] At last! A Qt5 version of KMail-2 - but here be dragons!

2016-12-29 Thread J. Roeleveld
e.
- Synchronisation of groupdav is smoother
- There finally is a decent option to connect to office365 (including calendar)
(with the above, I have only tested loading data, not tested modifying 
anything yet)

Things I miss:
- A configuration option inside "systemsettings", can not find the kcm for 
akonadi:5.
- I can't find the little "-" icons which were present in the screenshots from 
Peter Humphrey. I was actually hoping to test those, but they don't appear.

Things I don't like so far:
- The default colour scheme (unread emails are by default a very light-colour 
blue, I prefer the old colourscheme.
- Having to get rid of kmymoney due to incompatible libraries. (Why does a 
financial app have a hard-dependency on kdepimlibs)

More updates are likely to follow, if people are actually interested.

The update to the current in-portage-tree version went quite smoothly once the 
blocking packages were identified and removed. (All of kdepim:4 needs to be 
removed first for portage to be able to identify all required keyword-changes)
This was mostly due to running a mixed stable and unstable setup.

If anyone is interested, I can provide the full keyword file I used.

Encouraged by this, I tried the migration this morning. I followed the enews 
item that Mick quoted - I even printed it to keep myself straight.

Before the start:
$ eselect profile show
Current /etc/portage/make.profile symlink:
  default/linux/amd64/17.0/desktop/plasma

I went through the migration, step by step, but after step 7, "unsymlink-lib 
--finish", I found 110 files still in /lib and /usr/lib (list attached), of 
the >3000 before the migration attempt, and /usr/local/lib still a symlink. 
This can't be right, can it?
