I just upgraded to KDE 3.5.1 and I must say it's fantastic. The only
issue I seem to be having is some sort of shared library problem with
hal, dbus, ivman and k3b. I can't seem to get k3b working now no
matter what I try with revdep-rebuild or any emerge combination. Any
ideas?
Well here's the first problem I get when running revdep-rebuild:
usr/lib64/libhal.so: undefined reference to
`dbus_message_iter_get_boolean' /usr/lib64/libhal.so: undefined
reference to `dbus_message_iter_get_string_array'
/usr/lib64/libhal.so: undefined reference to
`dbus_message_iter_append_nil' /usr/lib64/libhal.so: undefined reference
to `dbus_message_iter_get_double'
Neither dbus nor hal should be required for k3b. I have neither on my
system here, and K3B has always worked just fine, altho I've not run it
lately.
It appears hal is a USE flag for k3b. Unless there's some specific reason
you want/need hal for k3b, consider setting -hal for k3b in
/etc/portage/package.use . For a KDE user anyway, I've never figured out
what the big deal is for hal and dbus anyway, altho I believe they are
somewhat more critical in a GNOME based system.
FWIW, I long since gave up on GNOME -- for the same reason Linus has:
"This 'users are idiots, and are confused by functionality' mentality of
Gnome is a disease. If you think your users are idiots, only idiots will
use it. I don't use Gnome, because in striving to be simple, it has long
since reached the point where it simply doesn't do what I need it to do."
Some background and additional opinion on the issue, in an article by
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols, at [1]. Or simply use Google's linux-specific
search page at [2], type in linus gnome kde as your search terms, and take
your pick of other coverage.
BTW, [2] is WELL worth bookmarking. Here, I have it as one of KDE's
enhanced browsing features as well. Just as gg:whatever works for a
general Google search, ggl: whatever by default is the I'm feeling lucky
function, but I replaced that with the google-linux search so ggl:whatever
will search for whatever on the google-linux search page, here.

That did it. Thanks for the info, I never knew k3b didn't need hal or
dbus. Anyday you learn something is a day that you didn't waste.
Thanks for that and the links.
