    Parent: KDE on OpenSolaris

    When installing one of the latest development builds of KDE4 on OpenSolaris (2009.06), there's a number of changes to do to make the use of the desktop more convenient. Some of the suggested changes are below.

    This page also lists some yet unresolved and highly visible problems with no workaround.


    Font anti-aliasing

    Is disabled in a fresh installation. Execute gnome-appearance-properties and select some better option in Fonts.

    Akonadi seems misconfigured

    After login an akonadi error window is shown. You can get rid of the errors by calling

    kwriteconfig --file kres-migratorrc --group Migration --key Enabled --type bool false 
    

    although a patch would be better.

    Missing Reboot and Shutdown

    Tracked as 186198. A simple workaround is available. This is also tracked in OpenSolaris as 1166.


    Broken screen lock

    Tracked as 184465. xlock can be used as a workaround. It could also be convenient to undefine the Ctrl+Alt+L shortcut and use System Settings -> Input Actions to redefine this shortcut to xlock.


    Colission with SUNWvboxguest

    When built and/or executed in a VirtualBox instance, there's a collision with the SUNWvboxguest package (VirtualBox guest additions). While building, this results in following sort of build error in FOSSqt: Undefined first referenced symbol in file XDamageDestroy /usr/lib/libGL.so XDamageCreate /usr/lib/libGL.so XDamageQueryExtension /usr/lib/libGL.so XDamageQueryVersion /usr/lib/libGL.so When using succesfully built packages in VirtualBox the KDE session startup fails.

    This needs to be resolved in the build system.


    System Activity dialog is empty

    Tracked as 200646. Pressing the default shortcut Ctrl-Esc or running ksysguard should display a list of running processes. This dialog is empty.

    Dolphin crashes
