    Parent: KDE on OpenSolaris

    When installing one of the latest development builds of KDE4 on OpenSolaris, 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.

    See also the list of known bugs.

    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

    the below information is no not valid with current builds, but the kcheckpass binary has bad permissions so unlocking still fails. Just do

    pfexec chmod +s /opt/kde4/lib/kde4/libexec/kcheckpass

    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.

    To disable default shortcut:

    System Settings -> Global Keyboard Shortcuts -> Run Command Interface
    -> "Lock Session" (remove the shortcut)
    

    To enable Ctrl+Alt+L as Input Action to spawn xlock:

    System Settings -> Input Actions
    right-click the left pane -> New -> Global Shortcut -> Command/URL
    Trigger -> define shortcut
    Action -> Command/URL -> xlock 
    

    Colission with SUNWvboxguest

    When VirtualBox additions are installed, VirtualBox has to enable video acceleration or kwin crashes.
