installing k3b problem

**satimis** · 10-19-2006

Hi folks,

Gentoo_64
gnome-light

On installing k3b encountered following problem;

Code:

.....

 * You are trying to compile app-cdr/k3b-0.12.14 with the "hal" USE flag enabled ,
 * but sys-apps/dbus is not built with Qt3 support.

!!! ERROR: app-cdr/k3b-0.12.14 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1562:   Called dyn_setup
  ebuild.sh, line 665:   Called pkg_setup
  k3b-0.12.14.ebuild, line 59:   Called die

!!! rebuild sys-apps/dbus with the qt3 useflag
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.

Please advise how to fix it. TIA

You need to add qt3 to the USE flag in make.conf.

Once you do this then re-emerge sys-apps/dbus,

Code:

emerge --newuse sys-apps/dbus

Safer still would be to rebuild your entire system (although this will take a LONG time),

Code:

emerge --update --deep --newuse world

You should be able to emerge k3b successfully after this.

Good luck!

Hi smolloy,

You need to add qt3 to the USE flag in make.conf.

Once you do this then re-emerge sys-apps/dbus,

Code:

emerge --newuse sys-apps/dbus

k3b started but working as root only. As user it reqested to run k3bsetup. I can't find the latter on this Gentoo_64 PC nor can I find this package on "emerge --search k3bsetup"

Googling Internet found several postings on this problem. Any clue. TIA

K3B has to be compiled with the "kde" use flag for k3bsetup to be compiled and available.

Basically, to get the full functionality of k3b, you need the basic libraries of kde installed.

When I use gnome, I prefer what used to be called bonfire. I forget what it is called now.

Yeah, I remember bonfire being mentioned a while back in another thread. I use Graveman myself, which is very nice, light and simple and based on GTK. Also, Nautilus has some burning capabilities as well.

Hi folks,

Gentoo_64
gnome-light

I have "Brasero 0.4.4" installed on this box. It did not work. After adding data/files, clicking "Burn" closed the application automatically. I tried numerous times before installing k3b.

I'm aware k3b need kde lib. I have been searching for its replacement in the past. Finally I have to coming back to the original step.

In that case, follow Gruven's instructions and emerge k3b with the kde use flag.

You probably won't want to set the 'kde' flag for you entire system, seeing as you use gnome-light, just use it for k3b.

**satimis** · 10-20-2006

Hi psic and gruven

In that case, follow Gruven's instructions and emerge k3b with the kde use flag.

I already have a working k3b running. It only works as root. I can start k3b on console as root.

You probably won't want to set the 'kde' flag for you entire system, seeing as you use gnome-light, just use it for k3b.

No I prefer not to install kde for the time being.

If you want k3b setup, then you "HAVE" to recompile it with the kde use flag. If you don't want to do that, then you can change the permissions on the devices and files yourself.

Also, brasero should work, but I would have to have the output of the errors on the command line before I could help you with that. You have to open a terminal (as a user), run brasero from the terminal, and tell us the output of it when it fails.

When things don't work, it is usually for a reason that can be fixed. If you don't know how to change the permissions for k3b, or don't want to recompile it using the kde use flag (which will bring in over half of kde), then you are stuck running it as root. All k3bsetup does is change permissions on whatever program k3b uses to burn.

Part of the problem may be that you are running the 64 bit version, and I have no experience with that yet. Hopefully soon, I will install Gentoo on my new laptop (Core 2 Duo) and use the 64 bit version. But until then, I can just help with the basics.

Hi gruven,

I'll leave it as I'm the only user of this PC

You have to open a terminal (as a user), run brasero from the terminal, and tell us the output of it when it fails.
