[kde-solaris] KDE 3.1.1 Installation Instructions on Solaris 8

Hi!

Here's a little cheat sheet with installation instructions for KDE on 
Solaris 8.

		KDE 3.1.1 Installation Instructions on Solaris 8
		================================================


This is a simple write-up of the necessary steps required to get KDE 
3.1.1 running on Solaris 8.

I am assuming that the following packages have already been installed:
SUNWkdedtlogin
SUNWqt312
SUNWqtplugins
SUNWkchmod
SUNWkderuntime
SUNWkdearts
SUNWkdelibs
SUNWkdebase
SUNWmlib
J2SE1.3.1

After these packages have been installed, delete all the leftover 
files and directories from any previous KDE installation(s):

/tmp/mcop-${USER}
/tmp/kde-${USER}
/tmp/ksocket-${USER}
${HOME}/.DCOPserver*
${HOME}/.mcop
${HOME}/.kde/socket-<hostname>
${HOME}/.kde/tmp-<hostname>

0. Locale
=========

The system locale should be defined system-wide. This is usually done
by setting the NSLPATH and I18NPATH environment variables in the 
system shell initialization files. A typical locale setup on Solaris 
may look like this:

export NSLPATH="/usr/lib/locale:/usr/openwin/lib/locale"
export I18NPATH="/usr/lib/locale:/usr/openwin/lib/locale"
export LANG="en_US"
export LC_CTYPE="en_US"
export LC_NUMERIC="en_US"
export LC_TIME="en_US"
export LC_COLLATE="en_US"
export LC_MONETARY="en_US"
export LC_MESSAGES="en_US"
export POSIXLY_CORRECT=1
export LC_ALL="en_US"

1. Arts
=======
- Make sure artsd and artswrapper are installed setuid root (they 
should be).
- The file ${HOME}/.mcoprc should contain only the following line:

GlobalComm=Arts::TmpGlobalComm

- Make sure that the file ${HOME}/.kde/share/config/kcmartsrc looks 
similar to this:
[Arts]
AddOptions=
Arguments=\s-F 8 -S 2048 -a sun -d -n -b 16 -m artsmessage -l 3 -f
AudioIO=sun
AutoSuspend=false
Bits=16
DeviceName=
FullDuplex=true
Latency=1
LoggingLevel=3
MessageApplication=artsmessage
NetworkTransparent=true
SamplingRate=0
StartRealtime=true
StartServer=true
SuspendTime=60
X11GlobalComm=true

The most important parameters are 'Arguments' and 'AudioIO' (arts 
needs to be told to use the Sun audio device, otherwise, you will get 
scratches and static and it will sound like it does not work at all). 
You can fiddle around with the other parameters, and set them to your 
favorite values.

2. Services
===========

The DCOP interface in KDE calls getservbyname(3SOCKET). This requires 
adding an entry in /etc/services, to make the 'dcop' service known to 
the system -- and make getservbyname() work. As such, you need to add 
the following line in /etc/services:

dcop	9700/tcp		# KDE dcopserver service

Caution: the _third_ field of this entry is left intentionally blank 
(i.e., the comment entry '# KDE dcopserver service' is the _fourth_ 
field). I use port 9700 for my DCOP services, but this is not a 
requirement.

3. PAM
======

KDE uses PAM for authentication. As such, the file /etc/pam.conf needs 
to be updated to permission KDE to run. This is the relevant portion 
of my own /etc/pam.conf file, with the directives pertaining to KDE:
