Hi,
following some correction you should make to solve some bugs in this distribution:
- I determined a problem with konsole and yakuake where the windows size
was not detectable. If you called stty -a then no columns and lines could
be detected (especial at resize). This results in crazy display for vi or
windowless-emacs.
Solution (It's crazy, dont ask me how I detect this :; ):
- I have build the actual libz in the distribution and this lib is the
reason for the konsole and yakuake problems. I dont no why ! To solve
this: simple remove (with backup) /usr/local/sparcv9/lib/libz.so* or
link /usr/lib/64/libz.so.1 to /usr/local/sparcv9/lib/libz.so.1.2.3
- Restart kde-desktop.
- If you want https-support or running-ssl in the distribution then you should
set the OpenSSL-Lib-Path by:
"Control Center/Security & Privacy/Crypto" -> OpenSSL:
"Path to OpenSSL shared libraries" shall be /usr/sfw/lib/64
- If you want a running timezone setting then you should set the TZ environment
variable. I did this in front of /usr/local/sparcv9/kde-3.5.7/bin/startkde:
export TZ=${TZ:-'Europe/Berlin'}
[ "${TZ}" = 'MET' ] && export TZ='Europe/Berlin'
Solaris sets the timezone variable TZ from the /etc/default/init file but
KDE does not understand it thats why you need a transformation!
- Some 64bit applications don't know about LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64 which will be set
by this distribution. If you have trouble with that then you could make
following changes in front of /usr/local/sparcv9/kde-3.5.7/bin/startkde:
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset LD_LIBRARY_PATH_64
With this changes kde-3.5.7 looks verry good on solaris :) !
Have fun,
Michael
PS: It would be nice to know who is using this distributions and which problems
or whishes the user have. I also search a dt-login-screen guru which could
improve the kde startup screen!
