Systemsettings categories have changed from KDE 4.5. Can work GRUB2 Bootloader Editor in older versions of KDE 4.5?

Editing /usr/share/kde4/services/kcm_grub2.desktop, I put the launcher in:
X-KDE-System-Settings-Parent-Category=advanced-user-settings

Anyway I get the next messange:

$ kcmshell4 kcm_grub2
false
kcmshell4: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/kcm_grub2.so: undefined symbol: _ZN9QListData11detach_growEPii

On Kubuntu 10.04, KDE 4.4.5
Thanks!

Your system is 32bit or 64bit? I suppose you installed from .deb package?

YAFU

I'm sorry. It's 64 bits and I install from .deb package.

artemisfowl2007

I am sorry for the inconvenience. What's your Qt version?

YAFU
9 years ago

Hello.
Qt version is 4.6.3.
Compiling sources works. Anyway I have to edit the file as I mentioned before, that the entry appears in Systemsettings in KDE 4.4.x.
Another thing: Have you already has a Spanish translation of this application, or know people working on it?

Thank you.

artemisfowl2007

No, I am sorry there isn't any Spanish translation.

bad dependeces

dependency problems prevent configuration of kcm_grub2:
kcm_grub2 depends on grub2; however:
Package grub2 is not installed.
dpkg: error processing kcm_grub2 (--install):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
kcm_grub2

i have not grub2 i have grub-pc

artemisfowl2007

Anyway, I uploaded a new package with grub-common as a dependency, you should try it out (it's 64bit though).

nowardev

well yea installing the grub2 dummy package it's ok but.. i mean creating the debian package via cpack you get an error on ubuntu system like ..

so .... if you could fix dependencies ..

artemisfowl2007
9 years ago

Ah so, use this CMakeLists.txt instead: http://paste.kde.org/7889/

artemisfowl2007
9 years ago

Hmm, can't you install grub2? It's a dummy package actually which depends on grub-pc.

Perhaps I should update the dependencies. grub-common is the required dependency.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4127065/debian%20package/natty/kcm_grub2/kcm_grub2-0.2.5.deb

kbuildsycoca4

to get it into systemsettings

nowardev

it's the same

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4127065/debian%20package/natty/kcm_grub2/kcm_grub2-0.2.0.deb

btw i have seen thsi

http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Grub2+Kcm?content=137886

isn't the same project ?

what's the difference?

artemisfowl2007
9 years ago

Thanks for the package.

It is another GRUB2 KCModule but it's written in Python and more simplified I would say.

I've been quite some time on this idea though (have read tons of GRUB2 documentation) and didn't want to waste all this effort, so I published this KCModule, along with the other one, owned by user kbios.

What's the bug?

nowardev

look at distributor

should be Ubuntu

artemisfowl2007
9 years ago

No, it's ok, not a bug. Debian-derived distributions use this command to determine the name (Ubuntu in your case), instead of hard-coding it. Try typing it in a shell and see what it returns ;)

` lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
Ubuntu: command not found

so i guess xD shoul be

`echo lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`
Ubuntu

artemisfowl2007

Well, for a script I guess it's the same. :)
