<br />
First, if you have added the repositories for any previous version, remove them with the following command:<br />
<br />
<code>urpmi.removemedia kde-4.5.3</code><br />
<br />
or whatever name you gave to the repository. Second, add the KDE 4.5.4 repository. For 32 bit systems use the following urpmi command (as root):<br />
<br />
<code> urpmi.addmedia --update MIB-KDE454_release http://mib.pianetalinux.org/MIB/2010.1/others/kde/4.5.4/32/release<br />

<br />
Then update the repositories and download all the packages before actually installing them to make sure that the installation is possible (as root):<br />
<br />
<code>urpmi --auto-update --auto-select --test</code><br />
<br />
When all packages finish downloading and you see a message at the end saying that the <i>installation is possible</i>, you can now run the same command without the <i>--test</i> parameter to now perform the installation (as root):<br />
<br />
<code>urpmi --auto-update --auto-select</code><br />
<br />
After the packages installation finishes, logout and log back in, That's it. If you have any problem with the upgrade, the first thing to do to try to solve it is to log out, move away your .kde4 directory and log back in.<br />

<br />
First, if you have added the repositories for RC 2 or any previous version, remove them with the following command:<br />

The event went really well and I had lots of fun the whole week. The talk about KDE, althought I had a LOT of problems to getting it going, it ended very well and attendants liked it a lot. The available chairs were all taken (around 30 - 35) and there were at least four or five more persons standing up watching the presentation. The name of the talk was "KDE SC 4: Breaking Paradigms". I made a little short intro video to start the talk, with the objective of showing attendants what they could spect to see during my presentation.<br />
<br />
Here is the video:<br />
<object height="278" width="450"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cWN-izDR9e0&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cWN-izDR9e0&hl=en_US&fs=1?rel=0&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="450" height="278"></embed></object><br />
<br />
During the talk, I did a broad definition of what the KDE Software compilation is and which are their components and applications. Then I started to show each of the Plasma Workspaces, some of kwin's 3D effects, the desktop activities, doing demos of all of that. I also showed some videos of stuff that I didn't had how to demo there, like Plasma mobile running on a Nokia N900 cellphone, Qt multi-touch support and prototype stuff like <a href="http://alediaferia.wordpress.com/2009/08/08/mediacenter-again/" target="_blank">Plasma Media Center</a>. <br />
<br />
After that I did a quick recap of the KDE platform, talking about the main components of it: Solid, Phonon, Akonadi and Nepomuk, explaining their function and how they make a developer's life easier. Here I did some other demos of Nepomuk, like tagging files and then searching for them on dolphin or krunner, saving searches as folders or looking for a recent accessed file on dolphin's time-line. <br />
<br />
Next I demo'ed some applications, like Amarok, rekonq, kopete, gwenview, aKular, ksnapshot and yakuake, although I mentioned some others that I coiuldn't show because of time constraints. I also talked about KDE on Windows, for which I had a demo prepared, but as I said before, I had some problems at the beginning of the talk and I had to switch computers at the last moment, leaving my Windows VM on other machine.<br />
<br />
And leaving the best for last, I talked about the KDE community: who we are what we have achieved and how someone can contribute in different aspects different from coding (translating, bug reporting testing and promoting), which many times is seen as the only way of contributing to an open source project.<br />
<br />
On <a href="http://mandriva-co.com/users/jbaptiste/presentaciones/CampusParty/2010/KDE/img0.html" target="_blank">this link</a> you can find the talk (in spanish).<br />
<br />
I want to thank to some users at the <a href="http://forum.kde.org/" target="_blank" title="KDE Forum">KDE forums</a> and <a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-promo" target="_blank" title="kde-promo list">kde-promo list</a>, whom gave me some really <a href="http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=88518" target="_blank">neat ideas</a> of what to show or how to organize the talk, it was a really useful help :)<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://forgerock.com/openam.html" target="_blank" title="OpenAM">OpenAM</a> workshop went really well too, it was also full and was marked as one of the most attractive talks on Campus Party and because of that, it was broadcasted live over the Internet :) here are the recordings Campus Party uploaded to youtube if anyone wants to watch them (in spanish):<br />
<br />

<br />
I gave some introduction to what Single Sign On (SSO) is, the problematic it solves in an enterprise, which are the advantages of using a SSO solution, related security concepts like authentication, authorization, auditing and identity federation. Then I presented OpenAM and talked about how it can address all of the problematic that was exposed before, it's installation requirements and demo'ed some of it's features. At the end, the attendants did a workshop that walked them through all the process of installing OpenAM and configuring it to protect a Java web application and doing SSO with another one.<br />
<br />
Also on <a href="http://www.mandriva-co.com/users/jbaptiste/presentaciones/CampusParty/2010/OpenAM/presentacion_openam.swf" target="_blank">this link</a> you can find the talk (in spanish too).<br />
<br />
There were also some really nice talks that I enjoyed watching, like the one from Steve Wozniak (one of Apple's founders) and another about client-side pentesting. You can find all of the talks on <a href="http://tv.campus-party.org/" target="_blank">Campus TV website</a>.<br />
<br />

Here are the instructions again:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 19px; "><br /></span></div>First, Add the KDE 4.4.1 repository, for 32 bit systems use the following urpmi command (as root):<div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; font-size: small; "><i>urpmi.addmedia kde-4.4.1 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4.1/Mandriva/i586</i></span></div><div><br /></div><div>You can <a href="http://www.kde.org/mirrors/">use another mirror</a> if you want. 64 bits packages aren't yet available, but probably they will be this week and you should be able to use the following repository:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><i>urpmi.addmedia kde-4.4.1 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4.1/Mandriva/x86_64</i></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; "><br /></span></div><div>Then update the repositories and download all the packages before actually installing them to make sure that the installation is possible:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><i>urpmi --auto-update --auto-select --test</i></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>When all packages finish downloading and you see a message at the end saying that the installation is possible, you can now run the same command without the --test parameter to perform the installation:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new'; "><i>urpmi --auto-update --auto-select</i></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>After the packages installation finishes, logout and log back in, That's it.</div><div><br /></div></span>Juan Luis Baptistehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12049817145587673657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593142845232437975.post-38270552094153575672010-02-12T21:38:00.009-05:002010-02-12T22:38:03.120-05:00Facebook and kopeteAfter my <a href="http://not403.blogspot.com/2010/02/kde-44-available-for-mandriva-2010.html">upgrade to KDE 4.4</a>, I noticed that kopete's facebook plugin was making kopete crash just when it connected to facebook. While looking for an updated version of the plugin I ran across this blog post from duncan mcvicar's (one of the lead developers of kopete) explaining that <a href="http://duncan.mac-vicar.com/blog/archives/644">there wasn't a need for that plugin anymore</a> since <a href="http://blog.facebook.com/blog.php?post=297991732130">Facebook added XMPP support</a> for their chat service this week. Now, you can use any jabber client to connect to Facebook's chat. Duncan's blog post is missing details about how to accomplish this so I'm going to explain how to setup your chat account here.<div><br /></div><div>First, you need to assign a chat user name to your facebook account, you will not be using your email address for this. Go to your account settings and <a href="https://register.facebook.com/editaccount.php?settings&alias=1">set it up</a>. After you have done that you can create a jabber account on kopete. Use your new facebook username like this: username@chat.facebook.com :</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinuQALlJskq3yasokFO5XwUl2OUhYwDH1o_XGcMZtMubSHLGIw-0H-_HObkDc9bP8TmjprgdOs1d6yukaq9cBuGm42kZ7AQuHNroo35rs63nhYeNulfJWyg-UJoCXE95k6PJ5jaN0pmaI/s1600-h/kopete_fb.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinuQALlJskq3yasokFO5XwUl2OUhYwDH1o_XGcMZtMubSHLGIw-0H-_HObkDc9bP8TmjprgdOs1d6yukaq9cBuGm42kZ7AQuHNroo35rs63nhYeNulfJWyg-UJoCXE95k6PJ5jaN0pmaI/s320/kopete_fb.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437565045842410610" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 320px; " /></a><br /><div>Then configure the connection setting to not use TLS and allow plain text authentication:<br /><br /><div><br /></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPfr0lZP3j19ZbITxRRXlRSAYiZ1z3XuPE9kAqitmBvY3898q2y1hNCPsvjxP7KEnCbdo-ZD4qrK5xRxo14U7siknK5Qm2GxdbV1gs6sEO_KyYZKY-5_-bkuPgOn3EgtTi7tV0qbOgWx0/s1600-h/kopete_fb1.png"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPfr0lZP3j19ZbITxRRXlRSAYiZ1z3XuPE9kAqitmBvY3898q2y1hNCPsvjxP7KEnCbdo-ZD4qrK5xRxo14U7siknK5Qm2GxdbV1gs6sEO_KyYZKY-5_-bkuPgOn3EgtTi7tV0qbOgWx0/s320/kopete_fb1.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437565630039993154" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 249px; height: 320px; " /></a><br /><div><div>And last, do not forget to disable jingle support as it only works with gmail/gtalk accounts:</div><div><br /></div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigkcCvS87YE5mqK3cYOkk6fzDxy1akGe_f0Sn0hHT_r4DvbzOD0aAOfzUpU_OnQFXbVI31hJo5NKLX5hJ4zBbZRQDMskdAMHZKJ4tdoU-X1PEAjtIFQcliNTAoAizk5AjYYeoomYJ9lv8/s1600-h/kopete_fb2.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 249px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigkcCvS87YE5mqK3cYOkk6fzDxy1akGe_f0Sn0hHT_r4DvbzOD0aAOfzUpU_OnQFXbVI31hJo5NKLX5hJ4zBbZRQDMskdAMHZKJ4tdoU-X1PEAjtIFQcliNTAoAizk5AjYYeoomYJ9lv8/s320/kopete_fb2.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5437565895664686754" /></a><div><div><br /></div><div>That's it, you now will be able to connect to facebook chat service from kopete and avoid opening a browser just for that.</div></div>Juan Luis Baptistehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12049817145587673657noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6593142845232437975.post-18587741340481717972010-02-12T20:41:00.006-05:002010-03-16T11:17:17.881-05:00KDE 4.4 available for Mandriva 2010 !!<div><b>Updated (02/16/2010):</b> repository URL's changed and 64 bits packages are now available :)</div><div><br /></div>This last Tuesday KDE SC 4.4 was released and on a lightning-fast time, neoclust managed to have packages available for Mandriva 2010 on KDE <a href="ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4.0/Mandriva/">official FTP mirrors</a> (thanks neoclust !!). If you want to upgrade to it, it's really easy. First, Add the KDE 4.4 repository, for 32 bit systems use the following urpmi command (as root):<div><br /></div><div>32 bits:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">urpmi.addmedia kde-4.4.0 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4.0/Mandriva/2010.0/i586</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>64 bits:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'courier new';">urpmi.addmedia kde-4.4.0 ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/4.4.0/Mandriva/2010.0/x86_64</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-family:'courier new';"><br /></span></div><div>After adding the KDE 4.4. repository you will need to update, download and install all of KDE 4.4 packages. You can do all of this in one command, but I, for safety, prefer to do it in two steps. First, update the repositories and download all the packages before actually installing them to make sure that the installation is possible:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">urpmi --auto-update --auto-select --test</span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>When all packages finish downloading and you see a message at the end saying that the installation is possible, you can now run the same command without the --test parameter to perform the installation:</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">urpmi --auto-update --auto-select </span></span></div><div><br /></div><div>After the package installation finishes, logout and log back in, that's it !! you will have a brand new, shiny, awesome and rocking KDE 4.4 desktop :D</div><div><br /></div><div>Enjoy !!<br /><br /></div>Juan Luis Baptistehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12049817145587673657noreply@blogger.com10
