[arch-general] Lancelot in KDE 4.2
Hi all, It appears that Lancelot (http://lancelot.fomentgroup.org/main) is broken in Arch. Running "lancelot" opens no menu. According to [1], this is caused by a lack of /usrshare/dbus-1/services/org.kde.lancelot.service However, I have that file in the directory. Moreover, I discovered that lancelot seems to be provided by two different packages. One of them is "kdeplasma-addons". The other is "lancelot". Both, I think, are maintained by Pierre. Reinstalling kdeplasma-addons doesn't seem to fix the problem, and installing lancelot without --force is impossible, since it tries to create files that are already there (this is despite the fact that lancelot and kdeplasma-addons are not marked as conflicting with each other). If you do include --force, it gives you missing library errors, but this seems like a bad approach anyway. Does anyone know what can be done about this? -- Leonid Grinberg [1] http://lancelot.fomentgroup.org/faq#menu-doesnt-open

Here lancelot was replaced by kdeplasma-addons. While updating to KDE 4.2 package lancelot was deinstalled. Now I use lancelot from kdeplasma-addons and everything works fine. Perhaps deinstall lancelot manually.
I didn't originally have the lancelot package installed when I noticed it wasn't working. I deinstalled it just now and reinstalled kdeplasma-addons for good measure, but it still doesn't work :-(. It just silently quits. The dbus file is still there.

I guess the old lancelotrc in .kde4/share/config confuses the current lancelot version. Just remove it via rm ~/.kde4/share/config/lancelotrc and try it again. HTH -- Maik

No, that is not it. I have removed it and it still doesn't work.
