Hi I am interested in trying out Kickoff - the new KDE KMenu joint project between SuSe Linux and the KDE development team.
I have already used this In Suse Linux 10.2 alpha and also in Sabayon (Gentoo) Linux - and it seems very robust and extremely usable.
For a demonstration of this you can look here:
http://home.kde.org/~binner/kickoff/sneak_preview.html
I understand that this is not supported in Kanotix (yet - although it may be if it becomes the official KDE 4 KMenu) however I am fully happy to try it out at my own risk.
KDe currently offer a SVN repository for this, which is located here:
Code:
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/suse_kickoff
However my question is how do I access this SVN repository and download the source code?
I know it sounds like a bit of a **censored** question - but I don't have any experience with SVN - I have used CVS before to download various things - but again only in a very limited capacity.
Any input anyone can offer in this regard would therefore be gratefully received. |

Looks great:
For svn do as root:
apt-get install kdesvn
You can paste the svn-address into the konqueror and it looks like an ftp-site then.

Yeah I figured it out just before you posted, thanks.
However, now I have the source code I am slightly confused.
There are several directories and a number of text files - but no configure script.
The text files that are included are as follows:
Code:
AUTHORS COPYING kde.pamd Makefile.am.in README
configure.in.bot INSTALL kscreensaver.pamd Makefile.cvs README.pam
configure.in.in kdebase.lsm Mainpage.dox mkpamserv startkde
How do I generate the required configure script from this?
Specifically I wouldn't mind being able to build an installable .deb file if at all possible. |

Just know how to access svn, but I have never done anything with those packages. 
Someone who knows hopefully pops in

| There should be an autogen file in there. Run that first. Then ./configure |

Hi I got quite far with this. If anyone is interested in installing this, the key appears to be to run make -f Makefile.cvs (although I'm sure that's not news to anyone else around here but me) to generate configure. You need the KDE development libraries kdevelop Autoconf, Automake, and Libtool (or at least I don't think there is any harm in installing them) and you may want to install the Sun Java development libraries too - since the configure appears to look for them. Also you should probably install and configure Beagle search too - as this Kmenu integrates Beagle into it's search function. then you should run ./configure. Make sure you pay close attention to ./configure - as there are several options here that it informs you are a good idea to install.
However I still ran into a snag. I got as far as just about installing it - then I hit a weird error.
After running ./configure (which I ran with no additional options - as I was unsure of what options if any to use) I ran checkinstall to build a Debian based package and this seemed to get really quite far, right up to near the end of 'make install'.
However somewhere near what must be the end of the process (since it took a long time) I got the following error:
Code:

Throughout the build process I get a reoccurring error too, from rm (or remove) saying "rm cannot remove is a directory" so it seems that the build script has some problems with removing items after building them - although I am uncertain if this is fatal.
Can anyone possibly suggest a way to resolve this? |

Do you have libkonq4-dev installed?
It is not brought in by kdebase-dev |

Rat's... I thought you had something there. Thanks for the reply. Yes I do have that library installed.
This is a pretty obscure issue I know. What are the chances anyone will figure out what the problem is? |

According to apt-file search kbookmarknotifier.h is part of kdelibs4-dev.
Unfortunately I know you have that installed since konq-dev requires it
I see a lot of unsuccessfully attempts at this on the web, but I wish you luck.
BTW, you are aware that you are rebuilding a large part of kde from source? Right now you are rebuilding konqueror.
If that is your plan than this may help

Ok, per the kde forums

To use KDE Logo Kickoff you'll have to recompile your Kdebase..

No vista doesn't have anything like that. I've used Vista - and like KDE it still uses essentially the old Windows 95 start menu system.
It seems like a lot of work to set up though - I admit. But maybe not so bad if you can set up a second version of KDE that won't be overwritten with the next point release of KDE via apt. |

| Not wanting to come across as a vista expert- it has that exact start menu, except its black. Of course its possible to select the old win style start menu. Really im suprised KDE developers would waste time copying vista. Anyway how many people want to click K/start and have half the screen taken up? |

Sorry, the Vista menu is nothing like this. I have Vista installed on my desktop computer - and this is really completely different. There is no copying going on here at all as far as I can see. This was the result iof a 9 month usability study between Suse and the KDE development team - so they certainly didn't expend all those resources simply so that they could copy Vista..
Maybe you didn't watch the video? In any case actually using it is an entirely different experience.
Also I doubt there will ever be a .deb - unless I (or someone else here) manages to build one - since this is a joint project between SuSe and KDE for SuSe 10.2. |

The similarities you are pointing to are purely superficial. In practice - having used both menus extensively they work quite differently. The experience is certainly significantly different enough to not say that it is in any way a direct copy. Why not try installing it and finding out for yourself?
Kickoff tends to use grouping much more effectively - whereas Vista is still at it's core not so dissimilar from every other Windows type start menu that has gone before it. |

Stands to reason that the KDE version would be far superior to the M$ one, but at the end of the day the look very similiar to me. Maybe im very superficial? hehe. Fair play to you if u like it thats great, as i said in my first post- its not to my taste. Each to there own.  |

Yes well, each to their own indeed.
Actually it's 6 of one and half a dozen of another. How many different ways are there to show a list of applications anyway?
Perhaps if it ever is included in KDE, you might gain a fuller appreciation for it - or perhaps you will use a much simpler Window manager anyway?
Peronally I am going for a full eye candy desktop, with Kickoff, cool walpapers, cool icons, XGL, Beryl the lot.... I know some peeps don't like this stuff... But It is really just to show linux off to my friends and to encourage them to switch.
Anyway on that note I have made some progress. But I am experiencing a weird error. Not a major one at this juncture - but odd all the same.
I got to step 6 on this guide:
http://yamzz.blogspot.com/2006/10/suse- ... -menu.html
And specifically to this part:
Code:
/home/kdedev/src/kde/build/suse_kickoff/configure –prefix=/home/kdedev/kde-unstable > \ /home/kde/src/kde/log/suse_kickoff.log 2>&1
Everything has gone smoothly up until this point. The only difference is I didn't want to create a user called kdedev - as I know how hard it is to change a user name in Linux once it is created and I was afraid I would be stuck with it.
Not a big issue, as, as the guide says the choice of user name is arbitrary
So instead I made a user called jebus97
So when I ran the above command it looks like this:
Code:
~/src/kde/build/suse_kickoff$ /home/jebus97/src/kde/build/suse_kickoff/configure –prefix=/home/jebus97/kde-unstable > \ /home/jebus97/src/kde/log/suse_kickoff.log 2>&1
However when I run this command I get the following error:
/src/kde/build/suse_kickoff/configure –prefix=/home/jebus197/kde-unstable > \ /home/jebus97/src/kde/log/suse_kickoff.log 2>&1
-su: /home/jebus97/src/kde/log/suse_kickoff.log: No such file or directory
jebus197@mobile1:~/src/kde/build/suse_kickoff$
However this makes no sense whatsoever, since I have followed this guide to the letter, and when I run ls on the specified directory - everything is as it should be:
Code:
/src/kde/build/suse_kickoff$ ls /home/jebus97/src/kde/log/
suse_kickoff.log
Why is it saying that the required file or directory does not exist, when very clearly it does? |

AARRGGHH! I hate that new menu and I hope it never replaces kmenu.
I've been using the menu on the suse betas/RC's and the first time I tried it I switched it off within 10 minutes. I decided to give it a chance and played around with it a bit and I still hate it. |
