Put the folder in modules and reboot!

Enjoy

Please fix your image tag. It should be like this: Thanks

Merci beaucoup for the tip, Hamzá!

Anyway to get Gwenview and KIPI plug-ins working without KDE4 in 32-bit? Is it just a matter of adding a few missing libraries? Or is the integration deeper than that?

Thanks,

Hi schultzer!

Welcome an board. In fact, Gwenview is part of the official Porteus 32-bit (Trinity) edition, but it has no plugins to extend and make the file viewer more complete and attractive.

You can try starting Gwenview (+ kipi) in a console and following the demands of the program. Basically, the difference between trinity and kde4 versions is the compilation. Trinity uses qt3, kde4 uses qt4.

As Porteus main features are compactness and efectivness (small footprint), in trinity you sacrifice secondary features in favor of the first mentioned. If you would like to have a more advanced system, you can modify your standard edition to kde4 as described somewhere in this forum (but you will have a bigger footprint = you will use more ram for your system).

Yeah, sorry for the noobies there. I'm actually a Slacker but I put Porteus on an old laptop ('cuz it's Slackware in a format the fits on the CF card that drives this box). And I totally forgot my usual trouble shooting techniques.

I noticed later that Gwenview was there, but without plugins. I mainly use the Picasaweb upload plugin, can't really live without it. I'll see what I can figure out, but so far all the Slackware packages I've built are just re-packages - not compiles.

Thanks for your answer,

Hmm, so I've been on the Trinity Desktop Environment site, and their GIT repository. I'm trying to compile the Kipi-plugins and dependencies.

But I'm getting problems with missing QT3 dependencies.
Is there a "developer pack" module that provides missing header files, etc. for compiling modules in Porteus? Or am I supposed to build the modules on a full Slackware system? I don't have any 32-bit Slackware setups so that could be an issue for me.

Thanks,

You can download qt3 from Slackbuilds.org and make a xzm module out of it by right clicking on it.
The crippled kernel sources are posted in the forum by fanthom.

Good luck!
