82 | <para>Several KDE packages install files into D-Bus and polkit directories.
|
---|
83 | When installing KDE in a location other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>,
|
---|
84 | D-Bus and polkit need to find these files. The easiest way to achieve this is to create
|
---|
85 | the following symlinks (as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):</para>
|
---|
86 |
|
---|
87 | <screen role="root"><userinput>install -d &kde-dir;/share &&
|
---|
88 | ln -svf /usr/share/dbus-1 &kde-dir;/share &&
|
---|
89 | ln -svf /usr/share/polkit-1 &kde-dir;/share</userinput></screen>
|
---|
90 |
|
---|
91 | <tip>
|
---|
92 | <para>Sometimes, the installation paths are coded into installed files.
|
---|
93 | This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/kde</filename>
|
---|
94 | is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
|
---|
95 | class="directory">/opt/kde-&kde-version;</filename>. After installing
|
---|
96 | <application>KDE</application>, you may rename the directory and create
|
---|
97 | a symlink:</para>
|
---|
98 |
|
---|
99 | <screen role="root"><userinput>mv /opt/kde{,-&kde-version;} &&
|
---|
100 | ln -svf kde-&kde-version; /opt/kde</userinput></screen>
|
---|
101 |
|
---|
102 | <para>Later on, you may want to install other versions of
|
---|
103 | <application>KDE</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink and
|
---|
104 | use <filename class="directory">/opt/kde</filename> as the prefix again
|
---|
105 | (<application>KDE</application> must not be started). Which version of
|
---|
106 | <application>KDE</application> you use depends only on where the symlink
|
---|
107 | points to. No other reconfiguration will be needed.</para>
