88 | <para>Several KDE packages install files into D-Bus and polkit directories.
|
---|
89 | When installing KDE in a location other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>,
|
---|
90 | D-Bus and polkit need to find these files. The easiest way to achieve this is to create
|
---|
91 | the following symlinks (as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):</para>
|
---|
92 |
|
---|
93 | <screen role="root"><userinput>install -d /opt/kde4/share &&
|
---|
94 | ln -svf /usr/share/dbus-1 /opt/kde4/share &&
|
---|
95 | ln -svf /usr/share/polkit-1 /opt/kde4/share</userinput></screen>
|
---|
96 |
|
---|
97 | <para>D-Bus also needs to find the configuration files for the system-wide
|
---|
98 | bus, which, if you follow the books instructions, are installed in
|
---|
99 | <filename class="directory">/etc/kde4/dbus-1/system.d</filename>.
|
---|
100 | Fix this by issuing the following (as
|
---|
101 | <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem>):</para>
|
---|
102 |
|
---|
103 | <screen role="root"><userinput>cat > /etc/dbus-1/system-local.conf << "EOF"
|
---|
104 | <literal><!DOCTYPE busconfig PUBLIC

---|

114 | <tip>
|
---|
115 | <para>Sometimes, the installation paths are coded into installed files.
|
---|
116 | This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/kde4</filename>
|
---|
117 | is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
|
---|
118 | class="directory">/opt/kde-&kde-version;</filename>. After installing
|
---|
119 | <application>KDE4</application>, you may rename the directory and create
|
---|
120 | a symlink:</para>
|
---|
121 |
|
---|
122 | <screen role="root"><userinput>mv /opt/kde{4,-&kde-version;} &&
|
---|
123 | ln -svf kde-&kde-version; /opt/kde4</userinput></screen>
|
---|
124 |
|
---|
125 | <para>Later on, you may want to install other versions of
|
---|
126 | <application>KDE</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink and
|
---|
127 | use <filename class="directory">/opt/kde4</filename> as the prefix again
|
---|
128 | (<application>KDE</application> must not be started). Which version of
|
---|
129 | <application>KDE</application> you use depends only on where the symlink
|
---|
130 | points to. No other reconfiguration will be needed.</para>
