Kubuntu - back and gone

Sun, 03/21/2010 - 23:48 — asoliverez

As I told in my previous post, I am now using Linux at work. I have been running Arch at home since October, and I never looked back, but in this case, the servers are Ubuntu 9.04, so I decided to give Kubuntu a new chance. I installed Kubuntu 9.04 to stay in sync with the servers.

So, I installed it myself, then activated the Kubuntu backport PPAs to get the latest KDE version. Well, it was not the latest, but at least it was 4.3.1. It looks like they had stopped updating the Jaunty short before Karmic's release. Well, it wasn't bad.

New full KMyMoney package in Arch AUR

Fri, 03/19/2010 - 07:00 — asoliverez

Some time ago, I took over an orphan KMyMoney package in SVN. I fixed so that it works, but I wasn't so happy with it. Since it downloads a straight snapshot from SVN, it doesn't have docs or translations.

KMyMoney-SVN package available for Arch

Tue, 01/12/2010 - 23:53 — asoliverez

I took over a package that had been disowned and modified it to make it build on Arch with libofx. Aqbanking is still pending because I haven't found a suitable Qt4 package, but I will modify it when I do.

You can find the package in AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=33252

If you use kdemod, modify the PKGBUILD to depend on kdemod-kdelibs-debug instead of on kdelibs.

Downtime expected

Sun, 10/04/2009 - 02:10 — asoliverez

During the next week there will be probably some downtime of this blog. I am probably installing Arch on this server, as I am fed up with my current distro, and the perspectives are not good for the next release. The local Ubuntu community was the main thing holding me from switching, and those ties were severed too in the last few weeks, so it's time to move on. Anyway, expect this blog to be offline over the next days.

UPDATE:

A good technical explanation on why Kubuntu is criticized:
