Note that this is not needed to have KDE3 installed as well. Becaus= e having multiple KDE4 installations has known issues like bugs [bug=3D25= 8027]258027[/bug] or [bug=3D267793]267793[/bug], it's not ready for publi= c consumption hence it's been disabled by default. + + +[color=3Dorange]Q:[/color] I want to run amarok, but all I get is "symbo= l lookup error: /usr/kde/live/lib64/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so: undefi= ned symbol". What should I do? + +[b]A:[/b] It's a Qt bug that appears when using [b]kdeprefix[/b] USE fla= g. Qt plugin loader appends "qtplugins" path from currently running KDE4 = session, causing oxygen.so from wrong KDE prefix to be dlopen'ed. Unfortu= nately it as well cashes plugin locations in [color=3Dblue]~/.config/Trol= ltech.conf[/color], making it permanently broken unless the file is remov= ed. It usually happens with amarok or any other KDE4 applications install= ed in no prefix ([color=3Dblue]/usr[/color]), that are built against exis= ting KDE4 in one prefix (for example [color=3Dblue]/usr/kde/4.2[/color]),= but run from the other (for example in Gnome, KDE3 or [color=3Dblue]/usr= /kde/live[/color]). For now there's no known solution. + + +[color=3Dorange]Q:[/color] Why there are no sets for KDE4? + +[b]A:[/b] KDE4 so far is NOT making use of sets but sets are expected to= arrive in near future - the reason is - the naming convention for sets i= s not yet established. Although KDE4 Gentoo team prepared some sets for y= ou [url=3Dhttp://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=3Dproj/kde.git;a=3Dtre= e;f=3Dsets;h=3D829bc933b1e43e13133dcd6f9c2c2c5566569315;hb=3Dmaster]here[= /url] (click 'raw' to download file and place in [color=3Dblue]/etc/porta= ge/sets/[/color]).

Konque= ror refuses to start, complaining about default stylesheet version mismat= ch. What's going on? + +[b]A:[/b] This is the conflict related to mixed KDE3/KDE4 sessions. To f= ix this issue you need to [url=3Dhttp://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kd= e/kde-split-ebuilds.xml]upgrade[/url] your existing KDE 3.5.x installatio= ns to 3.5.10 or newer.

To check that, run: +[code]which kdm[/code] +If it's not found, then probably your environment is not up to date.
