We are at least two to still use Knoda...
I am in the same situation. Still using Knoda on a machine under Ubuntu 11.04 . I would like to reinstall it under a newer version of Ubuntu (or another distribution) but I always miss some dependences.
I have not yet transferred my data to Kexi, but I will try very soon.

Too bad, Knoda was exactly what I need!

I will come back to discuss with you.

A bientôt

Yes, we're missing this fellow project...

Debian Squeeze allowed to install Knoda, by installing
knoda_0.8.3-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb
libhk-classes-mysql_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
libhk-classes-dev_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
libhk-classes15ldbl_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
libhk-kdeclasses_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
python-hkclasses-mysql_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
kghostview_3.5.10-ubuntu1~hardy1.1_amd64.deb

note that, as it was for me under ubuntu 11.04, the print menu fails.
However the ps files of the reports lay in the output repertory of the the hkclasses-database repertory in the home

[EDIT] One should have a look at my message below wich include all information about installing knoda[/EDIT]

leleu, using the same protocol, i have suceed to install knoda on Linux Mint 14 using lucid packages.

I guess some will say it is not very clean to install all these old packages, but i did not encounter any conflict.

however the list of package is a bit more extensive here :

kdelibs4c2a_3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1_amd64
kdelibs-data_3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1_all
knoda_0.8.3-3ubuntu2_amd64
libavahi-qt3-1_0.6.25-1ubuntu6.2_amd64
libdb4.8_4.8.24-1ubuntu1_amd64
libhk-classes15ldbl_0.8.3-7build1_amd64
libhk-classes-mysql_0.8.3-7build1_amd64
libhk-kdeclasses7_0.8.3-3ubuntu2_amd64
libmysqlclient16_5.1.66-0ubuntu0.10.04.3_amd64
libpython2.6_2.6.5-1ubuntu6.1_amd64
libqt3-mt_3.3.8-b-6ubuntu2_amd64
python2.6_2.6.5-1ubuntu6.1_amd64
python2.6-minimal_2.6.5-1ubuntu6.1_amd64


all packages available in :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/

Most of this packages are availbe in lucid security repositeries, so you can avoid to download them directly by adding this repo for the time being and save time, but i would not recommend this solution for beginners.

A more easy way is to download the tarball i made, with all these package, and a script to automatically install them.
http://www.2shared.com/file/9oq0Jxt4/knodaLucid64_debtar.html

i would like to know if this method still work a fully working kde.

Well, after going trough the installation process of knoda again, with rleleu aniway, we have found some problem in my tarball.

first my script miss a command, to install missing dependencies

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -f

then i was missing a package , wich was not included in knoda dependencies, it was python-hk-classes.

so the list of pakcage needed by linux mint14/ ubuntu quantal are :
kdelibs4c2a_3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1_amd64
kdelibs-data_3.5.10.dfsg.1-3ubuntu2.10.04.1_all
knoda_0.8.3-3ubuntu2_amd64
libavahi-qt3-1_0.6.25-1ubuntu6.2_amd64
libdb4.8_4.8.24-1ubuntu1_amd64
libhk-classes15ldbl_0.8.3-7build1_amd64
libhk-classes-mysql_0.8.3-7build1_amd64
libhk-kdeclasses7_0.8.3-3ubuntu2_amd64
libmysqlclient16_5.1.66-0ubuntu0.10.04.3_amd64
libpython2.6_2.6.5-1ubuntu6.1_amd64
libqt3-mt_3.3.8-b-6ubuntu2_amd64
python2.6_2.6.5-1ubuntu6.1_amd64
python2.6-minimal_2.6.5-1ubuntu6.1_amd64
python-hk-classes_0.8.3-7build1_amd64

still available in http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , don't forget to search in lucid.

then it appears that tere is a bug in knoda with python 2.6, a missing path, wich can be corrected py :

Code: Select all

PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/pyshared/:/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/ knoda


here is the complete tarball with an installation script and a launch script.
http://www.2shared.com/file/NgIaxgvL/knodaLucid64_debtar.html

So, i've now fully understand all problems with knoda installation, so let's put it all together :

from hardy :

kghostview_3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy1.1_amd64

All these packages are available in : http://packages.ubuntu.com/ , don't forget to set the right version of ubuntu.

I also provided these package in the knoda tar ball, see link below.

2. copy all package in one directory. then in terminal:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -i *.deb
sudo apt-get install -f


I also provided a script in the tar ball to do that, see link below.

3. Create a launcher for knoda :
in launcher_knoda.sh

Code: Select all

PYTHONPATH=/usr/share/pyshared/:/usr/lib/pyshared/python2.6/ knoda


PS :
Tarball
Tarball link wich contain all packages, installation script and knoda launcher : http://www.2shared.com/file/azfgCAMM/knoda_UbuntuQuantal_1210_64bit.html


About the hk_classes-python bug:
if you experience the following bug :

Code: Select all

error while loading hk_this: hk_this=currentform() ,
This is caused by an instalation error. If you have installed hk_classes from a .rpm or a .deb, you must check if the package hk_classes-python is installed

First check that python-hk-classes_0.8.3-7build1_amd64 from lucid is installed.
Then check that you are using a launcher as described above, with the defenition of the pyton path.

This is caused by a modification of the folder architecture in python 2.6, wich have not been taking in account in knoda.

About the "no preview part" bug
If you experienced the following bug :

Code: Select all

Could not find a preview part !

while trying to preview, you must install kghostview_3.5.10-0ubuntu1~hardy1.1_amd64 from hardy and gs_8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.5_all from lucid.

About the "kprinter error" bug
If you cannot print and get a kprinter error from terminal, you should install kdeprint_3.5.9-0ubuntu7_amd64 from hardy.

About a 32 bit version of knoda
All these information are for AMD64 architecture, but i guess the list of package in i386 will be pretty the same, and you should be able to use it too.

About a installation on debian squeeze
Same problem , although there is less packages , they are all included in the tar ball, but dont use the instalation script, you will install unnecessary package.:
from lucid :
knoda_0.8.3-3ubuntu2_amd64.deb
libhk-classes-mysql_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
libhk-classes15ldbl_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
libhk-kdeclasses_0.8.3-7build1_amd64.deb
python-hk-classes_0.8.3-7build1_amd64

from hardy :
kghostview_3.5.10-ubuntu1~hardy1.1_amd64.deb
kdeprint_3.5.9-0ubuntu7_amd64
