[opensuse-kde] problems with knetworkmanager
by CP Hennessy 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Hi, I've never had much success with the default knetwork manager from KDE4.2 or 4.3 running on a 64bit openSUSE 11.1 ( with some updates from the repositories and 2.6.31pre-something ). The versions of NetworkManager rpms are: NetworkManager-0.7.0.r4359-15.2.2 NetworkManager-kde4-0.9.svn1021242-106.1 NetworkManager-kde4-libs-0.9.svn1021242-106.1 plasmoid-networkmanagement-0.9.svn1021242-106.1 NetworkManager-openvpn-0.7.0.r4274-1.18 NetworkManager-kde4-lang-0.9.svn1021242-106.1 NetworkManager-kde-0.7r848570-23.2.1 libproxy0-networkmanager-0.2.3-17.1 NetworkManager-glib-0.7.0.r4359-15.2.2 NetworkManager-openvpn-gnome-0.7.0.r4274-1.18 NetworkManager-openvpn-kde-0.7r848570-23.2.1 NetworkManager-gnome-0.7.0.r1053-11.1.1 The only way I got any success was by using the attached altered /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager-kde4.conf file. However since a recent update where my changes were moved to an .rpmsave file the standard file again does not work. The error I see in /var/log/NetworkManager is : ....NetworkManager: <WARN> connection_get_settings_cb(): connection_get_settings_cb: Invalid connection: 'NMSettingWireless' / '(null)' invalid: 3 From the user perspective I can see the kdenetworkmanager app and see that the eth0 is active, but although the previously configured wireless networks can be seen I cannot select any of them. I'm not sure what other info would be useful. Anyone else got any hints ? Thanks, CPH

[opensuse-kde] M7 on USB stick - making, boot, installation, first steps
by Rajko M. 14 Sep '09

14 Sep '09

Making: All you need is: http://download.opensuse.org/factory/iso/ openSUSE-KDE4-LiveCD-i686-Build0271-Media.iso plus http://lizards.opensuse.org/2009/08/13/cliced-hybrids/ Boot: I had to change boot order in BIOS. + reasonably fast on 64 bit machine AMD Athlon 3500+ with 1GB RAM + desktop effects work + nice default theme Air openSUSE - wireless (BCM4318) doesn't work ssb/b43 driver are missing firmware - hal doesn't run Workaround: install fixed package from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Base:/System/openSUSE_Factory/ - knetworkmanager even after installation of new hal package doesn't work Systray icon doesn't have many options Manage Connections and Enable Wireless. How to turn off the thing ? - wired doesn't work after cable was plugged in Workaround: use YaST > Network Devices > Network Settings tab General to switch to ifup method (and if there is no Internet run 'rcnetwork restart') Installation: Not much to say - in other words, looks good as graphics and it works without glitch. First steps: Just as with LiveCD, pardon LiveUSB. Network is down, but somehow it picked up hal update from live system. Not sure for the rest, but zypper up didn't gave many updates. I haven't time to check logs, trying to find firmware for the wireless. - file associations are messed up again Firefox is trying to use GIMP to open .pdf file. Check is Okular installed. Firefox download manager is using Gwenview to open download folder. Dolphin is installed. Today I used Ubuntu for a while and it gave me idea to put new user glasses with M7. Looking for application to install, I have to go to: Main Menu > Computer to find Install Software. It would be good to have it in Favorites. It is not very often used later, but right after system installation I need it more then (crippled) Amarok and Digicam. I need it specially because I want working Amarok, so I have to install something. Favorites tab is meant to be changed per user needs. Now, how to explain new user how to add application to Favorites is another pair of shoes :) Right click gives me option to remove, but not to add, like almost any other widget. New guy has to wait until it perform right click on some of menu items in another tab, or somewhere in other parts of Main Menu to find Add To Favorites option. Quicklaunch widget has add icon option, so code exist. (more about Quicklaunch bugs tomorrow) I'll keep new user glasses for a while, as it may help to add small helpers around the desktop that will make using openSUSE first class experience. -- Regards, Rajko People of openSUSE editor.

Re: [opensuse-kde] KDE 4.3.1 / SuSE 11.1 : How to add and move Kicker Applications?
by Paul Hands 13 Sep '09

13 Sep '09

Hi, Still no luck. I cannot add an icon to the panel except by the route of creating a new menu item (which is non-optimal). Deleting an existing icon is in some cases impossible (The Add, Edit and Remove network connections applet has no delete or quit possibility). Moving icons is impossible still. I tried the Live CD version of 4.3.1, and it behaves exactly the same on two different machines and in VirtualBox. I can only conclude that these features don't work, or I'm doing something wrong (which is more likely). Any ideas?

10 Sep '09

Hi, I'm using the KDE 4.2.96 packages from Factory repository. I noticed there is no akregator resource for google calendar but it is being developed in kde-extragear. IMHO is very useful, should be possible to package it?

[opensuse-kde] Eric missing dependencies
by todd rme 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

The current version of eric in KDE4:Factory:Desktop for opensuse 11.1 x64 (and maybe other versions as well) has a number of dependencies that are not available in either the standard opensuse repositories or any of the KDE4 repositories. This may be because opensuse factory is using later versions of the packages, and it is possible to get the packages from other repositories, but if there is a way to avoid that it would be preferable. Here are the missing required packages: python-pysvn >= 1.7.0, opensuse 11.1 has 1.6.0, needed version found in devel:tools:scm:svn and Subversion repos python-logilab-astng >= 0.19.0, opensuse 11.1 has 0.17.3, needed version found in devel:languages:python repo python-logilab-common >= 0.43.0, opensuse 11.1 has 0.35.0, needed version not found in official repositories And missing recommended packages: python-rope >= 0.9.2, not present in opensuse 11.1, found in devel:languages:python repo python-enchant >= 1.5.3, opensuse 11.1 has 1.5.1, needed version not in official repos python-pylint >= 0.18.0, opensuse 11.1 has 0.15.0 of pylint but not python-pylint, neither pylint 0.18.0 nor python-pylint of any version are found in official repos I can understand something like KPackage requiring a single repository (smart) that has essentially only that one package (plus a couple of guis for it), since there is no chance of it causing conflicts. But requiring three additional repositories just to install the program, including one user repository, and each with a lot of packages that could cause conflicts with installed packages seems different to me. I am not sure if there is a way around it, it may just be something people using the KDE4:factory repo have to deal with, but hopefully there is some other way. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
