[opensuse-kde] Moving from git.opensuse.org to gitorious.org
by Lubos Lunak 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hello, as already mentioned during the last IRC meeting, we're moving the public repos to gitorious. So the desktop-data and kdebase4-openSUSE repos are now http://gitorious.org/opensuse/kdebase4-opensuse and http://gitorious.org/opensuse/desktop-data . I think I've copied them completely without problems, but I'll still keep the old ones, just in case. But of course do not use them anymore. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak(a)suse.cz , l.lunak(a)kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Cannot Print from Okular
by Anshul Jain 09 Sep '09

09 Sep '09

Hi all, I'm using the latest and greatest KDE 4.3.1 on Opensuse 11.0. I'm unable to print from Okular though...other Qt/KDE apps like Kmail, Opera etc are all fine. I've updated a bugzilla report at :- https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=384674. I believe that this is a problem with Opensuse (or maybe I'm doing something wrong??) as Mandriva's KDE 4.3.1 works flawlessly with Okular. The one difference being that Opensuse uses YaST to configure the printer and Mandriva uses RH's system-config-printer. Could this be the cause? I'd really appreciate some help!

Everything worked like a charm. This week end I had to move to another computer with ATI GPU. I Installed again OS11.1 and added KDE4.3.1. It worked awfully bad, so I installed the catalyst drivers. Since then I face the same problem as you. I tried to disable desktop effects but the problem is the same. Under IceWM, glxgears shows more than 4000fps, so I take it as a confirmation that the problem is not at the level of X or the driver. It really seems related to Kwin that does not digest something. I tried to wait several minutes and... Little by little the desktop appeared. But awfully slow (opening kickoff takes more than 1min) and absolutely unusable. Does anybody know which X settings could/should be used in order to resolve this problem, or should I file a bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] konqueror and kde4
by Anders Johansson 08 Sep '09

08 Sep '09

There are many things being discussed between kde3 and kde4, but one thing I haven't seen talked about yet is konqueror. The most striking - and most surprising - thing about kde4 for me is that in 4.3.1, konqueror is finally a usable browser. It has become an absolutely brilliant web browser, which is for me now a competitor to firefox in all but plugins and extensions. All my previous javascript headaches which kept me from using it on a daily basis seems to have gone now. There are still some issues, but the advances it has made in the recent past are just astonishing. Just thought I'd mention it Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

About the KDE Development Mail List link you referred to: I am not a programmer & just a regular user so the technical part I could not follow; but the tone of the conversation was that the <.desktop> file extension was into some controversy amongst the developers.

Refer to image [4] again: [2] > [3] > [4] happen each time I click on an app icon from the desktop folder. I tried logging in as 'root' into KDE 4.3: the icons there do not have this <.desktop> extension and the app (eg OO.org) is correctly launched on clicking the desktop folder icon: there are no pop-up boxes, even the first time. GNOME or Xfce do not have pop-up boxes for regular or root users; it seems to be an unnecessary feature, if at all it was introduced by design (as a security measure ?). [From Basil] > > Under Desktop Settings>File Manager so you have Dolphin selected or is it set to the default Gwenview? I un-installed Gwenview & now the folders open with Dolphin. Again, this did not happen as 'root'. Anyway, I hope upgrading to a later release of KDE (4.4 ?) would solve this problem. Will try out Rajko's suggestion of deleting and creating fresh shortcuts for the apps also.
