[opensuse-kde] obs-generator: error parsing project data
by David Jarvie 14 Apr '11

14 Apr '11

I tried to run obs-generator to update my project to add new KDE repositories, with the following command line: obs-generator --setup-project-unified home:djar:kalarm but it output the error: ERROR: Failed to parse osc project data I assume that the project data referred to is the INFO file, which hasn't changed since I last ran kde-obs-generator several months ago.

[opensuse-kde] Could you readd openSUSE 11.1 build targets for KDE:Release:45 and KDE:Distro:Factory please
by Hans-Peter Jansen 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, could some kind soul with KDE: admin privileges readd these targets for the KDE:Release:45 and KDE:Distro:Factory projects at least? E.g: add this segment to the respective project: <repository name="openSUSE_11.1"> <path repository="standard" project="DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1:Update"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> <arch>i586</arch> </repository> Thanks in advance, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Konq4 menu fonts smaller than other menu fonts under KDE3
by Felix Miata 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Yesterday on a limited space (4.8G /) test system I installed 11.4/Tumbleweed/KDE3. I locked out via zypper and/or YaST2 as much of KDE4 as I could get away with, but need Konq4 for testing. I can't find any way to change Konq menu fonts, apparently 9pt, which I presume must be controlled via systemsettings for KDE4. http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/konq460-kde3-fonts.png zypper se system produced no result for systemsettings without some form of appendage to kde3. From systemsettings(kde3) for fonts I see only the kcontrol fonts page (with most fonts as previously set via kcontrol->fonts to 10pt), not the one for systemsettings(kde4), which is distinctly different by including "Small" as one of the font types. kcmshell4 --list shows nothing including the word "font", unlike on my other 11.4 systems running KDE 4.6. Output of that command to file is only 2020 bytes, compared to same run under KDE4 DTE at 5906 bytes. How do I get Konq4 to use the same menu fonts as KDE3 apps & Geckos in KDE3? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] KUP repos
by Cor Blom 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Hi, KUP has only those repos enabled with KDE >= 4.6 to save buildpower and because most apps there need 4.6 at least. I am also building lyx 2 in that project (not a kde app, but a qt one), at the moment at rc3. Is it all right to enable the openSUSE 11.2 and 11.3 repos until the release of 2.0.0 (in a month or so)? Possibly rc3 is the latest rc before stable, or rc4. I know I can also build it in my home project, but in KUP it has a little more visibility (and I know there are some who use it, at least one has helped to correct an error by reporting a bug at lyx.org).

[opensuse-kde] IMAP messages in kmail stopped working
by Richard 11 Apr '11

11 Apr '11

Hi, I no longer get incoming imap messages in kmail, till noon it worked. At that time I switched off my computer. I just started my computer again, and now no imap emails are delivered. They are present, I can e.g. see and process them with Thunderbird and Mutt. Imap messages to another account are working. I re-logged in and restarted the computer, to see if that helped, but it does not unfortunately. This is on openSUSE_11.4 with kmail-4.4.10-277.1.x86_64 Does anyone know, what can be done to make it work again, or what debugging can be done? -- TIA, Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE:Release:XX HOWTO
by Javier Llorente 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hi KDE Team, First of all, I would like to thank Will and Raymond for their help. I have learnt many things from them :-) I have written this HOWTO to share what I've learnt from the past few months. Feel free to improve it. KDE:Release:XX HOWTO =================== This is a HOWTO for setting up and maintaining a KDE:Release:XX repository. Before starting, please take into considerations the following: Coordinate the work with others. If the Qt version in KDE:Distro:Factory is newer than the one shipped with openSUSE, don't link libqt4, instead aggregate it (ie: from KDE:Qt:STABLE) and patch kde4-filesystem (macros.kde4). KDE:Release:XX shouldn't pull a newer version of Qt (ie: 4.6.x vs 4.7.x) unless it's required to build KDE. Please do not accept/submit patches for KDE base packages in KDE:Release:XX as long as they are links to KDE:Distro:Factory packages. This may cause link conflicts when updating links revisions! Generally speaking, patches should go to KDE:Distro:Factory first. Ready to go? 1. Create the KDE:Release:XX repository or ask to have it created for you. 2. Create links in KDE:Release:XX osc ls KDE:Distro:Factory |xargs -i -t osc linkpac KDE:Distro:Factory {} KDE:Release:XX 3. Relink subpackages to base packages in KDE:Release:46. ie: perl-kde4 / kdebindings4.  #!/usr/bin/perl my $repository = "KDE:Release:46"; my %kde_sub_packages = ( "kdeaccessibility4-icons" => "kdeaccessibility4", "kdeartwork4-noarch" => "kdeartwork4", "kdebase4-wallpapers" => "kdebase4-workspace", "kdeedu4-noarch" => "kdeedu4", "kdegames4-carddecks" => "kdegames4", "kdelibs4-apidocs" => "kdelibs4", "mono-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "perl-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "python-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "python-kdebase4" => "kdebase4-workspace", "ruby-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "smoke-generator" => "kdebindings4", ); foreach $sub_package (sort keys %kde_sub_packages){ system("osc rdelete $repository $sub_package"); system("osc linkpac -C copy $repository $kde_sub_packages{$sub_package} $repository $sub_package"); }  4. Fix links for KDE base packages to latest revision. The following perl script does it for you:  #!/usr/bin/perl my $repository = "KDE:Release:46"; my @kdebase = qw( kde4-filesystem kde4-l10n kdeaccessibility4 kdeadmin4 kdeartwork4 kdebase4 kdebase4-runtime kdebase4-workspace kdebindings4 kdeedu4 kdegames4 kdegraphics4 kdelibs4 kdemultimedia4 kdenetwork4 kdesdk4 kdetoys4 kdeutils4 kdewebdev4 oxygen-icon-theme plasma-addons ); foreach (@kdebase){ system("osc setlinkrev $repository $_"); }  You may also want to fix links for some packages such as amarok. 5. Delete packages that aren't needed for openSUSE. ie: gpgme 6. Copy the project config from KDE:Distro:Factory Run osc meta prjconf -e KDE:Release:46 to edit it. 7. Add a repository. ie: openSUSE:11.4 + openSUSE:11.4:Update path 8. Raw config: disable publish, enable one architecture (ie: x86_64) and see how it goes. run osc meta prj -e KDE:Release:XX to edit it. 9. Once everything is green, enable all archs and add repositories for other openSUSE versions. 10. All green? Then enable publish :-) 11. Ask maintainers to enable other repos (ie: KDE:Extras) to build against KDE:Release:46. Updating KDE in KDE:Release:46 In most cases, updating the link revisions of the KDE base packages is enough (running the script from point 4 would do that). Don't forget to disable publish first! If an alpha/beta of KDE is about to arrive in KDE:Distro:Factory, copypac the packages from KDE:Distro:Factory to KDE:Release:46 first. From that point on, KDE:Release:46 would contain packages and not links. That means that you could accept patches or that you would have to upload tarballs everytime there's a new release of KDE. Comments and suggestions are welcome! ;-) Cheers, -- Javier Llorente

[opensuse-kde] Plasma Active on openSUSE
by Sebastian Kügler 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hi opensuse-kde :), As some of you know, we've been working on non-desktop UIs in #plasma and #opensuse-kde for a while, with very nice results. I've put together a blog post about Plasma Active, and a bunch of wiki pages the name we've given this effort. http://vizzzion.org/blog/2011/04/plasma-active-a-desirable-user-experience- encompassing-the-device-spectrum/ http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active I have Plasma Active running on a nice tablet here, and it pretty much rocks (buggy, but still). To make it rock even more (and bring it to an end-user ready thing), there's some more work involved. I've detailed what needs to be done on: http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Tasks#openSUSE If you find this project interesting, please help us making Active a success. We're already a pretty determined team, but not strong enough yet to develop its full potential. Will has started moving the stuff which resided in my home project to a new one, KDE:Active, which will be our working base. (You can find more details about the workflow of development, deployment and testing on the Wiki, under Development). We're planning to get two-weekly snapshot images out, and regularly updated packages from master for people to test and quickly see their results deployed. Special thanks go out to tittiatcoke and wstephenson for helping me get these packages working. You guys rock :-) Cheers, -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Plasma Active, was: Re: [opensuse-project] future features

But I guess there are other ideas people would like > to work on, right? Quite. :) We (open-slx) are doing a Plasma Active device-independent user experience, based on openSUSE and Plasma. I've just blogged about Plasma Active, as many of you won't have heard of it yet: http://vizzzion.org/blog/2011/04/plasma- active-a-desirable-user-experience-encompassing-the-device-spectrum/ There's more information on communitybase: http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active .. and a video for the impatient: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GAFfjscVyg In all due modesty, I've an insanely great openSUSE in my hands, running on a tablet computer. :) We're working on it on the opensuse-kde list, and on the active(a)kde.org list, packages have been developed in the OBS, and the sources are upstream at KDE's Git. There are 11.4-based packages and a live iso. The status is "boots and kinda works", lots of showstoppers. We're targeting our first stable release end of Sept. I understand that non-desktop or -server stuff may not be everybody's cup of tea, but those who would like to lend a hand on making openSUSE rock on all kinds of new devices are very welcome to do so. (See http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Tasks for some inspiration.) Plasma Active is also quite different in its approach to the upstream/downstream: we're a cross-stack, multi-disciplined team (designers, hackers, testers, packagers, ...), working across borders dedicated to create a desirable user experience. As to marketing and communication, please do not overhype this thing at this point. Those that can be of value to our mission should surely know. We've worked out a communication strategy in the Plasma Active team, so if you're planning to do any substantial PR around it right now, I'd much prefer if we first concentrate on making it really rock, and above all that we coordinate it.

[opensuse-kde] Mount point of an external disk
by Giacomo Comes 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi, If I mount an external usb disk clicking on the device notifier icon, it is mounted in /media/<filesystem label> That's good. If the filesystem doesn't have a label, up to 11.3 it was mounted on /media/disk, now on 11.4 it is mounted on /media/<uuid>. That's ugly. How can I revert things back and have the disk mounted on /media/disk when I click on the corresponding icon in the device notifier? Other question. I like very much the possibility to mount and dismount external devices not only with mouse clicks, but also using shell commands. Up to 11.3 I used halmount. I could mount a device with halmount and dismount it from the desktop and viceversa. However, now if I mount a device from the desktop and I try to dismount it with halmount I receive this error message: /dev/sdb1: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.NotMountedByHal: Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL I know that hal is now obsolete, so I'm asking: what command can I use now that has the same functionality of halmount?
