[opensuse-kde] Delay when switching between applications on plasma-desktop
by Thomas Hejze 05 May '13

05 May '13

Hi everyone, I observe a somewhat strange behaviour of my plasma desktop: When I try to switch between applications (say Dolphin and Firefox) I have to sustain a delay of several seconds on my desktop pc. It is definitely not a hardware issue, because my machine is about six months old (Six-Core AMD FX-6200 with 3800MHz, 8GiB Memory, 12 GiB swap space on a 1.5TB SATA-disk), further the behaviour does not occur on my notebook, which has much less perfoming hardware. The behaviour does not occur from the beginning, but later on, I suspect after the screen-saver has been called for the first time. However the effect is reproducible. I used the KDE system monitor for diagnosis. I found out that when this occurs, one of the six CPUs is always at 100%. The responsible process is obviously plasma-desktop, which is always at 17% CPU. The effect occurs only when trying to switch applications using the mouse on the "Startleiste", ALT+TAB works like it should. I am willing to provide more detailed information, but I need some help from developers, how to do that. Finally some informations on my system: OpenSuSE 12.3, x86_64, fully updated from the communitiy repos. KDE 4.10 kdebase4-workspace-4.10.0-1.8.1.x86_64 (where plasma-desktop belongs to) Kernel: 3.7.10-1.1-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 28 15:06:29 UTC 2013 (82d3f21) x86_64. Any help is appreciated.

[opensuse-kde] Kile and brackets
by Andrea Turrini 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Hi all, I have just installed oS 12.3 fully updated but I have found a different behaviour of Kile wrt brackets. Until oS 12.2, I was able to select a piece of text and then, by pressing ( or {, the text was put inside () or {}, respectively. For instance, if I selected ax+b and pressed (, the resulting text was (ax+b). The current behaviour is to replace the selected text with the bracket. Since I am still using the same configuration for kile, probably this changed behaviour depends on the new version of KDE (since the changelog of kile does not mention a change for this, and if I install kile 2.1.2 from oS 12.2, I still face the new behaviour), do you know I can restore the old behaviour?

[opensuse-kde] KDE4.11 and Qt5?
by David Lanzendörfer 25 Apr '13

25 Apr '13

Hi folks Has someone already tried building KDE4.11 against libqt5? Because obviously the developers of KDE are quiet far already in porting the kdelibs so that it will build with the new Qt-API. It would be neat to have Qt5 instead of Qt4 because 4 doesn't contain official multitouch support for X11. So if we could make KDE building with Qt5 it would not only accelerate the rendering speed of KDE on my TF201 but would also provide upstream support for multitouch which would in turn make my own Multitouch project at the OBS redundant. best regards David

[opensuse-kde] hyperlinks in notifications?

It seems hyperlinks in notifications stopped working in openSUSE 12.3 KDE. The link text shows up as underlined, but clicking it does nothing.

[opensuse-kde] Problems with ksnapshot
by Harald Stürmer 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Hello, the ksnapshot-window won't go to the background after I click on new foto if delay is set to none. This happens on my laptop with openSuSE 12.2 and *4.10.2 "release 556" from K:R. If I set a value of one second or greater, it works normally. Some modi work fine, but those in which i mark an area are showing that problem. On my other with laptop with OS 12.3 and KDE 10.0.0 it works as it should, the ksnapshot window goes to the background, even if the delay is set to no delay. regards Harald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

Heya, I noticed the pattern kde-klyde depends on kdebase4-workspace-branding- openSUSE instead of kdebase4-workspace-branding-klyde, why is that? You need the klyde one to have the klyde configuration ;-) /J

[opensuse-kde] About lightweight kde..
by Daniele 14 Apr '13

14 Apr '13

Hi guys, some thoughts after reading the post on the planet.. * Startup time and memory footprint, the main point is here ! Load less, start fast. I don't know what can be done but these things are the most important.. * System settings, needs some love. All look & feel page should be groupped. Please, don't hide/remove options. There's no a real issue here, IMHO.. Oh, what about Kdm ? LightDm could help a lot. Some features are missing but I'm sure that for a lot of people is more than enough.. Don't start klipper by default. Who really know (newbie POV) what is for ? Cleanup krunner. Some options are for geeks ;) Daniele. -- *** Linux user # 198661 ---_ ICQ 33500725 *** *** Home http://www.kailed.net *** *** Powered by openSUSE *** -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] pyside vs. pyqt requires
by todd rme 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

It looks like there is a push underway to get more support for pyside, and a number of python packages now support both. I think we are getting to the point where we need some way for packages to specify that they need either pyqt or pyside, but not necessarily both. If everyone agrees, what would be the proper way to do this? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] improving default config
by Jos Poortvliet 09 Apr '13

09 Apr '13

Heya all, After a conversation with Vishesh, I made some minor changes to the default configuration in kdebase-opensuse, namely the following: * Disabled email indexing by default (email indexing is just terribly slow. Until it is fixed we shouldn't enable it by default) * replaced no longer existing config keys (strigi indexer) with new one (fileindexer) * removed no longer existing config key 'rebuild index for type indexing' * added 'maximum memory=20' to lower memory usage (shouldn't impact performance according to Vishesh, he uses this setting himself) Patch below. Ok to commit? I'd like to continue to remove beagled-autostart.desktop.live and make the same changes to the nepomukserverrc.live file. I will then do a merge request for Factory to also remove the mention of beagled-autostart.desktop.live from the .spec file.

[opensuse-kde] Memory usage widget
by Vojtěch Zeisek 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Hello, I upgraded from 12.2 to 12.3, keeping KDE 4.10 from respective repository. I use to have CPU and memory (RAM and swap) usage widget (little graphs) in panel and on desktop. After upgrade, CPU widget works fine, but memory usage widget is empty (see attached screenshot). Memory usage widget in panel says „No data connection“. When I remove the widget and insert it again, it works fine until next restart of KDE. I have never had such issue before. Any idea what could cause it and how to solve it?

[opensuse-kde] providing packages issues
by Alin M Elena 08 Apr '13

08 Apr '13

Dear All, this week two projects dear to me and I hope a lot of other users and devs got releases out: kde 4.10.2 and kde telepathy. both provided in community maintained repos KDE:Release:410 and KDE:Extra. Unfortunately if some curious, tester or old time user wants to try the packages he/she will not find them... why? simple.. obs was not really usable. I see two issues with the situation... 1. Users get frustrated cause they cannot find the latest announced versions... We fail to capitalise on the wave of interests that usually gets created when a new version is released. 2. packagers/testers get frustrated... The community did the work for these packages to be ready on time for the release... just to discover we did not have enough steam to build the official tar balls. Shall we understand that the community work is not really important for opensuse? To make things ever more annoying... my home projects build and published faster that packages in KDE:Extra... so I can conclude it is simple an issue of policies and priorities on obs... Can we have a discussion on this please? Let us try, as a community, to establish and implement a set of rules on using obs build power in such a way that gives the community repos some advantage over home and branch projects in order to make opensuse shine.

[opensuse-kde] Broken dependency in 4.10.2: kdebase4-workspace and kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE

Hi Guys, with the recent offering of KDE 4.10.2 in K:R:410 the dependency of kdebase4-workspace to kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE is broken. Could somebody please increase the "Offers kdebase4-workspace-branding=4.10.1"with kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE_12.3-249.2so that it works with kdebase4-workspace_4.10.2 which of course needs kdebase4-workspace-branding=4.10.2?

[opensuse-kde] Window-switching in 4.10.x is animated and slow
by Manuel Krause 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Hello! First of all thank you all for continuously providing fresh KDE compilations for openSUSE. In my case for openSUSE 12.2. Problem: KDE 4.10.x: Whenever I switch from an active window to another (inactive) one the title bar and the corner frame are _animatedly_ getting colored, what takes _too much_ time before the window gets active/usable. This applies to all open windows (e.g. Firefox, konsole, smplayer, Thunderbird, dolphin, ...) and to starting ones. No way to turn this off?! Workaround: Downdgrade to KDE 4.9.5. The problem described above doesn't occur with 4.9.x. My machine is quite old but working well, I have a working 3.8.5 kernel with ck1 (BFS v0.428) and BFQ v6. I'll add more info if needed upon request. As I'm not yet on your mailing list please CC me, if I wrote to the wrong address, please, help/point me to the right one.

[opensuse-kde] Patch review for KDE packages
by Luca Beltrame 02 Apr '13

02 Apr '13

Hello, A new page has been published in the wiki[1] with the aims of tracking what patches are there in the openSUSE KDE packages, which ones are needed, which ones can be discarded, and lastly if some can be upstreamed (or if they are upstream already). Feel free to add information on the patches there. For now I think it's better to stick to the main KDE packages, nameliy the libraries and the workspaces. If this efforts proves fruitful, we can extend it to other packages. Comments are welcome!
