[opensuse-kde] elarun splash with KDM?
by Felix Miata 22 Feb '16

22 Feb '16

What actually controls what splash is available, the greeter/DM, or the DE? Is there a TW or Leap package I can install to get Elarun in KF5 instead of a choice between Breeze and nothing? Configure splash doesn't provide a way to see where the selections live so as to be able to run rpm -qf on them to see what rpm owns them. Installing kde4-wallpaper-default got Elarun for the desktop wallpaper, but not for splash. SDDM isn't an option due to KDM features SDDM lacks, unless SDDM can be used just for configuration access to optional splashes and not required to be the configured greeter. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] missing window decorations, again
by Felix Miata 19 Sep '15

19 Sep '15

TW freshly zypper up'd to 20150831 and now running 5.12.0 on 32 bit 2.8GHz single core P4. This is hardly the first host this has happened on over the years. Every time I get frustrated trying to figure out what packages provide window decorations so that I can install something to get window decorations back. It seems like in the past it was usually something with string oxygen in package name, but I just went through this again without remembering what fixed it the last time, less than a month ago. This time I figured out kdeartwork4-decorations was a/the missing requirement. Has whatever is required to produce window decorations been changing over the past few months or years, with old named packages periodically being removed without ensuring via rpm dependency something else takes their place(es)? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] leap + kde session
by stakanov＠freenet.de 16 Sep '15

16 Sep '15

I noticed that with "restore last session" in KDE the plasmoids and order on the screen is lost. If this is intentional, O.K. but then shouldn't we advice new user to change the default because otherwise they will loose their personalization (plasmoids and their position)?

The question is now: is it opensuse or kde5/plasma related i´ve found a few similar reports. Some are solved with removing plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc and some not. i will sent a copy to the kde list, maybe we get an reaction -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] want to update upstream bug product from plasma4
by Felix Miata 07 Sep '15

07 Sep '15

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229984 This was assigned product plasma4, component panel. I wished it applied to current version, but there is no plasma5 product in the select list. I figured out the equivalent product by searching for panel to see it should be plasmashell, but surely there must be a more efficient way. Is there some sort of web page list of what converts to or obsoletes what post-KDE4? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

I'm not disagreeing with the modularisation of it. Its more important to you as a developer/maintainer than an ordinary user. As a user I would like to goto Yast and select KDE 5 (for example) and let the system pull in whats relevant. > > My personal opinion is that all the sub-grouping is more relevant and > > meaningful to the developers than the users. > > No, it's important also for the users. How many times you've seen "I would > love app XYZ but I don't want to install the whole KDE for it"? I think that an issue for the person not using KDE as their desktop. Shouldn't software like Yast pull in the dependencies it needs for a specific app installation so the user does not have to care? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

Yes, so it is. but calling it KDE 5.x would be better for us ordinary users on the sidelines than KDE Plasma 5.x with KDE applications 15.x with Plasma Workspaces 4.x My personal opinion is that all the sub-grouping is more relevant and meaningful to the developers than the users. > > Kind Regards, > Wolfgang regards ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Dolphin Icon Size Changed with Plasma 5.4.0
by Sam M. 05 Sep '15

05 Sep '15

Hi, I just upgraded to Plasma 5.4.0 on Tumbleweed, and the Icons have changed size when viewed in Dolphin. Either they are too big or are too small, but the inbetween setting that looked just right with the last few versions of Plasma 5 is now gone. I'm talking about when you use the slider at the bottom right hand side of the window. The first thing I noticed when on 5.4.0 was all the icons in Dolphin looked really tiny to me. Is there a way to revert this change? I really don't like it.

[opensuse-kde] What's the state with Plasma 5.4 in TW
by Stefan Vater 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

Hi, what's the state with Plasma 5.4 in Tumbleweed? 5.4.0 is already out some time and 5.4.1 will be out on Tuesday. Is there any chance in the near future that it will be added, or does one have to add the Frameworks5 repo? And is the latter functional? In 5.3 I have some stability issues (which I know I should report ;-) ) I also wonder when Applications 15.08 will hit Tumbleweed... Anyway, thanks for your great efforts with Tumbleweed. I like it very much! Stefan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Testing with Unstable
by Noee 03 Sep '15

03 Sep '15

I have some bugs I'd like test for on upstream, both QT5.5 and Plasmashell and I was going to add the 4 repos listed in the wiki for unstable KF5, remove my existing Factory repos (Apps/Extra/KF5), and then "dup". Is this the best way to proceed? I'm on TW x86_64 KF5_Factory right now. @wolfi323, is it true that your "apps" builds pull from unstable? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
