[opensuse-kde] Some new packages in your repo's
by Henne Vogelsang 19 Jun '09

19 Jun '09

Hi, you will see shortly some newly generated packages in your repository Education. Those are links to packages in openSUSE:Factory and are disabled for build. We need those to set the devel-project in openSUSE:Factory. You can indentify them in the description. This is just a heads up :) Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.

Hello SuSE people, Was [Selecting a Player] thread. Above is the error message I get when trying to open a video DVD with any of the multimedia players. Mplaver, VLC, Xine, etc. The following is a slightly different message. There is no input plugin available to handle 'media:/sr0' Can anyone give me a clue here? Please?

[opensuse-kde] KMail for MS Windows?
by Malte Gell 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hi there, I'm not nuts, just curious ;-) Have there ever been plans to bring KMail to Windows? Once I read about tough folks who even wanted to bring whole KDE to Windows... On Linux I use KMail and it is the most powerful MUA I ever used, it would be cool to have it under Windows as well. From the GnuPG project, there is a Windows version (GPG4WIN) and they ported "Kleopatra" to Windows, it runs fine on Win32. So it is possible to port KDE apps to Win.

[opensuse-kde] kmail + attachments
by Anders Johansson 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, In the 4.3 alpha series, kmail seems to be totally incapable of saving attachments - it thinks all attachments are encrypted and offers to decrypt them. If I say "no, keep encryption", it crashes. If I say "yes, please decrypt", it will save a 0 byte file. Opening the attachment with an application works, so it's apparently only the save code that's broken. In bugs.kde.org there is a bug report about this, but nothing has happened in it, so my question is: is this not a common bug? Does it work for most people? If it does, then it could be the interaction between kmail and something else installed Anyone?

It's under file associations in the kde settings. > Thanks for replying Mike and sorry for the delay in responding. Yes, I tried that and what Lubos instructed. (kcontrol ->peripherals -> storage media) VLC will open after setting it up like that but I get a message that states "vlc is unable to open the MRL media:/dev/sr0" "check your logs" Don't know where that log might be though. Also tried Mplayer. Set up OK but it dies with no messages. XMMS set up perfectly for the audio CD. Don't know what to think right now. Guess I'll have to keep trying.

[opensuse-kde] Selecting a player
by Bob S 12 Jun '09

Hello SuSE folk, Hopefully somebody here will now how to do this and tell the dense one how to do it. When one inserts a music CD or a movie DVD, Hal ???? brings up a menu on what to do with it. Of course none of the choices are correct. I've tried the configure option but still no luck. Want to play a DVD with Mplayer or VLC, a music CD with XMMS. How do I do this?

[opensuse-kde] openSUSE KDE meeting 20090611
by Lubos Lunak 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

See http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings/ for futher details. == Old Action Items == * add packaging guideline for kde4 packages (wstephenson) ** not done * figure out license repo dialogs and other ways how to notify the users about our bug reports policy (wstephenson) ** not done * flip Nepomuk default to off, and check possible to enable (wstephenson) ** done * put together a howto for cross distribution packaging of kde applications (bittin`) ** unknown * drop in KDE 4.2.4 into KDE:42 (Beineri) ** done * post your favorite screenshots for each topic here [[KDE/Meetings/CommunityWeek2009/DefaultDesktop11_2]] (everyone) == Status Report == * KDE4.3 beta2 in KDE:Factory * NetworkManager-KDE4 work * bug squashing == Dropping/moving of Old KDE3 Applications == * [[KDE/Community/kde3_eval]] * Some KDE3 applications such as Katalog or Knoda are no longer maintained upstream, have bugs reported or do not work without KDE3 desktop * They will be dropped from the distribution * They will be moved from KDE3:KDE to KDE:Community * AI: drop katalog, hk_classes, knoda from 11.2 (llunak) == Upstream Branding == * [https://features.opensuse.org/306473 openFate entry] * [http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/building-brand-together.html Aaron Seigos blog entry] * KDE upstream offers an initiative to create a a visually identifiable F/OSS brand; starting with making default elements of KDE virtual appearance to be customized to suit the needs of distributions and fit with their style. The first simple aim is wallpapers. * There are concerns that this will negatively affect openSUSE branding (e.g. the same wallpaper on any openSUSE desktop, or not fitting with the bootsplash). Also, based on past experience, there are concerns that upstream KDE artists will be overly strict about adherence to their style (e.g. the default decoration on 11.1 having to be renamed 'Ozone'). * We need to find out what openSUSE management thinks about this and the branding for 11.2 * AI: find out about branding, upstream vs openSUSE (wstephenson) * When the branding situation is clear, we will follow up also by discussion and deciding on other look defaults for 11.2 (window decoration, plasma theme, etc.) == KDE4 and Performance == * There is a discussion on -factory about improving performance of openSUSE 11.2 . Are there any plans for KDE4? * There has been much work done on improving KDE4's performance as a whole, only some limited areas. Desktop stability and working features are more important than improving performance. * Also, there are no known good benchmarks for KDE4, so before any performance work can start, it first needs to be more precisely found out what the problems are. * Therefore, people interested in KDE4's performance need to first provide data about what needs to be improved. == Binding Win key to the Application Menu == * Past experience has shown that it is technically very difficult to have a key working as both a global shortcut and a modifier. Therefore, assigning Win key to the menu would mean disabling it as a modifier. == Action Items == * add packaging guideline for kde4 packages (wstephenson) * figure out license repo dialogs and other ways how to notify the users about our bug reports policy (wstephenson) * put together a howto for cross distribution packaging of kde applications (bittin`) * post your favorite screenshots (as proposals for 11.2 defaults) for each topic here [[KDE/Meetings/CommunityWeek2009/DefaultDesktop11_2]] (everyone) * drop katalog, hk_classes, knoda from 11.2 (llunak) * find out about branding, upstream vs openSUSE (wstephenson) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
