12.1 RC1-KDE has a very good performance and responsiveness in my Asus EeePC 1015PEM with Intel graphics card and only 1GB of RAM. > 2011/10/26 Will Stephenson <wstephenson(a)suse.de>: >> On Wednesday 26 Oct 2011 18:28:45 Martin Schlander wrote: >>> Onsdag den 26. oktober 2011 10:24:44 skrev Malvern Star: >>> > Has anybody else noticed a huge drop in desktop responsiveness under >>> > 12.1RC1 as opposed to Beta1?

[opensuse-kde] Tabs disappeared from kmail2
by Flavio Castelli 26 Oct '11

Myabe I'm totally blind and I cannot find them... I'm using kmail-4.7.2-2.1.x86_64. I found only this [1] old bug on kde's bugzilla, which has been fixed on 2010.

[opensuse-kde] Dup report to 12.1 – Nepomuk fix worth backporting
by Sven Burmeister 25 Oct '11

25 Oct '11

Hey everybody! Was the branch update already done or will KDE 4.7.3 be included in 12.1 anyway? If so there could be another fix worth backporting: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=263730 It can cause your home partition to get filled-up and thus lead to funny behaviour including data-loss. "Only eating RAM" would be http://trueg.wordpress.com/2011/10/24/memory-leaks- in-nepomuk-nah/ but unfortunately he does not point to any commit to backport. I dupped my 11.4 + KDF yesterday to 12.1 (from factory repos) + KDF and relating KDE there was no issue. So a "good job" from me to everybody involved. The only thing I thought was a bug was that kded continously asked for access to kwallet. Yet that was no bug but pnm importing all my connections and asking for access to kwallet for each of them. So for people using "allow only once" this might look strange but will go away. :) Oh – and I had to remove a lot of packages manually because they do not exist anymore in opensuse, including kdeaccessibility4 which was left over in version 4.6.95. So at some point in KDF there was a package name change which did not remove the old package. Having a look at my package list I see kdeaccessibility3 available from oss, kdeaccessibility4-debugsource (4.7.2) from debug and KDF and kaccessible (4.7.2) from KDF and oss. So kaccessible probably lacks the hint that it replaces kaccessibility4 and the debugsource package should have the same package name as kaccessible should it not?

Re: [opensuse-kde] Bluetooth infrastructure broken in 12.1, possible fix from upstream.
by Rafael Belmonte 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

> Did this problem only start in RC1? The problem I am talking about (which is described in mentioned bugs), was present in Milestones previous to 12.1 Beta1, the problem wasn't in 12.1 Beta1 at least for my computer (don't ask me why), and it is here again in 12.1 RC1. Curiously, this problem is neither present in Kubuntu (don't ask me why neither). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Why are databases listed under Administrative Tools?
by Křištof Želechovski 23 Oct '11

23 Oct '11

I was trying to view database systems available for openSUSE using the Add/Remove Programs applet and I was astonished to find them among Administrative Tools. I think they deserve their own group.

[opensuse-kde] Patch for greeter

I just noticed that the greeter references Novell instead SUSE. Since I don't know in which repository this file lives, I'm sending it this way. Could somebody apply this - and add the text for translation, please?

by Will Stephenson 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

This thread is to collect issues arising around Kontact from upgrading 11.4 to 12.1 with its newer KDEPIM. I just tried 11.4 -> KDF (4.7.2) in a VM with my 4 imap accounts and got * Duplicate Personal Contacts * Broken Personal Calendar resource * Broken Local Folders resource (the one that causes kmail to assert on startup...)

[opensuse-kde] python-qt4 fails to build for SLE_11_SP1 when I add "BuildRequires: phonon-devel" to the spec file
by Joseph Mulloy 17 Oct '11

17 Oct '11

In order to run OpenLP I had to rebuild python-qt4 with phonon-devel installed. I figured out how to do this on OBS by adding "BuildRequires: phonon-devel" to the spec file. I submitted a bug report to try to get this added to the packaged shipped in 12.1. The developer who is handling my bug gave me instructions on how to branch the package and submit my packages back through OBS. I've made the change and it build for 11.3, 11.4 and Factory but it fails for SLE_11_SP1. I'm assuming that I shouldn't submit a change that causes this breakage. I can't figure out what the problem is. I don't know if there is some other dependency I need to add to the spec file or if there is an error in the source code somewhere. This is where the OBS project is located: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Ajdmulloy%3Abranches%… This is the bug I submitted: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=655152 This is the error I get /usr/src/packages/BUILD/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.5/phonon/sipphononPhononVideoWidget.cpp: In function 'PyObject* meth_Phonon_VideoWidget_snapshot(PyObject*, PyObject*)': /usr/src/packages/BUILD/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.5/phonon/sipphononPhononVideoWidget.cpp:1724: error: 'class Phonon::VideoWidget' has no member named 'snapshot' make[1]: *** [sipphononPhononVideoWidget.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/packages/BUILD/PyQt-x11-gpl-4.8.5/phonon' make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.390 (%build) RPM build errors: cannot open Pubkeys index using db3 - No such file or directory (2) Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.390 (%build) [ 775.759097] Power down. Any help in debugging this would be appreciated as I can't figure out what the problem is.
