[opensuse-kde] State of KDE 4.0.1. in factory - bug reports or not?
- From: Alex <one_way@xxxxxxxxx>
- Date: Wed, 13 Feb 2008 19:35:13 +0100
- Message-id: <200802131935.13406.one_way@xxxxxxxxx>
For a short time I had the impression that KDE 4.0.1 would slowly get usably
and lose that awkward "beta" feeling. However, the last few days the buggy
behaviour is mounting.
And I don't really know whether this is related to KDE, the openSUSE factory
as a whole, or my installation. So I don't know whether and where to file bug
reports.
I tried both the standard Factory packages and the RPMs from KDE-Stable repo
(BTW - what is the exact difference between these two KDE package sources?
The errors are the same).
A short list of the bugs of my KDE4 sessions, as I currently remember them:
1. Konqueror4: Has simply been unable to render any web for me page for weeks.
Sometimes I get a simple web page, e.g. Google, displayed. But 99,9% Konqui4
times out with an "unknown error". Konqueror/KDE3 and Firefox work fine.
2. Desktop icons (from my, thanks to the user orientation of som KDE
developpers, seemingls "deprecated" ~/Desktop-drawer) sometimes "multiply"
over and over again with every new start (hundreds of entries in plasmarc).
Mouse-over-effects of the desktop icons don't fade out once the mouse is no
longer over them.
3. keditbookmarks doesn't display bookmarks, only the bookmark drawers.
4. Switching to a new user session results in the session of the previous user
being locked - and it cannot be unlocked, the password is no longer
recognized.
5. Konsole and Dolphin cannot be started at all (crash window) - be it by
start menu, tray icon or keyboard shortcut. Strange enough, most of the time
I can start these apps e.g. from a KDE3-Konsole window....
6. Plasma crashes pretty often. Sometimes ALT+F2 still works and I can
restart "plasma", sometimes not.
7. Very slow. On an athon X2 4400+ and a Geforce 6200, everything takes just a
bit too long, it simply feels sluggish. E.g. the "show desktop" plasmoid in
the panel takes a few seconds until it shows the desktop. I don't even try to
activate desktop effects (though the proprietary Nvidia driver should have
all the necessary features activated automatically), as they render the
desktop unusable.
8. Both KDE3 and KDE4 seem to feel responsible for removable media in a KDE4
session.
9. Sometimes ~/.kde4 is best removed if KDE4 has messed itself completely
up...
That's as far as I remember currently, there are many more small things.
Question: Bugs, expected behaviour, configuration problem of my setup? Thanks!
