[opensuse-kde] Three fixes from 4.1 branch
by Raymond 07 Jan '09

07 Jan '09

Hi. Recently two KNotes crasher bugs were fixed, <http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153916> (knotes crash after searching on notes) and <http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=153244> (knotes crashes closing alarm dialog) [2]. The SVN revisions for the 4.1 branch are <http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=898242> and <http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=898244>, respectively. I've personally tested a local build with the former fix, but not the latter. Additionally, a long-standing krdb bug where the libraryPath line in the user's Trolltech.conf would get filled up with crap was also fixed. There's no bug number, but the two SVN revisions are <http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=882293> and <http://websvn.kde.org/?view=rev&revision=882363>. The first fixes the bug itself, and the second adds a one-time cleanup operation to deal with the accumulated cruft. I have not yet personally tested this one, either. I'll probably be doing OBS branch builds of kdebase4-workspace and kdepim4 (off of KDE:KDE4:STABLE) later, and if desired, I can do an osc submit from there. -- Thanks, Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] transition of KDE3 habits to KDE4
by Malte Gell 06 Jan '09

06 Jan '09

Hello! I finally did it, I had the ***** to install openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.1. Gosh, that's so much different from KDE3... Ok, does KDE4 "kicker" (or how is it called now?) support "tiles", I mean, those formerly found under /opt/kde3/share/apps/kicker/tiles ? And, do the Konqueror profiles still work (=kfmclient openProfile mybeautifulfolderview in KDE3)? thanx Malte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] update of particular program vs. whole KDE update
by Malte Gell 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hello, I've heard within the next week there maybe a new KDE minor version to appear, which also comes with a new version of Kopete that fixes a webcam issue. This is interesting for me, cause I suffer from this bug. So, do I have to get the whole new KDE package or will SUSE offer updates for single programs like Kopete for SUSE 11.1?

Can konqueror as a web browser be run to log what headers it sends/receives? How would a web browser request the url specified in a <img>? -- I have seen the future and I'm not in it! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] one login, two totally different KDE desktops, how?
by Malte Gell 02 Jan '09

02 Jan '09

Hi there, I'd like to achieve the followin, after logging in to my KDE desktop I want to have two different desktops, each with different icons for example. Currently you can set 2 different wallpapers for two different desktops, but there still is only one $HOME/Desktop folder. Is there a way to get a second "$HOME/Desktop2" that can be altred totally different from desktop1 (=$HOME/Desktop)? I hope I was able to express what I want in an understandable way ;-) Malte using openSUSE 10.3 with KDE 3.5 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] opensuse 11.1 keyboard mapping and xmodmap issues
by Andy Harrison 30 Dec '08

30 Dec '08

I have a sun ultra 40 workstation and I use the sun type 7 keyboard. Previously I was using opensuse 10.2 with KDE 3.5, but recently did a fresh install of 11.1 and started using KDE 4.1. Now I can no longer map all of the extra keys available on the type 7 keyboard. The only keys that will map successfully are the audio control keys (keycodes 160, 174, and 176) and the Help key (keycode 245). I'm using the same .Xmodmap file I was using on 10.2. I confirmed with xev that the keycode numbers I'm using are correct. I confirmed in /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB that the keysymnames I'm using are correct. To no avail. For example, if I try to map the sleep/suspend key (keycode 222) to the Lock Session function as I had it in 10.2, it doesn't even acknowledge that I'm pressing the key, though I can assign it to another key such as Pause. My .Xmodmap file: $ grep '^[^\!]' ~/.Xmodmap keycode 245 = XF86Launch0 keycode 232 = SunStop keycode 133 = SunAgain keycode 134 = SunProps keycode 135 = SunUndo keycode 140 = SunFront keycode 248 = SunCopy keycode 191 = SunOpen keycode 192 = SunPaste keycode 122 = SunFind keycode 188 = SunCut keycode 160 = XF86AudioMute keycode 174 = XF86AudioLowerVolume keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume keycode 222 = XF86ScreenSaver If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate it. -- Andy Harrison public key: 0x67518262 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Kmail and some undesireable changes
by jfweber＠gilweber.com 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

HI, I lurk more often than I take part in the discussions This Kmail item I think I have been trying to come to terms w/ at least one level back... What do I have to do, or set, or leave burnt offerings for in order to keep kmail from devouring my older messages. I keep messages from years past because there are often a few things that keep on cropping up ;-/ . I try to be a good netizen and I would forward the older messages to the current user who asked for help. Now, if I can hear themessage I know my update borked something. But I have noticed that when you click on any of the older messages, they immediately replace the text that had been in my message lists for a year or more, it would just disappear. To any developer who might wonder, I update often. And as far as I can tell, it is deleting files w/o asking me... That is a real upset to the plan. And it seems not to have a setting that one could change, @ least I'm muddling thru" I'd be happy if anyone could just tell me how to set and where to set things. Now all I can do is wait.. Happiness is an underrated setting. -- j "Its like a song I can hear playing right in my ear That I cant sing I cant help listening" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Monitor DPMS
by Per Osbäck 29 Dec '08

29 Dec '08

Hi, I am having some problem with DPMS in KDE4.x (both 4.1 and 4.2) I thought this was a driver problem related to my old radeon r200 card, but I recently left my computer at the login screen (kdm) and noticed that the monitor was in standby mode. So it looks like this is a user setting. I have enabled and disabled the different settings in "system settings" but they don't seem to make any difference.. Anyone know anything about this? What is strange is that my Xorg.0.log says: (**) Option "dpms" (**) RADEON(0): DPMS enabled (II) RADEON(0): DPMS capabilities: Off Thats why I thought it was a driver issue...but then kdm shouldn't be able to use it... regards, Per -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kde wm dual head problems
by Michael 28 Dec '08

28 Dec '08

Using suse 11.0 (kde 3.5.9-65.2) I'm experiencing window focus and missing window frame problems on the second display when using kde. The mouse can cut and paste into applications on either display. The problems do not happen when using suse 10.2 (kde 3.5.5-102.11). They also do not happen when using twm under suse 11.0. I've experienced these problems both with and without the ati driver. The displays are running with Xinerama off and Clone off. Any thoughts on what could be causing this?

[opensuse-kde] Maturity of KDE4
by Malte Gell 27 Dec '08

27 Dec '08

Hi there, how mature has KDE4 become currently? I'm especially concerned about PIM, I use Kontakt a lot, especially KMail, the Usenet client, calendar and stuff. Is this already fully available with KDE4? What about transition of KMail email accounts, does this work smoothly? Would KMail of KDE4 continue to use KMail3 email folder?
