[opensuse-kde] Call for testing: on-demand package installation
by Lubos Lunak 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hello, in OBS in home:llunak:ksuseinstall there are packages branched from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop that have one experimental feature added: When a needed package is not installed, the user is offered its installation. Currently there is support for debuginfo packages, applications that can open a specific file type if none is installed and multimedia codecs for Amarok. The plan is that this feature makes it into 11.3, so please test and provide feedback. The things I'm especially interested in: - the UI and the workflow could quite possibly be improved (currently it uses Yast modules to save me a lot of work, and it's also done this way because of a certain catch mentioned below). So, imagine you are Joe User the Clueless who's just installed 11.3 and think about how this would or would not work and how it could be improved. The catch here is that this is not only a technical problem but also a legal :(. This can quite easily help with the problem of installing packages that cannot be shipped as a part of openSUSE because of various stupid patent stuff etc. The problem is that we should not even encourage too much usage of such packages. Don't ask what that means exactly, because I don't know, and probably not even lawyers know for sure, but something like "MP3 support is missing, press Yes to install it from Packman" is simply very unlikely to make it past our lawyers. I think the guideline could be that the user has to know it's an extra and that it's not part of openSUSE, and thus has to make at least some effort, not just confirm a dialog. There is a reason why adding community repositories in Yast fetches a list of those from a 3rd party site and knows nothing else than the URL of that list. Yes, this all sucks. - there could be more places where this could help a lot, either by saving the default installation size by not installing packages that most users wouldn't use, or by handling something where such on-demand installation would be helpful to many users. From 11.2 the Nepomuk/Strigi config module comes to mind - we had it disabled by default and some parts were not installed, so enabling it required not only flipping the checkbox but also installing something. I am not going to patch every single place in KDE where an optional package could be possibly missing, but it shouldn't be difficult to handle some mores places where it makes a difference, if you know such cases. -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak(a)suse.cz , l.lunak(a)kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Request to have sysinfo fixed for openSUSE 11.3
by Roman Bysh 06 Apr '10

06 Apr '10

Hi all, I am checking to see if sysinfo will be fixed by the time openSUSE 11.3 is released in July 2010. An update to KDE Platform Version 4.4.2 (KDE 4.4.2) "release 231" was done on openSUSE 11.2 today. It is still broken. The Driver field shows "Unknown" rather than the Nvidia driver version number. OpenSUSE Milestone 4 sysinfo is also broken. Any thoughts? Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] System load viewer not working..
by Daniele 31 Mar '10

31 Mar '10

Hi all, I just upgraded my 11.2 to kde 4.4.1, so far so good.. Only the plasmoid System load viewer does not work, It always shows cpu usage at 100%. In the panel it shows 100% in both the bar and in the tooltip. On the desktop, the cpu bar does not appear but the tooltip still shows 100%. Known bug ? It worths a bugreport ? It's an opensuse or upstream issue ? Thanks. -- *** Linux user # 198661 ---_ ICQ 33500725 *** *** Home http://www.kailed.net *** *** Powered by openSUSE *** -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] factory missing pulseaudio
by Marc Benstein 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

I'm using KKFD and pulseaudio has been missing from the sound system configuration since 4.4.0. Now, my intel (whatever) fails back to " device." on startup. I seem to be failing back to something because everything is working fine after that. I'm using the xine backend. What happened to pulseaudio in the sound system configuration? Pulseaudio is the only why I can get multiple applications to play sounds at the same time.

[opensuse-kde] Fix for bug, but only for KDE SC 4.5 releasing
by Rastislav Krupanský 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi. Fix for the upstream bug 219709 (also reported in bugzilla - 591655) is ready for KDE SC 4.5 releasing. Afaik, openSUSE 11.3 shouldn´t include KDE SC 4.5. So, is any way how could you include this fix for stable release 4.4.x also in final 11.3? It´s nonsense when the fix already exist, but only for 4.5 releasing and won´t be backported. -- S pozdravom / Best regards, Rasto -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] synaptiks crash in systemsettings
by Thomas Leineweber 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hello, when the synaptiks package from KKFD is installed in my 11.2 system, and I start the touchpad configuration within the system-settings, the synaptiks-daemon crashes. This is shown in bko 226005 and http://bitbucket.org/lunar/synaptiks/issue/32 . The last link says that this is fixed within the KDE SVN. I think I have identified the corresponding revision. It is rev 1097582. In order to verify this, I have created a backport of this patch in my obs-project home:leineweb:branches:KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop I have no crashes anymore with this patch, but I'd like someone else to verify this patch before I create a submitreq to fix this in KKFD.
