[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.12 and Tumbleweed testing requested
by Greg KH 05 Feb '14

05 Feb '14

Hi all, I've imported all of KDE 4.12 into openSUSE:Tumbleweed:Testing, and it seems to mostly build properly, with the exception of some branding packages, which I'm guessing is not really needed: https://build.opensuse.org/project/monitor/openSUSE:Tumbleweed:Testing Anyway, if some of you could test it out and let me know if it works or not, that would be greatly appreciated. And thanks go out to Jiri Slaby for doing the hard work in getting this into Tumbleweed. He got the package lists all correct, I just ran a script :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Akonadi resources disappeared
by Vojtěch Zeisek 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Hi, when I open settings of Akonadi resources, I see there only Google contacts. I used to have there much more resources. When I click to Add, there is only possibility to add another Google contacts. Nothing more. I have several calendars in KOrganizer. They are still working, including syncing. Also IMAP accounts etc. Well, it works, but it is very strange. ;-) Any idea, what could be wrong? I have openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.12.1. There are plenty of Akonadi config files in ~/.kde4/share/config/akonadi* And I see all resources on Agents tab of Akonadi Console. Apparently, all data are there. Really strange. $ rpm -qa | grep akonadi libakonadiprotocolinternals1-1.11.0-137.1.x86_64 akonadi-runtime-1.11.0-137.1.x86_64 akonadi-4.12.1-436.1.x86_64 python-kde4-akonadi-4.12.1-134.1.x86_64 libakonadi4-4.12.1-364.1.x86_64 plasma-addons-akonadi-4.12.1-265.1.x86_64 $ rpm -qa | grep libkg libkgapi2-2-2.0.1-3.1.1.x86_64 libkgeomap1-3.5.0-4.1.x86_64 $ rpm -qa | grep kdelib kdelibs4-branding-openSUSE-13.1-1.1.noarch kdelibs4-core-4.12.1-605.1.x86_64 kdelibs4-4.12.1-605.1.x86_64 Kind regards, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse-kde] NVidia, X11, and KDE Display tools/daemon
by Marc Chamberlin 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hello - I am not sure if this is the right forum, or if there is an appropriate nVidia/Linux forum somewhere else. I posted this to the openSuSE news forum but got no answers. If there is some more appropriate forum, please point me in the right direction. I am running openSuSE12.3 x64 and KDE 4.10.5 "release 1" on a computer that is part of my media center. I recently purchased an EVGA 8400 GS video card because I needed a card with an HDMI port. This card is connected through a Harmon Kardon A/V receiver (which also switches other HDMI sources such as a DirectTV satellite set-top box) to a Westinghouse monitor. In addition to the Westinghouse monitor I am also connecting (directly) a small VESA monitor in a separate room to the EVGA video card. As long as I have the Westinghouse monitor turned on, and the A/V receiver configured to send the HDMI signal from the EVGA card to the Westinghouse monitor, I CAN use the NVIDIA X Server settings tool to configure both of my monitors to display everything as expected. But my problem is this - If I turn the Westinghouse monitor off, or switch it out with the A/V receiver, then when I come back to wanting to display the computer output on the Westinghouse monitor later, I discover that the NVIDIA X Server settings are all lost and nothing will be displayed. This can also happen on the small VESA monitor as well, and when both displays are lost I have to VNC into the system in order to reset up the NVIDIA X Server settings. So how do I persist the NVIDIA settings so that things remain the way I configured the X server? I have told the NVIDIA X Server settings tool to both Apply and Save to X Configuration File but no joy in getting my settings to persist. I have noted that there seems to be a KDE daemon running that seems to detect changes on monitor configurations and asks me if I want to open a KDE Display tool to Automatically or Manually (or not) configure the new display setup. I have tried to play with this tool as well, but so far have not been able to find any joy with it either. In fact the KDE Display setup tool seems to see things slightly different than the way the NVIDIA X Server settings tools sees things, such as monitor placements and refresh rates. That lends to even more confusion and I don't really know if I believe the KDE tool, as the NVIDIA X Server Settings tool seems to reflect reality better when I actually get things configured and working properly. Thoughts? Ideas? I will send the X config file along if that will help, but somehow I think it is set up correctly, just not persistently.

[opensuse-kde] kde ohne akonadi
by Edwin Scharf 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

Ich suche eine KDE-Oberfläche ohne den sinnlosen -für mich- Akonadi + Nepomuk oder ist es Pflicht den Akonadi zu installieren? Ich persönlich sehe kein Grund hierfür. Andere Plattform?, werde überlegen eine andere zu nehmen allein der Freiheit wegen. Macht doch Akonadi/Nepomuk als stand alone.

[opensuse-kde] virtuoso-t causing terrible lags
by Vojtěch Zeisek 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi, I'm generally fine with that Nepomuk/Virtuoso/whatever stuff, but several days ago, I copied about 2500 text files (over 2 GB) to my computer and since then process virtuoso-t is causing several minutes long lags every ~10 minutes, so that system (openSUSE 13.1, KDE 4.12, i7 with 8 threads and 16 GB RAM) is unusable at all. When I launch Activity monitor in KDE (Ctrl+Esc), I don't see big load of any process. Column CPU states „sleeping disc“ for virtuoso-t. What exactly does it mean? htop shows periodic loads of one thread caused by virtuoso-t, Akonadi or Plasma. Similarly iotop. When I suspend or terminate virtuoso-t, computer behaves perfectly. I tried to let it run overnight to let Virtuoso to do its job, but it didn't help. Any idea what to do with it? All the best, Vojtěch -- Vojtěch Zeisek Komunita openSUSE GNU/Linuxu Community of the openSUSE GNU/Linux http://www.opensuse.org/ http://trapa.cz/

[opensuse-kde] minimizing applications to taskbar
by Malte Gell 19 Jan '14

19 Jan '14

Hello, does minimizing running applications to the KDE taskbar (or however this bar is called) change running tasks in any way? As far as I know "Microsoft Windows" takes away CPU time or it does any other change to the running task, but it changes a task somehow when minimized. Does KDE also change a task when you minimize it? I run KDE 4.10.5 Malte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] GTK vs QT on slashdot
by ianseeks 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Fun thread on the above after a talk by Dirk Hohndel of Intel's Open-Source Technology Center has stirred the hornet's nest with a talk at Australia's Linux.Conf.Au (MP4 file) about what he views as the biggest problem with the GTK: he finds dealing with upstream GTK/GNOME developers to be tough, with frequent abuse and flame-wars, with accusations from the developers that "you're doing it wrong." Conversely, he found the Qt development community to be quite the opposite: willing to engage and help, with plenty of application developer documentation and fewer communication problems than with their GTK counterparts." -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
