[opensuse-kde] Plasma 5: Configuring Window Shadows

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi All, I just wrote this for two things, first of all great work on Plasma 5, I just switched over to it last night and have really enjoyed it so far! Second, I was wondering if it was possible to change the window shadows in Plasma 5? Back in KDE 4 there was an option in System Settings that let you mess with a bunch of glow and shadow settings (eg. make the shadow darker, lighter, or "bigger"). Apologies if this was discussed before but my search showed nothing on the topic. PS. sent another mail earlier, wasnt subscribed to the mailing list and forgot it was mandatory now. Ignore it when it gets through, sorry! - -- Regards, Uzair Shamim -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJVQEoZAAoJEM66EOTZRH6+jRYQAI2CNRUm+uKbvYd0+K0WlAu8 V88CTS5d8vZDf/Yi/BkbGmhu3fik6yX0YajW96onq1kiemyz92pxGV8cxna2Z43S LfHaumsih0pt42oljwlMv7tkyes8Hx4jtqqOqUFaQy1QvC5ITkKWjDw3HCdcl/IT moHKbpQfMkVxBy3T9vM3feKMorB2Q6N7+P4r/aKRJ06RZCBwICXNGyWWVgAajx6m nloKDR+KWkHzPezc9MxiRL0m+rsOSWW32VzCh1lLYN6BLMDcILPyojfWPU+jrNu0 hAlxjF2+SAxsNBk+xfudUaM9USkHuRM0+SXgQkfHoVjsiI8mZX61CXe6gHl6Z2c3 3JY9Xp74+sN9qa+B0h5vXRPAq7jxYjpKtHY9L1ifMa2ysZp2nBYFyTe6lqsNUpDc OqYEESWeblDUVylQyFc3guGasFMvIK/XoeiVE2dI51RiC7Rp2nMOXiJ8bjxkVlp+ je+5x+Ibk7wv+0R3G3WDSfCkiAH8tavheIz8ZKR4eJ/5f+HT0d4Z2Vu+bHWGxpDD lCgg8H2faKtxOzQvmGQwIc4Mt+s8WtrhbiUlyM9De0DySKk4d+nkx/qM7W274XGW HyBLdz2iHVzWPy+7c+pyX4WZ/2HUFv9e7iwjHdwSrhCrSa/DsoBCqBW1ehsqLCu+ N2LGrNPEUr6mAwlaXFAo =9Cvi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Changes in the KDE repositories due to the upcoming move to Plasma 5 as default desktop in Tumbleweed
by Raymond Wooninck 30 Apr '15

30 Apr '15

As part of the preparations for the move to Plasma 5 as the new default desktop in Tumbleweed, we also had a look at the available KDE repositories on openSUSE Build Service. In the last few days we have been reorganizing them to reflect the new situation which will follow the new upstream structure (Frameworks, Plasma and Applications). We have updated our wiki page to reflect the new setup, which will become in effect sometime tomorrow (1 May). All repo's are already there, but some cleanup might be required. The main changes are in the KDE:Unstable repositories where we moved to a similtar setup as the main repositories (Frameworks/Plasma, Applications, Extra). A number of packages will therefor move from KDE:Unstable:Extra to KDE:Unstable:Applications. Also here the suffix "5" for KDE Applications packages will be removed (e.g. kate5 -> kate). Users that are using currently Framework based applications from KDE:Unstable:Extra are adviced to use zypper dup when moving to the new KDE:Applications. If you find any breakage caused by this switch, please let us know so that we can fix those. The wiki page for the openSUSE KDE repositories can be found at: https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:KDE_repositories -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] [TW] xrandr starting up disregarded or overridden
by Felix Miata 29 Apr '15

29 Apr '15

This is an excerpt from an executable file (currently 177 lines) I use called "setup" in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/: #xrandr --dpi 108 --output VGA-0 --mode 1440x900 # ati analog #xrandr --dpi 108 --output VGA1 --mode 1440x900 # intel analog #xrandr --dpi 108 --output VGA-1 --mode 1440x900 # nouveau analog I uncomment whichever of the lines it contains I wish Xorg to use. In ~/.kde4/share/config/kdedrc is autoload=false under [Module-kscreen], which works as expected in KDE4, and it's symlinked to ~/.config/kdedrc. In a fresh installation of TW20150425 with K5, the applicable uncommented line is either being overridden, or disregarded, both by the KDM3 greeter if I boot into graphical, and by startx /usr/bin/startkde when I boot into multi-user or start a Plasma session from KDM3. If I boot into multi-user and just run startx, I get expected results from xrandr in an IceWM session, which is also the results I get from startx /usr/bin/twm and from startx /usr/bin/startkde booted to 13.2 (KDE4), 13.1 (KDE4), Rawhide (K5) and F22 (K5). If instead of using setup I configure Xorg as desired through /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/, then KDM3 and Plasma both produce expected results. Is this a new expectation, or breakage, and if breakage, breakage where? Are scripts in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/ no longer being run by default? FWIW, I always used to use xorg.conf* to configure X, and prefer that method, but the xrandr option has been forced for some configurations by the absence of bug fixes upstream: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39949 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77321 -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] Availability KDE Application releases (specifically for openSUSE 13.2 users)
by Raymond Wooninck 27 Apr '15

27 Apr '15

Dear openSUSE KDE User, As indicated some time ago, the initial decision was not to release the KDE Application releases as of version 15.04 for any openSUSE target except Tumbleweed. KDE Applications 15.04 would made available for Tumbleweed users together with the switch of the default KDE desktop to Plasma 5. Based on this initial message we got some requests to make these releases also available for openSUSE 13.2 users as that they also already have the necessary KDE Frameworks and Plasma 5 releases through the update repositories. The team discussed the topic again and I can now announce that we will start building the Frameworks based applications also for openSUSE 13.2. What does this mean concretely ? Newer packages that will be build against KDE Frameworks, will not have a different package name. e.g. Kate will remain Kate. If the KDE4 based version of a package will need to remain, then this package will have a 4 as suffix. In most cases if both packages are provided, then they will conflict with eachother. e.g. installing kate4 will automatically remove kate and vice versa. The updates will be provided through two repositories 1) Official KDE Application releases will be made available through a seperate repository KDE:Applications, which is build for openSUSE 13.2 and openSUSE Factory/Tumbleweed. It is not necessary for Tumbleweed users to activate this repository as updates will come with regular Tumbleweed snapshots. The link for this repo for openSUSE 13.2 is http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Applications/openSUSE_13.2/ 2) Other KDE/Qt based packages (not part of KDE Applications) will be made available through the existing KDE:Extra repository. As soon as a package becomes Frameworks-based, the old kdelibs 4.x based one will be renamed with suffix 4 and then built for older openSUSE (< 13.2) releases. The newer package should only be activated for openSUSE 13.2 and Tumbleweed. What should you be aware off ? The environment where Frameworks based applications are running inside a KDE4 desktop is untested. Also upstream is only testing how KDE4 based applications are behaving inside a Plasma 5 desktop. Although we are not expecting issues, one can never be sure. If it becomes clear that this is causing an unstable desktop for openSUSE 13.2 users, then we would revert the changes for openSUSE 13.2 and remain there with pure KDE4 applications.

[opensuse-kde] Plasma 5 and System Load Viewer widget
by Stanislav Baiduzhyi 23 Apr '15

23 Apr '15

I cannot find the original email, but someone wrote already that System Load Viewer should work in current Plasma 5 (installed from [1]. So, what is the trick to make it work? I've added the widget to the panel (panel is on the left side of the screen), to the very bottom, and all I see are 3 empty bars. Will greatly appreciate any recommendations and workarounds to make it work, or diagnose the issue.

[opensuse-kde][tw] /etc/sysconfig = kdm/plasma -> startx -> icewm

Why doesn't startx start plasma instead of IceWM with /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm" and /etc/sysconfig/windowmanager DEFAULT_WM="kde-plasma" on a fresh TW installation? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
