But it is impossible to create new activity or change to other one. There is still only a "Main" predefined activity without possibility of change. I additionally installed missing kactivities4 package according advice from openSUSE forum after fresh installation of openSUSE Factory. Then it was possible to change or create activities. According me there is missing dependency and kactivities4 package is not installed during installation automatically. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual Results: Necessity of additional installation of kactivities4 package -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

KDE runs fine without the kactivities4 package installed, however we have created the following dependencies: when installing kdebase4-workspace, this package automatically will recommend to install kactivities4. However this is not a hard requirement and people can decide not to install it. If however the software management (YaST or zypper) has been setup that recommends should not be installed, then of course the above dependency will not work. But again this setup of the software management tools is NOT default. I am not sure which of the above situations is/was applicable for you, but as indicated there is a soft dependency between the two packages. It would be hard to satisfy all people and to keep a certain freedom of choices. However in our opinion the above methodology is the closest one to give people the freedom to choice. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

He directly asked me to report this bug, because it is also a bug according him. Non-functioning of activity in KDE is missing one of base features of this environment. So please, to consult further action with him. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
