[opensuse-factory] KDE 4 apps from 3
by Volker Kuhlmann 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Someone mentioned that KDE 3 apps would be considered for porting to 4 if requested, though I can't find the email now. It looks to me as if there are still quite a few panel applets missing. I'd really like the system monitor with the 3 vertical bars, because it shows at a glance what the system is up to. Also the panel clock is much better than the new one, the seconds display I'm missing most. konsole is missing the nifty icon at the bottom left which opened a new konsole session of choice, now it seems only be possible to open a a shell session. Is saving a session on logout not implemented yet, dropped, or have I been blind?

[opensuse-factory] [status report] openSUSE distribution, week 11
by Stephan Kulow 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

Hi, We're busy preparing Alpha3, there were several updates after Alpha2plus: - kernel 2.6.25-rc5 - kde 4.0.2 - gimp 2.4.5 (that I miscredited to be in alpha2plus) And I expect tons of more of these updates short before deadline. Right now we have ~60 build failures as a gcc patch created some regressions and the new kernel needs some adoptions in the kernel modules. This will be the first time in a long, long time that we'll do the alpha deadline on a friday and not _after_ the weekend. I'm not yet sure if this is good or bad - we see next week.

[opensuse-factory] KDE/konqeuror/qt 4 font handling
by Volker Kuhlmann 13 Mar '08

13 Mar '08

I'm not so happy with the font handling when printing from konqueror (it's probably similar from any KDE app). In 3 the output was diabolical rubbish with font outlines traced, converted to 300dpi bitmap(!) fonts and without a chance to copy the text out for pdf output. Now the pdf output nicely includes vector fonts, but it's always of type CID TrueType (as per pdffonts), even when I configure konqueror eg with NimbusSansL - which is a type 1 font without a truetype version I can see. I'd prefer if adequate support was still given to postscript fonts and postscript documents, as a general direction for an opensuse system.

Hello, off-topic: On Mar 11 16:59 Alexis Guéganno wrote (shortened): > Indeed, i've seen a user who couldn't install openSUSE... installation > failed each time, for unknown reasons... and one day he turned off the > printer. He uses openSUSE 10.3 each day, now. Was it a USB printer or a parallel port printer or something strange e.g. a SCSI printer or was it connected via whatever special adapter? Which exact printer model? Where exactly did the installation fail (e.g. at the very beginning while loading the kernel or at the 2nd stage while printer setup)? What were the last visible dialogs/messages before it fails? Please file a bug report (component "Printing") so that I know about such problems and that the problem report is not lost. Of course more than likely I can only close it as WONTFIX or WORKSFORME because I cannot reproduce it or I don't have an idea what the actual reason is or whatever - but the crucial point is that we know at least about our user's problems "out there".
