Guess what? zypper dup forgot to update everything correctly. First off it decided to install kde3 and leave off the toolbar and start button. It did supply the gray line at the bottom. However, there is no menus, and pager. There is the normal desktop Icons. It also defaults X to kde3 now. I have noticed that the toolbar must function because thing I have started end up there and are not seen. kdebase3-3.5.10-22.7 kdebase4-4.2.2-79.25 This is a openSuSE 11.2 system. What parts of KDE3 are missing causing the blank toolbar. -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)windstream.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] New Qt 4.5 problems

by Jörg von Frantzius

Hi, a few days ago, the Qt versions on KDE:/Qt45/openSUSE_11.1/ suddenly changed from a simple 4.5.x to something like "4.5.0+4.5.1.20090424-1.1". Since then, I see a couple of issues here: 1. Kickoff menu only draws a frame with transparent contents 2. run command (Alt+F2) does the same, i.e. draws an empty frame 3. Taskbar thumbnails have a completely transparent background, even though the actual thumbnail paints correctly Switching off compositing does not help. Does anybody else experience the same? KDE is current from /repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSUSE_11.1/ Thanks for any hints, Jörg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] gst-fluendo-mp3 removed from NonOss

by Stephan Kulow

Hi, Unfortunately Fluendo asked us to stop distributing mp3 plugin with openSUSE > 11.1. So I had to remove it frrom NonFree and you will see it disappearing in the repo soon - just so you know.

Just another data point. I think this is exactly what lesspipe does.

[opensuse-factory] 11.2 sound

by Donn Washburn

Hey openSuSE factory; I have version 11.2 and KDE. The problem is why does SuSE make all sound devices fail to work for users? I have tried kradio with root and it works as a user it fails. Skype, amarok and kdetv all fail as a user. I did get amarok using Yast2 rpms to work with amarok-xine and yauap (which fails to hold the volume correctly on startup). I have even set permissions to 666 on /dev/dsp and for Skype a entry in /etc/services. Kradio complains about no dev/radio as a user. Kdetv fails for root and a user. And Yast2 did setup the TV Card and radio. Not to mention xine blows up on a mounted known good non encrypted movie DVD " mount /dev/sr0 /media/sr0 " -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email:" n5xwb(a)windstream.net " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb(a)arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-factory] Czech Packagers Team Meeting minutes 2009-04-21

by Petr Uzel

Czech Packagers Team meeting 2009-04-21 ======================================= Present: anicka, jmatejek, mhrusecky, mkudlvasr, mseben, mvyskocil, nadvornik, pgajdos, prusnak, puzel, sbrabec Minutes: puzel Topics: (1) cfengine update (2) lesspipe default behavior and lesspipe (3) status reports ---- (1) cfengine update anicka has packaged cfengine-3.0.1b5, which has been completely rewritten after 2.x version. Users willing to test it can get the package in home:anicka OBS project. The package will be submitted to Factory as soon as stable version 3.0.1 is out. (2) less default behavior and lesspipe Currently, less uses a preprocessor that makes it easy to view even compressed or binary files such as PDFs. We had a discussion about this behavior - whether the preprocessor should be enabled by default or not. No consensus was made among the team, though. Next, puzel mentioned lesspipe, which could be a good replacement for our own less preprocessor. It is even packaged in Factory, so puzel decided to take maintenance of this package and to try to integrate it to less. (3) status reports jmatejek - removed python-numeric dependency from python-gtk and python-gnome - preparing a split and updated package of python3 - testing and reporting bugs on 11.2 milestone 1 mhrusecky - working on bnc#494061, bnc#496196 mseben - VirtualBox-ose: closed bnc#484333 - VirtualBox doesn't work in factory - VirtualBox-ose: closed bnc#496357 - problem with network performance while yast download packages - VirtualBox-ose: closed bnc#486469 - problem with kmp-default dependencies - VirtualBox-ose: testing virtualbox-additions iso and shared folders - audacity : patch to fix "compile issues with wxGTK configured with stl support" pushed to upstream mvyskocil - fixed bnc#496378: empty keystore in openjdk - implemented osv vc command (part of osc 0.117) - implemented -b|--brief option for osc submitreq show - Contrib: * update of schemik * fixed esmska file list in Contrib * new package aqemu - imported new packages to Factory (BR of junit4): * byaccj * jarjar * gclib pgajdos - TeXmacs update to 1.0.7.2 - alpha2 version of LabPlot 2 (port for KDE4) in home:pgajdos - working on new package nurbana (home:pgajdos:Contrib prusnak - updating Xfce to 4.6.1 in Factory - small fixes in Contrib and Games repos - working on Packaging Guidelines * created git repo: http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/Status#Git_repo * Tom Callaway from Fedora is willing to meet with us at LinuxTag * Mandriva folks are not interested puzel - work on FATE#306631 (SLP support in rsync should be disable able) * prepared a patch, sent upstream for review - update iptables to 1.4.3.2 - close #487629 (libiptc headers are missing) - close #497171 (duplicate) - mcrypt: work on bugs, make native format default - update debhelper to 7.2.8 - take maintainenance of lesspipe, update it to 1.60 - Contrib: update nmzmail to 1.1, prepare other packages - mjpegtools, libquicktime: devel project is now multimedia:libs -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help(a)opensuse.org
