Simply switch to activities was a good advice !!! Everthing is moved now to 4 activities in folderview mode and is identical to my previous virtualdesktop setup. I only mis te eyecandy (the cube animation). The only terrible thing is the widget "activity bar". Its ugly and consumes one third of my taskbar (4 activities), it has a reaction time of about 0.5 sec after multiple clicks. This bad.

[opensuse-factory] Tumbleweed disabling screen blanking when using KVM Switch
by Steven Hess 02 Aug '15

I have a hardware KVM switch that I use to switch between 6 computers. On my openSUSE Tumbleweed system running KDE when I switch away from the Tumbleweed system to another system and return my screen is blanked. I have to power cycle the computer to get a screen back. I have Screen Locking disabled in desktop management I have Screen Saving disabled in desktop power management. I have power saving disabled in desktop power management. I have the following in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ 50-monitor.conf Section "Monitor" Identifier "Dummy" Option "DPMS" "false" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "ServerLayout0" Option "StandbyTime" "0" Option "SuspendTime" "0" Option "OffTime" "0" EndSection With all this I still have this blanking when I switch away from this hardware with my KVM. This is a HP Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 system Desktop with what hardware info tells me is "Intel Q33/Q35/G33 graphics. How can I solve this issue? I have to be able to switch away from this system and return to a normal display. Steven -- ____________ Apply appropriate technology. Use what works without prejudice.

[opensuse-factory] Translation of menus etc.: What's so difficult about it?
by Jay 01 Aug '15

I updated KDE Plasma from 4.x to 5.2.2 today in a 13.2 VM. Just to take a look. The startmenu comprises 13 items. 3(!) of those are still in English and not in German (the default setting for that system). This is the same in almost every section I looked at: a mixture of German and English. I guess this will be similar with other languages. And Plasma 5 has been launched a year ago or so, I think. Now for my probably naive question: what the heck makes it so difficult or time-consuming to translate this stuff? It cannot be the amount of text - this simply cannot be so huge. And translating "Recent documents" (startmenu) into German is not really a challenge. They have done it before. Please give me a clue.
