yast install/remove software and kde 3.3
by Dave O'Reilly 01 Sep '04

01 Sep '04

Hi all, has anyone else noticed that sometimes (about 50% of the time), when you click on the install/remove software module in yast it doesn't start the first time you click it, it doesn't start the second time you click it...you have to click it three times before it starts. I thought I was imagining it at first, but it seems to be a real problem... Can anyone back me up on this one? daveor

kmail maildir question
by Dave O'Reilly 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

Hi all, I have a quick question but I'm not really sure who to ask....I'm developing an application with support for maildir and I was testing it out on my kmail mail folder. Apparently there are some assumptions in the maildir support I was using (javamaildir), specifically: - Folders are called ".FolderName" whereas in my kmail folders: - Folders are called "FolderName" and subfolders are in a separate directory called ".FolderName.directories". So, what I'm wondering is whether a) the javamaildir needs work (which I'm prepared to do), b) kmail uses some non-standard strain of maildir or c) there's lots of wiggle room in the maildir specification If I've mailed to the wrong place can someone let me know where to take my question... thanks in advance, daveor

Remarks after successful Kde-3.3 install : OO and clockapplet.
by Catimimi 30 Aug '04

30 Aug '04

Hi all, It's the first time I write to the list, but I carefully read it. I performed a kde-3.3 install on SuSE 9.1 without any problem. Everything works for me except 2 things. - OO won't start as previously reported, I didn't modify /usr/X11R6/bin/OOo-template, but I launch the app with the command : /opt/OpenOffice.org/program/soffice and I get the same result. - I reported a few releases earlier that the clockpanel applet is broken : it is no longer impossible to set the background color in a digital (non LCD) clock. I sent the following patch which has to be applied to kdebase3 : ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- diff -ru org/kicker/applets/clock/clock.cpp mod/kicker/applets/clock/clock.cpp --- org/kicker/applets/clock/clock.cpp 2004-07-17 19:52:06.000000000 +0200 +++ mod/kicker/applets/clock/clock.cpp 2004-08-29 19:57:26.293488408 +0200 @@ -1026,7 +1026,7 @@ // let's propagate the background brush too if ((!_clock->widget()->paletteBackgroundPixmap() && _clock->widget()->paletteBackgroundColor() == paletteBackgroundColor()) - || paletteBackgroundPixmap()) + || _clock->widget()->paletteBackgroundPixmap()) { _clock->widget()->setBackgroundOrigin(AncestorOrigin); const QPixmap* brush = paletteBackgroundPixmap(); ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ which works very well, but it is not taken into account ! Take it if you are interested in. Michel.

Window-Specific Settings Carried Forward From KDE 3.2
by Randall R Schulz 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

Hi, I've found that KDE 3.3's attempt to carry forward saved window settings from an earlier KDE is inadequate in many cases. I was in the habit of using the old Save Window Settings (form the window manager menu's Advanced sub-menu--I don't know if I have the name exactly right, and of course, I cannot check on what it was, having upgraded to KDE 3.3). Thus I had quite a few of these settings. Fortunately, in the Control Center the settings that were carried forward to KDE 3.3 are all flagged with the string " (KDE3.2)" so they're easy to identify and either fix or discard and re-create. For example, in working with the problems getting OpenOffice.org to launch via the wrapper script in /usr/X11R6/bin, OOo-wrapper, I found that the application window was being confined to the size of the OpenOffice.org splash window! Eradicating the carry-over Window-Specific settings from the Control Center freed OOo from this left-over and allowed me to re-create new settings that reflected the variety of windows in OpenOffice.org.

Konqueror SIGABRT on startup
by Colin Pinkney 29 Aug '04

29 Aug '04

I've got SuSE 9.0 Pro and I just upgraded to the latest KDE 3.3 packages from the SuSE supplementary feed using YAST. I've done this loads before and everything has been fine. Now however, konqueror has started to abort (SIGABRT) when I start it up with the web profile. With the file browsing profile it is fine and the preloaded instance also starts ok. The part where it goes wrong is when its preloading some kparts: konqueror: kparts/factory.cpp:79: virtual QObject* KParts::Factory::createObject(QObject*, const char*, const char*, const QStringList&): Assertion `!parent ||parent->isWidgetType()' failed. I've tried redownloading and reinstalling kdelibs, kdebase and any other kde packages that I could find which contain kparts or konqueror stuff. I've also reinstalled QT just in case something got corrupted, but it hasn't fixed it. The error seems to be pretty low level to me, yet I cannot find any other KDE app that is affected like this. Even Quanta and its web preview work fine and I cannot find anything at bugs.kde.org. Has anyone else seen this? Thanks -- Colin Pinkney http://www.cpinkney.org.uk
