qt3-3.3.6-151.1 triggers QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod()
by Hans-Peter Jansen 18 Aug '06

18 Aug '06

Hi, it's me again, just forgot to mention: many qt processes spit such lines on the console: e.g. eric, qgit: QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod(): index=0, slave=xim QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod(): index=0, slave=xim QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod(): index=0, slave=xim QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod(): index=0, slave=xim QMultiInputContext::changeInputMethod(): index=0, slave=xim resulting from a qDebug statement from line 309 in ./plugins/src/inputmethods/imsw-multi/qmultiinputcontext.cpp This is rather annoying..

Wierd screensaver
by Bob S 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

Hello SuSE KDE people. Several week ago I upgraded my KDE to 3.5.3 on my SuSE 10.0 desktop. Ever since then when the screensaver kicks in I get this weird white screensaver which keeps adding little black squiggly lines. Really ugly. I want to get rid of it. I go into Control Center > Appearance > Screen Saver and set my favorite, test it, and apply it. For the rest of that session my chosen screen saver will come up. When I shut down for the night I save my session. Next time I boot up I get the same weird screen saver back again. Very frustrating and aggravating. Can someone tell me where to go and what config file to change to stop this behavior? Bob S.

kde media daemon really gets on my nerves.
by Mathias Homann 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

Hi, this kde media notifier daemon really gets on my nerves. I'm running 10.0 + build tree kde here, and every time i insert an optical media, or connect an external storage like usb stick or usb harddick, i get BOTH the kde notifier asking me how i want to hable the insertion of an unmounted removable media, AND a konqueror window with the contents of it. looks like subfs / hald automounting is confusing it. any ideas for me? bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C

CDROM, DVD do not show up under My Computer - kded doesn't run
by Basil Chupin 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

Several days ago I lost my Desktop on SuSE 10.1 after the zmd updater had a hernia and didn't complete updates. I got my Desktop back after I installed the latest KDE 3.5.3 RPMs. However, what occurs now is that I get an error message on login, "KDE Daemon - The KDE Crash Handler. The application KDE Daemon (kded) crashed and caused the signal (SIGABRT)". Closing this msg box allows the OS to continue, but..... if I insert a CD or a DVD I do not get the autostart drop-down menu as I did before and the CD or DVD does not appear as an entry under My Computer; in the My Computer menu the entries for /media/floppy, /media/dvd, and /media/dvdram all show that each has a capacity of 32.03GB with 23.04GB free; inserting a flash disc also does not produce and entry under My Computer; even though no entry appears under My Computer for an audio CD or a video DVD both are playable thru either the media player or xine (DVD); going to a terminal and using mc (Midnight Commander), no entries appear for the CD or DVD or the flash disk in the /media directory; trying to run kded from the command line fails; I did something (which I don't remember :-) ) and received the error message, "kde mediamanager not running". I created a new, dummy, user and a login as this new user - and even as root - does not produce this problem: the autostart box appears and My Computer shows the entry for the just insterted CD or DVD or flash disk. The problem only shows up for me as the original user when the system was first installed. I guess that the problem lies with some leftover garbage in my /home to do with /.kde or somewhere else. Does anyone know what I would need to delete (some control file, log file or whatever) so that I can back to the "good ol' times" when I could see the entries for CD, DVD, flash disk? I need to install some software from a CD but as I cannot see its contents using Konqueror or mc I am "grounded" :-( . Any suggestions re this hassle most welcome.

qt3/kdebindings3-python issues from KDE:/KDE3/SUSE_Linux_9.3
by Hans-Peter Jansen 26 Jul '06

26 Jul '06

[Sorry for cross post, but these issues are appropriate to both MLs] Hi, when updating KDE from build service (which happens automatically here with yum), I suffer from some regular issues: - the qt3 db modules, although installed, do no load properly Fix: rebuild qt3-extensions Adrian, could this be automated in build service? Here's a test app to prove my claim: #include <qapplication.h> #include <qsqldatabase.h> #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { QApplication app(argc, argv); QStringList list = QSqlDatabase::drivers(); QStringList::Iterator it = list.begin(); cout << "Available Qt database drivers: "; while( it != list.end() ) { cout << *it << " "; ++it; } cout << endl; return 0; } - kdebindings3-python: doesn't bind qscintilla python binding correctly, which prevents eric from running. This package contains very old sip/PyQt and PyKDE modules. My fix is rolling my own with current packages, but this issue could be circumvented by build-requiring qscintilla for suse versions below 1010. Although buildservice offers KDE 3.5.4 packages, I didn't found it mentioned anywhere else. Is there something like release notes of even a detailed Changelog available somewhere about this [pre]release? TIA, Pete

Files to Trash vs Delete - KDE
by Jim Flanagan 22 Jul '06

22 Jul '06

Hi, While logged into KDE, whenever I seelect a file or dir to Move to Trash, it never goes there, but gets deleted instead. This is in SuSE 10.0, with default KDE 3.4.2 level b. I don't have this problem with my 9.3 setup. I looked in Control Center but could not find a setting that will change this behaviour. Any suggestions welcome. Many thanks, Jim Flanagan

Now, YOU doesnt start anymore. Furthermore, Yast crahes as soon as I try to add a new FTP or as soon as I click any Icon to install or remove ANY Software or any icons in the Software area... :-((( Please help. > > regards > Thomas > >

KDE support status in OpenSuSE
by Philippe Andersson 17 Jul '06

17 Jul '06

Hello, list members, I recently attended a presentation of SLES/SLED 10 by Novell in their Brussels offices. I was impressed by the improvements and duly noted that SLED 10 was based off the OpenSuSE codebase. One thing I couldn't help noticing, though, and that was confirmed to me by the presenter, is the shift in focus firmly away from KDE towards Gnome (to the point the SLES 10, the server edition, is said to not offer KDE at all). I'm a long-time fan of both KDE and SuSE (since version 6.x !) and I always regarded SuSE as having the best KDE integration on the market. I'm still running 9.3 on all my machines (home and work), but would be glad to have a nice upgrade path. My question to you guys (and gals ?) are: - can I expect the same level of integration of KDE in the overall distro as there used to be (are there tradeoffs to choosing KDE instead of sticking with Gnome) ? - can you specify your desktop choice at installation time ? - if you install both desktops, can you still select your desktop at login time (kdm/gdm) ? - if you install both desktops and not all users use the same, do applications installed at a later time get integrated in the menu system on both ? - is ALL of your integration work included in the SLED or is it a matter for Novell to only pick the bits they like ? If this is not the right forum to ask, please kindly point in the right direction. TIA Cheers. Bye. Ph.

how do I change the kde menu items sorting mode (to not sorted)?
by Nicolas Carranza 16 Jul '06

16 Jul '06

Hello! The kde menu (start menu) shows the menu items in alphabetical order and I don't want it sorted... how can I change this behavior (to a non sorted menu items list) so that it reflects the order shown by kmenuedit? (opensuse 10.1). I looked everywhere and I didn't see any way to change it :( Please help me to find how to change this kde menu behavior... Thanks
