[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.0 LiveCD doesn't boot on my PC
by Detlef Wiese 27 Jan '08

27 Jan '08

The LiveCD with KDE 4.0 boots well on two other PCs, both 32 bit and somewhat older, but the same CD does not boot on my PC. It doesn't even recognize the CD in the DVD drive and show GRUB but just boots from hdd. Any other CDs for installation, eg OpenSUSE 10.3 32bit or OpenSUSE 10.3 AMD64 have no problems to boot on this PC. Here is some info from 'hwinfo --all' with OpenSUSE 10.3-AMD64, as far as the devices are needed to boot from CD: - Board Info: #2 Manufacturer: "Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd." Product: "M55S-S3" - Processor Info: #4 Socket: "Socket M2" Socket Type: 0x04 (ZIF Socket) Socket Status: Populated Type: 0x03 (CPU) Family: 0x1d (Athlon) Manufacturer: "AMD" Version: "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 3800+" Processor ID: 0x178bfbff00040fb2 Status: 0x01 (Enabled) Voltage: 1.4 V - 47: [...] Hardware Class: cdrom Model: "HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-H10N" Vendor: "HL-DT-ST" Device: "DVDRAM GSA-H10N" Revision: "JL12" Driver: "pata_amd", "sr" Driver Modules: "pata_amd" Device File: /dev/sr0 (/dev/sg0) I cannot install the ISO on a virtual system due to lack of hard disk space :-(( I also wanted to file a bug but never received a confirmation mail from Novell bugzilla. Is there a way to boot from the LiveCD or will there be a more compatible one in near future? Cheers, Detlef -- Wise men don't need advice. Fools don't take it.

[opensuse-kde] What's the state of KDE 4.0 in the live CD?
by Thierry de Coulon 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

I managed to boot the live CD on my notebook, and if this is to show more than some alpha version of KDE 4 I am very, very worried. It looks like the KDE developers went mad and decided to take all the worst ideas of all the other GUIs and put them together. The visual effects are smart - but useless. The panel used to be highly configurable, what I get now is a stupid thing that can't change size, can't hold program icons, can't be folded to free desktop space. Reading the KDE 4 informations, it looks like the plasmoids (didn't find any on the live CD) should lay over the desktop the way Mac OS X does - stupid, you can't use them while you work. On the live CD I can choose widgets, but they come on my desktop, not in whatever has taken the place of kicker. On that bar everything is crowded on the left side once I have removes the "taskbar" applet. So, if this is supposed to show what KDE 4 final will be, I think I'll have to get back to Gentoo to be able to install KDE 3 as long as possible, or even (erk!) start thinking of switching to Gnome.......... I do hope this is just a bad preview and the KDE team did not screw up the best desktop environment I have used - or that some team of capable and intelligent developers will continue the KDE 3 track.

[opensuse-kde] Flash compatibility in KDE4 ?
by Kevin Valko 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Is KDE4 Konq compatible with the latest flash player? I know that patches were pushed out for 3.5.8, so when I updated, I found that the flash capability I had in KDE4 disappeared and I faced the nspluginwrapper 100% CPU problem. I reverted back to the standard flash-plugin with 10.3 (.48?) , but now I still have the same problem, flash refuses to work, it simply sets my CPU spinning. Not sure how to get my flash-capability back in Konq4? Help?

[opensuse-kde] Reporting KDE4 bugs
by Kevin Valko 23 Jan '08

23 Jan '08

Just wondering, since the KDE4 packages for openSUSE 10.x aren't "officially" supported, where is the most appropriate place to file bug reports? Should it be at bugzilla.novell.com or at kde.org? As an example, I've found a quirk where the icons in konq don't display text underneath despite my setting it as a default, I need to reset it each time I launch a KDE4 session. Is that a KDE bug or something I should formally report to openSUSE ? Quirks like that and such.

[opensuse-kde] kde 4 plasma panel
by Allen Carpenter 21 Jan '08

21 Jan '08

I am running kde 4.0 just to get a feel for it and have only one real mystery at this point. The plasma panel seemed to crash and I have not been able to get it back. I am yet to find a particular command to start the panel and wonder if I haven't done something to make it go away. In any case I would appreciate any hints to get it back.

[opensuse-kde] effectively managing many mailing lists with KMail
by Malte Gell 13 Jan '08

13 Jan '08

Hi there, I am using KMail and I'm subscribed to quite a number of mailing lists. I create an own folder for each mailing list that contain all the incoming messages. I'm just curious how other KMail users handle their tons of mailing lists so maybe I can learn something. I'm especially curious, what steps do you do in order to quickly find out if there is a reply to a message you sent to a list? I always create an own folder for each list.
