[opensuse-kde] Custom File Icons on KDE4
by Anshul Jain 15 Oct '08

15 Oct '08

Hello all, I'm trying to associate a particular file type with a set of custom file icons that comes along with the application that I've installed. The file type is a .vi (Labview Virtual Instrument) and the vendor provides all the icons during installation. Now...if I create a .vi file under KDE3, the icon gets properly associated with the file and displays a nice icon for it. However on KDE4, I'm unable to associate/set a custom file icon for it. The icons are registered in the system since I can see them while trying to set the icon types for any other file (say .odp, odt etc). Can someone please provide some pointers on this? -Anshul Jain -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Thinks that I miss in KDE 4
by Xavier Callejas 13 Oct '08

13 Oct '08

Hi, Here is my list of what I miss from KDE3 in KDE4: - System tray cannot hide icons (I got the panel full of system tray icons that I would want to be hidden, this is very annoying for me). - KMilo was not ported to KDE4.1.x, I cannot control my Thinkpad buttons any more (even the volumen keys don't work, for me this is ver very important) - KNetworkManager do not work at all, we need something to manage our connectivity the easy as possible, I'm a full laptop user. - I would like more actions options in the popups menu for files in dolphin or konqueror (like 'ark' more integrated, and send by email, ...) Other thinks that need to be implemented: - KDM and kscreensaver to support fingerprints readers. Other courious things: - I cannot drag&drop files from konqueror to dolphin. BTW, I really like very much how the Qt4 applications looks. I'm a openSUSE user (currently openSUSE 11.0). I have tried to use KDE 4 since 4.0, but I think is not ready for me, for now I'm still using KDE3.5.10, but I wainting ansious for KDE 4.2, I hope it brings at least the first 3 points of my list. Just my opinion (althougt I'm a KDE fan full user, and I also recomend KDE to other linux and windows users (but for now I have stopped from recomending until KDE 4.2, we'll see), I personally find superior KDE from GNOME). Thanks for reading. -- Xavier Callejas -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE Issues.
by russbucket 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

I just installed a test system with opensuse 11.0 (2.6.25.16-0.1-pae) with KDE 4.1.2 (KDE 4.1.1(KDE4.1.+20080828)) release 52.2 from the factory repository. I found two items which may be bugs or just not completed yet. 1. on KMENU under system-->terminal there is no longer an option for a super user terminal (KDE 3.5.9-44) has this option. Do I need to report it as bug, is it incomplete or was it removed? 2. Under personal settings I can no longer find where to set up the device icons. It is under Personal_Settings-->desktop-->behavior on 3.5.9. Do I need to report it as bug, is it incomplete or was it removed? Thanks for any help. If this is not the right place to ask, let me know. -- Russ Linux register user 441463 openSUSE 11.0 -- Russ Linux register user 441463 openSUSE 11.0 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE4 konsole really great.
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 11 Oct '08

11 Oct '08

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I want to express my thanks for the way konsole xterm works in KDE4. I really like the way it works. It keeps settings(colors appearance and such) imediately. The only issue I have not been able to find is how to have 2 default settings. 90% of my settings are one way, So I can open my 12-14 icons with it. The problem is the other 2 I open have different sizes and appearences. When I set them up these settings mess with the ones I want as default. I have been unable to find a way to exempt the 2 windows that I want different without effecting the default settings. So I guess what I am asking is how do I setup this so I can have my defaults for any of my main xterm's but only change but not save the ones for the other 2. I sometimes need either one. In KDE3 I have my default saved as needed for my 12-14 windows and change the other 2 after opening. This does not effect the default. Is this possible with KDE4. Thanks I am really liking the new KDE 4. Not the best on my old computers, but on the newer ones it is fantastic. Great Work. - -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb(a)zenez.com> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkjbnlIACgkQVtBjDid73eaZAgCdFfBxR9SouLLji+NHmARgGPkQ txcAniW3FexFKDEd6WchLXm+9aLQftn3 =KlTg -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: [opensuse-kde] KDE kicker response is extremely slow

Marc yes, that helps a lot. looks like you have a media mounted that is hanging and therefore the complete kicker process is blocked. do you have NFS mounts mounted while being offline or something like that? you can figure out which one is hanging by looking at the end of "dmesg" or comparing output of "df" with "cat /proc/mounts". df should hang somewhere if my assumption is right, and you can guess where it hangs by comparing the output with "cat /proc/mounts".. it tests one after the other mount points listed in /proc. let me know if you find it this way, and what the exact circumstances are when this happens, perhaps we can find a workaround for that.

[opensuse-kde] KDE4-Kmail Akonadi based?
by Rick Friedman 08 Oct '08

08 Oct '08

I'd just like to know... is the opensuse kde4-kmail package akonadi based? Or is it simply a port of the earlier KDE3 Kmail? Thanks, Rick -- Rick's Law: What cannot be imagined will be accomplished by a fool.

[opensuse-kde] How to start Akonadi?
by Michal Vyskocil 07 Oct '08

07 Oct '08

Hi, I would like to test the Akonadi in KDE 4.2 in openSUSE, but I was unable to start it. In Akonadi configuration module I have a /usr/sbin/mysqld in a path, but I've got an error during start. There're a lot of 'InnoDB: Check that you do not already have another mysqld process' errors, but I've no mysqld process running (except the one from Akonadi). Has anyone some experiences with Akonadi? Best regards Michal Vyskocil

[opensuse-kde] KDE kicker response is extremely slow
by Marc Chamberlin 06 Oct '08

06 Oct '08

I am experiencing, from time to time, but not always, an extremely slow response from the KDE kicker. If I click on anything in the kicker bar, it can take several minutes for the system to respond to the click. But anything open, shell windows for example, remain quite responsive. Running TOP and vmstat do not show me any processes taking up a lot of cpu time or swapping. I have sifted through log files for Xorg, messages, etc to see if anything is showing up there. Nada... I am running SuSE11.0 and KDE 3.5 on a dual core 64bit Athalon system. Ideas? Thanks in advance for help in diagnosing and fixing this rather annoying problem...
