[opensuse-kde] kmail problem sending jpg via gmail
by John King 10 Mar '08

10 Mar '08

Ever since updating kontact via yast this morning I have run into problems sending jpg attachments via the gmail smtp server or to an account on gmail. If sending via the gmail smtp server, the message reaches 99% and then I get an error message: "Sending failed. Could not write file. The message content was not accepted. The server responded ' 5.7.0 Illegal attachment" If sending to the gmail account, the message is bounced and I receive the following error message from my ISP: " SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: host gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [66.249.93.114]: 552 5.7.0 Illegal Attachment p32si8007182ugc.26" I can send the same jpg attachments using thunderbird both via the gmail smtp server and to the gmail account. I have tried with several jpg files with no success with kmail. Other attachments do not seem to be affected - I've sent pdf, tif, png and odt ones with no problems Another thing I have noticed is that if I store the message in the draft folder and click on the jpg attachment to view it (in my default gwenview) the image will not appear. My kmail is listed as: Kmail 1.9.9 (Using KDE 3.5.9 "release 51.2" opensUSE) and I'm running opensuse 10.3. -- regards John johnmking_uk(a)yahoo.co.uk --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Launch program when a MTP device is attached
by Alvin 09 Mar '08

09 Mar '08

Hello all, I have written a MTP file browser of sorts, http://users.eastlink.ca/~alvinbeach/flmtp/, and what I would like to do is have KDE start the program when I attach the device. Is there someone in KDE's settings or perhaps a daemon that I can configure that can do this? I'm thinking of something like how when I attach a USB thumbdrive, a window will open up to the thumbdrive. I'm not sure if this is something that KDE can do or if I need to look into something like udev (I'm guessing)? Has anyone done something like this before? I am using openSUSE 10.3 with KDE 3.5.9 release 51.2. Thanks, Alvin --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Gnash works instead of flashplayer in 8.1

Hi, I found different working advertisements using Gnash. Right mouse brought up a decent menu. Only disturbing is the scrollbars on under- and leftside.

I don't really understand what you mean. Are you talking about the Places view changing, or that there is a problem with the location bar history, or the Bookmarks are missing? Is it the same as http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157954 ? If not, could you give an example of how to reproduce this problem?

[opensuse-kde] konqueror file manager always uses gwenview--for everything!
by Dog Walker 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

SuSe 10.2 When I clicked on the HOME applet in the kicker, I get gwenview. When I click on a directory in the navigation panel of konqeror, I get gwenview. Yesterday, I changed the file association for .jpg files from embedded-viewer to gwenview. All was well. I logged out and shutdown the computer. When I logged in this morning, it had turned into a gwenview file system, or something. gwenview is okay for displaying images, but is totally unresponsive for general file management. -- I have seen the future and I'm not in it! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] How to get history enabled in Dolphin?
by Oddball 07 Mar '08

07 Mar '08

Hi, I am using dolphin with much pleasure, and noticed with one of my users, that networklocations that worked by calling the host directly, appeared in 'places'. I thought: Damn, that is a mighty fine feature! But with the other user this is not happening. Infact, the whole locationbar history is gone, except the latest entrance. If this is a network location, it is actif. How do i enable that these network locations (LAN) appear, and stay on the 'places' tab, or, how to enable history, or Bookmarks in dolphin? -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)

I know people who share one email address and one user account, but one email address and two user accounts is almost outside kmail's competency. It's designed for one linux user account. To do it right you should use fetchmail and an MTA like postfix + sieve to filter the mails into each user's mailbox. I thought you might be able to graunch it inside kmail by combining a Forward To rule with a Set Transport To rule to use local sendmail to forward to the other user without leaving the computer again, but it appears that the Set Transport To and Set Identity rules only work on sent mail (as you would expect).

[opensuse-kde] Which .rc file is responsible for desktopeffects?
by Monkey 9 05 Mar '08

05 Mar '08

Hi, The second user now also has a black desktop. From the first one, i now have removed .kde/share/config. And this user is again accessible, but all the config was gone ofcourse. The second user, i lost this afternoon to a black desktop. But i want to know which file is responsible for the desktop effects, so i can remove only that one to come back to the default settings, without losing all others. Is there an expert in the house, or someone who knows an expert who can tell me which file is responsible for the 'desktop-effects'? My thanks would be crushing :) M9, AKA Oddball. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Experimental kdepim/trunk Packages for KDE 4.0
by Stephan Binner 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

Hello, for the adventurous testers I have created an experimental repository named KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:KDEPIM4.1onKDE4.0 which builds kdepim/trunk snapshot against the KDE 4.0.x Libraries (as built in the KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop repository). Unfortunately kdepim/trunk already requires a Qt 4.4 devel and there are some incompatibilities so some packages have to be rebuilt for openSUSE 10.2 and 10.3, and you will notice minor optical faults (eg text of tabs gets always painted in white color, if it really disturbs you switch to Plastique style). I tested KMail on Factory yesterday and it made a solid impression to me. On the other side KOrganizer tends to crash at start-up with current snapshot. You should really try these packages only with test-data currently or have really good backups for any case!!!

Hello SuSE-KDE people, I would like to forward some emails to another user within kmail. Is it possible? My wife and I are separate users on SuSE 10.3. We share an email address. When I receive a mail trhat she should get or that we should share the info, I would like to forward it her kmail on her separate user space. I know that I could probably do it with postfix or whatever but would like to keep life simple and just use kmail.

[opensuse-kde] Performance of release 17 very good.

Hello, Just wanted to tell that the performance of release 17, realy begins to smoothen. I have had no trouble of refusing apps, and the taskbar configures nicely. Overall feeling is smoothness, and performance is fast. I am allready liking it more than its predessessor ;) I am interested in Backgrounds difference for each desktop, and they 'must' switch, without having to restart desktop. The icons can be placed everywhere, or removed without problem. I would like an option to resize desktop icons, if not asked too much, and a useable LAN Apps-windows stay where i put them, thanks to a goodworking: advanced > special windowsettings, and they all return, except FF. I like to say thnx to all for the hard work: Done a fine job allready ;) (Doesn't mean stop enhancing..!) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (Now or never...)

[opensuse-kde] Plasma crashes on log-in with latest kde4.0.64+ packages
by john＠van-spaandonk.nl 02 Mar '08

02 Mar '08

Hi all, I got and installed the Suse 10.3 live CD with kde 4.01 packages. Then I changed the three relevant KDE repositories in Yast to KDE UNSTABLE, and switched off the old repositories. I left the basis repositories on 10.3 (so no FACTORY) After updating all packages, I got a working installation of KDE4.0.64 (there was only one conflict: kde fourinline, which I did not install) There is one problem: plasma crashes immediately when the desktop is started after I login. Applications work, but I cannot start plasma. I have a feeling that this somehow has to do with my switch to the repositories, and that it should be working. I also posted to the kde bug database using the wizard, perhaps this was not the good thing to do since it might be a Suse-related problem? Anyhow, thanks for any insights. Question: To what extend are the developers interested in my experiences with the KDE4.1 pre packages? I guess it is not interesting to post bug reports since this is a development release? John ps. When I start plasma from the command line I get the following messages: john linux:~> plasma Plasma crashed, attempting to automatically recover KCrash: Application 'plasma' crashing... sock_file=/home/john/.kde/socket-linux/kdeinit4__0 Warning: connect() failed: : No such file or directory KCrash cannot reach kdeinit, launching directly. plasma(5448): Communication problem with "plasma" , it probably crashed.

Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)" " Perhaps the problem is caused by my update from standard kde4.0 pakages to the packages from the UNSTABLE repository? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

The settings don't stick and the next time > you have to do it again. Hi Bob, The text and background colors can be changed via Settings -> Edit Current Profile -> Appearance tab. There are a number of preset color schemes available, including the Black text / White background seen in KDE 3. The text size setting is on the same tab. When you say "No way to change it", I take it that the settings were not where you expected to find them. Could you explain where you tried to look for the settings and didn't find them? I'm not sure whether this problem is a flaw in the UI or just that things have been re-arranged from where they were in KDE 3. The Ctrl++ / Ctrl-- shortcuts for changing text size were intended for temporary text size changes as in web browsers like Firefox. If it is more intuitive for people then it can be made permanent. There are a couple of bug reports open related to this.

[opensuse-kde] kde4 configurability
by Bob S 01 Mar '08

01 Mar '08

Hello KDE4 testers. I have 4.01 installed on 10.3 64 bit. I keep upgrading packages hoping that some configurability problems on the desktop will be resolved. Hmmm...maybe that is the design? It will be less configurable than kde3?? Ex: I cannot create more than the two virtual desktops. Cannot change the wallpaper on one of the two (to distinguish it from the other) without the other being changed. Cannot hide the taskbar (dashboard??) Cannot add apps to the "dashboard". What is that "thingy" up in the right hand corner that zooms in and out and hides the dashboard? Lots of stuff let out of Desktop configuration and othe little niggling things that make kde3.5 so pleasant and easy to use. Is this it? For kde4?? or is a lot of iot going to "catch up" to 3.5. If not, it certainly is not for me. Maybe it is just me and I don't know how to manipulate it properly. If that is true, where do I learn.
