[opensuse-kde] KMail Crash with Imap Workgroups
by Günther J. Niederwimmer 21 May '08

21 May '08

Hello, on my system 10.3 the last KMail 5.7 - 5.8 is crashing by activating the Workgroup Function with Imap ? Is this a known bug ? -- mit freundlichen Grüssen / best Regards Günther J.

[opensuse-kde] Audio volume OSD is kinda broken.
by Peter J. P-N 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

After the last update the audio volume OSD doesn't work properly for me anymore. Only the kmix adjuster reacts to my keyboard volume wheel. But when I logout and re-login then the OSD is back to normal. I'm little bit tired of having to re-login after every single boot. Is there any permanent fix to this? Any help is much appreciated. Thx Peter -- All the best, Peter J.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.0.66: Good stuff, two questions (Konq plugins and KDED)
by Kevin Valko 01 Apr '08

01 Apr '08

After many repeated attempts at trying to get kde UNSTABLE running on my desktop, the latest packages I've installed run very well. So well, in fact, that I'm going to try and use this as my regular desktop, so kudos to the team. The only real issues I've found that cause stability issues basically involve changing desktop settings, it seems that trying to change appearance or kwin effects pretty much causes a hard crash for Xorg, but given that plasma and related components are in a state of flux, I'm taking that in stride. Two immediate questions, though. a) KDED doesn't seem to start automatically. I need to start it manually from a konsole window. I only noticed this when I realized that websites weren't recognizing my logins, and investigation determined that the cookie service wasn't running, which led to discovering the KDED wasn't running. Is there something particular I should look at in the settings or rc files? This was an upgrade from KDE 4.0.3, so maybe there's something in my old .kde4 folder causing problems? Not sure how to troubleshoot. b) Is there plug-in support for Konq? I don't even have the Browser Plugins option in Settings -> Configure Konqueror. Is this intentional, a work-in-progress, or maybe indirectly related to the problem above? Thanks in advance for any input...

[opensuse-kde] Problem with flash and konqueror in KDE 4.02
by Alfonso Castro 31 Mar '08

31 Mar '08

Hi! I installed KDE 4.02 in OpenSuSE 10.3 x86_64 and I used it regularly. It works almost without problems. However, when I open a html page with flash, konqueror freezes and nspluginviewer uses the 100% of the CPU. Does anyone else have this problem? How can I resolve it? Thanks.

[opensuse-kde] Hello, and a few questions.
by Jayson Rowe 29 Mar '08

29 Mar '08

Good Afternoon to all! My name is Jayson Rowe and I work by day as a Network admin for a software company here in South Carolina USA. I have tried openSUSE off and on for a few years, but pretty much stayed w/ Kubuntu simply because it worked, and I was more familiar with the "Debian way" of doing things. However, since I've gotten the KDE4 itch, I've migrated to openSUSE and I'm loving it! I started off running 10.3 w/ KDE4 from the Build Svc, but I've since in the last week migrated to a Factory install w/ KDE4 from the Unstable build repo. I've gotten used to the SUSE way of system management, and I'm very pleased with the distro, as well as the community! I really want to be a part of the community, but I don't have any coding skills, so I'm looking for opportunities to give back to the project (besides just hanging out in IRC). I missed the last KDE Team meeting on IRC since it was a bit early here in the Eastern United States and I was still at work being a good little cubicle rat :-). I think I could be pretty good at doing some documentation stuff on the Wiki - I actually started both an IT Wiki and a Company wide Wiki at my job, and It's been a huge hit, and I've put hundreds of "How-To" pages up there to help my team-mates at work out if they have to touch a sytem they aren't familiar with, so I'm familiar with Wiki syntax, etc. I'm also interested in being involved in the look and feel of KDE on openSUSE 11 if that's possible. Is there a page out on the wiki somewhere with thoughts/suggestions/plans for how KDE 4 will look in the upcoming release? Are we planning to stick w/ a KDE defualt like what's in the current builds, or are we going to customize it like KDE 3 (which is awesome BTW!). I was looking around on kde-look today and I came across an interesting Plasma theme called Aya (http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Aya+(for+theme+contest)?content=76197) that I thought might be worth looking at. Just a thought and a suggestion, and I look forward to hearing back from someone! Have a great day!

[opensuse-kde] suse 11/kde4: how to define "number kde-windows" and import kwallet-data
by Julien Michielsen 28 Mar '08

28 Mar '08

After I updated my suse to 11, two features changed and I can't get them back like I had them before: The number of kde-windows: Before I had four different windows under KDE, and in my new suse11/kde4 I only got 2. Anyone able to tell me how to get my installation back to 4 windows? Import my password-wallet: Under suse 10.3 I suppose to have had my passwords stored in ~/.kde/share/apps/kwallet/. I tried to open the two files in that directory (julien.kwl and kdewallet.kwl) with my latest version of kdewallet, but I did not succeed to do so. Will kdewallet be able to open the old password-file, and how could I achieve that?

Yes, supposedly that's what I mean ;-) In my own words: KDE-3 "knew" a number of virtual windows (desktop may be a better word) in which you can start applications (ie browser, spreadsheet). and then switch to a different window to work inside a different application to do something quite different. In the present kde4 I can't find the wat to configure the number of desktops/windows to keep open at once. > -- > > Enjoy your time around, > > > Oddball (Now or never...) > > > Besturingssysteem: Linux 2.6.25-rc5-git2-5-default x86_64 > Current user: oddball@AMD64x2-sfn1 > System: openSUSE 11.0 (x86_64) Alpha3 > KDE: 4.00.66 (KDE 4.0.66 >= 20080313) "release 6.1" > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org > For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org > > -W- Julien Michielsen julien(a)michkloo.xs4all.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kdebase (kde4): AudioStreamDescription was not declared in this scope

Hello, Sorry for disturbing you. I'm a big fan of KDE and I'm trying to build KDE 4 with kdesvn-build, but I can't build kdemultimedia or kdebase.

[opensuse-kde] 11.0a3 feedback
by Martin Schlander 20 Mar '08

20 Mar '08

Here are some thoughts after poking around in alpha3 a little bit... * It might be good to have a menu item for launching Dolphin as root. As with super-user Konq, since people will probably get used to Dolphin, they will probably prefer to use Dolphin for root actions also. * KDE4 Konsole and Kopete crash on startup. After a while konsole would start, not sure if I might have installed something or what changed - the crash had been there both on live system, x86 system and x86_64 system.. * Maybe it should be considered to set kde3 apps to having "text under icons" in toolbars to make them look more "integrated" with kde4? * The panel clock applet takes up too much space. It won't allow you to select a different font size. You can however select a smaller font, but that doesn't affect the width of the applet. Highly annoying, especially on my 1024x768 lappy. * Maybe it would be a good idea to have both KDE3 _and_ KDE4 as equal options in the Desktop Selection step for dvd/network installation. With proper descriptions preparing the user for for pros and cons of either choice. Though I think 4.0 is coming around quite well with your tweaks and patches + upstream plasma improvements - can't wait to see 4.0.3 plasma. * Gnash 0.8.2 impressed me a lot in FF. Doesn't seem to work very well with Konq. I think maybe the packager "forgot" to package the Klash part. * Had some minor graphics issues - probably down to using nv driver. The fading when the logout-menu is shown is horribly slow. And the "mouse over effects" of task bar items caused small graphics ooopses. http://suse.linuxin.dk/snapshot1.png * Selecting to logout from kickoff doesn't log you out automagically with a timer countdown, just takes you to the logout menu, where you have to again select to logout manually. * Konq is very flaky on the webbrowsing side I think (slow and strange behaviour, not least in bugzilla :-). Maybe it should be considered making FF the default browser for this release if things don't improve much in 4.0.3 and maybe 4.0.4 if we can have that.. * kepas desktop plasmoid crashing plasma workspace. Filed a bugzilla for that one. * I wanted to test xinerama, krandr and kwin effects, and file a report if krandr continued to crash. But Nvidia blob wouldn't compile. I guess gcc43 and latest nvidia x86_64 blob don't like each other, but not 100% sure what caused the build failure. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE4.x feedback
by Martin Schlander 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Here's some feedback from the use case of me using KDE4.0.2 in stead of KDE3 on 10.3. Killer missing feature (or bug, I'm not sure which): * Plasma not giving me desktop on second screen/tv-out. This in the very least means that I will have to keep KDE3 around as an option to be able to watch video on nice big tv, sitting in nice comfy armchair. Near fatal missing feature: * No kpf. Maybe I can use a real ftp-server to replace it, but... :-( Features that will be sorely missed: * Konq profile menu-applet * system monitor applet * networkmonitor (knemo, knetload) maybe knm stats can do * preview of various filetypes in konq/dolphin (especially PO-files and videos) * adding extra panels * making panels hide until screen border/corner is touched * easy graphical configuration of panel transparency/background * intuitive two click access to kmenuedit * moving launcer icons/plasmoids around in panel * servicemenus (compress/extract, amarok etc.) * adding menus and submenus (e.g. 'Internet') to panel * sysinfo:/ * keyboardfriendliness of Kickoff - especially lacking a shortcut just to open it (Alt+F1). This is not to be considered a rant, just hoping that the information is somehow helpful. Some of the features may be available somewhere and I'm just ign'ant. Naturally there are also a number of things in KDE4.0 I'd miss should I decide to stay on KDE3. My findings after very briefly using kdepim4.1on4.0: * Akregator won't seem to let me view the content of posts, except in "combined view mode" which isn't nice. But last time I tried it was more crashy.. * KMail. Can't seem to access gmail with imap. Not impossible that it's a configuration mistake on my part, but I believe I'm using the same configuration that works with KDE3 KMail. * KNode. Still won't post - now it says "error, leaving in outbox", which is slightly less dramatic than the old error from when I first tested. * Kontact. Doesn't seem to be an option to remove unwanted components from the sidebar on the left. To me it seems that it hardly works well enough to really even test it yet :-/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] update kdevelop for in backports repo
by Robby Stephenson 15 Mar '08

15 Mar '08

Hi, If someone has the chance, I'd like to request that the kdevelop3 package in the KDE Backports repo be updated with the patch from r780036. Without it, none of the build messages show up in the output view window, which is quite inconvenient. It's bug 158236. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158236 http://marc.info/?l=kdevelop-devel&m=120414837607653&w=2 Thanks!

[opensuse-kde] KOrganiser Reminder Daemon
by Alvin 14 Mar '08

14 Mar '08

Hello all, I use Kontact in which I only use the KMail, Addressbook and KNode components. I do not use KOrganiser. Is there a configuration settings somewhere or rc file I can edit that prevents the KOrganiser Reminder Daemon from starting when I start Kontact. Current, I have to quit the tray icon each time I start Kontact.

[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.

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?

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 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

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'?

[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!!!

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.

[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.
