[opensuse-kde] kmail question
by Bob S 04 Mar '08

04 Mar '08

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.
by Oddball 03 Mar '08

03 Mar '08

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)" " john linux:~> plasma(5452): 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

Re: [opensuse-kde] kde4 configurability

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. Regards, Robert. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[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.
