[opensuse-kde] Firefox integration with KWallet
by Guillermo Adrián Molina 14 Feb '10

14 Feb '10

Hi there, I've been using OpenSuse 11.2 for some time now, I am very pleased with its Firefox-KDE integration. I've written a Firefox extension to complement that integration. The extension enable Firefox to use kwallet as password store, instead of using internal password manager. I would be pleased if you take a look at it, test it make suggestions. The addon is hold at: https://addons.mozilla.org/us-US/firefox/addon/49357/ Thanks, Guille _________________________________________________________________ A tu BlackBerry le falta Messenger.

[opensuse-kde] Faster KDE:Qt/KKFD rebuilds
by Lubos Lunak 06 Jan '10

06 Jan '10

Ho ho ho, since everybody working on KDE packaging have been good this year, you have been given faster rebuilds in KDE repos. Happy Christmas :). As some might have noticed when updating a KDE repo to a newer KDE SC version, it takes quite a while for it to rebuild, especially if Qt or kdelibs are triggered for rebuild. In fact, originally it looked roughly like this ('X' in KMail for non-proportional fonts is helpful; times are just rough measures and depend on OBS's mood, but they should match at least relatively): libqt4 1:00 (+1:00) -> libqt4-devel-doc 1:50 (+0:50) -> qt-creator 2:00 (+0:10) -> automoc4, soprano, strigi, phonon 2:20 (+0:20) -> kdelibs4 3:40 (+1:20) -> kdepimlibs4 4:00(+0:20) -> kdebase4-workspace 5:00 (+1:00) -> kdesdk4 5:30 (+0:30) -> kdevplatform 5:50 (+0:20) -> python-kde4 6:35 (+0:45) -> kdeutils4 6:55 (+0:20) -> kdepim4-runtime 5:20 (+0:20) -> kdepim4 6:30 (+1:10) -> kdegraphics4 4:05 (+0:25) -> koffice2 5:55 (+1:50) Yes, that's it, rebuilding whole of KKFD takes 5 hours if you get lucky, 7 hours if libqt4 needs a rebuild. The winner is kdeutils4. Well, actually it's not so bad anymore, as there were many unnecessary dependencies on kdebase4-workspace-devel and I've already removed them. So kdesdk4 builds directly after kdepimlibs4 and kdeutils4 is down to 6 hours, but still the winner. But the kdevplatform dependency on kdesdk4 was on kompare, and that's been "temporarily" disabled upstream for 3 months. So now kdeutils4 is at 5:30, matching kdepim4 and some other packages have a real dependency on kdebase4- workspace-devel and so they are stuck to be built after 5 hours. Another problem was a long KDE:Qt rebuild, and the aggregate in KKFD seems to stop being blocked only after all of KDE:Qt has been rebuilt (even packages that are actually not aggregated, for whatever reason). The most interesting problem in KDE:Qt is that the Qt libraries themselves, including WebKit, get rebuilt in every libqt4* package. Since things like qt- declarative had a dependency on libqt4-devel-doc, they needed to wait for double Qt rebuild. However, most of the libqt4-devel-doc dependencies were unnecessary, so I have removed them. Actually, the table above is not correct for the very initial state, this is after this fix, it originally took even longer. The table is for the current state, as qt-creator still has a build requirement on libqt4-devel-doc because of help generation tools. Now, that's all that has been already fixed in the repos. But I have more improvements under home:llunak:branches that I haven't committed to KDE:Qt/KKFD yet, as I'd like to get those okayed first. Changes in KDE:Qt should be moving the help generation tools from libqt4- devel-doc to libqt4-devel, where they IMO belong anyway, if apps need them for building documentation during their build. Second change should be making sure that Qt libs and WebKit are built only once. The trick is to install libqt4- devel (and libQtWebKit-devel) and symlinking them to the build dir's bin/ and lib/. It seems to work just fine. I additionally split off libqt4-webkit, in order to have libqt4-devel ready sooner for some further packages that don't require WebKit, although I'm not entirely sure it's worth it (most stuff requires WebKit anyway, and the aggregate blocks KKFD anyway). Changes in KKFD should be using final builds (i.e. KDE4_ENABLE_FINAL=1) for kdelibs4, kdepimlibs4 and kdebase4-workspace. These 3 are the biggest bottlenecks (maybe with python-kde4, but I think kdebindings4 is already troublesome enough). It needed some fixes (it seems nobody has been using that lately, maybe cmake's stupid dependency handling is to blame), but now it builds fine. Hopefully it's not a big deal to keep it that way (it's mostly just kde4_no_enable_final(<whatever>) in the subdir's CMakeLists.txt or just disabling it altogether for the package). Do you think it'd be worth it? We used to build KDE3 this way too. With all these changes, the final table should look like this: libqt4 0:30 (+0:30) -> libqt4-webkit 1:00 (+0:30) -> libqt4-devel-doc 1:20 (+0:20) -> automoc4, soprano, strigi, phonon 1:40 (+0:20) -> kdelibs4 2:00 (+0:20) -> kdepimlibs4 2:10 (+0:10) -> kdebase4-workspace 2:30 (+0:20) -> kdevplatform 2:30 (+0:20) -> python-kde4 3:15 (+0:45) -> kdeutils4 3:35 (+0:20) -> kdepim4-runtime 2:30 (+0:20) -> kdepim4 3:40 (+1:10) -> kdegraphics4 2:25 (+0:25) -> koffice2 4:15 (+1:50) The winner is now koffice2 with 4:15 hours, with no obvious dependency to improve, but it doesn't get updated together with KDE SC, so koffice2 doesn't matter that much. The rest should be under 4 hours total, 2:30 in KKFD alone.

[opensuse-kde] Question on the Skulpture Theme
by Anshul Jain 04 Jan '10

04 Jan '10

Hi all, I'm facing some strange issues with the Skulpture theme on Opensuse 11.2. When I set the Kwin theme to Skulpture type, it gives back borders (http://www.imageping.com/show.php/60782_Skulpture.png.html) Notice the black borders on the Kontact Kwin window and also some black borders on the Dolphin window. I have special effects disabled. Now, if I turn on special effects, I do not see the borders! I've seen this problem with Chakra/Arch Linux...but strangely Mandriva 2010.0 doesn't have this problem. I'm using KDE 4.3.4 from the _43 repo. Can someone help?

[opensuse-kde] KDE SC 4.3.4 in KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop; soon in 11.2 online update
by Will Stephenson 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

The KDE and maintenance teams are taking the unprecedented step of a point release update to KDE SC 4.3.4 in our 'STABLE' repository and from then as an online update to 11.2. Normally we don't do version updates in online updates, preferring to backport patches to the released version. I'll be straight with you; the impetus for doing this comes from putting 4.3.4 on an enterprise product and we don't want to maintain two 4.3 codebases, but we're confident that this is a good thing for openSUSE users, because: - 4.3.4 has 2 months' more upstream bugfixing in it, compared to 4.3.1. This includes a major Plasma performance bug fix. - 4.3.4 is the final planned release in the KDE 4.3 series and will therefore have the longest shelf life. It will be easier to apply future fixes from the KDE 4.3 branch to 4.3.4 packages than to 4.3.1 packages. - having 4.3.4 on an enterprise product gives us additional reasons (customers' money!) to fix bugs in it, benefitting openSUSE users too. - We are aware that any version update has the potential to include regressions, but: - 4.3.4 is a point release with only bugfixes and translation updates - we've seen a lot of use of the KDE:43 repo from 11.2 users without a lot more bugs - other distributions have already shipped 4.3.2 and are going to push point releases as online updates as well We have consulted the openSUSE maintenance team, who were in favour of this move. The online update will take place after a period of testing 4.3.4 on 11.2 in KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop. The sole drawback to this that we're aware of is that this will be a large online update download; we hope you will agree the benefits will be worth it. Season's greetings!

Hi, my text highlighting has stopped working in all kde apps can somebody tell me where to look without having to lose all my other configuration? I'm running 11.2 x86_64 and I updated to kde-4.3.4 recently. I don't know if that is when the highlighting disappeared because I normally suspend to disk so it could be. I've returned my system to stock 11.2 but that hasn't helped neither has any text editor settings.

Wrong. that gave me a root kicker that wouldn't open anything. (Geez...how dumb can you get ?) So I did a killall as root and got rid of it. Then I switched back to user and did the "kicker" command. I saw the kicker flash up for a second and then it hid itself again. The mouse to the bottom of the page won't bring it up. So something is corrupted in that kicker config I think. I searched around and found kickerrc and changed autostart hide from true to false restartedd X and it was back. Then I set autohide again and it continues to work. Only the Lord knows why these things happen. Thanks for putting me onthe right track.

All did not work most of them are based on the use of the gnome gconf2 tool which does not work in my fresh KDE environment.

Hi all I need your help regarding themses in KDE 4. Yesteday I installed a couple of themses from kde-look.org but it wasn't a huge success. So today I'm trying to go back to default KDE 4 look but something must be broken. 1) 5 out of 7 icons in the Leave menu are all the same. 2) Can't install new icons, styes or splash screens using the Get new theme function. I find and select a nice theme, click install, system download and then nothing happens. 3) The icon Window in Appereance is almost not existing - only a small dot is visible. 4) When trying to install new XDM themse the system loads for few seconds and nothing happends. 5) When I try to choose already installed XDM theme and later logout the new themse is not used. I've tried to remove .kde4 and .kde folders and also delete the entire user but nothing of above changes. Your help would be very appriciated.

When I got a different crash on my system when trying to set my display using 'system settings - display', I noticed in the report that there were several references to qt. When I checked in yast what was being used, I noticed that there was a mismatch of versions, presumably from my pre-4.3.4 STABLE setup. I therefore went through all mentions of qt in yast and set them to use the versions from the STABLE repository. And, lo, I could switch to month-view again and leave it in place when closing kontact down (fingers crossed). Switching the versions also sorted out the crash when trying to use systemsettings-display. -- 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] Default browser in 11.3
by Markus 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

Hi there. Since the default browser is a recurring topic with every openSUSE release, I decided to create a small feature matrix (from a KDE point of view) at http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Ideas/11.3#Web_Browser to make a more informed decision once the time comes to agree on one browser. Please update the feature matrix with other KDE-releated features I might have missed and when a feature status changes (eg. Chromium becoming compatible with KDE's GTK theme engine wrapper).

[opensuse-kde] session kde3 option gone in kdm after upgrade
by Richard Bos 13 Dec '09

13 Dec '09

Hi, I recently upgraded kde from 4.2.3 to 4.3.4, this was quite successful. but today I'm running this config for the first time since the upgrade on a remote system (like a thin client), and it is just not nice. BTW this is on openSUSE-11.1. Hence i wanted to switch to KDE3 and see how that behaves on this system (perhaps the network changed, but I don't think so). But the option to select KDE3 is gone. How can I add KDE3 as session to back the KDE login screen? Does anybody noticed that KDE-4.3.4 is not nice to be use on a remote desktop (like a thin client). I don't know when this happened between 4.2.3 and 4.3.4 as have not installed the in between releases. Perhaps QT is to blame? -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Because chroot is used, this BUILD_ROOT="/" is the root of chroot, so you'll only harm everything under the chroot (and who cares). If your chroot is /var/tmp/build-openSUSE_11.1 and you chroot to it, than with BUILD_ROOT="/" everything under /var/tmp/build-openSUSE_11.1 will be gone (if you use 'rm -rf').

[opensuse-kde] opensuse 11.2: KDE3 repository, kmail

Hi, I know that the kde3 repo is not officially maintained anymore. Nevertheless I hope someone could repair kdepim3-3.5.10-67.3.src.rpm where kmail crashs reproducible every time when sending an email. I think the included kdepim3-gcc4.4.patch is buggy because Ive got kmail working again recompiling it without that patch and explicitly using gcc-4.3. So maybe it would be an easy task for someone to remove that patch and add gcc-43 to the build requirements on opensuse 11.2. (gcc-43 is shipped with the default installation source) cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kde-4.2.x to 4.3.4 package name mapping on openSUSE-11.1
by Richard Bos 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hello opensuse kde users, I'm trying to determine how to upgrade my kde-4.2.3 version (repo KDE4:....:Factory) from some time ago, to kde-4.3.4. It looks like that some packages have been given new names. I think that e.g. kde4-konqueror is now called konqueror. To determine the new names for the packages that are not updated using "zyp up" on my system, is someone willing to run the attached script on his or her kde-4.3.4 system? The script does a query for kde4 related files in /usr/bin for which my 'zyp up' does not find an alternative. I might use 'zyp dup', but than it is still not very predictable what is going to happen. With the output of the rpm query, I would feel more comfortable to upgrade. Thanks in advance! An example of the output is: kde4-kwin - /usr/bin/kwin_rules_dialog: kde4-kwin kde4-kwordquiz - /usr/bin/kwordquiz: kde4-kwordquiz kde4-kwrite - /usr/bin/kwrite: kde4-kwrite kde4-marble - /usr/bin/geodatatest: kde4-marble In this case the 4.2.x (left) and 4.3.4 (right) are the same of course. -- Richard

[opensuse-kde] FYI: Backwards compatibility tweaks in KKFD
by Lubos Lunak 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Hello, I have done two changes in KKFD: Package kdebase4-runtime now has an explicit provides for older versions. This is because of the previous strict dependency on kdebase4-runtime version, making it impossible to satisfy dependencies of a package built for 4.3.x when upgrading kdebase4-runtime etc. to 4.4.x. I have removed the obsolete and provides of libknotification-item-1-1 from kdelibs4, as kdelibs4 actually does not provide that. This allows leaving the 4.3.x version installed. This means the package won't be ever automatically removed, but it's small, and again 4.3.x packages may need it. I however kept kdelibs4 obsoleting the -devel package. Both of these 4.3.x->4.4.x upgrade problems can be easily seen with current KKFD which still provides some 4.3.x versions because of the python-kde4 failure. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak(a)suse.cz , l.lunak(a)kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] please remove plasma-addons scim dependency
by todd rme 08 Dec '09

08 Dec '09

Could someone please remove the scim dependency of plasma-addons in factory? I can understand making plasma-addons-scim available if someone wants it, but I think requiring it, and by extension scim, is an extremely bad idea. Considering scim automatically turns itself on upon installation, cannot be turned off in any sane manner, has the annoying bar that covers other windows by default, can extremely easily trigger language changes accidentally without warning and without any obvious way to change it back, and has the terrible habit of randomly blocking keyboard keys for no apparent reason, I don't think making it a mandatory dependency of a common and practically necessary kde package like plasma-addons is at all a good choice.
