[opensuse-kde] Okular 0.8 printing
by Russ Fineman 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Okular 0.8 KDE 4.2.0 release 102 When printing PDF document and selecting Print-->Options-->Output Settings ->copies = 2, print job only prints one copy. Job IPP report only shows one copy and paper size A4. Print options shows two copies and paper size Letter. I do not know if this is OKULAR or CUPS problem but the OOo writer version of the document prints multiple copies ok and paper size ok. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I will check bug reports later today and if none filed I'll file one. Thanks for any comments. -- Russ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Weekly News: New Section
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hello Weekly News Team, yesterday i called with Jan-Simon. He says me that a new Section is wished from the different Projects. (Idea was from Bryen (suseRocks). So i created an new Template for them. The new Section is called "Projects Corner". The template can be found at: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/ProjectsCorner . The Projects Corner can be published one per month. So the Projects can be publish own Articles, that can't be found at Mailinglists and IRC. I've created the Template 3 Corners: KDE, GNOME and Education. Every Time if an Project has an Article ready, they can post it to the Marketing List. We are publishing this in the Projects Corner. -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

27 Feb '09

Dear openSUSE KDE Users While we prepare the KDE 4.2.1 packages, we have disabled publishing the built packages on the KDE 4.2 repo and its dependencies: KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, KDE:KDE4:Factory:Extra-Apps, and the KDE:KDE4:Community repos that build vs F:D. This means you won't see any updates on those repos for a few days. The planned release date for 4.2.1 is March 4 2009. Will

[opensuse-kde] Where is Kwrite's magnifier?
by Bob S 27 Feb '09

27 Feb '09

Hello SuSE-KDE people. In KDE3.5 kwrite had a nice little magnifier in the tool bar that would change the font size. In 4.1 it is gone. Are the dev's purposely not thinking of sight impaired people? Hope it won't be necessary to make a request to bring back a functionality that was already there.

[opensuse-kde] Default settings..?
by Oddball 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi, The previous update made my desktop icons, and thus links unusable. Trying to get sysinfo back seems to be more difficult as i thought, as i am not able to find it... I need it to keep track of the versions i am using. I was thinking of going back to the default settings, and customize again from there. I forgot what to throw away/rename to rebuild the default desktop, unless somebody knows where sysinfo is 'hidden'. I thought it would be in /usr/share/applications/, or /usr/share/applications/kde4/, but they are not. So, i would not mind a hint ;) -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball (M9.) (Now or never...)

[opensuse-kde] no sound in amarok after yesterday's kde 4.2.0 updates
by Vadym Krevs 26 Feb '09

26 Feb '09

Hi all My openSUSE 11.1 for x86_64 desktop running KDE 4.2.0 from buildservice is configured to use Xine Phonon backend for sound and video. Latest Xine packages from packman are installed. Yesterday I've upgraded to the latest KDE 4.2.0 packages from build service. As a result amarok is refusing to play any soundtracks. Interestingly, pressing "Test" in "Sound and Video Configuration" work fine. If I switch to Gstreamer and do "rcalsasound restart", then amarok is working again. Anyone else has the same problem?

[opensuse-kde] Clicking on links in Kmail

When I click on a link in an e-mail or mailing list message, such as http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html My default browser (Firefox) starts up and loads a cached copy of the page, rather than the online page itself. So the example given above, results in me looking at file:///home/bob/.kde4/cache-barrowhillfarm/krun/6996.0.smart-questions.html I can't remember when this started happening.

[opensuse-kde] KPager & Konqueror
by Michael Comperchio 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

I just installed OpenSUSE 11.1 (downloaded last friday from the OpenSUSE.org website, and allowing all the updates). In KDE 3.5 (the one I'm used to using) it's possible via the pager to have different backgrounds on different desktops. I know it's a silly little thing but it does make it easier for me to remember what I'm doing where, and it looks cooler for everyone I show it to. Is this ever going to appear in KDE 4.x? Another question: I tried to search the forums but just couldn't get a picture that I could accurately reproduce the letter/number combo to search. That's not the question, the question is why doesn't Konqueror play Flash Video? You Tube clips show up, but when I click the play button, I just get a white image where the player was. :( They play fine in Firefox on the same desktop. This is with KDE 4.x and the Konqueror that belongs to 4.x Thanks Michael -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kde3 in factory

Hi, I went ahead and dropped most of kde3 from factory. The runtime needed is still there, but the desktop won't be functional anymore and as such there won't be any patterns offered from factory installs. We should discuss if we want to keep it all in KDE:KDE3 and merge KDE:MIsc and KDE:Community in. Or we could continue the push to Contrib discussion, but first we need people to take care of KDE3.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.2 + Qt 4.5 packages are going to be removed
by Sven Burmeister 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hello everybody! As you can read here: http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=906 KDE 4.2 will not work with Qt 4.5 ever. Hence providing packages of that combination does not make sense. If you are using those packages you have to change your repo, as it was just announced on IRC that the repo will be removed. KDE 4.3 will obviously work with Qt 4.5, yet as it is pre-alpha you should stick to either the KDE:KDE4:STABLE repos or if you are ready to take the risk, the KDE:KDE4:Factory: repos.

[opensuse-kde] Is compiz needed for kde?

Besides the standard 3 wallpapers for KDE 4, image, slideshow, and color, there is also a series of plugins that can give additional types of wallpapers. They are currently a mandelbrot fractal generator, a marble map, a pattern generator, an artifical life plugin called virus, and an animated wallpaper called qedje. You can find them here: http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/playground/base/plasma/wallpapers/ Are there any packages that provide any of these plugins, or any plans to add such packages in the near future? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] lost kdeinit4
by Bob S 13 Feb '09

Hello SuSE people. Last night I did an uprade of KDE 4.2 on 11.1 from the factory repo. About 70 packages. Several apps did not work after that but it was late and I shut the machine down. Tonight I tired to boot up 11.1 and was dropped to the command line. I SU'd to root and did a startx. Machine blinked a couple of times and posted the following message, " Could not start kdeinit4.

Tried to cat some files in var but the fonts are so tiny on the terminal I cannot read them.(I am sight impaired.) (BTW does anybody know how to make the fonts larger on the boot up/terminal screen? 10.3 has nice big ones.) Think anybody associate with the repo will discover the problem and correct it?

[opensuse-kde] KDE4 NetworkManager

Hi, I've been trying to use the KDE4 NetworkManager plasmoid. I'm not sure if I'm using it correctly but when I see the list of possible wireless networks I click on the icon/name of the network. However it never connects :( So I've reverted to using knetworkmanager from KDE3 as this works. The strange this is that if I start NetworkManager after knetworkmanager makes a connection I can see that I'm connected to my network in the plasmoid, but once I disconnect I cannot connect using either knetworkmanager or the plasmoid.

[opensuse-kde] Merging KDE:Community and KDE:KDE4:Community
by Matthias Fehring 12 Feb '09

12 Feb '09

Hello, Adrian Schroeter asked for opinions to merge KDE:Communtiy and KDE:KDE4:Community. See here: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2009-02/msg00119.html My opinion to that: Currently in KDE:Community there are pure Qt3/4 apps and KDE3 apps, KDE:KDE4:Community contains only KDE4 apps. If this projects become merged, than the new project contains many repositories with duplicated packages of native Qt and KDE3 apps, which don't need all the stuff from KDE4 STABLE, UNSTABLE and Factory. Surely, the packager could disable the native Qt apps and the KDE3 apps for the KDE4 STABLE, UNSTABLE and Factory repositories, but than the user nevertheless has to use two repositories. There are some Qt4 apps like QStarDict, that would also or better fit into KDE:KDE4:Community, but that doesn't apply to all packages. (Newer versions of QStarDict integrate an own plasmoid.) I think, the current situation is good for the users and good for the build ressources.

If so, any recommendations? I'm not a gamer so i don't need any monster card. It can be ATI or NVidia but it needs to to have some life in it and not be deprecated as my current one seems to be. thanks Ian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Qt 4.5 with KDE 4.2
by Marc Benstein 09 Feb '09

09 Feb '09

What's the opinion from openSUSE KDE on using Qt 4.5 with KDE 4.2? It seems some of the plasma developers say this is not a good idea. For instance, Sebas says http://vizzzion.org/?blogentry=906 some more complex 4.2 Plasmoids contain workarounds for problems in Qt 4.4 that aren't needed in Qt 4.5. These workarounds are incompatible with Qt 4.5.

[opensuse-kde] [IMPORTANT] Qt 4.5.0 will enter KDE:Qt

Hi, We're currently moving the latest stable Qt 4.4.x from KDE:Qt to KDE:Qt44.

KDE:Qt will switch to Qt 4.5.0 (currently rc1) by next week. If you're building against KDE:Qt and do not want to switch to Qt 4.5, you can either: - switch your build dependency to KDE:Qt44 - remove the build dependency on KDE:Qt, and instead build against openSUSE:11.1:Update KDE:Qt46 has also been created now, but is empty. it will be populated as time permits.

[opensuse-kde] Amarok playing too fast
by Richard Bos 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hi, I have amarok-2.0 installed, but I can't use it as it is playing too fast. And with that I mean really fast, like a 3 minute song is played in 3 seconds. Does somebody recognize this problem, and how this can be solved? # rpm -qa | grep kde4.*amarok kde4-amarok-lang-2.0.1.1-2.1.1 kde4-amarok-2.0.1.1-20.39 # zypper lr | grep -i kde 1 | KDE_KDE4_Factory_Desktop 2 | KDE_KDE4_Factory_Extra-Apps I installed amarok with 'zypper install kde4-amarok' using the repositories above. The rest is kde4 is working fine. -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] updated to KDE: 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0) "release 88.2" : all icons disappeared
by Malte Gell 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

Hello! I updated openSUSE 11.1 to the KDE version named above, it is from the factory repo. When I logged in, I was surprised, all icons i have defined in the system tray were gone, also all icons i defined in an additional bar... Where does KDE 4.2 store these icons? I can't change them with a right click, they are like "locked".

[opensuse-kde] KDE4.1 remove activity
by Hans de Faber 06 Feb '09

06 Feb '09

I had a lot of fun in creating some desktops (activity's), standard and fileview. At the end i would remove some of my experimental desktops. But I can't find a remove desktop or activity feature. > http://userbase.kde.org/Plasma/4.1#How_can_I_add.2Fremove_an_activity.3F > reading the above tells me: Removing an activity: Zoom out from your current desktop view, make sure it's not the current activity (otherwise select another one), then right-click on the activity you want to remove and choose the appropriate option. Note: You must Unlock Widgets (Ctrl+L) before you can remove any activities. But there is no option "remove", thats the problem (with unlocked widgets). even CTRL R doesn't work. If I rightclick on the activity (zoomed in or not) I get a list with the following options: create new > paste clipboard icons > refresh desktop Folderview settings desktop settings. Thats all , no remove activity or remove desktop. Where to find it or how can I remove a desktop/activity ?

[opensuse-kde] First experiences with KDE 4.2
by Stefan Kunze 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

On Tuesday evening i updated to 4.2 on my Opensuse 11.1. I will just note a few experiences. 1. Dependency Issues when updating. Some KDE 4.1.3 packages just will refuse to be replaced and complain but if you look closely you can find a n easy solution to the dependency issues 2. Performance - Holy Cow - after the reboot after updating (logout - login was not enough) - i just couldn't believe my eyes. The System was flying. It is highly reactive and just showed me how slow KDE 4.1 and 3.5 were in comparison. I never really missed the performance before because i never had it but i dont want to go back. Great Job. 3. The visual Impression is pleasing - although i would suggest before update go back to the default theme - because my theme/color combination looked horrible right after the update - because it just did not fit anymore. 4. So far no problems with programms running and the startup Time of programms is greatly reduced on my system. My heartfelt Congratulations to all the KDE Devs - keep up the good work and KDE 4.3 will be close to World Domination.

[opensuse-kde] Message threading gone in KMail 1.11
by Bob Williams 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

I've just upgraded to KDE4.2 Using KMail 1.11, it seems as though message threading has been forgotten. It used to live in the Folder menu. BTW, I like the tabs in the message list pane.

[opensuse-kde] thinkpad volume buttons in 11.1
by Michal Hlavac 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hello, I have latest KDE 4.2 with 11.1 and thinkpad r60. But behavior I am describing is same with KDE 4.1.3. Thinpad volume buttons worked for some time. I don't know what happens when it stopped working. Strange think is that it works when I create new user. But also after some time it crashes. Stop working means there are no alsa volume changes and no "OSD" when I push these buttons. It changes only system volume. thanks, m. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Knode 0.99 (KDE 4.2.0) virtually unusable?
by Malte Gell 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hello! I upgraded openSUSE 11.1 to KDE 4.2.0 release 83.1 with the unstable KDE repo. It comes with knode 0.99.x. Is my observation correct, that knode is very unstable? It often crashes when I try to send a message to a newsgroup, it even crashes when I try to chnage general settings like name or email address... to me it seems hard to be usable at the moment.

[opensuse-kde] Cannot run liquid weather karamba theme on KDE 4.2
by Malte Gell 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi there, I run KDE 4.2 from the factory tree and run superkaramba, though i cannot use the popular Liquid Weather theme, when I want to add it to the desktop I get an error message. I hope I translate it understandably: "SuperKaramba cannot run this theme. One or several components of the Kross scripting architecture is not installed. Please look at the documentation of the theme, which Kross components need to be installed" One other theme is running, but not Liquid Weather, what "Kross components" does this message talk about!?

[opensuse-kde] Which bug reports go upstream?
by Marc Benstein 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

In one of my latest bug reports Lubos Lunak said, "Please report problems with unstable versions upstream unless they're SUSE-specific." This was a report from the Factory, (KDE: 4.1.87 (KDE 4.1.87 (KDE 4.2 >= 20090101)) "release 78.4") which I thought was SUSE specific and not considered exactly UNSTABLE. If Factory is not considered SUSE specific then what is? Is it branding, packaging, patches, and backports only? I use KDE and openSUSE for work around ten hours every single day. I really only have time to report bugs to one location if I even manage to get around to reporting them. Should the beta-customer be deciding what reports go upstream from factory? It seems reasonable to me that all Factory reports should go to bugzilla.novell.com and that all UNSTABLE reports should go to bugs.kde.org. This way Factory can become SUSE specific due to the KDE Team deciding what goes upstream and what gets patched. -- Marc Benstein -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

I use Kontact as I tend to have both Kmail and Knode open at the same time. Using Kontact just makes this easier for me. I'm not sure what the problem could be with Knode when it's run outside of Kontact. Sorry.
