[opensuse-kde] Access to KDE:Community build service project
by Matthias Fehring 16 Feb '09

16 Feb '09

Hello, I would like to have access to the build service project KDE:Community. I have already access to KDE:KDE4:Community since march 2008. There I mainly maintain plasmoid-packages and fix minor issues in the other packages.

[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?
by Richard Bos 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hi, I just discovered today, that a updated compiz package is provided today via the KDE:Factory repository. Is compiz needed for kde? I thought that kwin provides everything we need ;) # zypper rm compiz Loading repository data... Reading installed packages... Resolving package dependencies... The following packages are going to be REMOVED: compiz compiz-branding-openSUSE compiz-fusion-plugins-main compiz-kde compiz-manager compizconfig-settings-manager libcompizconfig python- compizconfig simple-ccsm-kde Would it hurt my installation to remove all the above listed packages? I don't remove compiz, I use kwin and many of the effects that kwin provides nowadays. -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE4 modules that use PAM
by Malte Gell 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

Hi there, I'd like to create a kind of single-sign-on environment with Poldi and my OpenPGP-Card. I'd like to know, which of these components do use PAM (in a correct way...) or do they use a simple username/passwort scheme? -kwallet(manager) -kdm Regards Malte

[opensuse-kde] KDE4 plasma wallpaper plugins?
by todd rme 15 Feb '09

15 Feb '09

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

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. Check your installation." Don't have any idea where to start. All help/suggestions/tips/advice welcomed. 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
by CP Hennessy 13 Feb '09

13 Feb '09

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. Anyone else have this problem, CPH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[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.

[opensuse-kde] Nvidia Drivers/KDE4 - Geforce FX5500
by ianseeks 12 Feb '09

12 Feb '09

HI I've got this board running a driver version 173.14.15 (not available on the nvidia site - latest there is 173.14.12). This driver is completely pants for KDE4, it is slow as molasses going uphill in the snow and artifacts all over the place (its finewith KDE3.5) - does anyone know if this will ever be upgraded to work with KDE4? I've tried all the other beta versions 177.x, 180.x and they all exit the install script saying that this card is not known about and wont be installed. Do ihave to upgrade my card to work with KDE4? 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
