Look at the text underneath the toolbar icons - the upper part of the text under all the toolbar icons is cut-off - this happens for all apps run in KDE 4.2.1, even KDE 3.5 applications, such as Gwenview/KDE3. I don't think I will be able to do any better than this, image-hosting/editing-wise. And so, will just give up at this point, if there is no forthcoming solution. I can live with the slight cutting-off of the Toolbar icon text in KDE 4.2.1. Maybe it will be resolved in KDE 4.2.2 / 4.3. > Not sure how they are "cut-off" since I can't really tell from the > JPEG images.

[opensuse-kde] KDE4 Unstable Package update submitted

30 Mar '09

I have submitted just a few minutes ago an update request for the kdebindings4, python-kde4 and ruby-kde4 packages from the KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop repository. These changes will solve the build errors that occurred last weekend with the update to the 945504 snapshot. The above packages will now be based on the 946564 snapshot. Another change is that ruby-kde4 requires now the libsmokenepomuk.so and I have enabled this in the kdebindings4 and ruby-kde4 packages.

[opensuse-kde] Failed build for KDE4 Unstable - Kdebindings

Ruby-kde4 failed due to a missing smokenepomuk library and I am trying to solve this one now. If you agree I will perform a submitreq for the kdebindings4, python-kde4 and ruby-kde4 in order to have all packages build succesfully.

Hi, After an update over the weekend to KDE4.2.1 on openSuSE11.1 I was not able to connect to my wireless network. After some debugging I noticed that my /var/log/NetworkManager contained : NetworkManager: <WARN> get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't get connection secrets: A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets" member "GetSecrets" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings"). This seems to be controlled thru the file /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf and the lines : <deny send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets"/> (this line may not be exactly what others have as I have hacked it a bit to get it working). Anyway the following is what I now have in each of the 'policy' sections of /etc/dbus-1/system.d/knetworkmanager.conf to get my wireless to work: <allow send_destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" send_interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets"/> Am I missing an update somewhere ?

... every time i go back to playing&poking around in KDE 4 i find the following: - one piece of eyecandy that i havent seen before that makes me go "oooh pretty cool" - one function that i am used to have in KDE3 and am kind of dependant on, and that makes me go "oh this is seriously broken" in the last iteration of this i found: - amarok being able to get music from jamendo - kontact / korganizer not showing appointments that span whole days now what is more important? free music or a working calendar? -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] openSUSE KDE meeting 20090318
by Lubos Lunak 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

See http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings/ for futher details. == Old Action Items == * add packaging guideline for kde4 packages (wstephenson) ** WIP * write rpm QA documentation (mrdocs) ** will go to http://en.opensuse.org/Contrib * make a list about the status of KDE3 projects (remur_030) ** WIP * find out what depends on various parts of KDE3 and find solutions (llunak) ** no update * update Screening wiki page and the users bugs page as necessary for what bugs we accept (llunak) ** done * figure out license repo dialogs and other ways how to notify the users about our bugreports policy (llunak) ** WIP * wiki page listing how we modify our packages (llunak) ** http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Modifications ** It might be most effective to spend a day or so going through the main modules and documenting each package's customisations and making sure the patches are annotated with http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Patch_Annotation_Policy. That would be a great 'getting to know our packages' task for anyone who wants to help out. * mail list about bug day (wstephenson) ** will do == Status Report == * updated digikam packages, qtcurve and kile; mono-qt and mono-kde4 should now work * package revision numbers dropped down, probably due to OBS breakage - new packages may not be picked up automatically for some time == Core Teams Proposal == * http://en.opensuse.org/User:Jproseve/CoreMaintainerProposal * mail feedback to jpr(a)novell.com == Bug Day == * a bug day is planned for April 5th when community members can take part in handling bugzilla reports == Packaging Workshop == * we would like community members to help with doing simpler packaging tasks such as version updates of leaf packages (packages on which nothing else depends, i.e. mostly applications) * for this we would like to do a packaging workshop to teach some of the basics * planned to take place together with the bug day (April 5th) == Akademy/GCDS == * call for papers and registration open * we should do openSUSE BoF there == KDE Reference image == * an idea to create a livecd without openSUSE branding was proposed, which would be used by the (upstream) KDE community * KDE Four Live actually is mostly without openSUSE branding, so there is a messaging problem * for a testing unstable upstream KDE version a livecd based on KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE could be created == Action Items == * prepare packaging workshop (wstephenson) * think of content (talks, lightning talks, workshops) that might be interesting at Akademy/GCDS (everyone) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Patch for Lancelot launcher under QT 4.5 and 4.4.4
by todd rme 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

There are serious problems using the Lancelot application launcher for plasma with Qt 4.5 and 4.4.4. For instance, the favorites and applications section do not show anything. It has been patched in trunk for a while, but it will probably be a while before a new version is out. In the meantime, the people at Gentoo have backported the fix to the current Lancelot version and the patch is now available for general use. It would be great if openSUSE also incorporated the patch, since Lancelot is pretty much useless in its current state. You can get more information here: http://ivan.fomentgroup.org/blog/2009/03/09/patch-for-lancelot-and-qt4/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE4-k3b
by russbucket 13 Mar '09

13 Mar '09

opensuse 11.1 (2.6.27.19-3.2-default ), KDE4.2.1 release 103, KDE-K3b (Version 1.60.0) I get the following error on startup. I've looked on WEBPIN and restricted codecs for the below mentioned Mad librarys. Cannot find them. I did the one click install of restricted codecs and all my files are from packman. The K3b/KDE3 does not give me this error. Mp3 Audio Decoder plugin not found. K3b could not load or find the Mp3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from Mp3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include Mp3 support for legal reasons. Solution: To enable Mp3 support, please install the MAD Mp3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD Mp3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad). Some distributions allow installation of Mp3 support via an online update tool (e.g. SuSE's YOU). libmad0 is installed 0.15.1b-1.pm.5-x86_64 k3b codecs are also installed just installed latest version of kde4-k3b from packman, still get error. Do in need to uninstall the KDE3 version first? Any help would be appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE:Factory Tree
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

Hello Mates, last year i began to update my KDE4 to unstable. Then this year the unstable Tree was moved to Factory. Now i'm using the Factory Tree. But i found some Applications (eg kde4-kblogger) that not works with the Factory Tree and yast says: "Downgrade". So i haved the idea to build this kblogger with the Factory Tree, and modified my spec to ">= 4.2.1". I think other Users of the Factory Tree would like to have this app for own using. What is the right place for an Submitrequest? I found in KDE:KDE4:Community an kblogger Version, but only for the stable Tree. So i mean, that we can make an new Repository KDE:KDE4:Community:Factory. Or i can rename my Package to "kde4- kblogger-factory"? What are you meaning? -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Project-Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill Private-Blog: http://saschasbacktrace.blogspot.com DISCLAIMER: Please note that in accordance with the German law on data retention, information on every electronic information exchange with me is retained for a period of six months. http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de http://www.ccc.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] How did I get kdebase4-4.2.1-75.5 ?
by Markus Koßmann 12 Mar '09

12 Mar '09

When looking for updates I noticed that I have kdebase4-4.2.1-75.5 (x86_64) installed but only kdebase4-4.2.1-74.4 is available. So I checked all 5 mirrors for KDE4 factory SUSE-11.1 x86_64 listed on download.opensuse.org. And indeed there is only kdebase4-4.2.1-74.4 available. Was I just lucky to download that version from the now crashed server before it was synced out to the mirrors ? Or is there another problem ? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] No sound in KDE4 applications

Hi, folks, I've installed openSuSE 11.1 and I can't get any sound out of KDE4 applications. The speaker test console app works ok, and the GUI applications which are not part of KDE4 work also. I get sound in smplayer, flash, avidemux, firefox and others, but no sound from Amarok2, dragon player and other KDE4 applications. KDE3 applications play sound ok, I can use Amarok 1.4 with no problems. System notifications from KDE 4 work often, but not always. What may be causing this?

[opensuse-kde] Want my cashew back - desktop folder view problem?

Hi! Sorry if this has been asked before and if i'm not using the correct KDE terms. I'm not a regular poster here but i'm using KDE 4 since the early betas and i'm liking it a lot. Thanks to all who are involved in the KDE project for giving me this huge result of their mostly private and in many cases unpaid work! I'm using KDE 4.2 (updated recently from the factory repository) on openSUSE 11.1 x86_64 and i'm observing the following odd issue: Since quite some time, my desktop no longer reacts on the right mouse button (which means that i can't change the desktop appearance settings such as background image etc.). I *think* that this is caused by my desktop being in "plain folder view" mode. I tried various things to get a real plasma-like desktop again but failed. I deleted all plasma-related configuration files, logged out, logged back in again - no luck. I even created a fresh user and observed the same behavior, so this desktop mode is apparently the openSUSE default one. I have one other account that does not show this behavior, i.e. for this account i do have a real plasma desktop with the cashew in the top right corner. The next thing that i will probably try (if i find the time, which is not very probable) is to copy over all settings from that other user to my standard work user account. Instead i would like to know how to change the desktop of my work user account back to my preferred full mode. (And, as a bonus, i'd like to change the openSUSE default behavior to *not* use this type of desktop mode but to instead create fresh users with a real plasma desktop) Thanks in advance, Robert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kgpg does not recognize dead keys as such in the password dialog

Hi, people The passphrase of the private key which must be used to decrypt some of my encrypted files have accented letters in it, but kgpg in openSuSE 11.1 does not recognize dead keys in the password dialog. If I type "á", for example, it gets "'a" (two asterisks are shown in the passphrase lineedit instead of just one). Is there a way to set it up so that it recognizes dead keys correctly? Or at least is there other application I can use to decrypt the files and/or change the passphrase?
