[opensuse-kde] Knode authentication problem.
by russbucket 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

I get an error in knode when I try to access the one newsgroup that I use that requires authentication (alt.os.linux.suse on news server news.nwi.net). Here is the error message. Internal Error Please send a full bug report at http://bugs.kde.org Unexpected server response to MODE READER command: 502 fe.usenet.com: Access denied to your node - support(a)usenet.com May be duplicate or related to bug 171805, 178365 and 167718 which say they are resolved in KDE 4.2.1. It does not let me subscribe to news group or retrieve ant news items. Reported as KDE Bug # 188271 Has anyone experienced this with knode 0.99.1? Thanks!

[opensuse-kde] KDE4 KMail and toolbar icon drop-down lists
by Jan Ritzerfeld 27 Mar '09

27 Mar '09

Hey! I migrated my KDE3 KMail settings to KMail 1.11.1 (KDE 4.2.1 "release 104") by moving the corresponding files to ~/.kde4 and everything seems to work fine now. However, if I press and hold the "Check Mail" icon, there is no drop-down list. The same holds true for the "Reply" and "Forward" icons. Can anyone confirm this problem?

[opensuse-kde] dbus and NetworkManager problems(solved - ish )
by CP Hennessy 23 Mar '09

23 Mar '09

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 ?

[opensuse-kde] Tip: Device notifier and audio cds
by Martin Schlander 22 Mar '09

22 Mar '09

Lately some people have been complaining about KDE4.2 not notifying the user about inserted audio cds and not offering the user some default actions. Here's a little howto that explains how to do it: http://forum.mandriva.com/viewtopic.php?t=105494&highlight= (Disclaimer: I haven't bothered testing it myself) Maybe the devs should consider creating such .desktop files for our packages of kscd, dolphin, k3b and possilby others - unless the upstream developers of cd-relevant applications will do this quickly themselves. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] How to setup midi devices in KDE 4?
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

Hi, In KDE 3.5.x control center, it was possible to configure the midi devices KDE should use to play .MID files. However, I can't find where to setup this in System Settings in KDE 4. So, how to play .MID files in KDE 4? Thanks, Marcelo -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

19 Mar '09

... 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
