Did somebody already try kde-4.2.1? Is it okay (safe) to upgrade? -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

I was actually considering to use Qt 4.5rc to fix the issue but did not yet have the time and audacity to do so. How do i change the "desktop activity" that i'm using?

[opensuse-kde] No sound in KDE4 applications
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 05 Mar '09

05 Mar '09

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?
by Robert Graf-Waczenski 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

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
by Marcelo Magno T. Sales 01 Mar '09

01 Mar '09

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?
