[opensuse-kde] kdesu and yast2 sw_single no longer work under kde4.2.88

Hi, I don't get a root password prompt for any menu item set to run as root anymore and yast2 sw_single won't run under kde4 although it does run under kde3. The root prompt doesn't work under kde3 or 4. I'm running up to date factory. Can anybody give me a clue as to what I can file a bug against or what I can check.

[opensuse-kde] Cross-desktop KDE packages building - macros
by Lubos Lunak 30 Jun '09

30 Jun '09

Hello, a couple of IRC meetings back, we talked about advertising the buildservice as a tool for upstream KDE developers to package their applications. As a part of this, I have packaged a simple KDE app in home:llunak:kde (taskbarswitch) that with the same .spec file builds also for Fedora and Mandriva (where same .spec file means there is no conditional stuff per distribution). So it looks like it shouldn't be that difficult to make it simple for most kde-apps kind of apps, where their developers would just create one .spec and get it built for all RPM distros, instead of adjusting it per-distro (which, of course, would be an option too, but that's more complicated). The trickery can be done in macros and in project config (right now 'osc meta prjconf home:llunak:kde'). Does this make sense, or do you think it would be better to have something that would create the .spec with per-distro code? In order to continue, I'd like to do some changes and I have some questions. - The first question is: What is %kde4_runtime_requires actually good for? I would like to know the exact purpose, since it doesn't quite make sense to me. As far as I understand it, it is a minimal KDE version requirement, but this way it is specified by the repository, instead by the application itself. Which doesn't make sense to me for most apps, if I build an app with 4.2, it should work with 4.3 too. - In order to avoid people copy&pasting the KDE macros all around, I would like to split them out of kde4-filesystem into kde4-macros. Then people wanting to use the unified way could just link this package to their KDE repository. This would provide an easy way to adjust the macros as necessary. I don't see any big problem here, except for the mentioned %kde4_runtime_requires needing the KDE version of the repository. - And then, of course, there is Debian/Kubuntu with a completely different packaging system :(. I'm still investigating, but it looks like packaging something for both rpm and deb is a big mess. Is here somebody who has any experience with packaging debs, preferably in the buildservice? -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer -------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak(a)suse.cz , l.lunak(a)kde.org Lihovarska 1060/12 tel: +420 284 084 672 190 00 Prague 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE42 repository vs KDE3 repository

Hey! I am using the follwoing repositories: "KDE 4.2.x Packages (openSUSE_11.1)"[0], and "Latest KDE 3 environment for released SUSE distributions (openSUSE_11.1)"[1] Since some days or weeks, I get conflicts when I try to update all "old" packages, e.g., via YaST2. Repository [1] offers python-qt-3.18-1.2.i586 that requires at least python-sip-4.8. However, python-kde4-4.2.4-5.7.i586 from repository [0] requires python-sip-4.7.

[opensuse-kde] Borked KDE 4.3 beta environment
by Chris Gow 24 Jun '09

24 Jun '09

Hi: I've somehow managed to completely borked my KDE environment this past few weeks. I've been running with the KDE factory repository and ever since it switched to the 4.3 beta, I've had a really busted environment: * No desktop (just the checkered background) * No systray apps * program menu displays in various places I haven't been overly concerned with the above although it kind of limits any sort of beta testing. However, I'm not sure what happened to cause this issue, and although I've made attempts to fix it, I have had no luck. I believe I originally manually added the various factory repos, so that is most likely the root of my problem, but when I've tried using the various OneClick installers available on opensuse, it looks like they crash: yast gets to about 50% and immediately exits. Any ideas on what the problem is and how I would go around fixing it? thanks -- chris -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE:/KDE4:/Factory: and YaST wants to delete some stuff

Hello, I use http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openS… and as usual I started YaST and selected update all packages. What makes me wonder is, that YasT suggests to delete these packages and to downgrade them to old 4.1.3 version... For example: kde4-kdm installed 4.2.90-273.1 available 4.1.3-10.3.7 But, I do not want to downgrade kde4-kdm to 4.1.3, actually I have disabled the KDE:stable repo in YaST, I just want to use KDE 4.3 beta from Factory... YaST also wants to downgrade kde4-konqueror: kde4-konqueror installed: 4.2.90-91.1 available: 4.1.3-3.8.9 kdebase4 instead gets updated: installed: 4.2.90-91.1 available 4.2.90-92.3 Thanx for any hints.

[opensuse-kde] KMail for MS Windows?

Hi there, I'm not nuts, just curious ;-) Have there ever been plans to bring KMail to Windows? Once I read about tough folks who even wanted to bring whole KDE to Windows... On Linux I use KMail and it is the most powerful MUA I ever used, it would be cool to have it under Windows as well. From the GnuPG project, there is a Windows version (GPG4WIN) and they ported "Kleopatra" to Windows, it runs fine on Win32. So it is possible to port KDE apps to Win.

[opensuse-kde] kmail + attachments
by Anders Johansson 15 Jun '09

15 Jun '09

Hi, In the 4.3 alpha series, kmail seems to be totally incapable of saving attachments - it thinks all attachments are encrypted and offers to decrypt them. If I say "no, keep encryption", it crashes. If I say "yes, please decrypt", it will save a 0 byte file. Opening the attachment with an application works, so it's apparently only the save code that's broken. In bugs.kde.org there is a bug report about this, but nothing has happened in it, so my question is: is this not a common bug? Does it work for most people? If it does, then it could be the interaction between kmail and something else installed Anyone?

Of course none of the choices are correct. I've tried the configure option but still no luck. Want to play a DVD with Mplayer or VLC, a music CD with XMMS. How do I do this?

[opensuse-kde] openSUSE KDE meeting 20090611
by Lubos Lunak 11 Jun '09

11 Jun '09

See http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings/ for futher details. == Old Action Items == * add packaging guideline for kde4 packages (wstephenson) ** not done * figure out license repo dialogs and other ways how to notify the users about our bug reports policy (wstephenson) ** not done * flip Nepomuk default to off, and check possible to enable (wstephenson) ** done * put together a howto for cross distribution packaging of kde applications (bittin`) ** unknown * drop in KDE 4.2.4 into KDE:42 (Beineri) ** done * post your favorite screenshots for each topic here [[KDE/Meetings/CommunityWeek2009/DefaultDesktop11_2]] (everyone) == Status Report == * KDE4.3 beta2 in KDE:Factory * NetworkManager-KDE4 work * bug squashing == Dropping/moving of Old KDE3 Applications == * [[KDE/Community/kde3_eval]] * Some KDE3 applications such as Katalog or Knoda are no longer maintained upstream, have bugs reported or do not work without KDE3 desktop * They will be dropped from the distribution * They will be moved from KDE3:KDE to KDE:Community * AI: drop katalog, hk_classes, knoda from 11.2 (llunak) == Upstream Branding == * [https://features.opensuse.org/306473 openFate entry] * [http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2009/06/building-brand-together.html Aaron Seigos blog entry] * KDE upstream offers an initiative to create a a visually identifiable F/OSS brand; starting with making default elements of KDE virtual appearance to be customized to suit the needs of distributions and fit with their style. The first simple aim is wallpapers. * There are concerns that this will negatively affect openSUSE branding (e.g. the same wallpaper on any openSUSE desktop, or not fitting with the bootsplash). Also, based on past experience, there are concerns that upstream KDE artists will be overly strict about adherence to their style (e.g. the default decoration on 11.1 having to be renamed 'Ozone'). * We need to find out what openSUSE management thinks about this and the branding for 11.2 * AI: find out about branding, upstream vs openSUSE (wstephenson) * When the branding situation is clear, we will follow up also by discussion and deciding on other look defaults for 11.2 (window decoration, plasma theme, etc.) == KDE4 and Performance == * There is a discussion on -factory about improving performance of openSUSE 11.2 . Are there any plans for KDE4? * There has been much work done on improving KDE4's performance as a whole, only some limited areas. Desktop stability and working features are more important than improving performance. * Also, there are no known good benchmarks for KDE4, so before any performance work can start, it first needs to be more precisely found out what the problems are. * Therefore, people interested in KDE4's performance need to first provide data about what needs to be improved. == Binding Win key to the Application Menu == * Past experience has shown that it is technically very difficult to have a key working as both a global shortcut and a modifier. Therefore, assigning Win key to the menu would mean disabling it as a modifier. == Action Items == * add packaging guideline for kde4 packages (wstephenson) * figure out license repo dialogs and other ways how to notify the users about our bug reports policy (wstephenson) * put together a howto for cross distribution packaging of kde applications (bittin`) * post your favorite screenshots (as proposals for 11.2 defaults) for each topic here [[KDE/Meetings/CommunityWeek2009/DefaultDesktop11_2]] (everyone) * drop katalog, hk_classes, knoda from 11.2 (llunak) * find out about branding, upstream vs openSUSE (wstephenson) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

There is a private kde packagers' list, private because security issues are sometimes discussed there before public disclosure.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.2 community plasmoids do not show up
by Jan Ritzerfeld 05 Jun '09

05 Jun '09

Hey! Yesterday, I updated the plasmoids from the repository "KDE4 community maintained KDE 4.x / Qt 4.x packages (openSUSE_11.1_KDE_42)"[0]. Since then, KDE does not load them anymore but tells me "Could not find requested component: {yaWP,kbirthdayapplet,systemloadviewer}". I know that there were dependency issues due to the KDE42 repository freeze. Thus, I hope that this gets fixed automatically after the plasmoids from [0] are rebuilt when the KDE42 is updated again. However, there might be another cause for this...

[opensuse-kde] Bug squashing session wrap up
by Lubos Lunak 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Hello, a bit late but anyway. My query for kde-maintainers bugreports now shows about 330 bugreports, compared to more than 500 (I don't remember exactly) bugreports before the community week. This helps a lot! Thanks to all who participated. It still could use more though. I've updated the instructions on http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/BugSquashing - if you'd still like to help, find a a range marked OPEN on http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/BugSquashing/Bugreports , edit the page to assign it to you and it's yours to handle. If we run out of the ranges on the page, I can add more. There is no accompanying IRC session for this or any time limitation. It should be suitable for those moments of sitting in front of the computer, being bored and not knowing what to do ;). If there are any problems, see the wiki pages or ask in #opensuse-kde.

Hello to all, this is a question from suse-programming-de. I tried out kdevelop (KDE4) and was astonished about a automatic spellchecker.
