[opensuse-kde] Kickoff menu executes systemsettings with parameters
by Johannes Obermayr 19 Aug '09

19 Aug '09

Hi, as a German openSuSE user and upstream KDE translator I recognized, that the execution of "Systemeinstellungen" (="System Settings") from Kickoff menu causes that the "Systemeinstellungen" window ist called "Personal Settings". I searched in upstream source code for the string "Personal Settings" and could not find it. So I opened "Menü-Editor" (="Menu Editor") and looked for the executed command: "systemsettings -caption "%c" %i" If I execute it from "konsole" without any parameters the opened window will be called "Systemeinstellungen" and there will be no missing features... (also if I change the executed command in "Menü-Editor") The next thing: If I call it from Kickoff menu and change the view from "Symbolansicht" (="Icon View") to "Klassische Baumansicht" (="Tree View") the window will change the name from "Personal Settings" to "Systemeinstellungen" -> Now it takes the string from upstream? The last thing: We (the German KDE translation team) translate "Tree View" with "Baumansicht" and not "Klassische Baumansicht"... (see http://websvn.kde.org/branches/stable/l10n-kde4/de/messages/kdebase/systems…) The installed packages are from "http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openS…". Are there any reasons for this different strings/translations and execution with parameters? Maybe it should be changed upstream...

[opensuse-kde] pulseaudio and phonon
by Stephan Kulow 18 Aug '09

18 Aug '09

Hi, For Milestone6 I tried to do what was discussed: namely switching to xine backend and away from pulseaudio. So this is the diff in the package list for the kde livecd (no change for GNOME): -alsa-plugins-pulse +esound-daemon -gstreamer-0_10-plugins-good -gstreamer-0_10-schroedinger -gstreamer-0_10-utils -gstreamer-utils -libcaca -libjack0 -liblirc_client0 -libproxy0 -libproxy0-config-gnome -libproxy0-config-kde -libproxy0-networkmanager -libproxy0-pacrunner-mozjs -libproxy0-wpad-dns -libpulse-browse0 -libpulse-mainloop-glib0 -libschroedinger-1_0-0 -libsoup-2_4-1 -libwavpack1 -lirc -lirc-remotes -phonon-backend-gstreamer-0_10 +phonon-backend-xine -pulseaudio -pulseaudio-esound-compat -pulseaudio-module-bluetooth -pulseaudio-module-jack -pulseaudio-module-lirc -pulseaudio-module-x11 -pulseaudio-module-zeroconf -pulseaudio-utils If you select KDE on the DVD, the same should be selected, but if you add GNOME to it, KDE will get alsa-plugins-pulse too. And some applications still use gstreamer (foremost OOo), so I would like everyone to double check if everything still works (or at least works as before :) Greetings, Stephan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Test "raw Phonon"?
by Cristian Morales Vega 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hi, if I want to test GStreamer I can "gst-launch playbin uri=<uri>" to know if the problem is with the player (Totem) or with GStreamer itself. Now I have "mms://a1830.l830120550.c8301.e.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1830/8301/v0001/reflec…". I can "mplayer 'mms://a1830.l830120550.c8301.e.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1830/8301/v0001/reflec…' -dumpstream" to forget about MMS problems (perhaps you want to rename the file to have .asf or .wma extension). It works with gst-launch playbin and xine-ui, but doesn't works in neither Dragon Player nor Amarok (with neither GStreamer nor Xine backends). There is any Phonon equivalent of "gst-launch playbin" to test if the problem is in the players? P.S. This is with KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop and it seems to be a general problem here. I found about this when testing after reading http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/420040-question-streamin…, and happens with every MMS stream I have found so far. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Removing KDE:KDE3 apps from openSUSE:Factory
by Lubos Lunak 17 Aug '09

17 Aug '09

Hello, as mentioned in the last IRC meeting, there is still a number of KDE3 apps in openSUSE:Factory, and at least some of those really shouldn't be there on the account of being horribly old, unmaintained and so on. I checked what from KDE:KDE3 still links to openSUSE:Factory and here is the list, together with recommendations. The plan is that I will request removing of all the ones marked with 'drop', unless somebody speaks up for them. And the removing will be from openSUSE:Factory, not KDE:KDE3, just to make that sure. Feel free also to suggest dropping of further apps where I am not sure. * celestia - appears to be maintained, keep "Celestia is a free real-time space simulation that lets you experience our universe in three dimensions.", http://celestia.sourceforge.net * datakiosk - drop, I can't even find it in svn "DataKiosk is a JuK-like database interface tool for generic SQL databases.", http://extragear.kde.org/apps/datakiosk/ * kbiff - keep? last release a year ago, but still KDE3, and do we need something like this when it's KDE3? "tray icon showing mailbox status", http://kbiff.granroth.org/ * kcfgcreator - drop, unmaintained for quite some time (mentions KDE3.2) for editing KConfigXT files, http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kcfgcreator/ * kconfigeditor - drop, like kcfgcreator http://extragear.kde.org/apps/kconfigeditor/ * kdbg - keep? last release half a year ago, but no kde4 http://www.kdbg.org/ * kdbus - drop, unmaintained (even its page says so) "D-BUS service browser for KDE" http://rohanpm.net/kdbus * kde3-kst - keep/drop? there is kde4 version in playground * kdirstat - keep? I find this quite useful, but last release in '06 "graphical disk usage utility, very much like the Unix "du" command" http://kdirstat.sourceforge.net/ * kinternet - keep? I think some people still use this (and even need?) connection manager, SUSE * kio_ipodslave - drop? last release dec'07, works only with KDE3 apps KDE3 kioslave for iPod, http://kpod.sourceforge.net/ipodslave/ * kio-locate - drop, last release '06, works only with KDE3 apps KDE3 kioslave for searching for files, http://arminstraub.com/browse.php?page=programs_kiolocate * kio_slp - drop? - is this useful in any way when it's KDE3 kioslave? KDE3 kioslave for KDE3, from adrianS * klamav - keep, feb'09 antivirus, http://klamav.sourceforge.net/ * kmymoney - keep, feb'09 personal finance manager, http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/ * konserve - drop?, mar'04 periodic backup, http://konserve.sourceforge.net/ * kpl - drop, dec'05 , graph plotting, http://frsl06.physik.uni-freiburg.de/privat/stille/kpl * kpowersave - drop, who needs this with PowerDevil? power manager, SUSE * krecord - drop? is there a replacement? nov'04 Simple sound recording app, http://linux.bytesex.org/misc/krecord.html * krpmbuilder - drop, apr'05 , it's probably hopefully obsolete wizard app for creating rpms, http://krpmbuilder.sourceforge.net/ * kscpm - keep? suse stuff for scpm * ksimus - drop, apr'03 "KSimus is a KDE tool for simulation, automatization and visualization of technical processes." http://ksimus.berlios.de/ * kvirc - keep? has kde4 snapshots IRC client, http://www.kvirc.net/ * kvocabs - drop, jul'05 "KVocabs is an application for learning vocabulary.

[opensuse-kde] pending eric et.al. submit requests
by Hans-Peter Jansen 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi Will, Steve, Dirk, Stephan and Lubos, I'm sure, you received the sr from me concerning eric. home:frispete:branches:KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop/eric A full featured eric depends one these packages: python-enchant python-pylint python-logilab-astng python-logilab-common python-pysvn python-qscintilla python-qt4{,-devel} python-sip{,-devel} python-rope where python-sip and python-logilab-astng contain a fix that allow pylinting PyQt projects. The python-sip fix is from Phil Thompson himself (backported by me), and the python-logilab-astng patch is acked by Sylvain Thénault. The only other intervention was the renaming of pylint to python-pylint. By now, eric carries explicite dependencies on certain versions of these packages in order to ease the life of actual users of this package. Since the time is running out, and I would like to get these into 11.2. Could you give me an advise, what can be done from my side, that all dependant packages gets into - right in time?

[opensuse-kde] [Feedback wanted] Default Phonon backend for 11.2 - xine or gstreamer?
by Martin Schlander 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

It's currently under discussion which Phonon backend to use/install by default in openSUSE 11.2. Phonon is the audio/video abstraction layer used by e.g. Amarok, KDE system notification sounds, and some other KDE applications to interface with the actual multimedia engines (xine, gstreamer). In the previous releases phonon-backend-gstreamer was the default primarily because of the Fluendo codecs which provided MP3 support for gstreamer. But since Fluendo codecs will no longer be part of the distro this default is again open for discussion. Many, many users have probably been switching to phonon-backend-xine for use with the libxine1 package from Packman in openSUSE 11.0 and 11.1. So what do you think? The KDE team would like to know which backend you'd prefer in 11.2 and if either one is currently causing you major grief or giving you great pleasure. If you're unsure which Phonon backend you're currently using, see systemsettings -> Sound (KDE 4.1) / Multimedia (KDE >=4.2) -> "Engine" tab. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kmail and attachments
by Anders Johansson 14 Aug '09

14 Aug '09

Hi, With the latest update, the problem I had in the 4.3 betas is back - I can't save attachments from kmail anymore. It thinks all attachments are encrypted, and when "decrypting" saves a 0 byte file. This was fixed in the release candidates and final builds. Did you re-enable (or disable) some patch somewhere? 11.1 with factory kde kmail-4.3.0-152.2 Cheers Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
