[opensuse-kde] Mimetype for windows *.exe files
by Christian Trippe 25 Oct '10

25 Oct '10

Hi! I came across bug 625365 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=625365 which basically is wine is no executed if you click on exe files in dolphin or konqueror. You get a ksuseinstall window telling you that no application for application/x-ms-dos-executable is installed. The reason is simple wine does not provide this in its desktop file. So as asked for in the bug report I changed the desktop file to include this, however still the same happens. After this I found out that in systemsettings wine is still not registered for this mimetype. I also does not work for a new user. So my questions are: Why is this the case and how can this be fixed?

[opensuse-kde] KDE stable and trunk in parallel
by todd rme 24 Oct '10

24 Oct '10

In a talk at the openSUSE conference, being able to install trunk and stable KDE versions in parallel will be possible in openSUSE 11.4. Is that is something only for 11.4, or will it be in all KDE repos, and is it already done or planned for some point in the future? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] openSUSE 11.3 / KDE 4.5 / nVidia 260.19 / Bug 251719 Work-Around
by Randall R Schulz 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

Hi, After a monster pile of updates, including many for KDE 4.5, I was left without the plasma desktop. A bit up experimenting and Web-hunting led me to KDE bug 251719 [1], which is deemed the fault of the nVidia driver. I devised a work-around based on the following statement by Aaron Seigo at the end of that bug page: "it's crashing when the clock applet tries to get the time DataEngine. this is crashing somewhere in the library loading code in glibc. try downgrading your video driver. i don't think this is something we can do anything about in plasma, however." The work-around is to remove the clock applet from the tray. I did this by finding references to it in these two files: ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-overlay-appletsrc I simply commented out the sections of config there that mention "clock": ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-desktop-appletsrc -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- #[Containments][3][Applets][11] #geometry=1684,4,180,60 #immutability=1 #plugin=digital-clock #zvalue=14 # #[Containments][3][Applets][11][Configuration] #Share=false #announceInterval=0 #calendarType=locale #defaultTimezone=Local #displayHolidays=true #holidaysRegion=us_en-us #plainClockColor=20,19,18 #plainClockFont=Sans Serif,38,-1,0,50,0,0,0,0,0 #showDate=true #showDay=true #showSeconds=true #showTimezone=true #showYear=false #timeZones=UTC #timezone=Local #useCustomColor=false # #[Containments][3][Applets][11][Configuration][ExtenderItems][3] #extenderIconName=view-pim-calendar #extenderItemName=calendar #extenderItemPosition=0 #extenderTitle=Calendar #isCollapsed=false #sourceAppletId=11 #sourceAppletPluginName=digital-clock -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- ~/.kde4/share/config/plasma-overlay-appletsrc -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- #[Containments][1][Applets][2] #geometry=6,6,256,256 #immutability=2 #plugin=clock #zvalue=0 # #[Containments][1][Applets][2][Configuration][ExtenderItems][1] #extenderIconName=view-pim-calendar #extenderItemName=calendar #extenderItemPosition=0 #extenderTitle=Calendar #isCollapsed=false #sourceAppletId=2 #sourceAppletPluginName=clock -==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==--==- NOTE: If you want to go back to your old clock config without reestablishing it via the panel GUI, you'll have to save the original files (-desktop-, anyway), cause after the first launch, the commented-out config blocks were gone.

[opensuse-kde] Playground/Release_45 incomplete
by Markus Slopianka 23 Oct '10

23 Oct '10

Hi. After getting hit by the KDF+NVidia bug, I thought I switch to the Release/45 repo. However I found that some packages are missing from its Playground repo -- at least colibri, phonon-backend-vlc, and rekonq. Could the people who maintain those packages please also publish them to Playground/Release_45? Thanks.

[opensuse-kde] Carefull with NVidia driver update
by Markus Slopianka 22 Oct '10

Hey fellas. Seems like you should avoid the latest 260.19.x driver series if you use KDE SC from Factory. I, too, was hit by the bug described in http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=155198 Markus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE printer issue?
by Marc Chamberlin 21 Oct '10

21 Oct '10

Hello - I have a number of client computers running SuSE11.2 with KDE4.5.2 and a single printer server using CUPs. I set up all my clients using YaST, to do all my printing via one remote CUPS server and point them at the printer server (also running SuSE11.2 with KDE4.5.2) The profile that the CUPS server is set up with is the Default profile that comes as is with SuSE. Recently I changes my passwords on the server, something I am prone to do once in awhile, and now I have an interesting situation that points me to think there is a KDE issue of some kind. From a command line, in a shell window, using the lpr command I get a request asking me for my id and password on the server, and when I enter my id and new password everything works fine and I get a printout. However GUI based applications have different results/failures! Firefox will pop up a dialog asking me to authenticate myself, but will not accept my new password (it is the same on both my client laptop and my server) However it will accept my old password and then I get a printout! Bizarre if you ask me!! Other examples: Xemacs will silently say it spooled my print request, but no print out occurs. OpenOffice also fails but reports simply that I had a print failure. Thunderbird simply reports the print request was successful and Ocular gives no feedback of any kind and sometimes crashes. So far I have not been able to find any GUI based app that will successfully print out documents. So what gives? If I am suppose to authenticate with user id and password, why don't these apps ask for it. It appears that the printer setup dialog is similar in each case so I would expect a popup dialog for authentication. How do I get applications on client computers to print out documents? Thanks in advance for your time and help, I have had this issue before but the remedy I applied back in SuSE 10.1-3 days, which was to reenter my user password on the server a couple times, did not work this time, so I am again stuck on this problem and not finding any answers on the internet...
