[opensuse-kde] general kernel questions on 11.1
by kanenas＠hawaii.rr.com 16 Nov '10

16 Nov '10

yesterday i ran the uname command and the answer was that my kernel version is 2.6.27.54-0.1-default #1 SMP 2010-10-19 18:40:07 +0200 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 according to Yast that seems to be the latest and greatest kernel available for 11.1. Has the official support for 11.1 been stopped allready? do i have to dl and compile my own kernel if i want anything more recent than that? would i gain anything if i did? Do i have to go to 11.2 or 11.3 in order to get to anything later than 27.54 officially blessed by SuSe? thanks in advance, d. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Your Gnome appearance > fonts looks like mine except for the font sizes. If I'm missing something important (like your URL) please clue me in.

[opensuse-kde] kio_sysinfo and webkit broken again in openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 3 of 6
by Roman Bysh 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

Dear Listmates, It appears the same problem with kio_sysinfo and webkit has re-appeared in openSUSE 11.4 Milestone 3 of 6. When I set webkit as the default with Konqueror, and calling up sysinfo, all text and images are justified to the left side of the screen. When I switch back to khtml, everything appears okay. This appeared in openSUSE M1. -- Cheers! Roman -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

I have done a lttle more patient investigation. As I have stated in a previos post I can change the fonts in gnome-control-center and it will work. However, it will not survive stopping and restarting X. When restarting X the small GTK fonts re-appear. But, I can reopen gnome-control-center, NOT change one single thing, close it again and the bigger chosen fonts again reappear. This is repeatable. Something in the start up of X?

[opensuse-kde] small GTK fonts
by Bob S 14 Nov '10

14 Nov '10

Hello SuSE KDE people, I am sight impaired. All of my fonts are pretty large so that I can read them, except for Firefox and other GTK applications. I am talkingabout the fonts in the task bars, menus, etc. In my personal settings > Appearance > GTK styles I have tried using the "Use my KDE fonts" and other variations. To no avail. Nothing changes. I remember back in about the 9.0 days there was a file or something you could download or edit or something that you could change the appearance of theGTK stuff. Is there some equivalent was to do it now? Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE:Unstable:SC:kdepim45 deleted, no kdepim 4.5 release
by Will Stephenson 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Upstream have decided that there won't be a kdepim 4.5 release at all and will concentrate on kdepim 4.6, so I have deleted KDE:Unstable:SC:kdepim45 from the OBS. There's going to be a kmail2 bug squashing weekend in #kontact this weekend, if anyone is interested in helping out.

[opensuse-kde] openSUSE KDE meeting 20101111
by Martin Schlander 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_Meetings for futher details. == Old Action Items == * wstephenson - media package lists in gitorious ** Not done == Status Report == * wstephenson was variously at the conference, on holiday and being ill for the last 3 weeks * westephenson is making KDE-SDK-Live more generally useful * tittiatcoke reports that Unstable is suprisingly stable * good progress upstream for solid and k3b getting rid of HAL dependency and using udisks, upower instead * wstephenson is bug triaging kmail2 this weekend - anyone wants to help, come to #kontact == Drop 11.2 from KUSC? == * It was discussed to stop builing KDE:Unstable:SC for 11.2 to save buildpower. We will try to figure out how many people use 11.2+KUSC and if there's a big need to save buildpower. == Extend operator list for this channel == * mrdocs, tittiatcoke and cb400f will become operators in #opensuse-kde (if they don't object). Dominian is an ex freenode staffer and will help out too. wstephenson will do the job of giving access. == Replacement of some "older" applications in KDF ? (e.g. Rekonq vs Arora, Bluedevil vs kbluetooth, etc) == * It's time to submit the new things we want in 11.4 to KDE:Distro:Factory - examples are rekonq, bluedevil, possibly gtk-oxygen-engine and phonon-vlc and maybe other things mentioned on the KDE_ideas wiki page. And also update the patterns so e.g. bluedevil gets installed by default. == Q&A == * New kde booster hiring is going very well == Action Items == * wstephenson media package lists in gitorious * wstephenson check demand and resource levels * wstephenson give new ops ops * wstephenson poke dirk about Qt html5 stuff (bnc #559006) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Windows 7 like preview for minimized apps in KDE?
by Malte Gell 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

Hi there, in Windows 7 I like this preview feature very much that shows a preview of a program even if it is minimized, when you hover with the mouse over the task bar. I wonder, does any recent version of KDE have a clone of this Windows feature? I currently run KDE 4.3.5 with Compiz and it does not have this cool preview feature.
