[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.5 which repo to use?
by Malte Gell 15 Dec '10

15 Dec '10

Hi, I use openSUSE 11.2 x64 and want to update to KDE 4.5 I wonder is this the right repo to use: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/45/openSUSE_11.2/ or should i use another repo?

[opensuse-kde] Error - KIOExec blah is a folder, but a file was expected
by Michael Powell 14 Dec '10

14 Dec '10

Greetings: Navigating to somewhere in the tree of an SMB share and attempting to use the "Tools -> Find File..." is producing this error (by way of example): Error - KIOExec smb://testbed.test.zip/storage/Backups is a folder, but a file was expected. This works as expected on any local file system, but fails on remote smb:/ shares. The failure is the same whether attempted within Dolphin or via Konqueror in file management mode. I've checked out the %u comments from various Googlings, and these all seem to be present in the file associations, such as inode/directory, etc. Don't see anything real obvious in there, although I am not an expert on what I would be looking for either. Just nothing jumps out at me. The other half of the picture is Samba on the remote machine. Nothing has changed there for a very long time. While it is a possibility I have my doubts that the problem originates there. I do not use this all that often but I do know it used to work. Just can't say when it stopped working as I upgrade more often than I use this feature. Current system is openSUSE 11.3 with 2.6.37-rc5-18-desktop kernel from HEAD, latest NVIDIA driver 260.19.21 as installed from the .RUN file downloaded directly from NVIDIA site. KDE is KDE 4.5.4 "Release 9". Prior to the switch of Factory to the KDE 4.6 development cycle I was tracking Factory so the Qt library is 4.7.1. Upon the switch I disabled Factory and dropped back to KR45. This has resulted in a very stable desktop and I hadn't noticed any discrepancies until this problem. I do know it used to work but can't pinpoint exactly when it stopped. Anyone else see this?

[opensuse-kde] Can I add KDEPIM from 4.3.5. to 11.3?
by Bob Smits 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

I'd like to add the KDEPIM (4.3.5) from OpenSuSe 11.2 to an OpenSuse 11.3 install. Can someone suggest how to do that? I seem to remember that there was a package to install the older version of KDE 4.3.5. Do I just enable an 11.2 repository?

[opensuse-kde] Fwd: Dolphin crashes on exit (OpenSuse, Strigi and KDE Factory)
by Peter Linnell 12 Dec '10

12 Dec '10

Hi Folks, I chatted with Dario earlier today and asked him to send me a mail to forward. Sounds like a pretty common crash and I have not yet tested myself, but wanted to get this out there for people to see. Cheers, Peter -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Dolphin crashes on exit (OpenSuse, Strigi and KDE Factory) Date: Sat, 11 Dec 2010 13:34:19 -0300 From: Darío Andrés <andresbajotierra(a)gmail.com> On the KDE Bugtracker we are trying to identify a mass crash happening to OpenSuse users (11.2, 11.3, 11.4) with KDE SC 4.6 betas. The crash report is https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=257944 Summary of the Crash: Dolphin (and other applications) crash on exit if some actions are performed. The crash seems to be related to Strigi (libstreams). It happens when some file info is loaded/shown in Dolphin (using the Information panel, or spawning the Properties dialog of a file; which also contains a metainfo tab). I installed OpenSuse 11.4 (the last milestone available some days ago) on a VM and I could reproduce the crash. I could also reproduce the crash if I invoked "kfile4 --dialog SomeAppLauncher.desktop", waited 5 seconds or more and closed the dialog (Note that "SomeAppLauncher.desktop" could be , for example, any .desktop file on Desktop, like "MozillaFirefox.desktop") On my installed, The KDE Crash Handler didn't appeared at all. The crash information was shown on the terminal (reduced stacktrace and memory map). I couldn't get a valid backtrace while running Dolphin from GDB. However, Valgrind detected the crash and it showed references to libstreams.so (Strigi). I tried to install the debuginfo packages for it but I couldn't get the full information in Valgrind. (I also had some problems while installing the debuginfo packages, may be some package version mismatch). We don't know if this could be caused by Strigi 0.7.3, the KDE packages from Factory or any other factor in OpenSuse. We didn't get any other similar report from another distribution deploying KDE 4.6 beta packages (I don't know if they also deploy strigi 0.7.3) It could be really useful if OpenSuse devs or experienced users could test this on their installations to try to determine the cause, or at least, to try to get a full Valgrind log to fill a Strigi bug. If you need more help or information you can contact me or leave a message in the bug report. Thanks in advance Darío A.

[opensuse-kde] XMMS and KDE
by todd rme 10 Dec '10

10 Dec '10

A lot of KDE 4 programs seem to have optional build dependencies for XMMS, providing a fair amount of support for the program I assume. However, as far as I can tell this dependency is not put in any of the spec file buildrequires. XMMS is available from the default repositories. Is there a particular reason XMMS is not being supported in openSUSE KDE packages? I don't use it myself, but I assume some people might if it was supported. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

I found the problem I had to check the confirm logout option. Then in the logout menu (1 item) I can add restart and shutdown options.

[opensuse-kde] kontact / kmail dosn't work
by "Ulf Bartholomäus" 09 Dec '10

09 Dec '10

At first, please excuse me, that I've not checked the Emails before. But some days, I fight with kmail/kontact. History: I update the openSUSE 11.3 KDE Factory Repository to the KDE 4.6 Beta 1. At the first restart from my desktop, the System converts my Email and some other things. But the conversion crashes. But the Email works some days fine. Only the passwords from my Email accounts (which are stored before in kwallet) must be set new. After a system crash, with a hard reboot, akonadi doesn’t work. At first it crashed with mySQL/InnoDB problems. But this problems are known from the Version before (kadressbok) and after reading from some Akonadi pages and "Googling". I do my normal work, to bring up Akonadi (root on my PC have nobody rights in my Home - so I mount it via NFS from my Server): akonadictl stop qdbus org.kde.NepomukServer /nepomukserver org.kde.NepomukServer.quit rm ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ib* rm ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/.nfs000* rm ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/db_misc/mysql.socket chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.local chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.config find ${HOME}/.local -type d -exec chmod a+rwx {} \; find ${HOME}/.config -type d -exec chmod a+rwx {} \; su -c 'rcmysql restart' mysql_install_db --datadir=${MyHome}/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ sleep 15s chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/* sleep 15s akonadictl start &> ${HOME}/akonadilog & (akonadiconsole || chmod -R a+rw ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi/* )& But it doesn’t work now. So I rename the ${HOME}/.local/share/akonadi and restart the System. Know Akonadi works fine, but kmail/kontact crashes with a generally error message (aditional some knotify - crash messages pops on the screen). If I look in the Akonadi Server settings, the entrys from Nepomuk are not available, but in the akonadiconsole, this are present. I removed in the akonadiconsole all entry’s, which are not mandatory needed (only the POP and IMAP mailsetting are not removed). But I can't add the Nepomuk Email search, it's light gray and can't be selected). What's happend? How can I bring back my email directory's to Akonadi (or start a new conversion run, to convert the old Emails from ~/Mail to Akonadi)?
