[opensuse-kde] kmix patch
by Mariusz Fik 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi, Kmix looks really ugly in KDE 4.3 series. A patch fixing it was committed into 4.4 tree. Since KDE 4.3.5 is in update repo, is there any chance to apply this patch to our KDE 4.3.5? http://reviewboard.kde.org/r/2328/ -- Pozdrawiam / Best regards, Mariusz Fik, openSUSE Community Member

[opensuse-kde] Community Discussion - KDE Edition
by Andrew Wafaa 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Aloha oh wondrous KDE Community, Some may have noticed my blog posts trying to engage the wider openSUSE Community in discussion on ways of improving how we, the openSUSE Community, work and play. The shotgun approach of hitting the whole Community seems to be going a bit slow, so I thought I would try a different approach :-) So basically I'm looking to see what you the KDE Community feel is missing, an issue, could be improved etc. Also crucially how do you think any of the issues can be resolved. As I mentioned in my blog posts, I am looking for a discussion and not a flame war. I am not in any power to resolve any issue that are present, but I do feel that we already have the tools at hand to fix most that we encounter. I will however put my noisy voice to as much use as possible and try and help out where I can. I do feel that sometimes we just shrug our shoulders and carry on regardless, and think "why bother we aren't going to get any help". If we don't make a sound case for why & how we need help there is no chance we will. So this is the first step in getting that help - defining what and how. Please help me and yourselves work out how best to improve life within openSUSE. If people would rather not make their concerns etc public, please feel free to contact me directly. What I do ask is that we please try and keep things on topic, calm and pleasant. Regards, Andy -- Andrew Wafaa, openSUSE Member: FunkyPenguin.

After reading the bug report, I tried two experiments, making changes to ~/.profile 1 adding export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde4 to the profile doesn't make any difference, the button text is invisible. but 2 adding export OOO_FORCE_DESKTOP=kde to the profile reveals all the buttons on the status bar.

[opensuse-kde] openoffice status bar buttons invisible
by John King 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

kde 4.3.5 on opensuse 11.2, openoffice 3.2.0 from opensuse repository Following a recent update (though I can't specify exactly when) I've noticed that the buttons on the openoffice status bar at the bottom are invisible. The status bar itself shows but only the shape of the buttons is visible. Clicking on the blank buttons will call up the appropriate menu, and sometimes brings out the button text. Also changing the kde theme will sometimes reveal some, but not all of the buttons, though in some cases will hide their outlines completely. Similarly, changing the openoffice icon size and style in the options menu sometimes reveals the button text or hides the buttons. This problem doesn't seem to exist on a machine running gnome, so I assume it's kde related. Can anyone confirm this behaviour?

[opensuse-kde] New phonon always expects pulseaudio (with workaround)
by Tejas Guruswamy 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Hi all, After the latest updates from 11.2 / KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, I had some problems with phonon ... I don't use pulseaudio or even have it installed on this machine. But after the latest KDE4.4 update applications trying to use phonon were hanging, apparently on detecting PulseAudio support. Even the control module didn't work. What seems to be happening is that now phonon is compiled with pulseaudio, it seems to *always expect* pulseaudio to be present, or hangs (no crash, just an infinite block). Which sucks for those of us who aren't using pulseaudio. Thankfully there is a workaround (after tracking down the problem and analysing the relevant sources) which is to set the following export PHONON_PULSEAUDIO_DISABLE=1 For now this works, but is the behaviour we want as default? If so, can we integrate this workaround somehow into the relevant packages? (e.g. in setup-pulseaudio) Forgive me if I'm just being dense and this was all obvious, I didn't see any mention of this in any of the recent threads discussing KDE4.4 / pulseaudio.

[opensuse-kde] Adding KDE meetings also to Meetings/Archives
by Lubos Lunak 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hello, it's been brought to my attention that there is a wiki page http://en.opensuse.org/Meetings/Archive where all meeting minutes/transcripts are archived. I will update http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/Meetings/Managing to say that the minutes and transcript should be also added to that page, but it would be nice to have also all already past KDE meetings there (there are currently only few past meetings). Would somebody update the Meetings/Archive page to link to all KDE meetings? I'd assume it's just a bit of scripting on the wiki page source or a little of manual copy&pasting. -- Lubos Lunak openSUSE Boosters team, KDE developer l.lunak(a)suse.cz , l.lunak(a)kde.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Konqueror does not want to open kmz files
by Richard Bos 24 Mar '10

24 Mar '10

Hi, I've a problem with konqueror, the app does not automatically use Google Earth when I click on a link that refers to a kmz file. The details of my problem: Let's start what is working: - if a file on disk is a .kmz file konqueror opens the file with Google Earth. (this is e.g. a kmz file that was downloaded from the internet and stored in /tmp) - If I right click on a link on a webpage refering to a .kmz file, the context menu contains a reference to Google Earth. When using that reference GE opens the link. What's not working: - Clicking on a link refering to a kmz file. E.g. on this page: http://www.kmzlinks.com/?offset=1&group= Click Now konqueror offers me: 'save as', 'open with' and cancel. Or when I right click on the link, the context menu offers me to open the link with e.g. kate, kwrite, OO.org writer, and other editors, but no GE :( Why is that? I've *kmz files associated with Google Earth.... For example in $HOME/.local/share/mime/application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.xml .kde4/share> cat ./mimelnk/application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.desktop [Desktop Entry] # Installed by xdg-mime from googleearth-mimetypes.xml Type=MimeType MimeType=application/vnd.google-earth.kmz Icon=application-vnd.google-earth.kmz Comment=Keyhole Markup Language archive Patterns=*.kmz; In /usr/share/applications/ there is ./googleearth.desktop The last files that are kmz related I know are located in: /usr/share/mime # find | grep google ./packages/googleearth-mimetypes.xml ./application/vnd.google-earth.kmz.xml ./application/vnd.google-earth.kml+xml.xml Shouldn't this be sufficient for konqueror to open kmz files automatically? At firefox offers to open the links with GE, konqueror should be able to do that too, isn't it??? -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] problem with the media key
by CP Hennessy 19 Mar '10

19 Mar '10

Hi, My base system is opensuse 11.2 but I've made a "few" updates : - KDE4.4 - X11 from /repositories/X11%3a/XOrg/openSUSE_11.2/ - and kernel 2.6.33 I have very few problems with this. However one really annoying one is the media keys to play/pause, stop, etc which do not cause any action. This was working before the update(s) above. I can assign the MediaPlay custom key in amarok in the global shortcuts (i.e. when I click on "None" option and then use the "MediaPlay" key it is accepted. However either the application never receives the key or it ignores it. I tried other apps and had the same results. Using "xev" I can see that the key being returned is XF86AudioPlay. I've attached a small pyqt4 script which runs and shows the comparrison with the QT "Media" key which runs successfully on my Dell laptop. But still the apps do not recognise the key. Can anyone give me any hint how I can figure this out ? Thanks, CPH
