[opensuse-kde] Call for testing: on-demand package installation
by Lubos Lunak 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hello, in OBS in home:llunak:ksuseinstall there are packages branched from KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop that have one experimental feature added: When a needed package is not installed, the user is offered its installation. Currently there is support for debuginfo packages, applications that can open a specific file type if none is installed and multimedia codecs for Amarok. The plan is that this feature makes it into 11.3, so please test and provide feedback. The things I'm especially interested in: - the UI and the workflow could quite possibly be improved (currently it uses Yast modules to save me a lot of work, and it's also done this way because of a certain catch mentioned below). So, imagine you are Joe User the Clueless who's just installed 11.3 and think about how this would or would not work and how it could be improved. The catch here is that this is not only a technical problem but also a legal :(. This can quite easily help with the problem of installing packages that cannot be shipped as a part of openSUSE because of various stupid patent stuff etc. The problem is that we should not even encourage too much usage of such packages. Don't ask what that means exactly, because I don't know, and probably not even lawyers know for sure, but something like "MP3 support is missing, press Yes to install it from Packman" is simply very unlikely to make it past our lawyers. I think the guideline could be that the user has to know it's an extra and that it's not part of openSUSE, and thus has to make at least some effort, not just confirm a dialog. There is a reason why adding community repositories in Yast fetches a list of those from a 3rd party site and knows nothing else than the URL of that list. Yes, this all sucks. - there could be more places where this could help a lot, either by saving the default installation size by not installing packages that most users wouldn't use, or by handling something where such on-demand installation would be helpful to many users. From 11.2 the Nepomuk/Strigi config module comes to mind - we had it disabled by default and some parts were not installed, so enabling it required not only flipping the checkbox but also installing something. I am not going to patch every single place in KDE where an optional package could be possibly missing, but it shouldn't be difficult to handle some mores places where it makes a difference, if you know such cases. -- 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] KDE repo structure proposal
by Lubos Lunak 28 May '10

28 May '10

Hello, I have the AI from the last meeting to sum up the new structure and naming here before we do a poll about the choices, so here it goes. According to the discussion the repositories should be reorganized this way, with the following names and purpose: (note: KKFD = KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, o:F = openSUSE:Factory) - backports repository - name KDE:Backports, it contains latest versions of KDE applications that are usable of any supported openSUSE release and do not require newer KDE platform. In other words, all applications from the factory development repo (current KKFD) but built against the distributions instead of against KKFD. This repository is offered in repositories list in YaST. Technically, this repo will only contain links to openSUSE:Factory for the packages. Maintainers of the repository shouldn't need to do more than enable/disable build and 'osc linkrev' to update to newer versions (the links will point to specific revisions of o:F packages to avoid beta packages appearing in KDE:Backports when they get submitted to o:F). - unstable repository - name KDE:UNSTABLE, currently KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE:Desktop. Basically, SVN upstream snapshots, that's it. - development repository - current KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop, suggested name KDE:Distribution:Factory or others (see below). This repository contains all packages maintained by the KDE team that are in o:F. Note that KDE team does not mean just Will and me. - stable repository - current KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop, suggested name KDE:Distribution:STABLE or others (see below). Contains all packages maintained by the KDE team that are in the latest stable openSUSE release. In other words, when there is a new distribution release, contents of the above (~KKFD) repo get copied here and the repo is used for preparing online updates and similar. - additional packages repository - suggested name KDE:Extra or others (see below), for packages which are not in o:F (like current KDE:KDE4:Community but hopefully without the random state of things). This repository is offered in repositories list in YaST. Only stable releases of packages are allowed here, or a reasonably stable beta release if an official stable release is not available. Repository-wide maintaners are only people who maintain the repository as a whole. People willing to contribute packages will do submit requests that will be reviewed by maintainers, when trusted enough they get maintainership only for their package(s). Current KDE:KDE4:Community will be eventually deleted after packages are moved to this new repository (not necessarily all of them). - playground repository - name KDE:Playground, contains any KDE packages without any guarantee (alpha versions, whatever). Not as strongly reviewed and maintained as the other repositories (I don't know what the best way to handle this in practice would be, depends also on manpower, but I think there still should be only few repo-wide maintainers who would give package maintainership to others). That's all as far as the reorganization goes. This will be done before 11.3 is released, we will try to keep links for backwards compatibility for some (unknown time). Please review and comment/fix/etc. Also please raise your hand again if you'd be willing to do a repository maintainer for any of these. There were several people for KDE:Backports (where it should be pretty simple) and KDE:Extra stepping up during the meeting, so I'd like just to have a written overview here. Naming: Since we are already going to do repository renaming to e.g. remove 'Community' from the name of the repository with additional packages to avoid suggesting that it is the only repository where community can contribute, we decided to do it all at once and also do other renaming to fix other problems with repository naming. For example, in KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop the 'KDE4' is superfluous and 'Desktop' is just a part of the contents, and we could use a better word than 'Factory' to suggest that it is packages that will be in the distribution. Therefore, here is a list of names that were proposed during the meeting. For some the consensus seemed clear, so there is just one, but feel free to suggest other options there too. - backports: - KDE:Backports - unstable: - KDE:UNSTABLE - KDE:Unstable - development: - KDE:Distribution:Factory - KDE:Distro:Factory - KDE:Base:Factory - (KDE:SC:Factory is not listed as the contents are not just KDE Software Compilation) - ? - stable: - KDE:Distribution:STABLE - replace 'Distribution' with all choices above for it, and STABLE can again get different capitalization - ? - additional: - KDE:Extra - KDE:Contrib (this is not very liked, as it has similar implications like 'Community') - playground: - KDE:Playground After feedback (or if there is none :) ), I will create polls for the possibilities and best names will be chosen. After that, we will create the new structure, setup maintainers for the repos and start moving contents. -- 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] trinity: KDE 3.5 fork
by phanisvara das 25 May '10

25 May '10

i thought some here might find it interesting that some folks decided to continue maintaining KDE 3.5. the source can be found at <http://websvn.kde.org/branches/>, ubuntu packages here: <https://launchpad.net/~kde3- maintainers/+archive/trinity-svn-nightly/+packages> i don't know if packages for other distros are planned; their roadmap isn't very complete yet: "This page will (eventually) detail the direction the Trinity project is heading in. For now, we are busy keeping the efficient KDE3 interface alive and up-to-date, as well as patching security holes and adding advanced new features!" apparently they're thinking to improve on the present 3.5.10 version, and i thought people who have strong opinions what should or shouldn't have been done with KDE 3.5 might want to get involved during the beginning stage of such a project. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] No Sound after Installing KDE 4 Live

Hi Listmates, I successfully installed KDE 4 Live (x86-64) [0] on ASUS EEEPC 1201T[1], but no sound on login (and other applications).

It took me to read the troubleshooting page[2] , they said it is probably because the user was not in audio group yet. I added my user to be in, then it solved the issue. Is it known (bug) of (only) KDE 4 Live issue or because running x86-64 version? I never found this issue on other openSUSE 11.2 installation (no need to be in audio group). Thanks in advance.

[opensuse-kde] kdmrc's ForgingSeed
by Cristian Morales Vega 21 May '10

21 May '10

Hi, Looking at the packages from KKFD that were published without a changes in sources (i.e. that didn't pass the build-compare test) I found this in /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc: # Random seed for forging saved session types, etc. of unknown users. # This value should be random but constant across the login domain. # Default is 0 ForgingSeed=XXXXXXXXXX No idea about kdm or what this ForgingSeed exactly is. But: a) It's a security problem that this seed is random but... well, public, and constant for all openSUSE users? Should it to be set in the %postin? b) If isn't a security problem. Would we brake people systems if we set it in the %postin? (to fix build-compare) I am not sure what the "login domain" is. Could it be that people networks are working just because they installed the same package in all the machines and so all of them have the same ForgingSeed? If we make them different perhaps they will not know how to fix it?

[opensuse-kde] Changes in KDE4:Unstable repo
by Raymond Wooninck 21 May '10

21 May '10

To keep compliant with the KDE 4.5 plans (especially around kdepim), I have made some changes in the KDE4:Unstable repository. These changes will become active as soon as the newest snapshot will be published The standard kdepim4 (kmail, agregator, blogilo, kjots, kaddressbook, kdpim4- runtime, etc) and will now be build from the 4.4 kdepim sources. The packages will have the older version numbering to make everybody aware. The kdepim4 package based on trunk, will also still be build in the same repository. However the packages will have an additional -45 at the end of their names (e.g. kmail-45, agregator-45, etc). Unfortunately both packages can not co-exist on a system, so the choice has to be made which ones to install. This change will be reverted again after the release of 11.3 (when the KDE 4.5 packages will be moved to the KDE4:Factory repo.

[opensuse-kde] KKFD NetworkManager-kde4 broken on 11.2
by Tejas Guruswamy 18 May '10

18 May '10

Hi guys, As I started my machine after the latest zypper up, I found the following recent commit has broken NetworkManager for KDE:KDE4:Factory 11.2 users for obvious reasons (we got the updated NetworkManager-kde4 from KKFD, but not NetworkManager, so no dbus conf) +Fri Apr 23 10:20:23 UTC 2010 - bili(a)novell.com + +- Add a general frontend dbus configuration in NetworkManager + so delete the conf in knetworkmanager, bili(a)novell.com(bnc#476502). Since a lot of people use 11.2 + KKFD I thought it would be best to publicise the workaround as soon as I experienced this. Put the new dbus conf from factory NetworkManager [ http://pastebin.com/5X7x9JHY ] in /etc/dbus-1/system.d as NetworkManager-frontend.conf also available on build.oo from the Factory NetworkManager package I know that backwards compatibility shouldn't hold back development, but it would be nice if this change was made in a way that didn't kill 11.2 users. Solutions might be an ugly specfile hack or to somehow provide new NetworkManager to 11.2 users. I know its in GNOME:Factory, but I'd rather not add that massive repo if I didn't have to. Is it sensible to have KKFD aggregating factory NetworkManager as a sort of backport for 11.2 users? Anyway there will probably be quite a few surprised users, knetworkmanager pops up a really scary dialog on reboot after this change, saying sth like "Knetworkmanager cannot provide user settings ... Knetworkmanager will not start on startup ever again", so here's your heads up.

Hello List Since i have upgradet to KDE 4.3.3 on openSUSE 11.2 the packagekit Module for the kupdateapplete is not working anymore. There are no users anymore defined in the KDE Systemettings to be allowed to Update the System, and it is not possible to add them again because the "Add User" Buttom is even not working. This is really bad, because in this way only root is allowed to do security updates with yast or zypper. Is there a way to fix that ?

[opensuse-kde] Missing kde3 packages for factory
by Dave Plater 11 May '10

11 May '10

Hi, I've quickly scanned the previous thread about the subject of this message and didn't find a reason why the kde3 factory repo doesn't have any packages (also looked at the build service project and somebody has osc wipebinaries it and disabled publishing). I've just updated to factory and I have one very important (to me) package missing, ark. See : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218891 marked as a duplicate of : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162052 I need an ark that enables me to select an existing .tar.bz2 file as a new file and then add to it, kde4 ark doesn't allow this and looking at the bug it's not going to for a while. That's why I need kdeutils3 for factory. There's another missing tool that I use for fixing packages, kdevelop3. Kdevelop4 just doesn't shape up to kdevelop3 for importing existing projects and it's considerably different to kdevelop3 and will take time I don't have to learn. I've fixed kdesvn3's build and linked kdesvn3, kdevelop3 and kdeutils3 in my home:plater:kde3 project to build for factory. It's nice to see that most of kde3 has made it to 11.3 but it's a pity that the kde3 repo hasn't. Can I at least submit these packages to kde3community or maybe they need a maintainer, I volunteer for that.

[opensuse-kde] Update to kde unstable desktop breaks pm-hibernate
by Dave Plater 08 May '10

08 May '10

Hi, when I updated to kde4 unstable pm-hibernate stopped working just failed silently. I built the version from Base:System/pm-utils for kde4 unstable 11.2 and it now functions again. It's in : http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/plater/KDE4_Unstable/ if anyone has the same problem.

[opensuse-kde] Confirm some dataloss bugs in Korganizer
by Dotan Cohen 07 May '10

07 May '10

Can other KDE users please triage these dataloss bugs in Korganizer in KDE 4.4: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172464 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=226394 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=228674 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236563 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=236658 Each one should take less than a minute to triage. Dataloss is a huge issue and I fear that it is not getting the attention that it deserves. Hopefully if some other users confirm the issues then the bugs will get priority.

[opensuse-kde] How is kde4 PIM in openSUSE-11.3?
by Richard Bos 07 May '10

07 May '10

Hello, is there already somebody that tested or uses the PIM (personal information manager: kontact, kmail, korganizer, akregator, etc) in the upcoming openSUSE 11.3? I think that OS-11.3 comes with KDE-4.4 Because this version uses more of the nepomuk features it (that is the PIM suite) might be slower. I'm curious to kde-4.4 pim experience. This user is not too happy about it: http://aseigo.blogspot.com/2010/05/i-dont-need-no-stinking-nepomuk- right.html?showComment=1273024038515#c5551691194334412076 -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Kde4 factory desktop 11.2 plasmoid problems
by Dave Plater 06 May '10

06 May '10

Hi, I've been running factory desktop on 11.2 for quite a while, I won't have the cap available for an upgrade to 11.3 until next week and my favorite plasmoid yawp is now broken in fact every plasmoid I've tried so far no longer works. I quite happily report bugs when they occur but I'm also busy with package maintenance as well. What do I have to do to fix these problems so as I can get on with normal life? Someone please point me in the right direction, I checked the cmake options for yawp and received the error : CMake Error at /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake:1178 (message): Qt compiled without support for -fvisibility=hidden. This will break plugins and linking of some applications. Please fix your Qt installation. Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:95 (FIND_PACKAGE) CMakeLists.txt:23 (FIND_PACKAGE) Could this have something to do with the problem? I have three paths I can go down : 1) help get this bug fixed as quickly as possible. 2) downgrade to kde4 stable and chew up half a precious gig of internet cap 3) upgrade to unstable which may cause more problems than I have now and mess up kwrite, kdesvn and other apps I rely on, not to mention the internet cap which I will need for factory updates. Please help. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] RPMLINT errors in packages and conventions
by Johannes Obermayr 02 May '10

02 May '10

Hi, I tried several times submit requests for my gluon package to KDE:KDE4:Playground. It was every time declined because of some (really) harmless errors (it works and that is the main goal!). Last #39260: "Reviewed - please fix : gluon-creator.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-missing-suffix libgluon.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-missing-suffix Your package containing shared libraries does not end in a digit and should probably be split. libgluon.x86_64: W: shlib-policy-nonversioned-dir /usr/lib64/gluon Your shared library package contains non-versioned directories. Those will not allow to install multiple versions of the package in parallel." When comparing with kdebase4 [K:K:U:D] I am asking me what is worse-rated. When comparing with kdegames4 [K:K:U:D] I see something criticized in #38639 (structure of spec file). Please note: I am not a developer. I am study as a civil servant in Germany and my exams are in Sep. So I have to learn something about law, order and federal administration but not programming ...
