[opensuse-kde] KDE Branding HOWTO
by Will Stephenson 06 Jun '11

06 Jun '11

I've been finishing the branding work for 11.3 this week, and have been documenting how to do it as I go. The first draft is attached. Comments? If I was hit by a bus tomorrow, could you do openSUSE 11.4 branding? (Lubos doesn't need to answer that ;)).

[opensuse-kde] Fwd: Re: ksuseinstall URL text
by Will Stephenson 13 Jul '10

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: Re: ksuseinstall URL text Date: Friday 28 May 2010, 19:10:20 From: Javier Llorente <javier(a)opensuse.org> To: Will Stephenson <wstephenson(a)suse.de> BEGINS ==Repositories== Repositories are collections of Linux software. They can be used to extend your openSUSE installation with software that is not included in an openSUSE release for size or policy reasons, or to update it with newer software versions that were not available at the time of release. [Note: there are offline repositories as well (ie: DVD). ] Repositories may contain software of any trust level and may replace important system packages as well as adding new software. In addition, by combining many different repositories and installing their software, conflicts between software versions may arise which cause some packages to be uninstalled. Before registering arbitrary repositories to your openSUSE installation, you should consider these risks. The repositories suggested by the Community Repositories list in YaST's Installation Sources module are intended to be safe and free of conflicts. However, when installing or updating software you should always look at the proposed changes to make sure nothing is being added or removed that could compromise the integrity of your installation. If in doubt, do not continue. ==Debug packages== To help improve openSUSE, you can report bugs when a program crashes. The Dr Konqi application can install additional debug packages to improve the quality of this crash information. For openSUSE releases, these packages are contained in a separate repository due to their size. This repository is safe to add. [Note: this is not clear since you don't mention that safe repositiory] ==Multimedia Software== Support for proprietary formats and codecs is not shipped out-of-the box in openSUSE. Please see the [http://software.opensuse.org/codecsCodecspage] for more information on enabling proprietary formats.

[opensuse-kde] Qt Creator 2.0 released
by todd rme 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Qt has released the stable 2.0 version of Qt Creator: http://qt.nokia.com/about/news/qt-creator-2.0-released I think it should be compatible with Qt 4.6 since 4.7 is not out yet, but I am not 100% sure. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Eric 4.4.5 released
by todd rme 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Version 4.4.5 of the Qt Python IDE Eric has been released. The most recent version on the openSUSE repositories is 4.4.2, which was released in March. There is also a 5.0.0 release candidate. Maybe 4.4.5 can go in the KDE4:desktop and backports repository and 5.0.0 can go in KDE4:playground. Currently, at least in openSUSE 11.2, the KDE4:desktop repositories have 4.3.6, which was released in august, while the backports and KDE4:playground repositories have the more recent stable 4.4.2 version. It was at least my impression that KDE4:desktop and backports would normally have the same version of packages while playground would only have unstable packages. http://eric-ide.python-projects.org/eric-news.html -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

So I abanded this build. However I will package 4.4.5 in Community. It is to late in the release cycle for openSUSE 11.3 to have it moved to KDE4:desktop and backports. This will be done after 11.3 is released. Regards Raymond -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

But alas, no click and drag without a spacer. Must be my installation. Thanks for the try. I'll be looking for the disable tooltips thingie. I am glad to see I can now open Dolphin as root and click on a file and it opens in kwrite without having to go through all kinds of girations. Thanks developers.

[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] 11.0 users - 11.0 about to become unsupported
by Lubos Lunak 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

As hopefully all openSUSE 11.0 users know, 11.0 support will be discontinued by the end of this month (http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Linux_Lifetime) As a consequence none of the KDE repositories will build anymore for 11.0 following the date and the packages will be removed, so if you want them, the time to download/install them is now. It is of course recommended to upgrade your 11.0 to 11.2 or soon-to-be-released 11.3. -- 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] Enabling NetworkManager no longer switches from hardware id to host name in openSUSE 11.3 RC1
by Roman Bysh 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hello Listmates, In previous versions of openSUSE (by default), enabling the NetworkManager switched from "hardware id" to "Host Name". Hardware ID: CPE0xxxxxxxx-CM000xxxxx Host Name: opensuse In openSUSE RC1 it no longer works. It still uses the "hardware id" !! Can we please fix this now? Cheers!

[opensuse-kde] konqueror not loading view profiles from CLI argument
by phanisvara das 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

i'm runing KDE 4.4.5 (beta 2) on oS 11.2 quite happily. one thing puzzles me though: for some time i can't get konqueror to open any view profiles through command line arguments (incl. desktop shortcuts). this used to work all the time, from KDE 4.1 onwards, but some time recently it stoped. konqueror always opens the default (filemanagement) profile, no matter what profile i specify with konqueror --profile <profile name>. once started i can open profiles via settings -> load profile, so it's not a catastrophy, just annoying. i can't seem to find any KDE bugs in this regard and am wondering if i'm the only one experiencing this? -- thanks, phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
