[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

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

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.

[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] 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

[opensuse-kde] device-notifier widget in the default panel
by Atri 28 Jun '10

28 Jun '10

Hi! I noticed that in the default installation of the 11.3 RC1 KDE desktop, the device-notifier is not added to the panel by default. Is this by design, because I find the presence of this widget quite useful, and without it the desktop shows no notification at all if, for instance, a usb-disk is connected. Of course one can always add it, but then he would have to know about the existence of such a notifier widget in the first place. Would be glad to know why this has been disabled [as it was there by default in 11.2].

[opensuse-kde] How to expand things on the panel?

Somehow all the icons, etc., on the panel of my wife's computer are now all scrunched together to the left. I have looked at every setting I can find on the panel and nothing will get them back to 'normal.' How/what do I do to get them to spread along the panel like normal? Also, how do you stop the popup informational things whenever you place the cursor over an icon on the desktop or panel?

Take /etc/dbus-1/system.d/NetworkManager-kde4.conf from the old package and copy it back after installation of the new one. Explanation: This file has been moved to another RPM for openSUSE > 11.2 and because KKFD is related to the packages from openSUSE:Factory, it is missing for the older distributions. At least until the packages will be fixed for them. BTW: You can use plasmoid-networkmanagement instead of NetworkManager-kde4.

In the description of every package I explain why it's there. If somebody knows of a better way to fix them... The big, general problem, is that the InitialPreference system doesn't allows to set per-MIME preferences, only per-.desktop preferences. That means that apps need to do as Okular does and split its .desktop files. I'm going to patch Kaffeine/Amarok, but it would be better if upstream did it directly (reported in bugs.kde.org: #242292 and #242294).

Hi Gang Just like in the World Cup, we had a surprise result with the unfancied Version Whores getting a sneaky ball past the plodding Release Planning. We're shipping KDE SC 4.4.4 with 11.3 after all. We completed a review of the changes since 4.4.3 and satisfied ourselves that we won't cause more problems than we solve by including it post-RC1 Coincidentally this lets us give the test update system a thorough work-out. If you are using RC1, please register the update repo http://download.opensuse.org/update/11.3-test/ and you will find 4.4.4 there to install in a couple of days.

[opensuse-kde] Discussion about which should be the default applications
by Cristian Morales Vega 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Hi, As discussed in the latest meeting the default application selection in openSUSE/KDE is far from perfect. It's not a simple problem, but the first step to fix it is to define which apps should be the default apps for each filetype. I created a first draft at http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:KDE/Default_applications. I would like people to comment and to add new "Alternatives" and filetypes to the list. At http://wiki.opensuse.org/Portal:KDE/Default_applications/11.3_RC1 there is the list of all the registered MIME types in a new KDE installation on openSUSE 11.3 RC1 with its preference order for applications. There are two kind of problems that need to be fixed: - Some apps support some formats but that isn't reflected in its .desktop files (e.g. Amarok and AC3). Those need to be added to its "MimeType" entry. - Some apps are the default app just because of luck (Kaffeine). A high enough "InitialPreference" entry should be added in its .desktop files to ensure they continue being the default application if the user installs a new application that can handle the same MIME type. Notice that this doesn't means that "new apps became the default app", without "InitialPreference" the behavior is basically random. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Is this per folder? (I have 60 folders, and I'm sure some of the audience here has even more. That might result in an exercise in RSI if I have to check something for every migrated folder (and I can't make up valid enough use- cases where you'd want to keep parts of your cache only). The thing that most users want is probably "keep old data around for some time until I know kmail2 works for me". That's essentially "keep old data", but with an option to clean up later. Not sure how to implement that cleanly (maybe as something that runs when we ship 12.0, though.)

[opensuse-kde] migrating from KMail1 to KMail2 (and back?)
by Sebastian Kügler 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

Hi PIMsters, In the openSUSE team, we're currently planning the migration of our users from KMail1 to KMail2. The idea is to offer both options for some time and give the user the opportunity to switch when it fits her. You can read more details in this email: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-kde/2010-06/msg00066.html With this strategy, we hope to make users' lives easier by giving some transition time, and to make testing of the new Akonadi-based PIM easier by providing packages people can grind their teeth on. We intend to fully go with an Akonadi-based PIM for openSUSE 12.0, in early spring next year. I've seen that a lot of work is going into the migration of the users config + data, and I think that's great. The best marketing for the new PIM is users that had a smooth transition and talk about it. As you can see, we're a bit fuzzy on what will actually work in the migration process: - Are the two configs + data completely independant? - Can KMail1's config be kept, so users who try 2, and want to go back to 1 can do that easily? - Is the migration process destructive, so after migration, the KMail1 config + cached data is gone? - If so, which would be the files to backup, so we can communicate that to our users (this is documented somewhere, right? :))? Really looking forward to my Akonadi-based PIM, btw. Keep up the good work. :) Thanks for your insights, -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] RFC: KMail Akonadi migration in openSUSE
by Sebastian Kügler 16 Jun '10

16 Jun '10

Hi all, A couple of people (wstephenson, tittiatcoke, llunak, dirk, alin, krop and me were present) talked about how we could make the Akonadi migration of the PIM components smooth and pleasant for our valued users. We came up with the following plan: - In 11.3, we (obviously) ship KMail from 4.4, address book is akonadi-based, the rest isn't (that's what 4.4 upstream ships). - Users upgrading to KDE SC 4.5.1 (which contains supposedly the first Akonadi-based KMail) automatically keep 4.5.0's KDEPIM, so no Akonadi-based email. - Users that want to try KMail2 (*0) can install that, it'll replace KMail1 as package and migrate the data in so far that's possible (a migration tool is part of upstream PIM, so it should work at least for the upgrade). - In 12.0, which will be based on KDE SC 4.6.x, we'll ship Akonadi-based PIM from 4.6 by default (so we re-align with upstream). This proposal gives users a window of roughly 8 months in which they can decide to migrate to Akonadi, and those that just follow the stable releases and don't follow KDE's upstream releases will get migrated with 12.0. By 12.0, we'll also be able to ship some components that make use of the new Akonadi features, so we can make clear that the pain of the migration is worthwhile -- you're migrating to an already matured KMail2, and get some nice PIM integration, for example in Plasma (*1), on top of that. *0: needs checking if KMail1's config can be kept while upgrading, so it's possible to switch back and forth between the two, I'll check with the upstream PIMsters if that will work *1: I have some stuff up in my sleeve :-) Please comment on this if you think it's a good idea to go forward with this plan, or if you have better ideas.

[opensuse-kde] Repo re-structuring: idea for the second step
by Sven Burmeister 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hello everyone! I'd like to share an idea I had when looking at other distro'S update mechanisms for KDE repos. This idea is not necessarily changing the plans for the repository restructuring but a second step in order to solve the issue of users getting confused by the repo structure, no matter which repo structure is agreed upon. There are just too many bits that cannot be solved or explained via the structure of the repos but need some more guidance. Sven --------- Proposal: Hide the repository structure from the user. There are two types of users, update users and testing users. Update users might want: - Only security updates (recommended) - Backports only (minor risk) - minor KDE version updates (minor risk of regressions) - major KDE version updates (normal risk of regressions) + revert to KDE packages that came with [user's distro] Test users might want: (- help testing security updates) - help testing the next openSUSE version (risky) - help testing the next KDE version (very risky) The above options could be put into a systemsettings module. The user would not need to know anything about the repo structure, he just needs to know what he wants to do. The GUI enables the KDE Team to add more information and warnings while easing the testing and usage of KDE packages. And it does not have to worry about the repo structure being understandable by users. The systemsettings module would use kupdateapplet to check for changes and notify the user on KDE login. The actual repository structure could then be something like: (STABLE) KDE43 -- 11.1 -- 11.2 KDE44 -- 11.1 -- 11.2 KDE45 -- 11.1 -- 11.2 Backports -- 11.1 -- 11.2 Factory -- 11.1 -- 11.2 The module automatically picks the correct repo according to the user's settings and distro, i.e. it knows that openSUSE 11.2 was released with 4.3.5 and thus "minor updates" will always stay within KDE43 (unless the user picks scenario c)). A few scenarios: a) A 11.2 user picks "major updates", so currently he would get KDE44 and that repo would hold the 4.4.4 packages. As soon as KDE 4.5 is released, the systemsettings module package in KDE44 -- 11.2 is updated to regard KDE45 as the new repo for "major updates" and notify the user about this change on the next KDE login. If the user does not update he will stay on KDE44, i.e. be safe. b) Let's say KDE 4.5 will not work on openSUSE 11.1. Then the system settings module package in KDE44 -- 11.1 will never get updated to regard KDE45 as the repo for "major updates" and the user would be safe as well. c) A 11.2 user picks "major updates" and thus updates to KDE 4.4.4 from the KDE44 repo. After that he changes his choice to "minor updates". The systemsettings module now has to consider that although the user is on openSUSE 11.2 and has enabled "minor updates" he should still get the packages from KDE44. The same procedure would work if the user picks "help testing next KDE version" and thus updates to KDE45 but changes to "minor updates" before KDE46 is created. d) A 11.2 user wants to help testing the KDE packages for the next distro release without actually installing the new distro betas and thus picks "help testing the next openSUSE version" which will make the systemsettings module use the "Factory -- 11.2" repo. As soon as the KDE packages from Factory get released as part of a new distro version the systemsettings module package in that repo will also get updated and warn the user that the KDE version in Factory changed. e) A 11.2 user wants to help testing the next KDE version and thus picks the respective setting. He will then get KDE45 -- 11.2 and as soon as KDE SC 4.5 is released the systemsettings module package in that repo will get updated as well and warn the user. The systemsettings module cannot be part of 11.3 and I'm not sure it should be part of the distro because it might make "testing" packages too easy. So instead of it being part of the distro, the user can just install it via one- click. The GUI could look like this and include links to the wiki or another source of help and explanations: openSUSE KDE repository settings Current status and choice plus a button to execute that choice, e.g.: You are using KDE 4.4.4 and have enabled minor updates for KDE 4.4. [There are currently no new updates available] (This line depends on the user's choice below) or You are using KDE 4.3.5 and have enabled major updates for KDE [Click here to update to KDE 4.4.4] or You are using KDE 4.3.5 and have enabled updates for testing KDE for openSUSE 11.3 [Click here to update to KDE 4.4.3] or You are using KDE 4.5 RC1 and have enabled updates for testing the next KDE version. [Click here to update to KDE 4.5 RC2] or You are using KDE 4.5 RC1 and have chosen to revert to the packages that are part of openSUSE 11.2 [Click here to revert to KDE 4.3.5] If you want to update: [] Only security updates (recommended) [] Backports only, e.g. applications like amarok or digikam (minor risk) [] only minor KDE version updates, e.g. KDE 4.3.1 to KDE 4.3.5 (minor risk of regressions) [] inlcuding major KDE version updates, e.g. KDE 4.3 to KDE 4.4 (normal risk of regressions) [] revert to KDE packages that came with [user's distro] If you want to test KDE packages: ([] help testing security updates) [] help testing the next openSUSE version (risky) [] help testing the next KDE version (very risky) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Default application
by Cristian Morales Vega 08 Jun '10

08 Jun '10

Hi, I would like to understand how the default application is selected in KDE4. I have two files, * An AVI file that "xdg-mime query filetype" says has MIME type video/x-msvideo * A Matroska file that "xdg-mime query filetype" says has MIME type video/x-matroska And, * My ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list file only has an entry for application/x-bittorrent, so it's irrelevant. I don't think there is any other mimeapps.list file in the system. * None of the app's .desktop files have an InitialPreference(1) entry Looking at the Matroska file it seems the priority of apps is based on: * First, the exact MIME type. If an app only supports application/x-matroska it will have a lower priority than other app that supports video/x-matroska * Second the InitialPreference value * Third... the alphabetical order ¿!? But then I fail to see a logic for the AVI file. Since the four apps that support it (VLC, gnome-mplayer, kaffeine and MPlayer) support exactly video/x-msvideo I would expect them to be alphabetical ordered. And that's what happens with all of them but VLC, somehow VLC is the default app. So, could someone explain me the full logic to select the priority of apps? (1) that seems no documented... default value seems to be 1, not sure if it accepts non-positive values -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

With kde3 the api was readily available in a package but I was surprised to find that was not so for kde4 so until I tried to package it. Anyway it's packaged as kdeapi4 and kdeapi4-man for the man pages, I'm still fine tuning the package which takes a couple of hours to build. I was thinking that I could submit it to factory desktop and unstable linked to kdelibs4 to ensure that always reflects the latest kdelibs4.

[opensuse-kde] KDE repository structure status
by Lubos Lunak 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hello, for those who missed it in last meeting's minutes, there is now http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/RepositoryRenaming , which lists the current status with repository reoganization. Part of the page are comments and voting, so if you want, add yours according to instructions at the top of the page. The page will be used to make final decisions on the structure at the next meeting (hopefully, both me and Will are at Linuxtag at that time, so we will see). -- 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] Looking for working version of knetworkmanager and dbus
by CP Hennessy 01 Jun '10

01 Jun '10

Hi, An upgrade several weeks ago broke knetworkmanager for me. I've been able to survive by using cnetworkmanager but I want to get back to a correctly working system. My understanding is that some dbus parameters changed and I need to update my dbus files. My /var/log/NetworkManager shows something similar to this : NetworkManager: <WARN> get_secrets_cb(): Couldn't get connection secrets: Rejected send message, 13 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.12" (uid=0 pid=2096 comm="/usr/sbin/NetworkManager) interface="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerSettings.Connection.Secrets" member="GetSecrets" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" (uid=1000 pid=3533 comm="/usr/bin/knetworkmanager)). My debugging foo does not reach as far as dbus. I've tried several things and nothing has worked for me. Does anyone know which /etc/dbus-1 files I have to change and what it should look like ? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, CPH -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
