[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?
by Richard Atcheson 24 Jun '10

24 Jun '10

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. This doesn't fix the problem above, but several other ones knetworkmanager has. > [...] Herbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Here I want to comment the technical problems. I created home:RedDwarf:kde_defaultapps where I put all the, I hope, fixes for the problems I found. 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). I expect this to be needed in more cases, any better solution? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE SC 4.4.4 for openSUSE 11.3
by Will Stephenson 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

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
