[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] Further changes for KDE:Unstable:SC repository
by Raymond Wooninck 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

As that the renaming of the openSUSE KDE related repositories has been completed, it is time to introduce the second step for the KDE:Unstable:SC repository. The intention is to minimize this particular repository to the pure KDE SC weekly snapshots from trunk and the required libraries/applications for building and running the Unstable desktop. All other applications (e.g. Amarok, Konversation, etc) will be moved out to the other repositories. With the new snapshot 4.5.62 a couple of … [View More]

[opensuse-kde] qca-ossl
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 31 Jul '10

Hello Mates, just a question. In the kde-extragear List gdebure says, that skrooge in the last version needs qca-ossl as runtime depency. Has anyone this build in the OBS, or planned?

[opensuse-kde] PulseAudio for KDE in 11.4
by Will Stephenson 30 Jul '10

30 Jul '10

After management found some loose change down the back of the sofa at the end of the quarter I spent it on some Bluetooth kit including a headset to test the new Bluedevil KDE Bluetooth UI. This morning I got the headset working with KDE SC 4.5. I would like to discuss testing PulseAudio for KDE in openSUSE 11.4. I hope that by then our crash test dummies who are already using PA will have run over all the major, frequent bugs in implementation and deployment for us. The advantage over … [View More]plain ALSA that appeals to me is allowing the user to do some useful configuration of her audio environment with UI tools, as this covers the (for example) Bluetooth case of configuring music/effects to come out of the speakers while VOIP calls are handled by a headset. I guess you can do that with ALSA but it will probably be a static setup and there is no KDE UI for it. Since KDE SC 4.5 there is a nice UI for configuring PulseAudio's Phonon backend, and KMix supports dynamic PA mixers and application audio streams. When 4.6 is released there will be a speaker setup System Settings module that can let you select audio processing depending on your speaker setup and configure audio profiles for devices. The other reason for embracing PA is that it's not going away from the distribution. At the moment (11.3) we have kept the zombies away from our sound cards on the KDE CD by removing anything that uses it, but this is fragile - most users will soon install other software that pulls in PA as a dependency. By testing out PA now we can help fix bugs in the KDE infrastructure and discover problems with the rest of openSUSE's KDE multimedia stack (eg see how Phonon VLC works with PA. FWIW, the steps I had to take to get the headset working with KDE:Distro:Factory on 11.3 are: (steps we would preconfigure OOTB for 11.4) * install pulseaudio, pulseaudio-module-bluetooth and pulseaudio-module-x11 * register KDE:Unstable:Playground repo * install bluedevil and start it with Service Manager (or relogin) * uninstall kbluetooth (not necessary but removes confusion due to 2 bluetooth icons) * start pulseaudio manually (or relogin) * execute start-bluetooth-x11 and start-bluetooth-kde * from the Bluetooth system tray, Manage Devices... * Put the headset into pairing mode * Add Device and run through the wizard with default settings. * Click 'trust' in the Bluetooth Device Manager. * restart kmix (or relogin) * Play some music * In kmix, open the mixer window and go to playback streams, right click the eg amarok stream and select 'Move' to the headset device. Make sure the stream and the headset playback device are not muted. The last step won't be necessary once we rebuild kdebase4-runtime with PulseAudio support, since then the Phonon KCM allows phonon sound categories to be routed to specific devices. Thoughts?
