[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] Black background with Suse 11.2 and KDE4
by John G Walker 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

I've been running KDE4 with Suse 11.2 for some months now, with no problems. Yesterday, the background to my screen suddenly went black. Open windows were unaffected, but I could see my theme, the task manager, etc. I couldn't open any programs other than the ones already open (and ones that they launch). This problem was system-wide, in that it affects all accounts on my machine. I thought I'd solved the problem after discussion with someone by email, by forcing KDE to recreate itself. I did this by mv ~/.kde4 ~/oldkde4 then relogging. This, in itself, seemed to make matters worse, so I went mv ~/.kde4 ~/newkde4 mv ~/oldkde4 ~/.kde4 and relogged. To my surprise, everything worked thereafter for a few hours. I think this was coincidence, because, after a few hours, the same thing happened and the "fix" didn't work anymore. I checked .xsession-error and it says /etc/X11/xim: Checking whether an input method should be started. sourcing /etc/sysconfig/language to get the value of INPUT_METHOD INPUT_METHOD is not set or empty (no user selected input method). Trying to start a default input method for the locale en_GB.UTF-8 ... There is no default input method for the current locale.

[opensuse-kde] Repo publish flags and upstream release management
by Will Stephenson 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

So I just spent an afternoon trying to figure out why Choqok from KUP's plugins don't load, and it was the old chestnut that KPluginLoader doesn't permit plugins built with a newer version of kdelibs than is installed to load. This happened because Choqok in KUP built vs KDF is built vs the unpublished KDE 4.5.1 from KDF, and I still have KDE 4.5.0 installed. Can we make sure and disable publish in the dependent repositories of projects building vs KDF when we disable publish in KDF during integration of a new upstream version? This means 1) disable publish in all KDF repos 2) disable publish in KDE:Extra openSUSE_*_KDE_Distro_Factory 3) disable publish in KDE:Unstable:Playground I've made a feature request in the OBS to warn when not doing this: https://features.opensuse.org/310454 but until then please be careful.

[opensuse-kde] KDE:KDE3 issues
by Ilya Chernykh 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Hi people. I suggest you all to subscribe to opensuse-kde3(a)opensuse.org so I could send e-mails directly to this mailing list. I have several questions, suggestions and clarifications regarding status of KDE:KDE3. - First of all I have to announce that we completed for the most part moving of packages from KDE:Communitry. It has been done much quicker than by the KDE4 team. Some packages are not moved because they have problems either with build or during runtime. Some packages like ksquirrel have well-known security issues. I do not know should we include them in KDE:KDE3 or not. - It seems that some packages were disabled for Factory. Namely, kdemultimedia3 and anything related to Beagle. Please tell me the actual reason or the disabling. I can add to KDE:KDE3 repository any libraries needed for the build. For example, I can restore kdemultimedi3. Or are there any other reasons for the disabling? Beagle in particular is essential for finding topics in KDE help system. - I am planning to add some soft dependencies to some basic KDE packages to improve user's experience. For example, it would be good in my view if kdebase3-workplace recommended kde3-knemo and desktoptext-config. Also some plugins may be recommended. Please tell me if this is against OpenSUSE packaging policy. - I have long-range plans to include Qt3-based versions of Yast2, VirtualBox and Firefox. If somebody has experience in compiling Firefox for Qt3, any help welcome. - OpenSUSE maintainers, what's your opinion about possibility to include KDE3 option to OpenSUSE? The basic part of KDE3 (including kicker, konq, ksysguard, kcontrol) is already included (to be precise, it was never removed from OpenSUSE), but the ability to logon on KDE3 is disabled. The status of KDE3 repository has improved considerably in recent times, so it may look reasonable to reconsider KDE3's status. To enable a user to install KDE3 on his system we need to include only a tiny package kdebase3-session which takes only 4 kb, this package includes the .desktop file for the session manager so the user could choose KDE3 on the logon screen. - Besides this one can consider including KDE:KDE3 repository in the list of community repositories along with the Education repo etc so a user could be able to install the full version of KDE3 from the community repo. - Some KDE3 packages (koffice, pdfedit) currently experience problems with building for Factory 32-bit architecture. This is not a KDE3 bug, but an issue of brocken zlib in Factory, it was also observed on other distributions. I have reported a bugreport: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=634995 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Will Stephenson <wstephenson <at> suse.de> writes: > > This is to hammer out the details of the stable KDE 4.5 repo Thanks for working on this! I am very interested in seeing a "Current Stable KDE Releases" repo that offers official KDE 4.x and 4.x.y releases that does *not* depend on openSUSE factory and which will *not* introduce the instability of beta/dev snapshots. Thanks for your time! > > a) Naming > > I don't think this should go under top level KDE: since we will have other > versions. Perhaps KDE:SC:45 or KDE:Release:45? I like the idea of KDE:Release:45. Presumably this would offer 4.5.0, and then 4.5.1 and 4.5.2 as they are officially release by KDE? Then we could have KDE:Release:46 whenever 4.6.0 is officially stable. > > c) Update frequency/policy > > This is a question for the maintainers.

This would allow 'good > builds' to go out as updates without surprises like Akonadi PIM. Sorry, I'm not a maintainer and I can't contribute to this project. But my personal opinion is that this should be a combination of both official KDE releases and updates as decided by maintainers. KDE has been quite conservative recently (as with the KDE PIM thing), so I think we can trust all their 4.x.y releases. Additionally, some really irritating bugs are sometimes fixed before the next KDE bugfix release comes out, so it might be good for the maintainers to have that option available to include bugfixes in midcycle. Another request: Would it be possible to include delta rpm patches in this repo to save openSUSE and the users a whole LOT of bandwidth?
