Hi all, I have upgraded my laptop to 11.3 from 11.1 and everything works fine except hibernate and suspend options in the kicker menu only locks the screen and not do suspend/hibernate. If i run pm-hibernate or pm-suspend then everything works correctly and restarts correctly. Any ideas? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Explicit maintainers/bugowners for KDE:Extra packages
by Lubos Lunak 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hello, as said during the last IRC meeting, if a package in KDE:Extra does not have an explicit maintainer/bugowner set for the package itself (i.e. its maintainers/bugowners come from the repo-wide list), then it is considered to be maintained by the team as a whole. That means with all the consequences, such as the package possibly getting deleted if decided on this list. If you have a package in KDE:Extra that you consider to be "yours" and want to make sure you're notified in such cases, please ensure that you are set as maintainer or bugowner of the package (either set it yourself or ask as a reply to this mail). http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_Extra_repository#Maintaining_repository -- 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] Removing KDE:Community repository
by Lubos Lunak 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

You are receiving this mail because you are set as a maintainer or bugowner for the KDE:Community repository or a package present there. Any possible discussion should happen on the opensuse-kde(a)opensuse.org mailing list. To finish the reorganization and cleanup of the KDE repositories, the KDE:Community repository will be either renamed or removed (after a grace period). The reasons for this are: - KDE:Community contains software based on KDE3. Since openSUSE distribution no longer supports KDE3 and the KDE:KDE3 repository is poorly maintained, it is assumed that the majority of packages in KDE:Community is in a similar situation. For the KDE3 parts that are still maintained it would make sense to consolidate this effort only in one repository. - The naming of KDE:Community is based on the obsolete notion of community and "non-community" packages, which no longer applies to openSUSE, thus the name of the repository is obsolete and pointless. There are roughly these options: - You maintain a package in KDE:Community which is not KDE3/Qt3-based and you wish to continue maintaining this package - please move the package to a more appropriate repository (such as the KDE:Extra repository, see http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_Extra_repository). - You maintain a package in KDE:Community which is KDE3/Qt3 based and you wish to continue maintaining this package - please move the package to the KDE:KDE3 repository. You can ask for the opensuse-kde mailing list for any help such as getting maintainer rights for a package there (or even the whole repository if you are willing to help maintaining it, see http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3). - You don't care - just leave it as it is, the package will be eventually removed together with the repository. - Some other option - use the opensuse-kde mailing list for discussion. -- 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] KDE repositories status
by Lubos Lunak 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

Hello, for those you missed the last meeting and its conclusion on the KDE repository reorganization, the whole KDE structure is described at http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_repositories_maintaining . I've added also KDE:Qt* repos there, as well as KDE:Medias and KDE:Netbook, although I don't really know much about how those work. Could whoever feels reposible for those update the page? One repo still left at the top level of KDE: is KDE:Community, which will be removed, details in another mail. -- 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] Different vendors fo Extra and Playground

Hi, it would be nice if you could enable again to have different vendors for KDE:Extra and KDE:Unstable:Playground then the one for the main repos like KDE:Distro:* Christian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Todd, I will personally check that every package I move out of Unstable, is in KDE:UpdatedApps. If not, then I will validate if there was a version update and if so, I will place it in KDE:UpdatedApps. If there is no version update, then of course you would be able to find it in the standard distribution repo. If something does not work in this setup, then please let me/us know. Either through this mailinglist or on IRC (#opensuse-kde). Thanks.

[opensuse-kde] Where are categories in Address Book?
by Bob Williams 02 Aug '10

02 Aug '10

I've just upgraded to oS 11.3 + KDE4.4. I use Kontact for e-mail, addresses etc. and I've got several mail lists set up based on categories. These mail lists are still available in Kmail, but I cannot find how to add a category to a person's entry in the new look Address Book. Has it gone, or am I looking in the wrong place?

[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 them have already been moved to KDE:Unstable:Playground. These are the packages for Amarok, Choqok, Konversation and Rekonq. I also updated these applications to their respective latest svn/git snapshots.

Dear Todd, I believe that with the Beta cycle for KDE 4.5 it was the frst time that people switched over to the Unstable repository to get their hands on KDE 4.5. What must not be forgotten is that the Unstable Repository doesn't have most of the openSUSE patches in place, nor does it come with any warranty. Since already a couple of months we had the situation where the Amarok and Konversation packages in this repository were updated from trunk in the same frequency as the KDE desktop itself. The intention for the Unstable repository is that it would be co-installable besided the normal supported KDE desktop (KDE:Distro:Factory). This in the same manor as we had with KDE3 and KDE4.
