[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] Why should an unstable released package be favoured over a stable svn package?
by Dave Plater 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi, I've been trying to submit an svn derived version of KTrafficAnalyzer to KDE:Extra, the package used to be in the old kde3 community repo and has been around in openSUSE for quite a while. It's been ported to kde4. I've been using the package from the authors home project and it occasionally crashed and lost the usage stats but after my recent update from KDE:Distro:Factory it consistently segfaulted on start up. This is a good thing that enabled me to track down the problem and patch it. It's now stable on a patched svn revision 44 so I decided to submit this very usefull package to KDE:Extra and am quite happy to maintain it as I use it all the time and it's a simple package only to have it rejected on the grounds that it's svn derived. This seems a bit stupid because the released package is unstable and even has a source forge bug against it from an openSUSE 11.3 user. I've had problems submitting a package fix to KDE:Extra before but in that case the maintainers reply was rather rude that issue was simply bad communication and was resolved and that particular maintainer accepted my second submit attempt of KTrafficAnalyzer pointing out that there wasn't a Url: in the spec file and asking me to fix it. I decided to patch the released tarball to svn 44 and submit that along with the fixed spec file but alas the first anti subversion maintainer caught the request and declined it. I was under the assumption that I'm helping to make openSUSE a better distribution but my encounters with KDE:Extra have made me think that that particular repository is an ego circus, it's easier to get a new package into Factory than into KDE:Extra, I've two new packages in 11.3 one of them totally new to openSUSE and one that the previous maintainer didn't have time for so it was dropped so I speak from experience. The point of this email are the questions :- am I flogging a dead horse trying to be a useful member of the community? Why do I get the impression that KDE:Extra is maintained a an exclusive club?

[opensuse-kde] libraw1394 update
by Dave Plater 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

Hi, I don't know if it's of any consequence but libraw1394.so.8 is required by kdebase4-workspace and will become libraw1394.so.11 by next week and there's a change in the way it handles streaming video. It might be a good idea for me to update at the same time as KDF.

[opensuse-kde] KDE does not start after latest update 2010-09-24
by Freek de Kruijf 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

This morning Fri, Sept. 24, 2010 I did a "zypper up" using openSUSE 11.3 and having KDE:Distro:Factory as the main KDE repository. After that a problem that emerged also in February 2010, did occur again: kdm does not start with the following message in /var/log/messages: Received unknown or unexpected command -2 from greeter Abnormal termination of greeter for display :0, code 127, signal 0 In February the solution was to wait for a further update of the repository. So that is what I will do. In the mean time do not update your KDE software if you have KDF as your main KDE repository. -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-kde] KDE panel auto hide reveal delay
by Alvin Beach 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hello all, Anyone if it is possible to increase the delay before a (auto-hide) panel is shown? I have a second panel at the top of my screen which is set to auto- hide. What I would like to be able to do is increase the delay it uses to show itself when the cursor is at the top of the screen. Is this possible?

[opensuse-kde] Using Google calendar with KOrganizer
by Malte Gell 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi there, Google allows to export the calendar with an *.ics URL so you can access the Google calendar with other applications like KOrganizer. Unfortunately the remote *.ics file is read only, so you cannot add an item in KOrganizer and write it back to Google. Is there a way to change this to edit the Google calendar locally in KOrganizer and upload it to Google?

[opensuse-kde] Qt and Phonon
by Cristian Morales Vega 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Someone can explain me the relation between Qt and Phonon? My problem is that Stellarium fails because it can't find "phonon/phonon" from #ifdef HAVE_QT_PHONON #include <phonon/phonon> #endif And libphonon-devel doesn't helps here. Looking at the Fedora Qt package it seems it can include libphonon itself, with an internal copy, or use an external libphonon... but using that external libphonon for some kind of specific Qt-Phonon thing. But looking at the openSUSE Qt package it seems the "Qt-Phonon thing" is ignored, and since libphonon is build from the external package, nothing related to Phonon is installed in the Qt package. Is this a bug in the openSUSE Qt package? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] A possible plasma bug.
by Dave Plater 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi, I've found a possible bug in KDE:Distro:Factory 11.3. When I tried to install yawp on my desktop it came up as a red block with an x and the tool tip said unknown widget. I tried other widgets and a few of them also exhibited the same behavior, unfortunately I didn't take note of the other widgets names. Next I changed to KDE:Distro:Stable and no longer had the problem. I see that KDE:Distro:Factory is undergoing a rebuild atm so possibly the problem was caused by me updating at the wrong time. My question is, should I report this upstream or to novel's bugzilla?

by Uwe der Linuxsusefan 28 Sep '10

28 Sep '10

Hi, K3b (Version 2.01) crashes when commenting on: K3b → Setup → Preferences → attempts to configure the tool. Without any error messages (startet from terminal) are approved by K3b screen. The tool shows the same Symbtome whether K3b KDE-Factory or from Packman repository is used. My system: OSS-11.3 32bit + KDE 4.5.1 (QT 47 + KDE 4.5.1 from Factory Depots) thanks in advance for your efforts ---- Hallo, selbiges Problem wie schon in anderer Liste (openSUSE-de): http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-de/2010-09/msg00976.html) Berichtet. K3b (Version 2.01) startet (zur besseren Fehlerdiagnose auch aus Konsole getestet) → Einstellungen → K3b Einrichten → und dann: Tschööö → K3B ;) Ohne jegliche Meldungen, macht K3b sich vom Acker und ward nicht mehr auf dem Desktop gesehen. Hab dann K3b aus dem Packman Depots und mal aus den KDE-Factory getestet mit den selben wie Eingangs erwähnten Ergebnissen. Mein System: OSS-11.3 32bit + KDE 4.5.1 (QT 47 + KDE 4.5.1 alles aus den Factory Depots) ---- Grüße aus dem Schwabenland, Uwe der Linuxsusefan Die SuSE sei mit euch, wo immer ihr seid ..... ..:::openSUSE-Member:::.. .:linuxsusefan@opensuse.org:.
