[opensuse-kde] Problems with Nepomuk and Krunner
by Vojtěch Zeisek 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

Hi, have anyone faced those 2 issues? 1) I love Krunner, it is fantastic application alloowing me to very qucikly launch any application. But regularly I face it stops working. I just normally work, I wish to open another program (regardless what is it), so I pres alt+f2 and nothing happens... Even starting krunner in command line does not help... Very often also pressing ctrl+esc does not show system monitor. It is REALLY annoying. Any idea what to do with it? See this: $ krunner & [1] 9791 $ <unknown program name>(9791)/: Communication problem with "krunner" , it probably crashed. Error message was: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply" : " "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." " What does it mean? 2) I have Nepomuk / Strigi / Virtuoso / Akonadi turned on to index my home directory. I have over 300 GB of data there, so I gave to it some time, but after months it (mainly Virtuoso) still consumes huge amount of CPU. And it turns itself off when screensaver is running and I do not use the computer and turns itself on when I work... Very stupid. Indexing does not work at all... Krunner does not find files indexed by Nepomuk. So only results are huge DB with index and consuming of CPU. Does it work for anyone? I use KDE 4.4.5 with openSUSE 11.2. I use OBS repos KDE:Extra, KDE:UpdatedApps and KDE:Distro:Stable.

[opensuse-kde] X crashes
by Anne Wilson 27 Sep '10

27 Sep '10

OpenSUSE appears to run quite happily for several days at a time, then without warning I am dropped out of X, seing briefly a page of scrolling error messages (not long enough to read them), then ending up at the login screen. kdm.log reports problems with the Intel display manager. http://pastebin.ca/1945131 might give some idea of what's happening. Is there anything I can do to improve the situation? I presume I should file a bug report too, but to whom? OpenSUSE, KDE or Intel?

[opensuse-kde] 32bit-Oxygen-Package for x86_64
by Marcel Witte 25 Sep '10

25 Sep '10

Hello, if you are using 32bit-qt4-apps (e.g. Skype) you cannot use the oxygen-style in this apps. This annoyed me a long time. Now I have branched the oxygen- transparent-package in Playground to test if it is possible to build an 32bit- package for this and it works. I put the following packages in an extra- package and create the baselibs for it: %{_libdir}/liboxygenstyle.* %_kde4_modulesdir/plugins/styles/oxygen.so Using Skype, this prefectly works. Shouldn't this work also with the normal kdebase4-workspace, to get this to the standard-repositories? I haven't tried this. You can try my packages at home:balta3:branches:KDE:Unstable:Playground/oxygen-transparent Greets, Marcel -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE PIM and mobile device syncing news
by Tejas Guruswamy 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

All, Just wanted to pass on some information to those of you who are interested in syncing your KDE PIM data with mobile devices. Basically after a long time of stagnation some development is going on again and we'd like to get more users testing stuff. Some of you may remember KitchenSync, the KDE OpenSync frontend on KDE 3.5; and how it was doubly abandoned by OpenSync moving from 0.22 to 0.3x and KDE moving from 3.x to 4.x. Well, I've resurrected it for KDE SC 4 + OpenSync 0.22 (the current, shipped version of OpenSync) [1]. Please test and give feedback. Meanwhile development on the KitchenSync OpenSync 0.3x branch has also restarted (see [2]) - however that's waiting on the release of OpenSync 0.40, which now almost three years late and counting. I've also finished the porting of the kdepim plugin to KDE/Qt 4; that lets you sync with KAddressbook, KOrganizer, and KNotes (KDE SC <= 4.4). Be warned that note syncing is currently broken because of bko#251914 [3] (patch available there), I'll try and push a fix to the openSUSE KDEPIM packages at least. For now a fixed knotes is available in obs://home:MasterPatricko:sync [4]. I've also written a brand new akonadi-sync plugin [4] to sync OpenSync 0.22 with akonadi ( i.e. KDE SC >= 4.4 ). This is not to be confused with the OpenSync 0.3x version available on KDE SVN - which is, again, waiting for OpenSync 0.40. OpenSUSE packages for all this are available in home:MasterPatricko:sync; I'll send relatively stable snapshots to KDE:Unstable:Playground too. If you weren't aware, OpenSync provides plugins to sync with Blackberrys, Windows Mobile devices, mobile phones over USB, bluetooth, and IR, Google Calendar, Evolution, and Mozilla Sunbird/Lightning among others -- see http://www.opensync.org, though its slightly out of date.

You can use the procedure to install KDE3 instead of KDE4, and substitute http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/45/openSUSE_11.1/ for the KDE3 repo. http://en.opensuse.org/KDE3 http://omgsuse.com/content/kickin-it-old-school-kde3 Since you're planning to reinstall, I recommend 11.2 instead, since 11.1 doesn't have much support life left, but is much more like 11.1 than 11.3 is, with less beta software in the base OS. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] Updating d-bus in KDE:Distro:Factory and KDE:Release:45?
by Cristian Morales Vega 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

A search of "dolphin D-BUS 1.3" in Google shows a lot of examples of Dolphin instability, that seems to trigger also to openSUSE. The problem seems to be in D-BUS... never fixed in 1.2.x. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208921 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17754 Now that dbus 1.4 has been released (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dbus/2010-September/013378.html) and packaged in Base:System, should it be added to KDE:Distro:Factory and KDE:Release:45? No idea about if that could cause any problems with other parts of the system, but reading the bug comments it seems to be triggered also by other parts of KDE. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] strigi indexer cannot run
by Malte Gell 23 Sep '10

23 Sep '10

Hi there, I run KDE 4.3.5 on openSUSE 11.2 x86_64 When I try to enable the strigi indexer KDE says "strigi service cannot run probably an installation problem". But, I have both soprano backends installed, redland and sesame. How can I debug this? Why does strigi not run?

Exactly the same steps (I use this on some of my activities). Background: The same Folder View logic is used both to put a folder view inside a widget and to put icons on the desktop when the Folder View activity type is used. So if you right-click inside the widget in the first case or anywhere on the desktop in the second case, you get the same 'Folder View Settings' item in the context menu. Please keep the list in CC - it spreads my advice more widely.

[opensuse-kde] Qt 4.7 migration
by todd rme 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

Now that Qt 4.7 stable is out, I was curious what the migration plan is, if any, for moving Qt:Stable, and thus Distro:Factory, to Qt 4.7. I am not pushing for a fast changeover, I am just curious what the timeline is. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
