[opensuse-kde] KDE4.6.2 (on 11.4) Kmenu names not showing
by C 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

I've been poking at this one for a little while now without much success. Using openSUSE 11.4 and KDE 4.6.2. I've got a few applications - the games from HumbleBundle 2 - that have been added to the KMenu by their installers. When I navigate to the applications in the KMenu, the icons are showing, but there is no text next to the icons (Application name field is empty). A mouse hover shows the app names in grey text in the Description field. If I go to the KMenu editor and check the entries, they are filled in correctly - there is a name in the Name field, and the Description fields are all blank. If I add text to the Description field, save and exit the editor, the new Descriptions I've added are not shown on mouse hover, and the Application name is still not showing. Has anyone else seen this? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] to activities or not to activities
by Stephan Kulow 27 Nov '11

27 Nov '11

Hi, KDE 4.7's plasma is now centered around activities - breaking once more the way many of us work with KDE. Many on IRC voiced the oppinion that the activity manager shouldn't be part of the default plasma - including me. But this would be a major divergence with upstream's default, so I would like to discuss more widely first. What's your oppinion? Do you prefer virtual desktops or plasma activities?

[opensuse-kde] Easy image mounting?
by Roger Luedecke 09 Nov '11

09 Nov '11

One thing that was nice in OS X was the ease of mounting an image as a virtual disk. I rarely had use for this however until I got a netbook, which has no optical drive. Now when I have hoped to install certain games (running on WINE) this is unnecessarilly complicated, if not impossible due to the lack of optical drive and the lack of an easy mounting option. Can we be sure to add an easy way to mount disk images? Maybe just right click>mount image in Dolphin? I don't imagine it should be very hard to implement, and would be very useful... especially as more users are turning to netbooks and similar devices.

[opensuse-kde] Huge Drop In Responsiveness In 12.1 RC1
by Malvern Star 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Has anybody else noticed a huge drop in desktop responsiveness under 12.1RC1 as opposed to Beta1? When I finally managed to install 12.1 Beta 1 (had to use text mode to install due to an X11 segfault during the second phase), the system was quick and responsive; incredibly responsive in fact - I was impressed. Now in RC1, using the KDE desktop feels like wading through sand. I'm not sure what's causing it, but the graphical effects are extremely choppy (Radeon HD 5670 in my test machine), with what can only be described as a "low framerate" during actions such as maximising and minimising windows. Interestingly, I had the same experience with 11.4 - it was very fast right up until the release candidate stage and then something changed which slowed everything right down. The machine I work on every day runs 11.4 (with an Nvidia Geforce GT440) and is manageable, but KWin eventually (after perhaps a week or more) automatically disables desktop effects as they become too slow to use. I'd be content to blame the graphics drivers, but this has happened with cards by both Nvidia and AMD/ATI, with and without proprietary drivers. Can anybody explain what might have happened? Surely there shouldn't be such a radical difference in performance between a Beta and a Release Candidate?

[opensuse-kde] Multiple DM instances at boot
by Valerio Mariani 03 Nov '11

03 Nov '11

Dear All, I have the following scenario: I am using KDE and my wife is using Gnome. As a DM we use KDM. Now, from KDE I can switch user to Gnome, but not the other way around, as Gnome wants GDM, which I don't want to use (I prefer KDM). I am experimenting with a program called kdm-gdmcompatibility http://opensource.fsmi.uni-karlsruhe.de/projects/kdm-gdmcompat/ , but it seems not to be working with Gnome 3.2. So, I would like to be able to do the following: - either run a KDM instance on v7 and a GDM one on vt8 at boot, so I can use one to log into KDE and the other to log into Gnome. - or, it this is not possible, to run two KDM instances on vt7 and vt8 , and switch between them using CTRL+ALT. Can anyone tell me please if it is possible to achieve any of these options and how (I guess this should be put into an X configuration file)? Thank you in advance Valerio -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kde wallet integration in firefox
by George OLson 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

I am using firefox 7.0.1 and openSUSE 11.4 with KDE 4.7.00. Here is my question. When I open up firefox, it does not usually open up the kde wallet manager until I navigate away from my home page. It is not necessarily indicated by something on the page I go to, as it will open up the wallet manager when I go to a google search. There are some websites that I would like for the wallet manager to store field and password information for, but for some reason firefox does not ask if I want to remember the password on that page. I know that firefox is using kdewallet to store passwords, but I don't know why it works for some pages and not for others. Naturally I do not want to give out in a public forum like this which websites I am using, so I hope that doesn't make troubleshooting difficult. But nevertheless, I am wondering if there others have this problem and what you do about it. I did open up the exceptions window in firefox preferences and the websites I am having a problem with are not listed, so there is no reason that I can see as to why they should not work.

[opensuse-kde] Bluetooth infrastructure broken in 12.1, possible fix from upstream.
by Rafael Belmonte 30 Oct '11

30 Oct '11

All is explained in Novell Bugzilla Bug 725962: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725962 but I will make a summary: Bluetooth infrastructure is broken for many people in OpenSUSE 12.1 RC1, some people are having kded or plasma crashes, and other haven't crashes, but Bluetooth is neither working properly. I think a working Bluetooth is important nowadays, due to the big amount of mobile devices and wireless bluetooth-based devices like earphones... The problems seems to be curiously in networkmanager applet according to upstream, it causes a crash due to a pointer which is not tested before using it (as explained in the commit). This upstream commit could fix this issue then: http://commits.kde.org/networkmanagement/ff842ef744465d704ff609dbdbccff72c0… Please watch if someone could backport this commit to OpenSUSE 12.1 in order to have a release with a working Bluetooth. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

29 Oct '11

Hi everyone, I just finished reading this blog post: http://dantti.wordpress.com/2011/10/10/apper-released/ and I was wondering if it will be included in openSUSE 12.1. I remember that somebody asked this already but I cannot find the mail anywhere in the mailing list. If anybody can give a reply or point me to a previous reply I'll be grateful. Cheers, Ricardo. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] configure find / search field to be open on kwrite startup?
by dh 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

Hello all, I'd like to configure kwrite and konqueror such that the "Find / Search field" (the field that opens when you press ctrl+f, or use the edit->find menu) always opens on program start. I use this feature constantly and am willing to give up a few pixels of window height to have it always available. I've searched online and looked at the kwrite config file and handbook but had no luck. I also checked the command line options for kwrite but did not find what I am looking for. Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks, see ya dh -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Dolphin shows an endless progress bar "Updating system configuration…"
by Křištof Želechovski 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure AbiWord is not installed. 2. Tell Dolphin to open <URL: file:///usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/en/dolphin/index.docbook >. 3. Tell KSUSEInstall to install AbiWord. Actual results: 4. YaST2 installs AbiWord 2.8.6 5. Dolphin shows a modal dialogue box "Updating system configuration…" with a progress bar. 6. The progress bar advances to about 90% and restarts. Loop step 6 forever. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
