[opensuse-kde] New entries in kdelibs and how they come down in the distribution
by Freek de Kruijf 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

A month ago I added upstream some entities to user.entities somewhere in kdelibs. Upstream there is only one location, in trunk, to add something to kdelibs. Currently in KDE:46, my current KDE environment, the file /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/nl/user.entities still has the old version. So I just copy the new version in that location to make it work. Is there a procedure in openSUSE to put this new file, and others, also in all the KDE repositories? -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.7.3 for openSUSE 12.1 ?
by phanisvara das 14 Nov '11

14 Nov '11

is there an estimate when 4.7.3 will be available for oS 12.1 ? i used K:D:F for openSUSE factory for my 12.1 install, which works at the moment, but i'm expecting trouble with the next major update to either oS 12.1 or K:D:F repos -- openSUSE factory is moving away from 12.1, after all. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] A question about... questions.
by Roger Luedecke 13 Nov '11

13 Nov '11

I have started a new blog about openSUSE, and wondered if it would be OK to ask questions (individual or grouped) for the purpose of clarifying things in my blog. I wanted to make sure it was not considered an offensive misuse or waste of time before I did so. Here is the link to the blogs initial post which explains what I'm doing. http://opensuseadventures.blogspot.com/2011/11/beginnings- introduction.html -- The average income of the modern teenager is about 2 a.m. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] RC2 LiveCD KDE test complete: findings.
by Roger Luedecke 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Progress bar missing on bootsplash. Kde desktop took very long time to show sound in tray and the clock was the wrong size for about two minutes. No startup sound. "System Policy prevents modification of personal network settings", but connects anyway. After Wi-Fi connected, desktop becomes unresponsive briefly. Firefox asks for user profile. Oxygen looks good on Firefox. No sound from Firefox, though sound works in Kaffeine and Amarok. Desktop Walnut, is unmovable (lag problem). Nepomuk not running error. Activity Manager icon looks out of place. Walnut corrected, problem due to slow initial desktop. Applications launch very slowly. New Oxygen skin and icons look very good. YaST assumes correct oxygen and colors. Software Management assumes different skin and green buttons. All YaST modules do this, though the control panel appears correctly. Recommend using that color scheme as default. Kmail imap performance seems good. Desktop slow in general... seems odd. Clementine missing. Apper runs. Was not able to check cd_emu due to desktop slowdown. I was taking notes as I went, so forgive the messiness. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Request for a more tunable kde
by Joop Boonen 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi all, I wonder if kde on openSuSE could be more tunable or if there could be a netbook/smartbook setting without nepomuk and other programs in /usr/share/autostart or that a user can select himself what should be started up automatically. I don't use nepomuk at all, and it has a negative effect on the performance of my system I would like to disable it permanently. If now i now remove the link from /usr/share/autostart it will be there again after a zypper dup and maybe an update. I think if this option doesn't exist, kde won't be usable on an ARM device.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.7.3 and keyboard layout switching
by Andrea Turrini 07 Nov '11

07 Nov '11

Hi all, I have just updated my oS 11.4 to KDE 4.7.3 using the repo K:R:47 and I have noted that the keyboard layout switching is no more working as before. (I have performed a logout and a login after the update.) I have set up three different layouts (us, it, de) and as shortcut I set up Ctrl-Alt-K (alternative shortcut; main and 3rd level shortcut are "none"). This is exactly what I had in KDE 4.7.2 where everything worked right. Now I have the following problems: 1) the shortcut does not change layout; 2) clicking on the flag in the systray changes layout only between us and it; 3) opening the contextual menu, I see "us - USA", "it - Italy", "-- -", an horizontal line (like a separator) and "de - Germany"; 4) if I remove and add again the layouts, or if I choose de from the contextual menu, then clicking on the flag proposes correctly all the three layouts and "-- -" and the separator has disappeared from the contextual menu; 5) if I try to use the shortcut, then I come back to points 1,2, and 3. Is someone experiencing the same behavior? Best, Andrea -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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?
