[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] Could you readd openSUSE 11.1 build targets for KDE:Release:45 and KDE:Distro:Factory please
by Hans-Peter Jansen 13 Apr '11

13 Apr '11

Hi, could some kind soul with KDE: admin privileges readd these targets for the KDE:Release:45 and KDE:Distro:Factory projects at least? E.g: add this segment to the respective project: <repository name="openSUSE_11.1"> <path repository="standard" project="DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.1:Update"/> <arch>x86_64</arch> <arch>i586</arch> </repository> Thanks in advance, Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

I tried finding important fixes we might want to ship I couldn't search for duplicates so I had to stick to votes =/ Plasma crashes on logout https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264076 I couldn't reproduce (as aseigo) but there is alot of duplicates https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264076#c29 suggests which commits are important Digikam removes tags https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=264745 data loss! vlc hangs on open dialog https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=260719 very annoying bug and the commit got proper review hanging nepomuk query https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=246678 sounds like an important patch to improve virtuoso kwin shadow buggy https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=243890 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229164 removes the shadow implementation, kwin dev: "The shadow effect is known to be broken since at least 4.5." store luks passwords in kwallet https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=186783 just a feature request but lots of votes djvu crash in okular https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=266133 kget crash https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265681 (pretty big diff =/) There were some other interesting crash fixes but mostly on corner cases, I hope we'll do 4.6.1 through update though. Comments? I'll make submit requests for the ones that have a chance to get through to 11.4rc2, so please tell me what is accaptable and what not.

by phanisvara das 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

even though i'm using oS 64bit and never experienced this infamous plasma crash with newer nvidia drivers, i'm subscribed to a bug re. this. just now i received an email, where a 32bit user states: ----------------- I install new beta driver from ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/270.29/ and now plasma work! ----------------- https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=648718#c80 would be nice to know if this is a happy exception, or if this bug has finally been resolved. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] synaptiks 0.5
by todd rme 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Synaptiks was recently updated to 0.5 (now 0.5.2): http://synaptiks.lunaryorn.de/ However, this version is a rewrite in python. Should the openSUSE KDE version be updated as well? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Switching desktops
by Marc Chamberlin 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

There are times that I simply cannot grok the minds of developers and this is one of them... I have a laptop, with a touchpad that handles scrolling by touching it along the side of the touchpad area. With multiple desktops, this was resulting in an extremely annoying behavior (to me) in that I would inadvertently touch the side while manipulating the mouse cursor, and the freaking desktop would switch on me. So, I decided to track down where this behavior was set and the first LOGICAL place to look for it was in the KDE Desktop Settings > Multiple Desktops > Switching Seems like a REAL APPROPRIATE place for such a setting to be found, but no joy there! Nothing, nada about mouse scroll behavior... Not believing that this was a built in "feature" I hunted and hunted around and FINALLY discovered that by right clicking on the background to bring up the context sensitivity menu, selecting Desktop Activity Settings, one finds Mouse Actions here! Why here??? And there I found the miscreant setting for mouse scrolling set to switch desktops! Why make this so difficult? Either have this setting ability located in both places so it can be more easily found, OR just locate it in the KDE Desktop Settings along with the rest of the options for controlling desktop switching. What is the rational for having two different locations/mechanisms for switching desktops? openSuSE 11.3 KDE 4.4.4 Marc.. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

What is the rational for having two different > locations/mechanisms for switching desktops? AFAICS there is no rationale for it. This code has never been touched by a usability person, so the configuration is in the same logical place as the code that executes it (the path of least resistance for the coder method). My gentle recommendation is to channel your frustration into productive energy and work out a design which unifies the "virtual desktops->switching" UI with the "desktop settings->mouse actions" UI and the "workspace behaviour->screen edges->switch desktop on edge" UI in a usable way. Be prepared for bikeshedding, pushback from coders (since you're forcing them out of the path of least resistance), conflicting advice from armchair usability experts like me, and the siren call of "throw out all the features because making their configuration usable is too much hard work".

[opensuse-kde] Language pack of digikam/kipiplugins
by Freek de Kruijf 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

More than 2 years ago I changed the translation into Dutch for the message Add in extragear-graphics/kipiplugin_timeadjust.po in the KDE translation repository, because the translation was wrong. I just noticed that that translation is still not in openSUSE 11.3 KDE 4.5. Is there something wrong in copying these translations from KDE to openSUSE? Should I report it in bugzilla? -- fr.gr.
