[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.

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.

[opensuse-kde] Add Colours button to change your monitor's color depth or bit depth
by Roman Bysh 23 Feb '11

23 Feb '11

Hello mates, I know we are very busy preparing for the openSUSE 11.4 RC2 and GM. But.. I'm proposing we add a "Colours" button to the Display and Monitor settings. This will allow the user to change the color depth via the graphics card. Color depth explained -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_depth ------------------------------------------------------------------- In SaX2 the button was named "Colours". Click on the following link to view how it looked in SaX2: http://en.opensuse.org/File:YaST-Monitor.jpg Since SaX2 was deprecated and "xorg.conf" was being phased out. All openSUSE users have been missing a very valuable feature to dynamically change the color depth. This could be integrated into KDE 4.6x - 4.7x revisions. The following shows a sample of different color depth settings. Example: * 32-bit * 24-bit * 16-bit * 8-bit This could be an interesting project for the Summer of Code 2011. I have submitted this feature below: https://features.opensuse.org/311322 -- Cheers!

[opensuse-kde] Why, when qtcurve crashes, do I lose my *plasma* settings?
by Jon Nelson 20 Feb '11

20 Feb '11

I was fiddling qtcurve settings a bit tonight. It's absolutely lovely, except when it crashes it takes *everything* with it. Big huge crash with dozens of crash windows. What surprises me is not the crash (annoying) but rather the fact that when I log back in my plasma desktop settings are *gone*. How is it that when KDE apps crash they sometimes take their config with them? I can't even tell you how many times I've lost KDE config (usually plasma desktop related) when something goes tilt. This has been an on-going issue since I first started using KDE4, around 4.2 or 4.3. I'm running KDE 4.6.0 from KR 46 on openSUSE 11.3 -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Bug strategy
by Karsten König 19 Feb '11

19 Feb '11

Heya, 11.4 is comming up quickly and there will be no general branch update for kde, so it's single bug fixing, they won't disappear by a sudden rush of changes anymore. The 11.4 release will propably see another increase again. So in the last meeting I raised a question how we could get better bug triage coverage especially validating bugs and finding possible upstream bug fixes. Bille had the idea of dedicated bug search querries and people who will cover them to increase the chance to gain knowledge in this area, the best example might be kdepim, validating a range of kmail bugs to upstream reports will be faster then switching from an okular crash to a plasma graphical glitch to a power munching kded process. This would include a general splitting up into groups: pim, workspace, defaults, random-apps Most important is finding out about upstream reports and possible patches, these save a ton of time and can be applied quickly, spotting regular reporters and inviting them into #opensuse-kde might be a good idea as well to get them about the team. There is a opensuse bug hunt on sunday http://news.opensuse.org/2011/02/16/open-bugs-day-on-sunday-the-20th-of- february/ It's 5 days before rc2 so it's a good time to find necessary upstream patches, test them in KDF and push to Factory before the deadline. (I'll have a very long saturday in Dresden so I hope I'll be fit to join) On the other hand timely handling incoming bugs helps keeping the bugreporters reporting bugs and getting required information that's often forgotten (the usual log files for example) http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_Screening_KDE#Bugreport_organization_in… explains a good way to screen the incoming stuff. Any comments on the issue? Other ideas? Am I making a fuzz about a non- problem?

I don't know about others, but unless a report turns up on bnc or I am affected myself I am not really willing to monitor bko for bugfixes after the release.

I support this for the post 11.4 release, polish 4.6.1 in KR46, submit it to KDS and ask people to help regression testing and push it into the opensuse update queue later. But this won't happen if we can't provide the opensuse:update watchers with a good reason and a solidly tested repo. It also won't happen if they flat out deny it, well then I'll just switch back to KDF and leave 11.4 to the people who think this will be more solid then a factory repo. > I gave up reporting to bnc because Will is too busy and most fixes will not > be allowed to get into the official updates anyway, so my time is better > spent reporting and testing upstream, i.e. on KR46 after 11.4 got > released. > > Sven Cheers, Karsten -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Where is the application kst?
by Freek de Kruijf 18 Feb '11

18 Feb '11

When I read the information about the KDE application kst e.g. on http://kst.kde.org, it looks as if there should be an executable /usr/bin/kst. However, when I install kst using the openSUSE repositories, only files in /usr/lib64/ are installed. After installation of the packet kst the command kst can not be found. Is there something missing in the kst packet? I should mention that a kst.pot did exist in the kde.org repository for KDE. However, currently such a file does not exist. I also searched websvn.kde.org and could not find the sources of kst. Very strange that kst.kde.org still exists and also openSUSE does have a kst packet. -- fr.gr.

Fair enough, we had our chance. If we find bugs we deem important on bko and can trigger them on opensuse will you accept such patches or not? We will document the upstream bugreport and clarify that we could reproduce on opensuse so I hope this fits your requirement of a well documentated fix.

That's the plan yes, but sometimes they also had bugs that weren't there before, I can't remember specifics, but I do remember point updates sometimes having unpleasent consquences, no show stoppers though. h > If that's not the case, we might as well not ship .1 versions and just ask > all distros to cherry-pick their updates from master.

I agree, there is alot of bkos mentioned in the commits and .0 to .1 is propably worth it, but the by current policy it is not an intended step this late in the release cycle and somehow this got overlooked, so we have to deal with the consequences. This can be begging coolo for an exception and maybe risking some last minute release delay or fixing the fallout later, with maybe bad press for the reviews. If we need another strategy to handle kde updates I suggest waiting a few weeks because right now 11.4 is on the plate and closing in fast. Am Donnerstag, 17.

[opensuse-kde] kalarm for kdepim46 crashes
by Stefan Vater 16 Feb '11

16 Feb '11

Hi, I am using openSUSE 11.3 (64 bit) with KDF and kdepim46 repos. Unfortunatelly, kalarm always crashes on startup and almost every time it is started manually. When I delete the ~/.kde4/share/apps/kalarm folder, kalarm seems not to crash the first time I use it. But at least at the first next restart of kde it crashes again. I suppose, it might have to do with the Qt patch needed, which was reported in [1]. But I am not sure. If yes, would it be possible to add a version of qt including this patch to the repos? That improve testing this version a lot ;-) Otherwise, I can also give some more information, file a bug report to kde, if needed.

[opensuse-kde] AI: KPK systray icon
by Martin Schlander 15 Feb '11

15 Feb '11

As everyone probably knows, KPackageKit is the default updater on 11.4 KDE systems. At the last KDE IRC meeting I got the action item to check if KPackageKit systray icons are "good enough"(tm). My findings are these: KPK will show the same systray icon to notify about all types of patches/updates (security, recommended, optional), and this icon seems to be the 'system-software-update' from Oxygen icons - so not included in KPK itself. Note: You can easily distinguish between patch types in the KPK UI - this is only about the systray icon. It'll look like this: http://www.opensuse-guide.org/tmp/kpk.png Personally I can easily accept only one icon for all types of patches - but I do think the icon should be a highly visible one that isn't easily overlooked. So what can we do? Option 1: ------------------------------ Do nothing. Accept status quo from upstream. Possibly talk to pinheiro and/or dantti about making the icon more "visible" for future releases. Advantages: No extra work, consistency with other (KPK using) distros like Fedora and Kubuntu (I think, haven't tried). Disadvantage: "Updates available" icon remains easily overlooked. Option 2: ----------------------- We could use an icon from kupdateapplet instead: http://www.opensuse-guide.org/tmp/kupdateapplet_red.png http://www.opensuse-guide.org/tmp/kupdateapplet_yellow.png Advantage: Highly "visible" icon, consistent with older openSUSE versions. Disadvantage: Extra work, not consistent with KDE looks and other distros. Option 3: -------------------- We could use a different Oxygen icon - which is more craving of attention. E.g.: http://www.opensuse-guide.org/tmp/emblem-important.png http://www.opensuse-guide.org/tmp/security-medium.png http://www.opensuse-guide.org/tmp/preferences-desktop-notification-bell.png http://www.opensuse-guide.org/tmp/preferences-desktop-notification.png Advantages: Icon is not overlooked, integrates in the look of KDE Disadvantages: Extra work, inconsistent with other distros. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all, I've been trying out KDE 4.6 for the past few weeks since it was released, and to my very pleasant surprise...its been pretty darn stable on my modest Thinkpad SL400c w/ 2GB of RAM and Intel 4500MHD graphics driver. There's one wrinkle and thats Kwin under OpenGL which renders fonts incorrectly for my development environment (LabVIEW) when compositing is turned on. Seems like a regression from Qt 4.6 to 4.7. Also, OpenGL is sluggish and freezes when clicking OK in systemsettings. Xrender on the other hand is rock solid and stable. No problems with font rendering and absolutely no lockups or freezes. Heck, I'd call Kwin+Xrender to be smoother and lighter than Compiz on GNOME under 11.3. My question is, what are the advantages of using OpenGL as compared to Xrender? Is OpenGL any better than Xrender, if so how? Thanks! -Anshul -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Kwrite is not the handler for application/x-perl
by Křištof Želechovski 13 Feb '11

13 Feb '11

Kwrite is not the handler for application/x-perl and KSUSEInstall cannot find anything appropriate. == Steps to reproduce == 1. { h2xs -A -n Mytest; } 2. Tell Dolphin to navigate to Mytest. 3. Tell Dolphin to open Makefile.PL . == Actual results == 3. Dolphin is unable to find a handler for "application/x-perl". == Expected results == 3. Dolphin should tell Kwrite to open Makefile.PL . Note: this is only an annoyance, since Kwrite is eventually called when the dialogue box is dismissed. However, Kwrite is perfectly capable of handling Perl code and I can see no reason why it is not registered as a handler for it.

[opensuse-kde] Klipper hot key does not work

The global shortcut Ctrl+Alt+V to get at Klipper does not work in KDE 4.6 on openSuSE 11.3.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.6 and display brightness
by Andrea Turrini 11 Feb '11

11 Feb '11

Hi all, I have an openSUSE 11.3 installed on an acer aspire 1810tz and I have just upgraded KDE from 4.5.5 to 4.6.0 (release 381). During the boot and in the login screen the display brightness is maximal (and this is OK); I have set the display brightness to the lowest value in each power management profile, so when I log in, in KDE 4.5.5 the brightness is correctly lowered. Now with KDE 4.6 every time I log in the brightness is not lowered, even if the profiles still show that display brightness is set to the lowest value. Is it a known issue? There is something I need to update in the profiles? Should I open a bug report in bnc?

[opensuse-kde] icons and activities in 4.6
by Cor Blom 10 Feb '11

10 Feb '11

Hello, At the end of last week I decided to try Activities (a feature that was marketed for KDE 4.6). I could then assign an specific icon to each activity. I liked it and decided to use it seriously. During the last days I updated to the newest KDE 4.6 in OBS (First KDF, later R:46, with the same result) and I lost the ability to assign custom icons the different activities. Only the default sphere like icons are shown with the option to change this. Does anyone know what has happened? Am I the only one and is it a fault with my system, or do others have the same problem?

[opensuse-kde] Clarification re adding older KDE3 programs in OpenSuSE 11.3 KDE4

I'd like to add some KDE3 programs to a fresh install of OpenSuSE 11.3 KDE4 on one of my laptops. I don't want to install the KDE3 desktop or the old network manager, just some KDE3 based versions that still work better than the KDE4 versions. For example, I've installed the Clementine fork of Amarok 1.4 and it seems to work fine. Where do I find the older KDE3 version of KDEPIM that still seems preferable to me to the new version? -- Robert Smits Email bob(a)rsmits.ca -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Can hardly use any kwin effect with KDE 4.6.0
by Malte Gell 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi there, I run KDE 4.6.0 on a 2.2 Ghz dual core and nVidia 210mobile, so enough power is no issue. But, i can hardly use any effects. When I use the 3D cube or even only the application switcher, kwin immediately turns off compositing, saying the effects were too slow. Strange, I can very well use Compiz with all effects! Compiz runs fast and smooth, only kwin makes trouble. So I guess there is a kwin issue here. Is there any workaround? Because I would prefer kwin over Compiz, if it only worked....

[opensuse-kde] A possible bug in KDE4 caused by cifs mounts dying when the server is shut down.
by Dave Plater 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

I experience a +/- 30sec lockup of the "Kickoff Applications Menu" when a windows vista system that I get the share from has shut down. After I unmount the share all is well again. It's a bug but I'm not quite sure what it's a bug against. I tried to fool it last night (early hours morning) and switched to a tty (ctrl/alt/F2) root console, issued a umount command and ended up having to hard reset my system. I don't have anything open in the share directory. It's mounted in a way that my user owns the files ie. credentials=xxx,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=100 with the name of the credentials file xed out, me being 1000. Anybody know what's happening?

[opensuse-kde] Two gripes with KDE under openSuSE 11.4
by Thomas Taylor 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hi fellow KDE users; Sent to both lists for wider consideration. I installed openSuSE 11.4 Milestone 6 a couple of days ago and have two gripes with the KDE desktop. This has KDE version 4.5.95 (RC2). 1) Upon starting, whether from cold boot or restart, the "Mail Notification Properties" popup appears. I've searched through "Configure Desktop" but haven't been able to find how to turn it off. I don't use the KDE mail program (kmail) and don't want to be notified about new messages. How can I turn this annoyance off? 2) Is there a way (as in Winblows) to turn the sound off for ALL notifications without having to turn off every single "play sound" button on every single program, EASILY at a single click? Winblows at least allows one to click on "no sounds" for system notifications and still have audio available. 3) Guess I lied! Is there a way to turn off the VERY annoying buzzer sound that occurs in some programs when bad keyboard input occurs (such as trying to delete beyond/before a fill-in box? It annoys my wife when she's sleeping and I'm working at the keyboard.

[opensuse-kde] kde 4.6, major issues
by Tony 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Howdy all: I have two computers, a desktop and laptop running 11.3, kde 4.5.5, nvidia 256.53 (have to use this driver to avoid the floating point error that causes all clock widgets to crash with kde 4.5). I tried updating both computers to kde 4.6 I used the following repos: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_46_openSUS… Did zypper up on one zypper dup on another to the kde:release:46 repo. Both updates failed big time, and I have reverted back to kde 4.5.x, below are the issues on both computers after the update: 1) No window controls, restore, close minimize, title bar ...... 2) no keyboard input in any window, within kde, kb works fine from tty1 ...... 3) Networkmanager would not load into system tray 4) kde starts on occasion with only the main panel with task bar system tray etc, but black screen I'm assuming plasma has crashed. 5) main panel will not allow changes, even if widgets unlocked, the little upside down like apostrophe does not appear and can not change panel 6) if using the newer nvidia driver 260.19.36, plasma loops and generates numerous seg fault messages. Below are a few things I tried before reverting back to kde 4.5.5 1) remove /tmp/kde-user temp directory, user of course replaced with my user name 2) deleted .kde4 folder, for logged in user 3) update to nvidia current drivers (this did nothing but bring back the floating point errors), then back to nvidia 256.53 driver.

[opensuse-kde] Messed up media center display installing openSuSE11.3 x64
by Marc Chamberlin 05 Feb '11

05 Feb '11

Hello I just got done installing openSuSE11.3 x64 on to my media center and WOW is the screen ever mucked up! And I don't have a clue how to fix it... So here are some of the particulars - I am using an nVidia controller GeForce 8500GT I have 2 monitors connected to it, one is a 42 inch monitor that I run with a resolution of 1920x1080 dpi and the other is a small 6 inch monitor that I run at 800x600 dpi. I run these two monitors in clone mode with the second monitor using the pan ability to track the mouse cursor around the desktop. Under openSuSE11.2 I had these two monitors working fine. Note the usage of the word HAD, installing 11.3 has now seriously mucked up the display under 11.2 also... My disk drive is configured such that 11.2 and 11.3 were installed in their own partitions, and /home was installed in a separate partition, which I configured to mount under both 11.2 and 11.3. It is my belief that some configuration file must reside on my home directory /home/marc that worked ok for KDE and 11.2, but KDE and 11.3 did not like. So, contrary to what the openSuSE wiki says about how it is safe to port /home from one version of openSuSE to another, I must disagree! It didn't. I will try to describe how the display appears, under 11.2 and 11.3, it is kinda similar but not quite. First of all the kicker bar at the bottom of the desktop is HUGE! Probably taking up a full 5th of the screen in height. In length it extends off screen at both edges, making it impossible to click on the SuSE applications icon at the far left, or seeing all of the clock at the far right. There are icons for Dolphin and launching a terminal window which are EXTREMELY small, hard to see, and icons for shutting down the system and locking the screen which are EXTREMELY large! Go figure that one!!! I managed to unlock the widgets and bring up the control panel for the panel settings for the kicker. With that, I can adjust the height of the kicker bar, but if I try to make it a reasonable smaller height, the various icons will disappear below the edge of the screen. The handles to adjust the width of the kicker will not budge and remain immovable, no matter how I click on them and try to drag em. The various plasmoids/widgets or whatever they are called, that go with the various activities are also extremely large. The activity bar that I had set up is now off the screen at the top and unreachable. So I can no longer switch activities. The xterm windows are launched extremely large also. but font size with in them is normal and what I have configured. Only the font size for the clock widget is extremely large. In appearance, the main difference is that all the various windows in 11.3, do not form rectangular boxes, rather they are somewhat large stair steps along the vertical edges. Also the pan mode for the small monitor has stopped working. It does not appear I have the configuration tools I had in 11.2, in 11.3, such as Sax2, and the nVidia settings tool also seems to have changed. (extremely hard to use in 11.3 anywise due to the stair step effects on the windows, and mouse/cursor location does not seem to agree with what it is pointing at, so I have to guess where to put the cursor before clicking on something) I have uninstalled/reinstalled 11.3 with exactly the same results. I have also done a full update of everything from the repositories. Still no joy. If I were to take a guess, I would say that the nVidia driver is installing OK, (not sure about 11.3) judging by the background pictures shown on my desktop. But something is seriously mucked up with all the various KDE widgets, windows, toolbar, kicker etc... Am willing to send any files that might be helpful, and thanks in advance for helping me with this problem.

[opensuse-kde] Konqueror, how to change address bar width
by Malte Gell 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Hello, I wanted to add some more icons to the bar where the address bar is located. But it seems when more icons are set there, they can't be seen because the address bar takes all the space. Thus, can the width of the address bar be made smaller to fit all additional icons? I use KDE 4.4.4.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.6 Repo for openSuSE 11.3 seems to offer 11.4 packages
by Sebastian Koerner 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hi, I added the KDE 4.6 repos to yast2 on openSuSE 11.3 x86_64 http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/re… and now I have some conflicts. Mostly it seems that the Repo offers some 11.4 packages (the four below). This is the yast output. Saying I have 11.3-13.2 installed but 11.4-82.2 is available. kdebase4-runtime-branding-openSUSE | The KDE Runtime Components | 11.3-13.2 (11.4-82.2) | 141,0 KiB [kdebase4-workspace-branding-openSUSE | openSUSE KDE Extension | 11.3-13.2 (11.4-82.2) | 1,7 MiB kdelibs4-branding-openSUSE | KDE Base Libraries: Build Environment | 11.3-13.2 (11.4-82.2) | 38,0 KiB kdm-branding-openSUSE | KDE login and display manager | 11.3-13.2 (11.4-82.2) | 770,0 KiB In http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/re… primary.xml.gz there are lines referring to 11.4. Which seems wrong Is this problem known? -- Best regards Sebastian Koerner <mailto:s.koerner@online.de> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.6 - desktop effects with live previews broken
by Matthias Meyr 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

Hi, I'm running openSUSE 11.3 with the 4.6 packages from Factory (KDF). Desktop effects work fine except the ones which include a live preview in some form. For example the Box Switch, the Desktop Grid or the Present Windows effect don't work correctly. Box Switch only shows the small icon of the application (e.g. the Firefox icon) but no box and especially no live preview of the windows. When using Present Windows all windows fade to the background but get grey rectangles immediately afterwards. Same thing happens when using the Desktop Grid effect. Even a fresh install of openSUSE didn't help. Is this a known bug or should I report it (to the KDE bug tracker or to the openSUSE one?)? Thanks for your help!

Yep that's how I did it when I did zypper dup, did it to the specific repo for kde46, my bad should have mention that.

[opensuse-kde] How do I mount USB drive world writable using device notifier?
by Marc Chamberlin 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hello - I have an issue which is a bit annoying to work around, so would like to find a more reasonable solution. My wife and I have laptops running openSuSE 11.2 and 11.3, KDE 4.4.4 and KDE 4.5 We both use an external USB drives formatted with a FAT32 file system and often want to send pictures or other files back and forth to store on these external drives. Right now, we cannot do this directly, though we can navigate to the other's USB drive and see files on it. I use both Samba and autofs to mount file systems from each other's laptop. What we can do is to transfer files to some other directory, such as /tmp and then locally transfer the files from /tmp to the USB drive. A PITA sometimes.... It appears that the USB drive is being mounted with rw permissions for the owner only, and only r permissions for groups and others. I suspect that we need to set the permissions of the mount point to be rw for everyone? We use the KDE device notifier to handle the mounting of the USB drives, but I am unable to figure out how to change the default permissions. Internet searches reveal I am not the only one confronted with this problem, but so far I have not been able to find an openSuSE oriented solution... Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any offers of help and advice! Marc... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Happy to report, that I have kde 4.6.x running on my one of my 2 computers. I still have to use the Nvidia 256.53 driver, updating to the Nvidia 260.19.36 brings the dreaded floating point error, for now keep the Nvidia 256.53 driver, when I have time will try the nouveau driver, just to see if it works. But still need the nvidia, for 3d stuff. Per your suggestion I tried the switch in yast, and it worked. Basically I re-added the following repos http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/ http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_46_openSUS… and did the switch option, had to resolve some dependency issues related to aqbanking and kymoney. One other item i ran into is the power managment lost all the profiles on first start of kde 4.6, So logged out then deleted the file /home/user/.kde4/share/config/powerdevil.notifyrc, logged back in all power profiles back :) For whatever reasons zypper up / zypper dup did not work for 2 computers for me upgrading to kde 4.6 I'm a cli type of person, so prefer zypper but in this case for what ever reason I had issues.
