[opensuse-kde] Dolphin updates the system configuration forever
by Křištof Želechovski 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

I tried to open a non-executable shell script (media type application/x-shellscript IIRC). Dolphin said it does not have an application to handle shell scripts and it offered me to install *tea* , so I did. Dolphin showed the "Update system configuration" progress bar. And now the progress bar restarts after reaching 80% and the Dolphin directory view does not respond. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Clarification re adding older KDE3 programs in OpenSuSE 11.3 KDE4
by Bob Smits 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

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] KDE 4.6.0 for openSUSE 11.2 misses packages
by Malte Gell 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hello, I think for proper use of KDE 4.6.0 on openSUSE 11.2 the packages upower and udisks are badly needed, otherwise automatic detection of USB devices is broken, e.g. USB sticks or CD burner for k3b is not found. Could you please add these packages for openSUSE11.2? Malte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Does anyone with a laptop have the same issue? On KDE 4.6.0 the battery indicator says, there was no battery. Xosview shows the correct battery load. Malte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kdelibs4 depends on an unindentified package
by Křištof Želechovski 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Don’t do this if you use current KDE 4.4: 1. Don’t tell YaST2 to install dolphin-4.6.0-211.1.x86_64. Result: kdebase4-workspace is not pulled, ksmserver cannot start, KDE is broken. 2. Don’t tell YaST2 to install kdebase4-workspace-4.6.0-568.1.x86_64. Result: kdeinit4 crashes, KDE is broken. Do this instead: 1. Tell YaST2 to switch system packages to KDE 4.6. (Unfortunately, this command is unavailable unless you have X11, but YaST2 cannot talk to X11 under sudo.) Please identify the unknown missing dependency for kdelibs4.

[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? Thanks in advance. Dave P -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[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] Calendar of KDE 4.6 shows national holidays in duplicate
by Erwin Lam 06 Feb '11

06 Feb '11

Hello, I am running openSUSE 11.3 (x86_64) with KDE recently upgraded to version 4.6 (release 3.7.6). I noticed that the calendar of KOrganizer 4.4.10 shows all national holidays in duplicate, i.e. a holiday like newyears day now occupies two days. Has anyone else noticed this odd behaviour?

[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. Any ideas suggestion greatly appreciated, Thanks, Tony -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
