[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

[opensuse-kde] Address book problem
by Bob S 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

Hello SuSE people, I am trtying to import my address book, all email addresses, ditribution lists, groups, etc from KDE3,5 to KDE4,6 in kmail. Can't seem to find where that info is stored. I kinow that a lot of that info is on vcf cards. (I have about 40 of them, which I copied over) but they don't show up in the 4.6 kmail address book unless they are each imported individually but even then they are just a hodge podge of email addresses with no organization at all. The new address book looks completely different to me. This would be a real show stopper for me if I can't get it. Wouldn't be able to use KDE4 then.

[opensuse-kde] Slow KDE 4.6.1 response for some application
by Andrea Turrini 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Hi all, I switched my system (oS 11.4 - kernel 2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop - x86_64) to KDE 4.6.1 using repositories KDE:Release:46 and KDE:Extra:K_R_46_oS11.4. I have noted that when I click on the Skype icon in the system tray (skype 2.1.0.81), I obtain immediatly the window that should contain all contacts, but I need to wait about 5 seconds before viewing the actual content of the window. If I close such window and then I open it again, the content is displayed immediatly. This behaviour may be caused by the fact that Skype is proprietary and not KDE-native, but with KDE 4.6.0 I had not such behaviour. Moreover, the same thing happens when I press Ctrl-Alt-Del in order to shutdown the system. Also in this case I need to wait about 5 seconds before I am propted with the action to perform (logout/shutdown/reboot). Any idea about the causes of these delays? How can I collect information in order to file a bugreport in bnc?

[opensuse-kde] Network Manager - how to control automatic connection?
by Don Raboud 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hi all, Shortened question: Is there a way to force Network Manager to autoconnect using a fixed IP address? There is a conection present called "Auto eth0" which takes precedence over my defined connection "Fixed IP". Under Manage Connections there is no "Auto eth0" listed, so it appears to be built in and I can't change anything about it. Under my defined connection "Fixed IP" "Connect automatically" is checked but that hasn't helped. (There is also a greyed-out unchecked box "System connection".) This problem was discussed on the opensuse forums several months back, but no real resolution was found <http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/network- internet/450420-can-set-connection-network-manager.html> Background: I use port forwarding in my router, which was supplied by my ISP, to allow SSH access from the internet to my local machine. I have to specify a destination IP address in the router. This works as long as my machine maintains a fixed (local) IP address which I've chosen to be 192.168.1.65 [1]. Using network manager (plasmoid-networkmanagement) I have configured my wired connection to use this fixed IP address [2]. The problem is that there is an "Auto eth0" connection as well which takes precedence whenever a new connection needs to be made automatically [3]. The result is usually a different IP address, and hence I lose the ability to access my machine from outside the network [4]. Notes: [1] Unfortunately the router lacks the ability to assign a fixed IP address to a given mac address. [2] I could use the traditional ifup/ifdown approach but network manager makes it convenient to use VPN connections. [3] The router is both wired/wireless and SWMBO has a laptop which occassionally can't connect to the wireless network. She has learned that the easiest solution is to cylce on/off the router which then allows her to connect. [4] I suppose I could enable access to my router configuration from the internet, using a strong password, and then I could see which addresses have been assigned and configure the port-forwarding that way. That just seems like a far less secure option. -- Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Re:[opensuse-kde] Moving KDE:Distro:Factory code to KDE:Distro:Stable
by Joachim Geiger 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Hi, as March is entering its last third, I wondered whether there are any news about the move of KDE:DISTRO:Factory to KDE:Distro:Stable so that the description on the relevant KDE-repositories (http://en.opensuse.org/KDE_repositories) becomes up to date again.

[opensuse-kde] Fraudulent certificates patch
by todd rme 29 Mar '11

29 Mar '11

You probably already saw this, but I thought I would pass it along just in case: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2011/03/29/security-advisory-fraudulent-certificat… > A patch has been created for Qt 4.6 and 4.7 that addresses potential threats caused by fraudulent SSL certificates. > > Background: > > Recently a group of people managed to get fraudulent SSL certificates signed by a Certificate Authority (CA). > > These certificates potentially enable their owners to pretend to be other entities on the Web; the attackers can present valid certificates for e.g. mail.google.com, login.yahoo.com and login.live.com, among others. > >The patch below solves this problem by blacklisting those fake certificates and aborting an SSL handshake with entities that present these certificates. The patch applies to all 4.6 and 4.7 versions, and should be applied to all Qt 4.6.x and 4.7.x versions; upcoming Qt releases will contain a fix for this problem. Since it is a serious security vulnerability it is probably a good idea to push it as an openSUSE update. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
