[opensuse-kde] Icons of applications "minimized" to system tray not visible
by Mark Goldstein 19 Mar '11

19 Mar '11

Clean install of oS 11.4 / KDE 4.6 (32-bit version). I can't see the icons of the applications that minimize themselves to system tray. I noticed it with krusader, but then tried another application with the same effect. I tried setting the "visibility" for krusader and another application to "always visible" and it did not help. BTW, krusader disappeared from the list of "entries" after that, though it was still running. I've found the bug #68052: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=680521 , describing this situation, but the reporter closed it as "Resolved" after his system magically cured itself. I've also seen the discussions on oS 11.3+KDE4.6 exhibiting this issue, but the solution there was removing the factory repos. I do not have any. I've attached the screenshot illustrating this issue and my list of repositories to the bug. Somebody else experienced this issue? Should I re-open the bug?

[opensuse-kde] How to add an application ot the panel in KDE 4.x???
by Alexander Beck-Ratzka 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi Folks, I want to add a program button to the KDE panel. However, this is not as easy as it was in 3.x. As fr as I can see, I can only add widgets tp the panel, and in this widgets I don't find any program buttons as Eclipse, XEmacs or Kmail. Under KDE 3.x it was possible to add complete program menues to the panel. E.g I have added Eclipse as a menue, and in this menue contained three different Eclipse programs. How can I add applications seen with "kmenuedit" to the KDE panel under 4.x?

[opensuse-kde] PolikcyKit permission problem
by auxsvr＠gmail.com 18 Mar '11

18 Mar '11

Hi, Running oS11.4, the permission settings in System settings / Actions policy are ignored, leading to error messages such as "System policies prevent you from getting the brightness level" in a dialog box asking for root's password every time the screensaver stops, and similar error messages when attempting to mount removable media. Has anyone else seen this? Any hints to fix this are welcome.

[opensuse-kde] Packaging question: cannot resolve... in KDE:Distro:Stable
by Klaas Freitag 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Hi, in home:kfreitag:Kraft I build kraft for quite some repos, in preparation to move kraft to KDE:Extra soon. One thing I do not understand is an unresolvable happening in KDE:Distro:Stable for 11.2 and 11.3: nothing provides libqt4-sql = 4.7.2 needed by libqt4-sql-mysql The Requires in the spec are: BuildRequires: libctemplate-devel BuildRequires: libkde4-devel libkdepimlibs4-devel BuildRequires: update-desktop-files %kde4_runtime_requires %kde4_pimlibs_requires %kde4_akonadi_requires Requires: python-trml2pdf pdftk libqt4-sql-sqlite so I do not see how the bug happens nor how I can fix it.

[opensuse-kde] Translation files for devicenotifier
by Andrea Turrini 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi all, when you plug a removable device, device notifier pop ups and allows user to choose the action to perform. For instance, for a pendrive, you can Open with File Manager, Download Photos with Gwenview or Download Photos with digiKam. Now, my question is: what are the translation files involved in these choices? As you can see in this screenshot (http://img4.imageshack.us/i/file1c.jpg/), some strings are correctly translated in Italian, while others are still in English. However, as far as I know, the strings are translated upstream as well as in update-desktop-files files from berlios' lcn repository. So, how can I check whether correct translation is used?

[opensuse-kde] Problems with KDE 4.6.1 - oS 11.4
by Andrea Turrini 15 Mar '11

15 Mar '11

Hi all, I have installed oS 11.4 formatting / but keeping /home. Then I have added the K:R:46 repo (and the corresponding Extra repo) and given a "zypper dup -r K:R:46 -r :K:R:46-extra". It completed the update without errors and then I rebooted the laptop. After the reboot, kdm starts correctly but when I try to log in, the screen becomes black and then I obtain again kdm screen. The behaviour is similar to when / partition is full but I have enough space in / and /home, so it is not this the cause. Now I have disabled the two repos, given another "zypper dup" and KDE starts correctly and I am using it now. File .xsession-errors does not provide me any useful information: the content is equal to the initial part of the current one (it contains only 6 rows of text about xim and dummy input method "none"), as well as /var/log/Xorg.0.log. Do you have any suggestion about this behaviour? How to solve it, how to collect info, ...

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.6.1 in KDE:/Distro:/Factory for openSUSE 11.4?
by phanisvara das 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

just wondering why 4.6.1 doesn't show up in the K:D:F repos for oS 11.4, while it's already in those for 11.3 and oS factory, per example? is there any specific reason, or just timing of the update process and/or mirror refresh? -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kmail not opening
by Bob S 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Hello SuSE people, 11.4 x86 64 now GM with KDE4,6 Ever since I installed 11.4 (RC1?) several months back I have not been able to start Kmail. I just hoped that with each upgrade it would cure itself. Well it has not. When I try to open it I get the following message: Unable to run command specified The file or folder does not exist. file:///usr/share/applications/kde4/KMail2.desktop Well that is correct. It does not. However, I do have a file KMail.desktop and when I click on that it opens the Kmail wizard and the Kmail itself. How to fix???

[opensuse-kde] Compiling smb4k-0.10.10 on SuSE 11.4 fails CMAKE with unable to find kde4_install_icons

Hi KDE Gurus, Can anyone tell me which package is needed to compile smb4k. Currently, the CMAKE step fails with.... CMake Error at icons/CMakeLists.txt:1 (kde4_install_icons): Unknown CMake command "kde4_install_icons". I think I have all the relevant devel packages installed, and I can compile other KDE packages, but clearly something is missing. Google hasn't been very helpful, so I wondered if any of you guys has a suggestion?

[opensuse-kde] Meetings
by Sascha Manns 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hello Mates, some questions reaches the Weekly News Team about missing Informations about Meetings. In the past we had introduced that a Meetings comes and after that we published the Link to the last Transcript. Sadly is looks like not every Meeting is added to the calendar, so that means that each possible attendee must search when the next Meeting will be held. And as example some Pages like: * http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_meeting * http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:GNOME_meeting * http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Marketing_meeting needs an update. So i want to motivate all Meeting holders to add their Meetings to the Calendar and after that adding the Link to the transcript to the Meetings Page. Just my 2 cents ;-) cu Sascha -- Sincerely Yours Sascha Manns open-slx Community & Support Agent openSUSE Membership Comitee openSUSE Marketing Team Web: http://saigkill.homelinux.net German Community Portal: http://community.open-slx.de -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Fix for Network Manager wireless
by todd rme 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

There is a suggested patch to fix a major problem in Network Manager that I thought I should pass along. From the blog post http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2011/03/plasma-nm-big-feature.html "Before that I must say that there is a bug in Solid's NetworkManager backend, it does not emit the wirelessHardwareEnabledChanged signal. Without that signal the "Enable wireless" checkbox does not work as expected, sometimes it gets disabled (read-only), so I suggest that distribution packagers apply this one line patch to fix the problem. The patch will be available in KDE SC 4.6.2." https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdebase/kde-workspace/repository/revi… -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi. I am using OpenSuSE 11.3 with KDE 4.6 from Release. I probed to use phonon- gstreamer 4.4.4 because the posts in the list about maintaners leaving phonon- xine.

i've asked this on the KDE mailing list already, but now i think opensuse-kde is a better place. when some KDE packages came up for update today, most of them showed unresolveable dependencies for libqt-x11 >= 4.7.2. i found these in KDE:/Qt47, added the repo, and solved the dependencies with vendor change. wondering if this is a permanent requirement, or perhaps my mirror didn't have the latest libqt-x11 available yet? -- phani. openSUSE 11.4 KDE:/Distro:/Factory, and now also KDE:/Qt47 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
