[opensuse-kde] KDE4.6.2 (on 11.4) Kmenu names not showing
by C 17 Mar '12

17 Mar '12

I've been poking at this one for a little while now without much success. Using openSUSE 11.4 and KDE 4.6.2. I've got a few applications - the games from HumbleBundle 2 - that have been added to the KMenu by their installers. When I navigate to the applications in the KMenu, the icons are showing, but there is no text next to the icons (Application name field is empty). A mouse hover shows the app names in grey text in the Description field. If I go to the KMenu editor and check the entries, they are filled in correctly - there is a name in the Name field, and the Description fields are all blank. If I add text to the Description field, save and exit the editor, the new Descriptions I've added are not shown on mouse hover, and the Application name is still not showing. Has anyone else seen this? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

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] Strange KDE 4.6.2 and 11.4 Upgrade Experience
by Anshul Jain 22 May '11

22 May '11

Hi all, I recently upgraded my 11.4 install to 4.6.2 from the default 4.6.0 (?) version using the KDE:Release:46 repos, in addition to performing a "zypper dup" to upgrade my entire system. After the upgrade, kdm wouldn't let me log in. If I try to enter the password of the username created during the first install...it kicks me back to kdm. I had to drop down to the shell and create a new username through YaST. The new username and password now works properly. Why could this be happening? Any ideas?

[opensuse-kde] Changing the volume with kmix and qdbus
by Malte Gell 12 May '11

Hi there, I want to access kmix with qdbus from the command line, but I have not much clue about D-Bus so I wonder about the right syntax. I see I have the kmix D-Bus running: qdbus org.kde.kmix /kmix/KMixWindow/actions/increase_volume /kmix/KMixWindow/actions/decrease_volume What is now the correct qdbus command to change volume?

[opensuse-kde] kmix and multimedia files: cpu to 100%
by Andrea Turrini 28 Apr '11

28 Apr '11

Hi all, yesterday I updated my KDE 4.6.2 using the K:R:46 repository. kmix was not involved in the update. However, now I have the following problem: amarok and kmix are launched at login and if I play a mp3 file, kmix goes to 100% of a cpu until I kill it, even if I close amarok. The same problem occurs using smplayer or vlc to play the same file. Please note that I had no problems before yesterday playing the same file (or completely different one, like a flv file) using amarok, smplayer or vlc. Do you have some idea on how to track/solve this problem?

[opensuse-kde] mount/unmount luks partition
by Giacomo Comes 27 Apr '11

27 Apr '11

Hi, what is the status of mounting/umounting an external hard disk with encrypted partition? In 11.3, after plugging the hard disk, an icon for an encrypted container with an open padlock will apper in the device notifier applet. Clicking on such icon will prompt for a password After providing the correct password, the encrypted container will show a closed padlock and a new icon of a removable media will appear. Clicking on such icon will finally mount the encripted partition. To remove, the reverse sequence is necessary: first click on the removable media icon to dismount it, then click on the encrypted container icon: the removable media icon will disappear and an open padlock image will show that the content of the encrypted container is not accessible anymore. with halmount the command sequence will be: halmount /dev/sdb1 (prompt for a password) halmount /dev/dm-0 (mount the partition) and to dismount: halmount -u /dev/dm-0 halmount -u /dev/sdb1 Now on 11.4: I plug the hard disk, the encrypted container icon with an open padlock appears in device notifier applet. Clicking on such icon will prompt for a password. After providing the correct password, the content of the encrypted container is accessible AND the encripted partition is mounted. But in the device notifier applet the encrypted container icon will still show an open padlock and no icon for the newly avalable removable media appears. After that it's not possible to remove the mounted encrypted partition with the device notifier applet. I'm also failing to access the encrypted partition using udisks. The command: udisks --mount /dev/sdb1 fails with the error message: Mount failed: Not a mountable file system I know that udisks is aware of luks encrypted partitions: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy contains an action like: action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.luks-unlock" to unlock an encrypted device. The udisks man page does not have any mention about how to unlock an encrypted device so I assume that using the --mount option will do it, but that's not the case. Anyone know how to use udisks to mount an encrypted device? Of course I can use cryptsetup and mount/unmount, but I would like to do it as a normal user, as I was able in 11.3. Thanks.

[opensuse-kde] KDE doesn't start after upgrade to 4.6.2
by Matthias Meyr 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hi everyone, I am running openSUSE 11.4. The only additional repos activated are "Packman" and "openSUSE:contrib". Everything works fine with these enabled. In order to upgrade from KDE SC 4.6.0 to 4.6.2 I enabled the KDE Upstream "Core" and "Extras" repositories and did a "zypper dup". After rebooting, I tried to log into my system using KDM. But after entering my username and password and pressing the Enter button, KDM seemed to restart itself. I didn't get to my Plasma Desktop. So I downgraded to the 4.6.0 version. My questions therefore are: Do you have the same problem? Is it a known bug? Thanks in advance!

There are two issues with the KDE 4.5 games pattern in 11.4: 1. The release in 11.4 is KDE 4.6 2. Although you can install the packages in the pattern, you can't install the pattern itself.

[opensuse-kde] Files copied from audiocd with either konqueror or dolphin have zero byte size
by Richard Bos 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

Hi, in earlier openSUSE and KDE releaeses it was possible to use the "protocol" audiocd in konqueror. This resulted in a presentation of the files on the audiocd and some fake directories like MP3. When I used this yesterday on openSUSE-11.4 and Konqueror-4.6.2 it shows the (wav) files, the fake directories, etc, but when I tried to copy the files the copied files have a 0 (zero) bytes size. :( What is the reason for this, is this a known bug (I searched for it, but could not find it)? Is there a way to debug this? I have been able to retrieve the files, via an old openSUSE version I've but it would be so nice if this functionality would be working in the openSUSE-11.4 that I have. -- Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

So, it appears to be a general bug, which can either be a upstream or only an openSUSE bug. > k3b worked great though (it has a menu option "Rip Audio CD", install > the necessary codecs beforehand). Indeed this works for .ogg and .wav files. However it is not possible for me, to rip to .mp3 files. This is probably related with the fact that k3b starts with the following warning: --------------------------------------------------------- MP3 Audio Decoder plugin not found. K3b could not load or find the MP3 decoder plugin. This means that you will not be able to create Audio CDs from MP3 files. Many Linux distributions do not include MP3 support for legal reasons. Solution: To enable MP3 support, please install the MAD MP3 decoding library as well as the K3b MAD MP3 decoder plugin (the latter may already be installed but not functional due to the missing libmad). Some distributions allow installation of MP3 support via an online update tool. --------------------------------------------------------- But libmad is available: /usr/bin> rpm -qa | grep libmad libmad0-0.15.1b-2.pm.2.1 /usr/bin> ls -l /usr/lib64/libmad.so.0 /usr/lib64/libmad.so.0.2.1 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 12 mrt 23:13 /usr/lib64/libmad.so.0 -> libmad.so.0.2.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 129464 24 feb 21:16 /usr/lib64/libmad.so.0.2.1 Is this is a bug in k3b?

[opensuse-kde] Konq4 menu fonts smaller than other menu fonts under KDE3
by Felix Miata 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Yesterday on a limited space (4.8G /) test system I installed 11.4/Tumbleweed/KDE3. I locked out via zypper and/or YaST2 as much of KDE4 as I could get away with, but need Konq4 for testing. I can't find any way to change Konq menu fonts, apparently 9pt, which I presume must be controlled via systemsettings for KDE4. http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/konq460-kde3-fonts.png zypper se system produced no result for systemsettings without some form of appendage to kde3. From systemsettings(kde3) for fonts I see only the kcontrol fonts page (with most fonts as previously set via kcontrol->fonts to 10pt), not the one for systemsettings(kde4), which is distinctly different by including "Small" as one of the font types. kcmshell4 --list shows nothing including the word "font", unlike on my other 11.4 systems running KDE 4.6. Output of that command to file is only 2020 bytes, compared to same run under KDE4 DTE at 5906 bytes. How do I get Konq4 to use the same menu fonts as KDE3 apps & Geckos in KDE3? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Hi, KUP has only those repos enabled with KDE >= 4.6 to save buildpower and because most apps there need 4.6 at least.

Possibly rc3 is the latest rc before stable, or rc4.

[opensuse-kde] KDE:Release:XX HOWTO
by Javier Llorente 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hi KDE Team, First of all, I would like to thank Will and Raymond for their help. I have learnt many things from them :-) I have written this HOWTO to share what I've learnt from the past few months. Feel free to improve it. KDE:Release:XX HOWTO =================== This is a HOWTO for setting up and maintaining a KDE:Release:XX repository. Before starting, please take into considerations the following: Coordinate the work with others. If the Qt version in KDE:Distro:Factory is newer than the one shipped with openSUSE, don't link libqt4, instead aggregate it (ie: from KDE:Qt:STABLE) and patch kde4-filesystem (macros.kde4). KDE:Release:XX shouldn't pull a newer version of Qt (ie: 4.6.x vs 4.7.x) unless it's required to build KDE. Please do not accept/submit patches for KDE base packages in KDE:Release:XX as long as they are links to KDE:Distro:Factory packages. This may cause link conflicts when updating links revisions! Generally speaking, patches should go to KDE:Distro:Factory first. Ready to go? 1. Create the KDE:Release:XX repository or ask to have it created for you. 2. Create links in KDE:Release:XX osc ls KDE:Distro:Factory |xargs -i -t osc linkpac KDE:Distro:Factory {} KDE:Release:XX 3. Relink subpackages to base packages in KDE:Release:46. ie: perl-kde4 / kdebindings4.  #!/usr/bin/perl my $repository = "KDE:Release:46"; my %kde_sub_packages = ( "kdeaccessibility4-icons" => "kdeaccessibility4", "kdeartwork4-noarch" => "kdeartwork4", "kdebase4-wallpapers" => "kdebase4-workspace", "kdeedu4-noarch" => "kdeedu4", "kdegames4-carddecks" => "kdegames4", "kdelibs4-apidocs" => "kdelibs4", "mono-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "perl-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "python-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "python-kdebase4" => "kdebase4-workspace", "ruby-kde4" => "kdebindings4", "smoke-generator" => "kdebindings4", ); foreach $sub_package (sort keys %kde_sub_packages){ system("osc rdelete $repository $sub_package"); system("osc linkpac -C copy $repository $kde_sub_packages{$sub_package} $repository $sub_package"); }  4. Fix links for KDE base packages to latest revision. The following perl script does it for you:  #!/usr/bin/perl my $repository = "KDE:Release:46"; my @kdebase = qw( kde4-filesystem kde4-l10n kdeaccessibility4 kdeadmin4 kdeartwork4 kdebase4 kdebase4-runtime kdebase4-workspace kdebindings4 kdeedu4 kdegames4 kdegraphics4 kdelibs4 kdemultimedia4 kdenetwork4 kdesdk4 kdetoys4 kdeutils4 kdewebdev4 oxygen-icon-theme plasma-addons ); foreach (@kdebase){ system("osc setlinkrev $repository $_"); }  You may also want to fix links for some packages such as amarok. 5. Delete packages that aren't needed for openSUSE. ie: gpgme 6. Copy the project config from KDE:Distro:Factory Run osc meta prjconf -e KDE:Release:46 to edit it. 7. Add a repository. ie: openSUSE:11.4 + openSUSE:11.4:Update path 8. Raw config: disable publish, enable one architecture (ie: x86_64) and see how it goes. run osc meta prj -e KDE:Release:XX to edit it. 9. Once everything is green, enable all archs and add repositories for other openSUSE versions. 10. All green? Then enable publish :-) 11. Ask maintainers to enable other repos (ie: KDE:Extras) to build against KDE:Release:46. Updating KDE in KDE:Release:46 In most cases, updating the link revisions of the KDE base packages is enough (running the script from point 4 would do that). Don't forget to disable publish first! If an alpha/beta of KDE is about to arrive in KDE:Distro:Factory, copypac the packages from KDE:Distro:Factory to KDE:Release:46 first. From that point on, KDE:Release:46 would contain packages and not links. That means that you could accept patches or that you would have to upload tarballs everytime there's a new release of KDE. Comments and suggestions are welcome! ;-) Cheers, -- Javier Llorente

[opensuse-kde] Plasma Active on openSUSE
by Sebastian Kügler 09 Apr '11

09 Apr '11

Hi opensuse-kde :), As some of you know, we've been working on non-desktop UIs in #plasma and #opensuse-kde for a while, with very nice results. I've put together a blog post about Plasma Active, and a bunch of wiki pages the name we've given this effort. http://vizzzion.org/blog/2011/04/plasma-active-a-desirable-user-experience- encompassing-the-device-spectrum/ http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active I have Plasma Active running on a nice tablet here, and it pretty much rocks (buggy, but still). To make it rock even more (and bring it to an end-user ready thing), there's some more work involved. I've detailed what needs to be done on: http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Tasks#openSUSE If you find this project interesting, please help us making Active a success. We're already a pretty determined team, but not strong enough yet to develop its full potential. Will has started moving the stuff which resided in my home project to a new one, KDE:Active, which will be our working base. (You can find more details about the workflow of development, deployment and testing on the Wiki, under Development). We're planning to get two-weekly snapshot images out, and regularly updated packages from master for people to test and quickly see their results deployed. Special thanks go out to tittiatcoke and wstephenson for helping me get these packages working. You guys rock :-) Cheers, -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org | GPG Key ID: 9119 0EF9 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

I've just blogged about Plasma Active, as many of you won't have heard of it yet: http://vizzzion.org/blog/2011/04/plasma- active-a-desirable-user-experience-encompassing-the-device-spectrum/ There's more information on communitybase: http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active .. and a video for the impatient: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GAFfjscVyg In all due modesty, I've an insanely great openSUSE in my hands, running on a tablet computer. :) We're working on it on the opensuse-kde list, and on the active(a)kde.org list, packages have been developed in the OBS, and the sources are upstream at KDE's Git. There are 11.4-based packages and a live iso. The status is "boots and kinda works", lots of showstoppers. We're targeting our first stable release end of Sept. I understand that non-desktop or -server stuff may not be everybody's cup of tea, but those who would like to lend a hand on making openSUSE rock on all kinds of new devices are very welcome to do so. (See http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Tasks for some inspiration.) Plasma Active is also quite different in its approach to the upstream/downstream: we're a cross-stack, multi-disciplined team (designers, hackers, testers, packagers, ...), working across borders dedicated to create a desirable user experience. As to marketing and communication, please do not overhype this thing at this point. Those that can be of value to our mission should surely know. We've worked out a communication strategy in the Plasma Active team, so if you're planning to do any substantial PR around it right now, I'd much prefer if we first concentrate on making it really rock, and above all that we coordinate it.

[opensuse-kde] Mount point of an external disk
by Giacomo Comes 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi, If I mount an external usb disk clicking on the device notifier icon, it is mounted in /media/<filesystem label> That's good. If the filesystem doesn't have a label, up to 11.3 it was mounted on /media/disk, now on 11.4 it is mounted on /media/<uuid>. That's ugly. How can I revert things back and have the disk mounted on /media/disk when I click on the corresponding icon in the device notifier? Other question. I like very much the possibility to mount and dismount external devices not only with mouse clicks, but also using shell commands. Up to 11.3 I used halmount. I could mount a device with halmount and dismount it from the desktop and viceversa. However, now if I mount a device from the desktop and I try to dismount it with halmount I receive this error message: /dev/sdb1: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.NotMountedByHal: Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL I know that hal is now obsolete, so I'm asking: what command can I use now that has the same functionality of halmount?

[opensuse-kde] keyboard issues in kdm
by Giacomo Comes 08 Apr '11

08 Apr '11

Hi, I have noticed the following problem with kdm in openSUSE 11.4. In the login screen if I select Menu -> Shutdown either by clicking with the mouse or by pressing Alt-S a popup menu appears with the four options: Turn off, Restart, Suspend and Cancel. In order to choose an option, in 11.3 I can use the cursor and return keys or the Alt-key shortcuts (Alt-T, Alt-R, Alt-S, Alt-C) In 11.4 that doesn't work. The popup menu appears but you cannot make your choice with the keyboard, you are forced to use the mouse. Is this a bug or a misconfiguration? How to fix it? Also in 11.3 from the login screen if I want a console login I only need to press Alt-N and I get it. In 11.4 after I press Alt-N a popup menu appears and I need to press Alt-O in order to get the console login. That would not be so bad except that this last popup menu is also affected by the previous bug: the keyboard doesn't work. Actually if I first click on the background image and press Alt-N then the keyboard works and I can press Alt-O or Alr-C or Return or Esc in order to proceed. But if I click in the username or password field and press Alt-N then the keyboard is inactive and I can only proceed using the mouse. Is there a way to disable this last popup menu and go to the console login after only pressing Alt-N as it was in 11.3?

It has very few dependencies and works well in Dolphin after ticking it in the configuration dialog. However, I've just upgraded another machine to 11.4 and can't find this in any of the repos. It was provided by Packman previously. I note it's missing from Packman on 11.3 now as well so perhaps it's not been updated and is incompatible, but if not could somebody look at packaging it again?

[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] Problem with addressbook groups.

openSUSE 11.4 (2.6.37.1-1.2-desktop) KDE Platform Version 4.6.1 (4.6.1) "release 2" Kontact 4.4.10 Kmail 1.13.6 Kaddressbook 4.4.10 I must be missing a step somewhere. I create a new addressbook group under personal contacts. I select the 7 people I want to be a part of the group (old distribution list). They show the correct entries when I select the group under contacts. I then switch to Kmail, go to New Message --> Select --> Addressbook Distribution Lists. It shows the group name with 7 email addresses. (Correct number) but clicking on the > shows seven blank cards. <code> Processes show akonadi 4745 ? 00:00:00 nepomukserver 4747 ? 00:00:13 nepomukservices 4749 ? 00:00:01 krunner 4758 ? 00:00:00 akonadi_control 4760 ? 00:00:07 akonadiserver 4762 ? 00:00:08 mysqld 4777 ? 00:00:00 kmix 4781 ? 00:00:02 amarok 4798 ? 00:00:01 akonadi_contact 4800 ? 00:00:00 polkit-kde-auth 4801 ? 00:00:00 akonadi_ical_re 4802 ? 00:00:00 kwalletd 4804 ? 00:00:00 akonadi_maildir 4808 ? 00:00:00 akonadi_maildis 4809 ? 00:00:00 akonadi_nepomuk 4810 ? 00:00:00 klipper 4813 ? 00:00:04 akonadi_nepomuk 4826 ? 00:00:00 korgac 4833 ? 00:00:42 virtuoso-t 4862 ? 00:00:03 nepomukservices 4865 ? 00:00:00 nepomukservices 4867 ? 00:00:03 nepomukservices 4868 ? 00:00:04 nepomukservices 4869 ? 00:00:03 nepomukservices 4976 ? 00:00:00 kpackagekitsmar </code> I have used the same .csv and imported the groups and personal contacts into SeaMonkey and all works correctly. I can send my various distribution lists. This was working under 11.4 RC1. I did a fresh install for the GM release and it has not worked since. I must of missed something.

[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] Networkmanager KDE updates

There was recently a blog post about KDE Networkmanager fixes: http://lamarque-lvs.blogspot.com/2011/03/plasma-nm-bugs-fixed.html "Since Plasma NM does not follow KDE SC release schedule I thought posting a list of bugs fixed should be a good idea. Some users do not know we do not follows KDE SC release schedule, some distribution packagers also seem to not know which important bugs have been fixed this year." It lists over 30 fixes since December. However, it looks like the sources in KDE:Distro:Factory were last updated 4 months ago. Should the sources be updated? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
