[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?

[opensuse-kde] Middle mouse button
by Scott Newton 08 Apr '11

Is there any way to configure the middle mouse button to do the same as Ctrl- Shift-Return in applications like KMail and Akregator. I can change the keyboard shortcuts but not set them a middle mouse click. Thanks. -- Regards Scott Newton -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

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.
by upscope 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

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. Can anyone give me a idea what to look for or a how too. I've been thru the the steps on the KDE site. No help. Thanks in advance.

Hi, I use KDE4.6.0 on openSUSE 11.4. I have ffmpegthumbnailer installed, but Dolphin still does not create thumbnails from video files. How can I set ffmpegthumbnail to be my preferred thumbnail program?

[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] How do I upgrade my OpenSuSE 11.3 KDE to 4.6?
by Leslie Turriff 04 Apr '11

04 Apr '11

Hi, In the past I have not tried to upgrade KDE between upgrades of my base SuSE, but now that KDE4 is changing so fast, I think I need to upgrade it without waiting. But I don't find anything in Yast2 that allows me to do that. Seems like there used to be something like that, but I don't see anything now. How do I go about upgrading to 4.6?
