[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

[opensuse-kde] Missing dependencies list
by todd rme 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Here is a list of missing dependencies from KDE:Distro:Factory builds: I have put together a list of missing dependencies for packages in KDE:Distro:Factory. They fall in a few categories: --- 1. Dependencies that appear useful but are not currently packaged in any openSUSE repositories. These may have legal issues (in rough order of how important they appear): QtIndicate or qindicate: Used by choqok, clementine, . An indicator library. mobile-broadband-provider-info: Used by NetworkManager-KDE4. Database of mobile broadband service providers. Needed for Mobile Connection Wizard support in Broadband Modem Management. This is currently available from packman. OpenConnect: Used by NetworkManager-KDE4. Cisco AnyConnect compatible VPN client. Needed for OpenConnect support in Network Management. I do not see this in OBS at all. CLucene1: used by strigi for some sort of searching. Only the 0.9 branch of clucene is available in openSUSE. liblocation: used by marble, presumably for some gps stuff. libmms: Used by kdnetwork and kradio. Needed to build KGet mms support. This is currently available from packman. openjpeg: Free library for JPEG 2000 image compression. Required by the Krita JPEG 2000 filter. This is currently available from packman. Spnav: Used by koffice (and calligra). Required by SpaceNavigator 3D mouse plugin. This is available from several home: repositories. DCMTK: Used by koffice (and calligra). Required for processing DICOM structured reports. This is available from several home: repositories. Cuda: Used by opencv, presumably to offload operations onto the graphics card. Available from several home: repos. --- 2. Dependencies that are available in OBS, but are not in opensuse-factory: Qwt: Used by kdebindings-smokeqt, Perl-Qt4, and Ruby-Qt4. Needed to compile Qwt5 bindings, providing scientific widgets. It is also used by several scientific packages. It is available in contrib. QtZeitgeist: Used by kdebase4-runtime and phonon. Zeitgeist and QtZeitgeist is needed for resource tracking. I have a working package for this that is now in kde-extra, it can be incorporated at any time. HUPnP: used by kdelibs. Allows Solid to provide information about UPnP devices on the network. This is available in several places, including KUSc. I have built kdelibs with it and it builds fine, looking at the history I think this was worked on a lot for KDE 4.7. QNtrack: Used by kdebase4-runtime. Network status tracking library. Provides data input for Solid network status. It is available from the Network repository, amongst other places. ffmpeg: Used by amarok, k3b, kdemultimedia4, kradio, opencv, and strigi. Headers are available, I can see if these will build with them lame: used by k3b and kradio. Needed for the lame mpf encoder encoder plugin. Headers are available, I can see if this will build with them. mad: used by k3b. Needed for the mp3 audio decoder plugin. Headers are available, I can see if this will build with them. FreeTDS: Used by koffice (and calligra). Open source implementation of the TDS (Tabular Data Stream) protocol. Required by Kexi Sybase Migration driver. Available from several OBS repos, including devel:libraries:c_c++. XPlanet: Used by kstars for rendering planets. This was in openSUSE but removed, now it is in hamradio. UniCap: Used by opencv, presumably for video capture. It is in Intel:Moblin2, but hasn't been updated in a while. --- 3. Dependencies that are available in openSUSE-factory, but are not currently being used in the package (I can add these easily enough if there is no reason not to): R: Used by Cantor. A free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. Backend to use R with Cantor. kwebkitpart: used by choqok. Not sure why this isn't being used. libtidy: used by kdebase4. Gives the Konqueror validators plugin the ability to validate HTML. qvoronoi: used by kdegames. Part of the qhull package, needed for the irregular grid from the Palapeli Slicer. libkexiv2 and libkdcraw: used by kdegraphics-thumbnailers. Required to build the RAW thumbnailer libktorrent: Used by kdebase4-workspace. Needed to build KGet bittorrent support. Once again, I don't know why this isn't being used. msiLBC: Used by kdenetwork. Needed to build Google Talk libjingle voice call support with iLBC codec system-config-printer: used by kdeutils. Some of its modules (cupshelpers.py and ppds.py) are optionally used by printer-applet for auto configure of new printers. You should also install the udev rules from system-config-printer. Create Resources: Used by koffice (and calligra). Recommended at runtime for KOffice for optional extra resources. XBase: Used by koffice (and calligra). Required by Kexi XBase Migration driver. OpenGTL and QtGTL: Used by koffice (and calligra). Requires for various operations. I understand that this is currently broken and a fix is in-process. podofo: Used by krename. libcfitsio0 and libindi: Used by kstars. Once again I am not sure what is going on here, KDF has these packags and assume they are there specifically for kstars. libgps: used by marble for gps operations. eigen: used by openbabel and opencv. dbusmenu-qt: used by quassel for the system tray. python and wxwidgets: used by openbabel, apparently for the guy. polkit-qt: used by python-kde4. XInput device properties 2.x: Used by synaptiks. I assume this is available, although I don't kno in which packages. --- 4. Dependencies that aren't in openSUSE factory but don't appear very important: HSpell: Used by kdelibs4. Spell checking support for Hebrew. Hebrew support can also be provided via Enchant, providing the correct Enchant backends are installed. Since enchant is provided, this seems redundant. XMMS 1.x: Used by a lot of packages, but openSUSE is providing XMMS2 now instead. PvAPI, IPP, and TBB: Used by opencv, but I don't know what thez are or what opencv uses them for. SCIM: Used by plasma-addons. I just really, really hate this program. log4cxx: Used by strigi for advanced logging. Available from deve:languages:c and c++, but do we really need advanced logging? HYPHEN: Used by Scribus for hyphenation. It has a built-in one, though. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.7 status
by Ismail Doenmez 08 Aug '11

08 Aug '11

Hey all; 4.7 rc2 is now served in KDE:Unstable:SC, tested on 11.4 & Factory. Still need someone to test on 11.3. Here are the known problems so far: - Kmail2 might give an error message on startup saying "KMail encountered a fatal error and will terminate now. The error was: Failed to fetch the resource collection." This is reported upstream. - Nepomuk fails to index anything. This will be fixed next week. - Weather applet crashes on Factory. This a problem with the new gps library. I'll debug this in coming days. Have fun testing.

[opensuse-kde] kmail interupted a lot by synchronizing
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 01 Aug '11

01 Aug '11

Since the update to 4.7 I have had problems with kmail. I have it running in the meantime although the migration did not work for me. It was a small catastrophe it cost me a lot of time and manual work but it is up and running. One real problem is synchronizing of all folders and subfolders I have on my system. All folders are synchronized every time my system fetches email from three pop accounts. That take a lot of time and 99% of my cpu. Also folders who are not affected by any new emails. Could that have something to do with the following? After leaving akonadiconsole started on konsole I get a message which does not make much sense: QSqlDatabasePrivate::removeDatabase: connection 'qt_sql_default_connection' is still in use, all queries will cease to work. A search for QSqlDtabase did not show up the existence of anything QSqlDatabase* Still some hand work ahead? -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.0.0-4-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.00 (4.7.0) 21:25pm up 11:01, 2 users, load average: 0.37, 1.15, 0.89 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Moving that breadcrumb to the left would also be good, everything is left aligned except that breadcrumb. looks a little out of place IMHO.

[opensuse-kde] KMail2 and related things
by İsmail Dönmez 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hi all; First of all I myself have been testing KMail2 for long before shipping it as an update, until the 4.7 release day we have been having random problems related to Akonadi, so we decided to switch Akonadi to use SQLite backend instead of MySQL. This resulted in an actually working KMail2. Now, some of you are pissed asking why we switched to SQLite without discussing it, the reason was that MySQL backend simply didn't work for us and we faced a tough decision, either we were going to ship something that doesn't even work on our development machines or ship with SQLite backend accept that some Akonadi operations can block the Graphical User Interface (eg. kmail). I couldn't ship a known-to-be broken software with a straight face, so I changed akonadi to use SQLite backend, which btw Fedora is now defaulting (they did before us). Please don't feel personal about this, this is not about listening to community, discussing with the community. This is about not shipping with known-broken software. I hope this clears up some confusion.

[opensuse-kde] KDE SC 4.7-YaST, local directory can not be added!
by Lisufas Linuxfreunde 31 Jul '11

31 Jul '11

Hi together, My System: openSUSE 11.3 (32Bit) + Kernel: 3.0.0-1-Desktop KDE SC 4.7.0 packages from KDF Repos. My problem: Start→ YaST → Software → "Repositorys add" ↓ → Add "locales directory" → klick to "search" ↓ → ends with error message: "Cuold not start process. Cannot start klaucher. Not connected to D-Bus server." The same procedure applies for adding "locales iso image". So that is a add from local directories/iso' s not possible! Starting YaST → Software → (... to the above error message ....) from the terminal, providing no error message. Can anyone confirm this? A beautiful Sunday still out there ....
