[opensuse-kde] openSUSE's most annoying KDE bugs
by Sven Burmeister 29 Aug '11

29 Aug '11

Hey! KDE has two bugs in the "most annoying section" which seem to be resolvable. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=675405 has patches upstream. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=673755 which could be resolved by installing the mobile-broadband-provider-info package according to http://euroquis.nl/bobulate/?p=1211. At least the latter could be provided as optional/recommended update.

[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] Cannot "send link" from Firefox under KDE4.7
by Anton Aylward 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Please see http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Changing%20the%20e-mail%20program%20use… for the basics & background. I'm talking about the "Send link" option from the _F_ile menu. I've experimented and this doesn't work. What I've done is set up a shell script that uses 'logger' to indicate its been invoked and then execute 'thunderbird', in place of the calls to 'thunderbird' in the instructions of the above. Its clear that this script is NOT getting executed. The script does work, I've used it manually. The path - whatever - from Firefox by whatever internal path is not executing the program filled in. I've tried this with both the Firefox from the openSuSE repository and the one downloaded Mozilla. This is currently FF 6 and TB 6, but I tried upgrading because this problem arose with FF 5 and TB 5 under KDE4.7 -- "Do not be quick to reveal judgement. Hidden judgement often is more potent.

[opensuse-kde] KMail2 + Akonadi : need facts and feedback
by Bruno Friedmann 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

I would like to migrate my email to kmail2. I've tested with a small account and found 5407 message stored in ./local/share/akonadi/file_db_data ? My concern start here, in any filesystem, there's limits in the number of object inside the same folders. For us, it's quite high before ext4/btrfs/xfs will complain, but after a certain amount, penalty perfs occurs. That's why database, or cache server limit the number of object per folders for example, and why people that never purge their primary inbox suffer under imap. (I wouldn't think about a poor man with kde4/pim stack installed on a 16GB fat32 phone card) I've to synchronize my two main accounts which contain each something like ~580000 messages each (Yeap a lot, but that all my emails stored from the beginning of 1994) How will react akonadi in a such case ? Did someone on the list has already setup a such amount of file ? I don't know the developers motivation (apart the fact to not know how to do better) and I don't understand why they don't replicate the folders structure I've on the server.

[opensuse-kde] Kmail2, synchronizing email
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Running the latest update of kmail (4.7.0-290.6) I am still surprised by the time it takes to synchronize folders. I have some big folders which I seldom use but which are synchronized every time I get email from my pop accounts (30 minutes intervals). I would think it should be possible to improve this synchronizing. Something like, finding out if something has changed since the last time in a folder. If nothing has brought in via the filter, do not synchronize that folder. Why the trash folder is synchronized is something I also do not understand. Trash is what it is, just trash. Could somebody explain why synchronizing works like it does?

[opensuse-kde] Clipboard problems since KDE-Update
by Marcel Witte 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

Hey, since one of the last KDE-Updates from KDF the clipboars is not really working anymore. The Mark, Copy&Paste using the middle mouse button is not working anymore, and the klipper is not getting any copied strings. I see this on two machines. Is this a known bug?

by Malte Gell 26 Aug '11

26 Aug '11

Hi there, I use Kmail2, kmail-4.7.0-10.1.x86_64, and when deleting messages, especially from IMAP folders, Kmail reports of "conflicts" and which message to keep. I hoped this was already fixed, but is is till there. Malte -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] konqueror and konqueror-plugins packaging
by todd rme 25 Aug '11

25 Aug '11

I am working on the kdebase4 package, and I am a bit confused by the konqueror packaging. As best as I can tell, the konqueror package, besides containing all the konqueror files, also contains all the files for konqueror-plugins, and provides konqueror-plugins. However, there is also still a konqueror-plugins package. What is the reason it was done this way rather than having konqueror require konqueror-plugins? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] In Repo KR:47, zero Networkmanagement?
by LisufasGnome3 24 Aug '11

24 Aug '11

Hello maintainer of KR: 47, Not only do I use openSUSE 11.3 yet, but am wondering which unfortunately still not the same packages for the Network Management (Networkmanager, Networkmanagement, Plasmoid-KNetworkManager etc) as part of KDF KR: 47 are available. Is it possible to extend this even after missing packages please? It would be nice if the users are actually using openSUSE 11.3 still have, like user of openSUSE 11.4 with the latest packages (0.9.1) of network management. As always, I thank you in advance for services working!
