[opensuse-kde] herqq package naming
by todd rme 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

openSUSE:Factory rejected the herqq package because it doesn't comply with library naming conventions. It was suggested I use a name like libherqq0. There is a complication, however: there is no libherqq. There are two different libraries provided by the package: libHUpnp.so.1 [.0[.0]] libQtSolutions_SOAP-2.7.so.1 [.0[.0]] However, the name of the tarball is: herqq-1.0.0.tar.bz2 There is also a -devel package whose name needs to be considered So I see several possible solutions to this: 1. libherqq1 and libherqq1-devel 2. libherqq1 and herqq-devel 3. libhupnp1 and libhupnp1-devel 4. libhupnp1 and herqq-devel 5. libhupnp1, libQtSolutions_SOAP1, and herqq-devel 6. libhupnp1, libQtSolutions_SOAP1, libhupnp1-devel, and libQtSolutions_SOAP1-devel (this seems to be how Ubuntu does it) 5 and 6 are more complicated, but with reciprocal requires it shouldn't complicate the installation. Those approaches also better follow library naming conventions. 1 and 2 follow the tarball name, but do not reflect the name of the library. 3 and 4 reflect the name of the library, but hide the fact that there is another library in there. Considering this is a complicated and unusual case, I would prefer to have someone with more experience and a better feel for the long-term implications make the decision. I know I am not supposed to be messing with packages in KDF right now, but this isn't part of the update and I need to submit a new version to openSUSE:Factory ASAP in order to make sure it gets in, so please let me know right away. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Support for Firefox button
by Malte Gell 05 Sep '11

05 Sep '11

Hi there, recent releases of Mozilla Firefox have a nice, big orange button under MS Windows. The button is nicely integrated into the window decoration. Why don´t we have this with Linux / KDE window decorations? Can´t the KDE window decorations be expanded with the Firefox button? I think that would be a cool feature and give us that cool look under Linux / KDE too.

[opensuse-kde] No Widget Folder View of Desktop on the Desktop
by Freek de Kruijf 04 Sep '11

04 Sep '11

I am testin openSUSE 12.1 M5. Previously, also in openSUSE 12.1 M3, logging in for the first time in KDE in the user account, one gets a Folder View of the Desktop folder with some basic icons in it, like My Computer. This is no longer the case. Is this intentionally, an issue others have, or is it something only I see? After creation this Folder View and changing its position, logging out and in again, the position is in the centre of the screen. Putting it in its intended position again, upper left corner, logging off and on, now it remains in that position. Also on the panel, to the right of KDE Kickoff there are two icons to start Dolphin, one having the size it used to be, the other smaller, the same for the Firefox icon. Others having the same issues? Should I make a bug report, KDE or open SUSE? -- fr.gr.

[opensuse-kde] Which Qt graphics system to use?
by Malte Gell 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

Are my assumptions sane: X11/render: most stable but not too much performance Raster: reasonably stable, more performance OpenGL: highly experimental, sometimes unstable I cannot start a KDE 4.7 session with OpenGL system, raster works fine, but I had some issues with Firefox 6 that hung sometimes with some tabs opened. So I switched back now to X11/render. Would you say X11/render Qt system is the most stable? Does the Qt graphics system have any impact on KDE eyecandy that uses OpenGL? My KDE eyecandy has good performance, it doesn´t seem to be slower with X11/render as Qt system settings.

[opensuse-kde] QtCurve second look.
by Roger Luedecke 03 Sep '11

03 Sep '11

In the past I had advocated switching to QtCurve as default since it seems to integrate the various toolkits better. The primary objection was that it did not perform as well as Oxygen. With the latest theme I created, I took to a minimalist approach of leess is more. Thus, the background gradient is almost non existent and I didn't use any sort of background image. This minor change to the way I did my custom themes has radically affected performance, such that I no longer see any difference between QtCurve and Oxygen. Please see the screenshot to behold Mozilla, GTK, KDE, and whatever TK Libre Office uses living in near perfect harmony. The inspiration for this theme was from Mandriva 2011. http://wstaw.org/m/2011/09/03/qtharmony.png If there is any curiosity in regards to other thematic changes: Faenza-Cupertino icon theme (I like the clean buttony square look) Oxywin Plasma theme (brilliantly well done may I add, no glitches.) Droid Sans font everywhere (its nice and clean and smooth) QtCurve color scheme I removed the Menu Bar from Firefox since it looks less cluttered and gives me a little more screen real estate on my netbook. A note; If you haven't tried Clementine you totally should. I tried it and never looked at another music player again. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

I assume that Tumbleweed does not have all the packages from KDE:Extra, therefore building KDE:Extra for Tumbleweed would be logical. The packages are : kde4-ROSA-icontheme (The icon theme used in Mandriva 2011) kde4-desktoptheme-ROSA (the KDE desktoptheme) kde4-style-iaora (The KDE4 widget and window style) plasmoid-ROSA-launcher (the application launcher, also called SimpleWindows) plasmoid-ROSA-panel (the Rocketbar panel used instead of the standard KDE panel). plasmoid-ROSA-stackfolder (The stackfolder plasmoid as used in the Rocketbar panel) It might take some time to build and to get published.

[opensuse-kde] kde4-filesystem
by todd rme 02 Sep '11

02 Sep '11

Can somebody explain the purpose of kde4-filesystem? I am unclear, for example, why the library directories are generated there rather than in the kdelibs package, or why, for example, obsoletes of kdsdk4 packages are put there rather than kdesdk4. I know that things like the macros need to be installed, but I am not clear why directories and obsoletes are placed there rather than with the packages that need them. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org

Looks to me that Mandriva has implemented several useful features and ideas. Alot of what I'm seeing looks like some of the ideas I have had. Lets take a look, and see if we get any good ideas eh? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help(a)opensuse.org
