[opensuse-kde] context menus & window backgrounds, brief corrupt image
by johnm 04 Jul '12

04 Jul '12

openSUSE 12.1 x86_64, ATI catalyst / fglrx driver 11.12, KDE 4.7.2 I assumed this was just some quirk only affecting myself, but maybe I'll ask if anyone else is seeing this. Whenever I right click to open a context menu, it briefly draws some corrupt garbage looking stuff where the context menu should be. It quickly disappears and the context menu is drawn properly... ? This happens with 'desktop effects' enabled or disabled. Although it is less garbage-y looking with them disabled. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[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] Advice about availability of KDE 4.8 (for 12.1 as a for instance)
by Basil Chupin 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

One of the great things about Linux is the variety of choices one has in using what one's heart desires. And the really great thing about openSUSE is this vast choice which one gets to select from when one wants to install something. Take for example the choice of repos when one comes to, say, something like KDE. There is the Factory repo. There is the Unstable repo. And there is Stable repo. Not to mention the Playground repo. Oh, I missed the SC repo. All good stuff. But what do they REALLY mean to the man in the street? SFA really. I am reading that KDE 4.8 has been officially released but as yet has not quite reached openSUSE repo(s) [something about being built, or something]. Would it be presumptuous of me to ask the powers-to-be to please clearly announce when KDE 4.8 becomes available and announce in, say, opensuse-announce and even in this mail list but to also CLEARLY state what the repos are and should be added to Software Management repository list to be able to upgrade one's (12.1 system, now running KDE 4.7) to KDE 4.8? Pretty please? But with another condition as an addendum: none of this KFC, CIA, ABC. et al local, gooblydook, jargon abbreviations but real, true to life, list of all the repositories required to get the job done such as (picked out of thin air): http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Unstable:/Playground/ [EXAMPLE ONLY!] OK? Is it a deal? BC -- But when you take arms from people, then you start to upset them, you show you do not trust them because you are frightened or cagey.

[opensuse-kde] kmail-migration KDE 4.6 to KDE 4.8, Opensuse 11.4
by Peter Mc Donough 29 Jan '12

29 Jan '12

Hi, I'd like to use Digikam 2.5, which is available in KDE 4.8. Presently I use happily Opensuse 11.4 with KDE Updated Apps, Digikam 2.3 and everthing works fine apart from a little "feature" in Digikam which is fixed in 2.5, so adding the upstream release KR48 should be all that is necessary. I had tried an update to KDE 4.7 with Opensuse 11.4, later with 12.1 but both times run into a problem with kmail-migration. Solutions offered in mailing-list turned out to work not that well with my Kmail, so I stayed in 11.4, respectively kde 4.6. I'd like to give kmail-migration another try. Has there been improvement in kmail-migration? cu Peter -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] 12.2 planning
by Will Stephenson 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

Apologies for being so quiet over Xmas - I was gathering the energies for a busy 2012 to make openSUSE bigger than ever. It's high time we nailed down what we will do for KDE in 12.2. We can separate these into things we want to do, and things we have to do. None of these lists are complete IMO, please help to fill them out. ==Have To== These are external factors that we have little influence over, that we have to react to * openSUSE 12.2 Release Schedule 12.2 is scheduled for release on 11 July 2012 [1]. Beta 1 is our traditional freeze for major version bumps, usually about 6 weeks before release, so we have until June to change things. There is no detailed 12.2 roadmap from Coolo yet [2]. * Upstream KDE Release Schedule There is no 4.9 schedule yet (what is it with release managers and christmas?) but since KDE follows a 6-monthly cycle, add a year to the 4.7 schedule and we would have 4.9.0 on July 27 2012. So this is out for us. This means we'll probably have 4.8.4 in 12.2. ** Package version updates ** Default configuration adaptations required by 4.8 * Factors affecting KDE in the rest of the distro Traditionally we end up reacting to these late and 'best-effort', usually because these are changes to the platform authored by redhat, adopted by openSUSE and GNOME gets them for 'free' from upstream RH, or because some other part of SUSE decides it doesn't want to take care of a feature for us any more. I'd like us to be aware of these as early as possible this time, work out the implications and the work required to turn these changes into opportunities for us rather than damage limitation exercises. ** Plymouth as bootsplash ** Systemd changes in 12.2 I don't know what these are, but I suspect they may have some influence on KDM ** Kernel/Driver changes The forces of evolution here may require updates in the KWin driver blacklists we ship ** Updated branding We need to integrate any branding changes that come out of the artwork team and make sure they meet our needs. ==Want To=== These are things we would like to do as a value addition to the purely mechanistic changes pushed on us by upstream. I have a few things in mind, to kick the discussion off I'll mention a couple here: * Quality focus 4.8, and 4.8.4 should be highly stable from upstream (changes to the platform are happening in the KDE Frameworks 5 work, so it and any 4.9 are going to be very incremental). As a distribution we can build on this with polish and targeted bugfixing based on our users' feedback. Of course things like Apper + stack, Akonadi + stack, Nepomuk + stack are big items here, but also many things that are simpler to contribute to, such as missing icons, improving translations, clarifying bad strings in the UI, cleaning up the start menu tree, setting default package selections can be done. * Improving Activity usability There is still a way to go to make Activities a "Duh! Why didn't we always do things like that". Based on a bit of common sense and a bit of feedback, I think we should be able to make Activities a lot better with a manageable amount of work, and submit this upstream for 4.9. * Integrate Plasma Active in openSUSE A lot of PA stuff has only been usable using git branches, but these should be mostly integrated to make a current version of PA in openSUSE doable by know. Since open-slx is our downstream, most of the work is already done. As a final note, please keep the discussion constructive - if your only contribution to 12.2 will be a badly spelled thread hijacking to complain about everything we did wrong, you will have just taken 5 minutes out of everyone else who can make useful changes' openSUSE time, so take it to /dev/null and yourself to the opensuse-kde3 perfect code museum list.

[opensuse-kde] kdesu does not work
by Malte Gell 26 Jan '12

26 Jan '12

I have a strange problem, kdesu does not work on openSUSE 12.1. When I invoke kdesu -c /sbin/yast2 nothing happens, no error message, nothing, no anything. Does anyone have the same issue with openSUSE 12.1 and kdesu or does anyone have a hint for me?

[opensuse-kde] changing length of new KDE control bar
by Malte Gell 25 Jan '12

25 Jan '12

Hello, to get an application starter I have added a new control bar (or whatever this is called) to put icons in. I can change the width of that bar, but not the length. Since I have only few icons in it, I would like to shorten it, but it does not seem to work. Does anyone have a hint?

[opensuse-kde] unsupported media type application/x-konsole

Anyway, installing kdebase3-apps does not cause the shell file to open anyway. This is not a bug in KDE3 because KDE3 is discontinued. Bug KDE 292378 submitted.

[opensuse-kde] »KOrganizer Reminder Daemon« doesn't remind me anymore
by Torsten Roters 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

After you upgrade from OpenSUSE 11.4 to 12.1 I do not get reminders from KOrganizer Reminder Daemon anymore. Neither Birthdays from the KDE Address Book nor appointments from the Calendar do show up. My frirst guess was to delete ~/.kde4/share/config/korgacrc and ~/.kde4/share/config/korganizerrc but this dindn't helped. Are there any additional suggestions (or a solution) to solve this issue?

[opensuse-kde] Looking for nice application starter
by Malte Gell 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

Since cairo dock does not seem to work fully with openSUSE 12.1 I am looking for a KDE alternative. Does anyone know a cute application starter comparable to cairo dock? I tried plasmoid fancy tasks, it comes close to my wishes but it seems to be awkward to change its size.

[opensuse-kde] Upcoming changes to the KDE:Unstable:Playground
by Christophe Giboudeaux 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

hi, To prepare for the imminent KDE 4.8 release and keep the amount of built packages reasonable, some repositories will be removed from KDE:Unstable:Playground in the next few days. The following repositories are concerned: - KDE_Release_46_openSUSE_11.3 - KDE_Release_46_openSUSE_11.4 - KDE_Release_47_openSUSE_11.3 - openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Distro_Factory - openSUSE_11.3_KDE_Unstable_SC The idea behind this decision: - Unstable programs means higher build dependencies - If you use some legacy repositories, you're probably not interested in unstable programs. If you're using one of these flavors, please disable this repository before the end of this month. Christophe

[opensuse-kde] Digikam database migration sqlite -> mysql fails
by Rodney Baker 21 Jan '12

21 Jan '12

This was originally asked on opensuse(a)opensuse.org but got no responses, so I'm trying the KDE list. Hi all. I'm hoping someone else may have come across this and found a solution. I wanted to convert my digikam setup from sqlite to mysql. Digikam includes a database migration tool so I; -Set up a user for digikam in mysql -Created 2 empty databases as required by digikam (one called digikam, one called thumbnails) -Granted global priveleges to the digikam user (UGLY! but it won't work otherwise - digikam complains that "CREATE TRIGGER" priveleges are not granted if you only grant database-level privleges) :-( -Configured digikam to talk to the correct mysql database -Clicked on "Test DB Connection" in Digikam and got "Database connection test successful". So far so good. Unfortunately, when trying to use the database migration tool, I get the an error message: "Error while creating the database schema". Go into mysql and confirm that "show tables;" in each database returns an empty result, so nothing has been created in the databases. OK, maybe digikam wants to create the databases itself..."drop database <dbname>;" - digikam then complains "Error opening target database". Recreate the databases, double check priveleges, still the same result. Running Digikam 2.3.0, KDE 4.6.5 on oS 11.4 with mysql 5.1.53. Has anyone gotten this to work recently? TIA, Rodney. PS There is an open bug for this - according to the bug report it was supposed to have been fixed in 2.0.0 (the bug was raised against 1.9.5) but it seems not to be fixed...it is also reported to work with Ubuntu but to be broken in Fedora and, it seems, oS. Perhaps there is something not correctly packaged... -- =================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker(a)iinet.net.au =================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.8 and KDE:Distro:Factory
by Dirk Müller 20 Jan '12

20 Jan '12

Hi, I would like to put KDE 4.8.0 (or 4.8 RC3 rather for now) into KDE:Distro:Factory. The reason is the sooner we start, the better we find the problems. Currently we have 4.7.4 in KDE:Distro:Factory and in KDE:Release:47. I would like to have your opinion on how to move forward: a) I copy KDE 4.7.4 from KDE:Distro:Factory to KDE:Distro:Stable, and delink KDE:Release:47 from KDE:Distro:Factory. Then I Import KDE 4.8 into KDE:Distro:Factory and copy whatever is needed from Unstable:SC to make it build and work. This would mean that future maintenannce updates for 12.1 are based on 4.7.4. I think that is okay, there have even be requests to release 4.7.4 as a maintenance update (in general we're pro this change). b) I delink KDE:Release:47 from KDE:Distro:Factory and leave it at 4.7.4, and then import KDE 4.8 into KDE:Distro:Factory (and copy whatever is needed from Unstable:SC to make it build and work). in this case 12.1 updates would stay on 4.7.2, users who want the later fixes would need to switch to KDE:Release:47 I prefer a). any comments?
