[opensuse-kde] today's KR47 upgrade - virtuoso uses 100%
by Jon Nelson 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

I upgraded some packages today from KR47. 1. plasma crashed (and moved the screen edge of the taskbar -- very annoying) 2. virtuoso is /hammering/ the CPU. I've already nepomuk search and contacts in krunner. No change. virtuoso-t can *not* be ltraced. It dies with SIGTRAP. What gives? -- Jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Rename oxygen-gtk package to oxygen-gtk2 in K:D:F
by Asterios Dramis 18 Jan '12

18 Jan '12

Hi, A new version of oxygen-gtk was just released (1.2.0). Along with this its name changed to oxygen-gtk2 in order to avoid confusion with oxygen-gtk3 (which supports gtk-3.x). I think it makes sense to also rename the oxygen-gtk package to oxygen-gtk2 in K:D:F since: oxygen-gtk2 (means support for gtk 2.x) oxygen-gtk3 (means support for gtk 3.x) What do you think? You can find the renamed package in https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=oxygen- gtk2&project=home%3Aadra Asterios -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Hopes for 12.2
by Roger Luedecke 15 Jan '12

15 Jan '12

Frankly, 12.1 KDE has been so painful in many regards that i have rolled back my machines to 11.4 Gnome. I'm hoping that the KDE team will look on the many problems, and rather than push new technologies will instead press to fix the issues plaguing 12.1. Though 11.4 was rough out of the gates, it could be easily worked around and was almost entirely fixed and stabilized less than two months after its release. Frankly, with the minor decrease in quality and consistency of 11.4 and then the more serious issue around 12.1 I fear for the fate of openSUSE. I hope we can engage a meaningful dialog to address these issues and aim for a better product. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] openSUSE12.1, KDE4.7.4: digiKam 2.5.0 and google maps
by Anders Stedtlund 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Hi, I have built digiKam 2.5.0 and libkgeomap myself and I have problems with google maps when e.g. doing geo tagging inside digiKam. The problem is that I can't pan the map. If using Marble instead everything is working. The same happens when testing with the calibrator shell in libkgeomap. Anyone here been able to build this in openSUSE 12.1 with KDE 4.7.4 and have it working with google maps? What can I be missing? At first I couldn't even select google maps, I received a message about bad URL. I installed some dev packages, think it was something about libkonq... Then it got rid of the error message, but now I'm stuck at this new syndrome. /Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] New ISO scheme.
by Roger Luedecke 13 Jan '12

13 Jan '12

Considering the problems we have had in the past with our various disk images, I propose the following scheme. One DVD size .iso with a live image. Mandriva does this, and it seems sensible. In regards to being able to use a Gnome or KDE live environment, we could make it selectable, after the fashion of CentOS. The live environments would not be persistent, seeing as we have had alot of issues with that... and it would seem more sensible that if a user wants a persistent USB they should just use susestudio which would give them greater control anyway. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] X Server Not Starting
by Malvern Star 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

Hi guys, I've been testing 12.1 on one of my boxes, with the intent to use it as a MythTV system. I've run into a bit of a problem however - my X server is no longer starting. I have installed the machine from scratch twice. Each time, I applied updates, made some minor changes on the desktop (I'm running KDE of course) and then enabled mysql, lirc and samba. All seemed to go well, but when I rebooted, KDE would no longer start - I get stuck at console. I have determined that setting samba to start at boot time is the cause of this. I have no idea why this is the case, and starting samba via the command line *after* KDE has loaded works just fine and it functions normally. This... shouldn't be happening should it...

I'm on a largely stock openSUSE 12.1 system, with which I am well pleased. I saw discussion that seemed to suggest that 4.7.4 was going to be put out as an update. What is the timeframe for that, if it's going to happen?

[opensuse-kde] My KDE crashed

Most probably due to the last update my KDe crashed. I dutifully started the crash report and downloaded the required missing debug programs. The backtrace was not completed. I found that 4 programs said to be missing, /usr/lib/libqca.so.2, /usr/bin/kdeinit4, /lib/libdl.so.2 and /lib/ld-linux.so.2 All of these programs were installed and there. Would the incomplete backtrace give enough info in order to get the cause of the crash?

[opensuse-kde] QA testing team plan.
by Roger Luedecke 10 Jan '12

10 Jan '12

I think in a previous thread we identified some issues, and some possible solutions. I think to help assure the quality of our distro we need to create a QA team, with a good structure. One of the issues will be having strong centralized communication. I believe I can provide an excellent tool for this, as long as nobody is opposed to using an outside tool. 1. Establish QA team and resources 2. Divide the team into units 1. Assign area heads based on speciality. 2. Divide KDE testing into logical blocks of applications, such as plasma team, PIM team, etc. 3. Establish triaging guidelines and methodology. 1. Looks like the wiki has good guidelines on this 2. Check and compile lists from Bugzilla to create test cases 4. Efficient testing 1. Assign testing tasks and blocks to team members (self assigned or team sublead assigned is fine) 2. Track tasks, and keep notes. 1. The tool I have in mind and have access to is supremely suited to this. 5. Report findings 1. File new bug reports in the case of a bug being SOLVED, and flag the old possibly associated bugs with the new report. Check upstream for related reports. 2. Compile task list of outstanding bug findings, and check with upstream to see if problem is known or patched. 1. If the bug is unknown, file a new report with KDE 2. If the bug is patched, add to list of fixes that need to be applied. I think that about covers it.

[opensuse-kde] Strigi indexing
by Vesa Muhonen 09 Jan '12

09 Jan '12

Hi! Every time I login to KDE Strigi nofies me that "Strigi is indexing files for full search. This may take a while" or something to that order. It does this on background and as such doesn't cause any delays or such. However, I was wondering why it always after done its job notifies something in the lines of "Strigi has finished initial indexing which took...". The surprise here being the 'initial' indexing each time I login. Looking at the config file .kde4/share/config/nepomukstrigirc I find the line first run=true, which at first look appears to be wrong as this definitely is not first time I have run this. Does anyone know is this a bug in Strigi behaviour and how to fix if in case it is? -- Vesa Muhonen <vesa.muhonen(a)iki.fi> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Uninstallable Calligra for KDE:Release:47
by todd rme 08 Jan '12

08 Jan '12

We received a report on the KDE forums about an issue with calligra. The user is using KDE:Release:47 on openSUSE 11.4. For that repo, the only way to get the Calligra betas is through KDE:UpdatedApps. However, this version is built against openSUSE 11.4 base, which means it depends on Marble 4.6.0 and will not install with Marble 4.7.4. Would it be possible to add Calligra beta to KDE:Release:47? I know KDE:Release:47 is supposed to only be stable software, but for such a large, critical, and popular piece of software I think an exception can be made, especially since it is largely co-installable with the last stable release (kOffice 2.3) and users can pick the one they want. The only issues are a few apps that were not renamed like krita, users will receive an automatic upgrade for those. I don't know if this is acceptable or not. Another option would be to add calligra to KDE:Extra as well, and perhaps remove it from UpdatedApps (or not). This would guarantee it is available for all repos, but might still have the auto-update issue depending on each user's repo priority. -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
