[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...

[opensuse-kde] KDE:Release:47 -- konsole regression
by Jon Nelson 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

the konsole that comes with the updates (4.7.2) had a very important bugfix applied. The konsole that comes with KDE:Release:47 does *not* have this bugfix applied. The issue is: - Fix resize of the konsole window (bnc#692446) I request a fix to konsole in KDE:Release:47 (and any other relevant repos). Thank you. -- 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] KDF, KR, and/or updates
by Jon Nelson 12 Jan '12

12 Jan '12

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? If I wanted to run a *stable* 4.7.X that was newer than what shipped with 12.1, what would I use? -- 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] My KDE crashed
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 11 Jan '12

11 Jan '12

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? Need some assistance in order to get my KDE working and /or my backtrace out to the right place. -- Linux User 183145 using LXDE and KDE4 on a Pentium IV , powered by openSUSE 11.4 (i586) Kernel: 3.2.0-3-desktop LXDE WM & KDE Development Platform: 4.7.4 (4.7.4) 23:33pm up 0:19, 2 users, load average: 0.49, 1.06, 1.37 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

Sven, I have repeatedly mentioned the following issues, which are quite a problem for users in my opinion. My final comment in the first bug is particularly relevant to the issue at hand. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727821 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=356553 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=659153 and its accompanying bug: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=725412 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=720746 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=729892 We in the community file detailed reports, but getting issues fixed is like pulling teeth. And even when a fix is supplied by the community the bug just gets closed as WONTFIX.

RE: [opensuse-kde] Reevaluating updater and PolKit. [was QA testing team plan.]
by Malvern Star 11 Jan '12

> I read last year that someone is working on a Yast Updater Applet. > > Can anyone confirms this? > > > Cheers! > > Roman Well my first question is what updater was openSuSE using in 11.2 and 11.3? What about earlier updater applets from 11.0 and 11.1? openSUSE has had several since I first started using it at version 9.3. It seems the updater included around 10.3 or 11.0 was much more reliable... Why was it changed?
