[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] File conflict between kdelibs3 and kdelibs4
by Andreas Jaeger 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Building of LibreOffice fails with: installing kdelibs4-4.8.1-2.1 file /usr/share/man/man1/checkXML.1.gz from install of kdelibs4-4.8.1-2.1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kdelibs3-3.5.10-58.1.x86_64 exit ... This file conflict needs to be resolved, could you find a solution, please? Btw. I wonder why LibreOffice needs both kdelibs - still the conflicts needs to be resolved, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj(a){suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Call for testing: New factory glibc
by Andreas Jaeger 02 Apr '12

02 Apr '12

I have a new glibc that contains fixes for two problems that have biten a few of you: * crashes in chromium or ktorrent if nscd is not running (or unscd is used) (bnc#741021) * Fix crash in KDE while starting glibc (bnc#753251). For the second bug I have confirmation that it's fixed on x86 but it might be that x86-64 contains another bug. Since the fix for the KDE crash involved removing another patch (and adding a couple of backports) and that patch fixed a rather large showstopper for openSUSE 11.4 (the missing symbols in KDE and subversion - bnc#657627), I'm doing a call for testing: If you're hit by either of the bugs, please test the new glibc from: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/a_jaeger:/my-factory-packag… Also, testing by others is welcome to be sure that the glibc does not introduce new bugs like the 11.4 showstopper. Please report any results back to me - or better use the two bugzilla mentioned above. thanks, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger aj(a){suse.com,opensuse.org} Twitter/Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn,Jennifer Guild,Felix Imendörffer,HRB16746 (AG Nürnberg) GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] annoying/long standing bugs -> TODOs for 12.2
by Christian Trippe 31 Mar '12

31 Mar '12

Hello, during the last meeting on IRC there was an agreement that for KDE on 12.2 stability and polish should be the main focus. So one task was to collect often reported and/or annoying bugs which where reported for openSUSE =< 12.1 and to check if they are still valid and if yes to fix them with reasonable effort. To support this I tried to collect a list of such bugs in the wiki: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:KDE_Annoying_Bugs My main focus was here clearly on openSUSE specific bugs as IMHO many of the (most visible) bugs in 4.7 are fixed with 4.8. Although kdepim will surely have high priority for the upcoming release. If you have know other bugs, where you think they would fit in this list, feel free to add them as I surely have misted some. It would be even more helpful, if you could check if some of these bugs really still exist with 12.2 and this is not only based on my guess. The best thing of course would be if you could fix some of them. Christian Ps: The above of course does not only apply to the bugs mentioned in the above wiki page, but to all the (KDE related) bugs on bugzilla.novell.com. Helping with bug triage is always welcome and an easy way to contribute. If you want to help the following pages should have the necessary information and you always ask on the mailing list and on IRC: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bugreport_KDE http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_Screening_KDE http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Bug_Squashing_KDE -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

> It is hard to call the disastrous rollback of Linux desktop back by five or or possibly ten years a "progress". can you enlighten us, how did you quantify this, five possible ten years regress, please? in a critical thinking manner of course... or is the usual argument... I cannot see it because I was not touched by the magic of kde3? or I cannot understand your argument because I use critical thinking and not love of kde3? do not misunderstand me... I am very tolerant... you can keep building your software on obs... if you convince enough people you can even get a link in yast within community repos that lets people to install it... but having these discussions every single time when a kde3 package fails or conflicts with a kde4 is boring and stupid...

[opensuse-kde] aspell
by Cor Blom 28 Mar '12

28 Mar '12

Hi, KDE is built with both aspell and enchant support. Enchant is a frontend for different backend (hunspell/myspell is default, but the package in openSUSE has also support for aspell, ispell and a few more specialised backends). KDE does not have a real interface to choose between aspell of enchant. You can only choose the language and when both aspell and myspell dictionaries are installed, you get two possibilities for each language and only through some experimenting you can discover which choise belong to which spellchecker backend. Not really user friendly. I would like to do a SR to remove aspell from the BuildRequires in kdelibs4. KDE is then build only with enchant. I already did an experimental build in home:cornelisbb:spellcheck and did not discover any problems. But first I like to ask for some feedback. The choice for enchant is to be preferred, because hun/myspell is then default. A combination of hunspell and enchant is then used systemwide as default in the most important apps: firefox, thunderbird, libreoffice, gnome. Installing the myspell dictionaries is then enough.

[opensuse-kde] Nepomuk cannot be disabled to prevent its announcement of failure to start every login
by Felix Miata 27 Mar '12

27 Mar '12

[I started to write this up as a bug, then decided better to discuss here, as I have no idea whether this is a mere packaging issue specific to openSUSE or not. I looked for something like it upstream and found nothing.] I had to do a textmode 12.2M2 install, so to minimize the pain only did a minimal server, with Grub Legacy and sysvinit-init. Then I did zypper al (inter alia) kdepim4 to try to keep it minimal, then added various X/KDE packages using only zypper, with solver.onlyRequires = true, a truly minimal KDE intended. I thought that would give me 0 *pim* packages installed, but kdepimlibs4 and libkdepimlibs4 got installed anyway, and trying to zypper rm them wants to remove essentially all of KDE. On every KDE login, "Semantic Data Storage; Nepomuk Semantic Desktop needs the Virtuoso RDF server to store its data. Installing the Virtuoso Soprano plugin is mandatory for using Nepomuk." I don't want Nepomuk to do anything, so I want to disable it, but cannot, because systemsettings also says some requirement is unfulfilled that disables the whole panel from being used to turn Nepomuk off. Whatever makes Nepomuk try to start should also ensure systemsettings can be used to configure it, so the package containing it should pull in whatever it depends on during its installation, and refuse to install if the dep is not fulfilled. If that is a situation that is impossible or impractical to implement, at the very least, when its dep is not available (not installed), Nepomuk should never even try to start. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] ksysguard rpm missing files
by Martin Koller 26 Mar '12

26 Mar '12

In the RPMs from KDE:/Release:/48/openSUSE_12.1/ there are the files missing, which come from the sourcetree in KDE kde-workspace/libs/ksysguard/scripts/ whichs leads to the problem, that the context menu in the "System Activity" (Taskmanager) does no longer include the "detailed memory report" entry. With KDE 4.6.5 on an openSuse 11.3 system I find the files in the package kdebase4-workspace-4.6.5-9.1.i586, e.g.: /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/README /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/smaps /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/smaps/helper.js /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/smaps/index.html /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/smaps/main.js /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/smaps/smaps.desktop /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/smaps/sorttable.js /usr/share/kde4/apps/ksysguard/scripts/smaps/style.css The files are neither in kdebase4-workspace-4.8.1-729.7.i586 nor in kdebase4-workspace-ksysguardd-4.8.1-729.7.i586 Can these files be included again, please ? -- Best regards/Schöne Grüße Martin A: Because it breaks the logical sequence of discussion Q: Why is top posting bad?
