[opensuse-kde] Removing Dolphin launcher?
by Thomas Taylor 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi Fellow KDErs, I've been trying to remove the Dolphin and Firefox launchers from the bottom toolbar without sucess. Every time after booting I remove them and the next restart/boot they are back again. Is there some way to remove them permanently? Thanks, Tom -- “What we do for ourselves dies with us.

[opensuse-kde] openSUSE 12.2 packages - possibly mistaken builds
by todd rme 31 Jul '12

31 Jul '12

I was comparing the building of KDF and KR49 packages, and noticed some packages that are possibly being built for openSUSE 12.2 by mistake. These packages are disabled for openSUSE 12.1 and Factory, but are enabled for 12.2. These are likely mistakes. If these are mistakes, it is probably good to disable building these packages by default. cmake freetds frei0r-plugins gavl gfxboot kdebase4-openSUSE_11.3 - should probably be deleted (I already submitted a request) kdebase4-openSUSE_11.4 lcms2 libraw These are disabled for factory, but enabled for 12.1 and 12.2. 12.2 should be pretty close to factory, so these may or may not be mistakes.

Especially since it will pull in > new libraries and updated versions of old libraries, potentially > destabilizing the system. This is a more general issue than KR 49, so I am splitting this into a different thread. The issue is how long we will support openSUSE and evergreen releases in different repositories. There are several issues: 1. The load on obs. 2. The maintenance load 3. Whether there is actually demand for this 1 and 2 become more serious as time goes on, because successive KDE releases add new library dependencies, and updated library version dependencies, which increases the load on OBS, makes maintenance more difficult, and potentially decreases the stability of the distribution. So my personal feelings on this are as follows: KDE:Extra and KDE:UpdatedApps should probably be kept through the evergreen period, but certainly at least for the lifetime of each release. However, packages failing for old releases should be expected and minimal, if any, effort should go into keeping packages building for evergreen (although obviously unnecessary changes that break old releases should be avoided). KDE:Unstable repos should only be kept until the next release is out plus maybe 2 or 3 months. Anyone running bleeding-edge software would be unlikely to be using old releases. I would sort of be inclined to 3 months, but 2 months would be more closely matched to the eol policy. KR repos should be kept for the lifetime of older releases, but new KR repos going stable within a few months of a release's eol should not support the old release. The rest should only be kept for the lifetime of the release, not for evergreen. I do have some question of KDE:Distro:Factory. It is not explicitly a stable repo, but on the other hand as I understand it it is widely-used. So in terms of its intent, I would place it with the Unstable repos, but in terms of its practical use I might keep it for the lifetime of a release. Does anyone have any thoughts, alternatives, or strong objections to any of this? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

Currently for all packages in K:D:F the following error is reported in the build log during compilation: error: Macro %if has illegal name (%define) error: Macro %endif has empty body I checked the prjconf for K:D:F and it seems there is an issue with the following lines: %if 0%{?suse_version} <= 1210 && !("%_repository" == "SLE_11_SP1") Support: xz %endif If you put these lines above the Macros: %requires_ge() [...] entry, the error is gone since they are not interpreted as macros (checked it in my home project).

The solution to the bug exists almost as long as the bug report itself. I do not want to go into the details of its history but just ask how it could happen that people using official packages did not get a fix yet? Who is responsible? And what has to change in order for this to not happen again? I.e. to take this as an example on how to improve openSUSE's quality – the distro which claims to be the best KDE distro available.

[opensuse-kde] nepomuk fills disk
by George Olson 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

I was restoring a degraded raid on my home partition, box #2 below, when I started getting disk full errors. I found by using du and df that it was nepomuk that was filling up my home partition in 2 places. In the first place, I was getting a file that was building up rapidly called .xession-errors. I found by googling that I could do this: rm .xsession-errors ; ln -s /dev/null .xsession-errors That is a temporary fix to send the continuously increasing errors into the void. My disk was full and it was the nepomuk subdirectory of the ./.kde4 directory that was filling up. I deleted this and had to reboot all the way (not just log out and log back in) to get my fill system to recognize that my home partition was not full anymore. So the thing I am wondering is, what do I do about nepomuk for now? I like the idea of what it does, and I find the rapid search from indexed files rather helpful. On my other computers I do not have this problem. So I would rather not be so drastic as to uninstall it. I was going to put down which version of nepomuk I am running, but I found that it is not a specific package. -- G.O.

[opensuse-kde] RE: Problem with krandrtray
by Reinhard Erich Voglmaier 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Dear All, I have a problem with the configuration of my screen on my DELL Latitude notebook. I had installed first OpenSUSE 12.1 32bit. Then I reinstalled OpenSUSE 12.164 bit, since I got 4 G of RAM. Now when I try to configure the display the "screen resize & rotate" starts , the icon is pulsing, but nothing happens. I see the process running, but no window opens to display. The process I see running is /usr/bin/krandrtray. If I start this process by hand I have the same situation, the process is apparently running, but I do not get a window to display the application. Any ideas ? Thank you very much for your help Reinhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] 4.9 and Virtuoso 6.1.5
by Luca Beltrame 18 Jul '12

18 Jul '12

Hello, a few may have noticed that Nepomuk is not behaving currently with Virtuoso 6.1.5 (the current version in Factory, IIRC, and perhaps in other places) when using the 4.9 betas (RCs will be affected too). The reason is that Virtuoso 6.1.5 has a bug that basically makes Nepomuk unusable. A 6.1.6 version is in the works, according to what I've read on IRC it may be a matter of days, but it's not out yet. To circumvent the issue, I made a git snapshot from Virtuoso a few weeks ago. It's available in my OBS home project (home:luca_b) for Factory. I used it for weeks without problems. Also I know that at least Raymond and Alin used it without issues. Feel free to take a look. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team KDE Science supporter GPG key ID: 6E1A4E79

[opensuse-kde] Reducing rebuild cycles
by Will Stephenson 17 Jul '12

17 Jul '12

Coolo is experimenting with an OBS flag for openSUSE:Factory:Staging and I would like to try it in KUSC. rebuild=direct means that only direct dependencies of a changed package are rebuilt, not everything that indirectly depends on it. This should reduce rebuilds and build time. It's in the project meta information on the repository sections, see osc meta prj KDE:Unstable:SC.

DOes it also happen to anyone on 32bit system. I use 64 bit and maybe this problem affects only 64bit users? I know this problem all too well since sometime back during openSUSE 11.4. I'm fairly sure that it didn't exist when 11.4 was first installed so maybe an update introduced a bug. It happens for me on two different 32-bit systems using old ATI cards and the free Radeon drivers. One is a seven-year-old laptop with a Mobility Radeon 9700, the other a desktop with a Radeon 9600 AGP 256mb card. Needless to say FGLRX support was dropped for this generation of cards about 3 years ago so free drivers are the only option. I think this issue is separate from the one others are experiencing with previous screen images filling the menus. I've seen that issue on other configurations in the past but this is more a case of patterns (grey, stripey) which sometimes fill the menu areas on the first click, sometimes subsequent clicks, fairly randomly. I've always taken it to be the most reliable symptom of more general problems with this card, its drivers or its KDE integration because I've had other general graphics instability issues from time to time. I've fiddled extensively with KDE system settings, desktop effects, Xorg arguments, modeset options. The desktop system sometimes does not show 3D / Gallium as available in KDE sysinfo whilst the laptop does. I even did a fresh reinstall of 12.1 on the laptop and set up KDE again manually rather than copying most of the configuration over, but the problem remains, although curiously on a second user account that I rarely use I don't see the problem so extensively. Desktop effects are on with that account but off on my main one since I was getting too frequent slow-downs and other troubles. The desktop machine had much more severe graphic corruption issues all over the screen. This is my parents' computer and since they are in another country, I'd upgraded it to 11.4, checked everything was fine for a couple of weeks and left them to it, only to hear some weeks later that all these issues had started (with no further updates applied), rendering it barely useable. On my next visit I upgraded it to 12.1 and the problem persisted. After much tinkering the only solution was to turn 3D off via the Xorg.conf file. But they still get these brief menu corruptions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

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] KDE 4.9 testing and openSUSE
by Will Stephenson 02 Jul '12

02 Jul '12

KDE 4.9 Beta 1 was released today. This is interesting timing for us, because openSUSE 12.2 is already in version freeze. Without this constraint, we would land the beta in KDE:Distro:Factory and prepare it for the next openSUSE release, but 12.2 will be released with KDE version 4.8.4 (motto: stability and polish, remember?). However, we pride ourselves in providing packages of KDE releases, so I expect that we'll have a KDE:Release:49 repo on 4.9 release day (Thu Aug 2). The question is how to prepare for this release, since we are using KDF already for 12.2 development Do we create KR49 repo in advance and package tarballs there, do we use KUSC snapshots right up until release day, or do we use KDE released tarballs as KUSC sources? This would be my preferred technique, as this provides testing of prerelease milestones, rather than arbitrary snapshots from git. It also does not add additional load to the team or OBS. I don't want to make any extra work for ourselves either - a good 12.2 has to be priority. Neither will we ship 4.9 *somehow* with 12.2, so don't ask :).
