[opensuse-kde] What went wrong?
by Sven Burmeister 19 Jul '12

19 Jul '12

Hey everybody! https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=712749 That bug report exists for almost one year and renders amarok useless. 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-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

Can someone update calligra in KR48. It is still 2.4.1 while KDF has 2.4.3. I would like to try words but 2.4.1 is crashing all the time. Thanks. Cor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
