[opensuse-kde] openSUSE 12.1 + KDE 4.9.0 = grub selection beim neustart geht nicht mehr
by Mathias Homann 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hallo, seit ich meine 12.1 auf KDE 4.9 gehoben habe (aus dem KDE:Release:49 repository vom build service) geht das auswählen einer grub config beim neustart nicht mehr... also wenn ich im KDE menue "Neu starten" auswähle und dann auf den "Rechner neu starten" so lang klicke bis das popup mit den verschiedenen grub konfigs kommt... dann sind die verschiedenen einträge nicht mehr anklickbar. Was mach ich damit's wieder geht? bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C () ascii ribbon campaign against HTML e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] KR49 keyboardlayout
by Harald Stürmer 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

Hello, The keyboard layout is reset to en/us after every reboot. That means the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/90-keytable.conf is altered. I'm using OpenSuSE 12.1/ KR49. This happens on two different machines. How can I make my configuration persistent again?

[opensuse-kde] Telepathy
by George Olson 11 Aug '12

11 Aug '12

I am not looking for a long explanation on this one, but I googled and could not quite figure out what it is. What exactly is the KDE Telepathy repository for? It seemed from what I could find that Telepathy is a version or something of KDE that specializes in audio and visual calls? Why would I want to use the KDE Telepathy repo instead of the core packages repo? Or can you use both? Thanks -- G.O.

[opensuse-kde] which other app defines ctrl-shift-n ?
by Mathias Homann 10 Aug '12

10 Aug '12

Hi, In kmail, ctrl-shift-n is "New mail to list". In my installation, all I get is "The hotkey is not unambiguous" (in german, the taste ist mehrfach belegt)... so which other app tries to catch it? bye, MH -- gpg key fingerprint: 5F64 4C92 9B77 DE37 D184 C5F9 B013 44E7 27BD 763C () ascii ribbon campaign against HTML e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] kde4.9 and issues in mozilla apps
by Carl Fletcher 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

kde4.9.0 from R49 in 12.1 _64 Has anyone else noticed delayed response to right click action (eg: a url) in firefox or seamonkey Also in Thunderbird, the bet messages action button. The delay seems to be confined to the first run of the application in a session and where actions are made immediately after opening. I tested a identical 12.1 install of Gnome Mozilla apps are not affected. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Policy for KRxy
by Sven Burmeister 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hey everybody! What's the policy for patches to KRxy? AFAIR KRxy repos were meant to be more stable, i.e. less patching and rebuilding than KDF. Ideally only updated once a month, i.e. for a new upstream release. Of course it makes sense to update non-SC apps and fix packaging bugs. But what about other patches? Shouldn't they be restricted to "important" bugs? Important needs a definition. Crashes, data loss, regressions would come to my mind. Also, only patches that were accepted upstream should be pushed into KRxy. What are your thoughts?

[opensuse-kde] Some Thanks And A Few Annoying Pre-Relase KDE Issues
by Malvern Star 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi all, I'm really pleased with the way 12.2 has shaped up. Delaying its release in order to put on more polish appears to have been a good move. It's definitely a lot faster and more stable than any previous release I can remember. I find this release particularly important, because with the impending arrival of Windows 8, many tech bloggers are announcing that Microsoft have "abandoned businesses". It is therefore a great opportunity to push openSuSE under the tagline "Built For Business", simply because openSuSE with KDE will be far more familiar to most users than the new Windows 8 interface. To that end, I think it's important to eliminate any user- experience-breaking bugs still remaining prior to release. These seemingly minor cosmetic problems frequently form the crux of the user's opinion of a particular operating system, and encountering very obvious ones (such as 12.1's inability to eject CDs without the tray reclosing) will put them off immediately, regardless of the system's other advantages. I would therefore like to list a few minor, but user-experience- breaking issues that I feel really should be solved prior to final release. 1) Firefox and dolphin launchers cannot be removed from the taskbar. This bug has been solved upstream and I am hoping the fix will be backported. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=757370 2) KDE's clickable user login screen doesn't display the user list correctly at this point. The placement is very strange and off-putting. You can see an image of this here: http://bugzillafiles.novell.org/attachment.cgi?id=498794 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=727821 3) "Do Not Ask Again" check boxes are not respected by KDE. Users will be asked certain questions every time they start an application - incredibly annoying! https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=671578 4) Users cannot edit their KMenu layout without the risk of it becoming corrupted. This bug is most annoying, as it is nearly 5 years old at this point. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=356553 5) It is not possible to use VNC to remotely administer KDE systems at the moment. Remote desktop support is very important in business environments, and is a key feature for tech support. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=771745 6) A user's first login after system boot would always fail. Honestly, typing in your password has not been an issue for the last 20 or more years, so I fail to see why it's acceptable in 2012. This bug was present in 12.2 RC1, but I am not sure about 12.2 RC2. https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728554 That's pretty much it for KDE-specific issues (that I know of) at this time. If these were fixed prior to launch, I think we'd have the best release since I started using SuSE at version 9.0 Malvern. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
