Hi all, I used Apper to upgrade to 4.10 .But it failed when installing kdebase4-workspace. Then I used "zypper up kdebase4-workspace" to upgrade.I got the following error: * **4 packages to upgrade.** **Overall download size: 13.4 MiB. After the operation, 8.1 MiB will be freed.** **Continue?

[opensuse-kde] Update Tomahawk link in KR49
by Dominik Schmidt 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hey Todd, Hey Nico, could you update the Tomahawk link in KR49? I noticed that libjreen automatically updated to the last version from KDF, would it be possible to set the Tomahawk link up the same way? Tomahawk is not a KDE application and thus completely independent from KDE release cycles or changes in kdelibs/kderuntime etc.. it would be nice to always get the latest release out to the users. Thanks in advance, Domme -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] All programs open in 'All Activities' again
by Bob Williams 14 Jan '13

14 Jan '13

Any program that I start opens in All Activities, rather than staying confined to the Activity it is opened in. The RMB menu on the window title bar doesn't help either. It shows a check mark against All Activities but doesn't respond to LMB clicks on individual activities. The last time this happened to me, it was apparently due to libkactivities6 coming from the wrong repository, but this isn't the case now, as I have given the KDE 4.9 repository a higher priority than the Update repository. I have libkactivities6 4.9.4-1.1-x86_64 from KDE:/Release:/49/openSUSE_12.2/ Anyone else noticed this? Any suggestions for correcting it?

[opensuse-kde] What is causing dolphin to do a slower refresh of the folders on first time start up?
by Roman Bysh 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hello List mates, Has anyone noticed how much slower the folders seem to refresh. When starting dolphin on first time start up, I'm seeing the folders appear white and then turn blue as they are refreshing. We did not see this in earlier version of KDE i.e openSUSE 11.4. I am using an older computer from 2007 with a quad-core Q6600 and 4GB of RAM. Is this a problem with Qt and how can this be fixed? Cheers!

[opensuse-kde] apper 0.8.0
by Nico Kruber 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

I started work on updating apper to 0.8.0 but since PackageKit >= 0.8.5 is not available yet (afaik there are some issues with the zypp back-end) this package does not build yet. However in order to avoid duplicate work (adapting patches), I uploaded the package into my repository. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=apper&project=home%3ANicoK%… If at some point the PackageKit problems are resolved, this package is probably a good starting point for the 0.8.0 update of apper...

[opensuse-kde] Desktop effects Cover Switch is no longer working in 4.9 series
by Roman Bysh 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Hello List mates, Ever since I've upgraded to 4.9.5 "release 3" in openSUSE 12.2 the desktop effect called "Cover Switch" has been disabled. Only the Box switch is working. I am using the nVidia driver provided for openSUSE 12.2. Is there a work around to bring it back? -- Cheers! Roman --------------------------------------------------------------- openSUSE -- Get it!
