[opensuse-kde] Losing plasmoids, widgets, desktop settings after reboot
by Marc Chamberlin 18 Nov '13

18 Nov '13

I have a problem that is happening on just one of my systems running openSuSE12.3 x64, KDE Platform Version 4.10.5 "release 1" that I could use some help getting it fixed. I set up my desktops with various background pictures, widgets, etc which all works fine until I reboot the system. Then all is lost and my desktops revert back to the default background setting without any of the widgets I had put on the desktops. How should I proceed with tracking down what is wrong, as I mentioned this is only happening on one system, my other laptops and computers running the same version of openSuSE and KDE are working fine!

Re: [opensuse-kde] Partial screen lockups occurring on my laptop
by stakanov＠freenet.de 15 Nov '13

p, li { white-space: pre-wrap; }Hi Marc. Well to make that short. Yes it would be good. I wanted to write a report the other day but since I had "nothing in my hands" I rather wanted to avoid to be considered "paranoid" or "unqualified" and to see it closed as invalid in 5 seconds (happened all before ;-) ). At my desk I had as well data-loss now. While doing a cut and paste operation from an SD card during one of the now frequent lockouts, the photos went into the nirvana. What I was able to check out, the activity indicator of the bar shows "ghost activities" with 0 kb/s for different applications like kaffeine or dolphine with a turning activity wheel. However there is no transfer going on. These stay until you log out / in again. Animated bars block and are unusable and it seems also that windows do partially respond. They can be moved normally but you cannot close them on the edge with a cross, but you can close them through the menu bar. If you have a multiple user system the "console user" - the first that was opened - will be touched too, even if you did not work on it. Only complete logout and login of concerned users will bring the system back to normal. It proves to be note-worthily fast then, but only for a few minutes. Than it slows down progressively, apparently in relation with the use of programs. I had a few segfaults of nepomuk in the logs. This may be everything, but it is NOT an Nvidia bug, as I do not have any such hardware. And it is getting quite mutilating. Let me know the bug number, and thank you for your effort. Cheers.

[opensuse-kde] kde 4.11.3 (KR411) + nouveau on laptop & external screen
by Bruno Friedmann 14 Nov '13

14 Nov '13

I'm using nouveau (replacing nvidia blob). I'm quite happy with it but I've one trouble I don't know where to start to dig. The brightness & dim display is working on the laptop. Also placing lappy screen in suspend mode work. I've a HP ZR2240w external monitor connected to the DisplayPort monitor in clone mode. The external monitor is never suspended ( was working before with nvidia blob ). I would like to make Geeko a bit more greener and suspend to monitor. Has anyone an idea where to start to dig ? -- Bruno Friedmann Ioda-Net Sàrl www.ioda-net.ch openSUSE Member GPG KEY : D5C9B751C4653227 irc: tigerfoot -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] yast2 and domainname
by Roger Oberholtzer 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

It is possible to run openSUSE without a domain name. Networking and all works fine. However, if you run yast to configure a network device, it insists on the domain name being set before it will accept any changes. This seems more of a policy issue than a requirement to run a system. Why? Things like the HOST and HOSTNAME environment variables are effected by this. One needs to set a temp domain name in yast, and then remove it with a call to hostnamectl. It would be nice if yast2 allowed the domain name to remain empty as it was when yast was started. I think this started in oS 12.3. Anyone know if it is the same in oS 13.1 (I can't test it yet...). -- Yours sincerely, Roger Oberholtzer Ramböll RST / Systems Office: Int +46 10-615 60 20 Mobile: Int +46 70-815 1696 roger.oberholtzer(a)ramboll.se ________________________________________ Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse-kde] Patterns before proceeding with KDE:Unstable:SC
by kigurame 13 Nov '13

13 Nov '13

So my schedule is getting to where i can actually start dedicating some time to KUSC but before i start anything I'd like to get some things straight. Where do we stand with established patterns ? Are we just going with : KDE-minimal (Minimal desktop without Nepomuk,Activities,Akonadi) KDE-Full (The full desktop with all whistles activated) KDE-Pim (KDE-minimal + Akonadi & KDEPIM) KDE-Semantic (KDE-Minimal + Nepomuk) Or are more to be involved ? I'd also would like to know what the general road-map looks like or if one needs to be collaborated upon. P.S. This might seem like a rather strange email but it's merely to mishaps on my behalf and going to work uncoordinated.

[opensuse-kde] Partial screen lockups occurring on my laptop
by Marc Chamberlin 12 Nov '13

12 Nov '13

I have an ASUS G75V series laptop, running openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) with KDE Platform Version 4.10.5 "release 1" and I am getting a somewhat weird screen lockup that occurs at a random moment in time. What happens is that any window that is open and active on my desktop remains useable, but nothing else works. I cannot access ANYTHING in the kicker bar at the bottom of the screen nor can I access any of the background context menus or plasmoid menus. If I happen to have a shell window open when this "crash" occurs, I can do an rcxdm restart which will restore functionality after logging me out an back in of course. Otherwise I am forced to press the power button on my laptop to bring up the menu that allows me to log out, restart, or shutdown my laptop from which I can also recover. But it is annoying to lose work in progress or have to restart applications that I had running whenever these crashes occur. I scanned through log files and don't find anything significant or repetitive, but then again I have untrained eyes so take that with a grain of salt. The only other anomaly that I am seeing is a crash report occasionally about KDE plasma. I have reported it only to told it is a duplicate of another bug report- bug 325076 which appears to be a problem with the nVidia drivers. It seems unlikely that this problem I am seeing is related to some kind of nVidia driver issue, but perhaps it is? Anywise, how can I track down the source of this problem, fix it, or should I simply bug report it?
