I've tried out the images provided by open-slx (they provide isos). They won't boot beyond a kernel panic... basically they are waaaaay too old for my hardware. Kernel 3.8 and newer is where I need to be on this device. open-slx images are based on openSUSE 12.1 from what I can tell. I could use Studio to "roll my own" but... I'm looking at that as a last resort as I ask myself is it worth it for this one machine that has one other glaring issue that needs to be sorted first... I can't pair the Bluetooth keyboard to save my life... (a separate issue which I've posted about on the openSUSE foums and got nowhere with).

[opensuse-kde] Something is not quite right......
by Basil Chupin 29 Jul '13

...with KDE 4.11 as installed here from the Factory repo and I don't know where the problem lies. I haven't had such a hassle before with upgrades of KDE. Everytime I try to do updates YaST I get these dependency errors: http://susepaste.org/5435907 and http://susepaste.org/85450595 I choose the option which ignores the dependency and the updates go thru but they come up again the next time there are updates to be done. It's getting just a tad annoying..... Anyone know how to resolve this issue, please?

[opensuse-kde] Plasma Active?
by C 27 Jul '13

27 Jul '13

Is anyone playing with Plasma Active on openSUSE? I've been tinkering a bit with it on an x86_64 tablet, but not having much success. I've been playing with Kubuntu-Active ISOs, but would rather tinker with openSUSE as the core. I found this repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Active/ but the Factory repo seems out of date, and the 12.3 repo is ArmV7 no x86. There are a couple of appliances on SuSE Studio, but they seem to be abandoned. So, short of trying to build my own appliance... is anyone within the oS community playing with Plasma-Active on an x86 tablet, or am I the only one right now?

[opensuse-kde] kmail check mail problem
by C. Brouerius van Nidek 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Since some time kmail will not check my 3 pop mail accounts. This occurs regularly after a reboot. Receiving mail and sending does not work then. kquitapp kmail and restart kmail does not solve the problem. In order to get it working I have to logout to LXDE or Icwm where kmail runs perfect every time. Logging out and restart KDE is in many cases is enough to let kmail work as usual. For details on my system see my signature. I am eager to find out what causes this misbehavior but have no idea where to start.

[opensuse-kde] Warning for KDE 4.11 RC1 users
by Andras Mantia 23 Jul '13

23 Jul '13

Hi, unfortunately due to a bugfix in maildir resource a serious side-effect crippled into the 4.11 RC1. This causes VERY slow KMail and LOTS OF duplicates in the maildir folders that are hard to get rid of. Usually the best way is to remove the resource and add it back again (with the extra risks, like configuring again the filters, identities). The problematic patch was reverted, so won't be in final release and an alternative fix was provided in the master branch for those building from source. Sorry for the inconvenience.

[opensuse-kde] KDE 4.11 RC1
by Basil Chupin 22 Jul '13

22 Jul '13

Since upgrading to 4.11 I get as a login screen a plain grey screen with a rectangle in the central which shows "Welcome to linux-67gf.site and with a line where I am to enter the person's name who is logging on; after I enter the name and press ENTER the line where the password has to entered appears. There are no other options available - like selecting which desktop I want or whether I want to exit or reboot. At the same time there is a pale yellow box in the bottom left of the screen which, in part, states, "[kernel something]...[37.404954] NVRM: corruption and stability problems, and is not supported." After entering the login name and password the normal splash screen appears (the one with the gecko sitting on the branch) and I arrive at the normal desktop. BUT even here there is this pale yellow rectangle in bottom left corner which I have to dismiss by clicking on the "x" within the box. What do I need to check, please, in order to get the normal login graphics back again - the login screen which comes with 12.3?

[opensuse-kde] Question about the modified KDE_VERSION_STRING in openSUSE
by Jekyll Wu 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Hi, Could someone give me a short explanation why openSUSE uses modified KDE_VERSION_STRING like "4.10.2 release 1" ? I assume there must be valid points behind that decision, but I just don't know yet :) I'm asking because this modified KDE_VERSION_STRING causes some annoyance in bugs.kde.org to a few KDE applications(konqueror, kwin, gwenview, plasma-desktop, etc ) using KDE_VERSION_STRING as their version strings : 1). crash reports created by Dr.Konqi do not have the "Version" field correctly filled, because the version string in bugs.kde.org is like "4.10.5" while the version string in openSUSE installation is like "4.10.5 release 1". All such reports have the useless "unspecified" value in the "Version" field. That introduces information loss, and extra time is wasted for developers/triagers to fill the "Version" field manually. 2). Due to the version string mismatching, bugs.kde.org also fails to reject crash reports from outdated KDE installation (like KDE SC 4.7.x) as it should have done. I guess I could add some hack in Dr.Konqi to work around this problem, but I don't think that is the right solution. Maybe we can figure out a proper solution to make both sides happy, so here comes this mail .

[opensuse-kde] Dropping OBS repository KDE:Distro:Stable per 31 July
by Raymond Wooninck 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

Dear Listmates, I would like to inform you that on 31 July, we will delete the repository KDE:Distro:Stable. This repository contains currently KDE 4.8.5, but it is no longer maintained not updated, as that we have other repositories with a similar purpose. Since already quite some time we are following a different setup. The latest KDE release is always supplied in a KDE:Release:xy repository for the current and previous openSUSE release (e.g. at this moment KDE 4.10.5 is available in the KDE:Release:410 repository for both 12.3 and 12.2). We also successfully applied maintenance updates for our openSUSE 12.3 users, where they got automatically the 4.10.x releases supplied to the systems.

[opensuse-kde] Bug Fixing Apper and Testing
by Information - General 21 Jul '13

21 Jul '13

I have spent about 20+ man hours documenting and taking screen shots with respect to APPER and the enormity of its failing included in Opensuse 12.2. I would like to work with this application to get all the bugs out IF APPER is going to be maintained in 13.? As a newby to this list, how do I help with this information and to work with someone who maintains the code. -- Opensuse-KDE-Developer-Interface Testing and Debugging - Scott Couston -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org
