[opensuse-kde] can system sounds work by default (or be customized) without pulseaudio installed?
by Felix Miata 18 Oct '13

18 Oct '13

Normally I don't connect speakers to a PC, so my experience with sound is limited. Now I have one which I'll be using for video file editing, so sound needs to work reliably, but does not in 12.1, 12.3 & 13.1m3. It does work in Mageia 3/KDE4 (but only after reconfiguration after adding previously uninstalled pulseaudio), KDE/Fedora 18 & 19 (with pulseaudio installed), and 12.2 running Trinity instead of KDE, and without pulseaudio installed. http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/ contains selected hardware and installed software details as follows: troubleshooting data gathering script for Mageia: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sndts.sh loaded snd modules for all installations: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-big41-modules.txt Mageia 3 (KDE4): before: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-none-big41-os131m3.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/tsout-big41-mag3.txt after: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-OK-big41-mag3.txt Fedora 18 & 19 (KDE4): http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-OK-big41-f18.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/tsout-big41-f18.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-OK-big41-f19.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/tsout-big41-f19.txt (in latest F19 boot, on session start "Removed Sound Devices" window appeared, which seems to be a common openSUSE KDE4.x occurrence here, not necessarily on any particular host. In this case: "Capture: HDA Intel, ALC662 rev1 Analog (Default Audio Device) asking "Do you want KDE to permanently forget about these devices?") 12.1 (KDE3): http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-none-big41-os121.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/tsout-big41-os121.txt 12.2 (Trinity): http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-OK-big41-os122.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/tsout-big41-os122.txt 12.3 (KDE4): http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-OK-big41-os123.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/tsout-big41-os123.txt (MM apps installed: kdenlive, smplayer2, vlc; KDE 4.10.5) 13.1 (KDE4): http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/sound-OK-big41-os131m3.txt http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/Sound/tsout-big41-os131m3.txt https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Audio_troubleshooting and https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Pulseaudio seem to be of minimal use for "supported" installations, in this host's current case, only for 12.1. According to YaST2 in 12.3 & 13.1, the Intel HDA controller is configured, but without any mention of the string "realtek" as noted in dmesg and lsmod. Sound works when play test sound is selected, but there are no event sounds of any kind. Most notably absent are the startup and end session sounds. KMix shows 91% as default setting. The right click menu on the KMix icon on the panel shows 5 selections, among them, "Audio Setup", which when clicked does nothing, in both 4.10.5 & 4.10.97. Clicking on Multimedia in http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/KDE/ss4105-os123-120.png crashes systemsettings, again in both 4.10.5 & 4.10.97, so I can't even tell without booting something else where KDE4 sounds are supposed to be configured (apparently here, as in F18/19 this opens a Phonon Sound and Video Configuration window that includes "Notifications"). What's missing here? Does pulseaudio even have anything to do with this? Is there some kde package that KDE sounds and/or KMix depend on that isn't getting pulled in as a hard dependency (phonon/libphonon4?)? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] 4.11 session does not like xosview
by Werner Flamme 03 Sep '13

03 Sep '13

Hi, I start xosview and have it shown on all Desktops. This worked fine from KDE 4.0 up to 4.10. Now with 4.11, the session manager does not like xosview. - When I start my new session, xosview ist started all right - but it is only on one desktop and not on all - the window of xosview is in any location (most often near the left margin) but not where it was when finishing the last session - the window of xosview is not as wide as it was in the last session All other applications come up where they were before - even gkrellm, what is not a KDE application either. OK, the position and size of the fortune plasmoid is not saved too, but that was always the case. At least it shows up about in the place where it is expected ;-) Can I tune something to get the correct re-appearing of xosview?

[opensuse-kde] wallpaper settings not remembered in KDE 4.11 on oS 12.3
by Peter 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Anyone else getting this? Fresh install of openSUSE 12.3 (x86_64) and I've updated to the KDE 4.11 Release repo. Going into the Default Desktop Settings, if I choose Slideshow wallpaper and add a custom folder (and/or ticking the System Wallpapers / My Downloaded Wallpapers boxes), then Apply/OK, the settings aren't stored next time. I've had a look at the plasma-desktop-appletsrc config file and compared the relevant section to my config from a previous 12.3 install with KDE 4.10 on another machine. I don't see any issues there, with the same paths specified, though there might be something more obscure in that extensive file to look at, or in another config file entirely. When I okay that dialog I do get a change of wallpaper. It cycles through some of the system defaults, but never uses any of my own. I've noticed other wallpaper types like Picture of the Day are flaky and it won't download from most of the sources. It doesn't look like there's even any network activity when I try. I could file a bug but maybe there's just a misconfiguration on my machine? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Some Apps missing in KR411
by Stefan Vater 31 Aug '13

31 Aug '13

Hi, since the introduction of the KR411 repository there are some apps missing, which were in KR410 before: e.g. Kile, Kmymoney, Skanlite, ... Is this intentional, and one should install such apps from the official OpenSuse 12.3 repo, or have they just been forgotten?

[opensuse-kde] KRDC 4.11 on oS 12.3 br0ken?
by Werner Flamme 28 Aug '13

28 Aug '13

Hi everyone, in our mixed (Windows/Linux/Solaris) office environment, I often have to use KRDC to connect to a Windows terminal server. After upgrading to 4.11, the screen stays blue, no login is possible. And yes, I restarted KDE after upgrading to 4.11 :-) After "zypper in --oldpackage krdc-4.10.5-1.92.3" everything is fine, so the bug (if it is one) is in KRDC, not somewhere inside KDE. Can someone confirm this? Regards, Werner -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Kscreen needs labelling for button functions in openSUSE 13.1
by Roman Bysh 22 Aug '13

Hello Listmates, Would anyone agree that Kscreen desperately requires labelling for the button functions? Can it be done in time for openSUSE 13.1? -- Cheers!

[opensuse-kde] 13.1 packaging issues / polish
by Martin Schlander 22 Aug '13

22 Aug '13

Hey I'm testing 13.1, and I noticed a couple of important and (presumably) easy to fix issues. 1) kde-gtk-config is not installed by default, not even when pulling 'recommended' packages. I guess it needs to be added to the pattern? 2) Shouldn't we also include 'kde-mplayer-thumbnailer' in the default install, and enable video thumbnails in Dolphin by default? Other than that it's looking pretty good so far -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] buggiebuggie - krandrtray
by Jos Poortvliet 20 Aug '13

20 Aug '13

Heya, I found a bug but dunno what the ideal fix would be. /usr/bin/startkde starts krandrtray (by issueing ". krandrtray") but that's no longer installed by default in Plasma 4.11 so the user can't log in. Should this starting-of- krandtray be made conditional on it being there? Seems to make sense, yes? Or should it be a dependency? It should not, with Kscreen, correct? /J

[opensuse-kde] a new kdm theme for 13.1
by Bruno Friedmann 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

The new kde theme was accepted today in factory, so on its way to be soon available for those of us who are testing factory. I've a build for myself and test it under 12.3 and it work great, fixing all default we could have under the one published with 12.3. We are interested in feedback and bug reporting, especially with small screen 1280x800 or less or any strange resolution. You can report bugs on bugzilla.novell.com and put me as assignee. I will with the help of Caig (the author) try to fix all of them before the final release of 13.1 Have fun -- 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
