LOL Oh, I sure like the idea, but I use XFCE. I fact, I used a similar script, that's why I guessed about your trouble ;-) Mine broke after upgrading to Leap (XFCE). I have to find out why one day. But that is not for this list. Astronomy picture of the day, from the NASA? Nice :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))

[opensuse-kde] Auto change wallpaper?
by Marc Chamberlin 11 Feb '17

11 Feb '17

Hi, I am running openSuSE Leap 42.2 with the KDE Plasma 5 desktop. Does anyone have, or know of a script that one could run from crontab that will fetch an image from a known file/disk location and automagically update the wallpaper background? I have a working crontab script that fetches images periodically from off the internet and stores them in a known location under a fixed name. Google searches is not bringing me any joy on this one, I should think it is not all that difficult to do... Incidentally I tried using the slide show feature in configuring the wallpaper but no joy with that approach either... Dunno why not but apparently it does not recognize that an image file was changed/updated by another script, so it does not load a new image at whatever interval it is configured to run.) Thanks in advance, Marc... -- "The Truth is out there" - Spooky -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] Screen corruption Leap 42.2, plasma 5.8
by Michael Harnden 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hi All, Need some help try to solve some screen corruption issue with Leap 42.2 and plasmashell --version = plasmashell 5.8.3 NVidia - 375.26-19.1 In my account the clock with starts to lose digits after a day or two. Also I have a weather widget installed. On that the temperature display will go away. In my wife's account (or any account I switch to) the clock disappears entirely, again after a day or two. I have tried brand new accounts with the same results. I can get the missing digits back by resizing the taskbar, but after awhile, the digits go away again. I have tried multiple versions of the NVidia driver. I can't really use the Nouveau driver as it deadlocks on me every couple of days. I've different kinds of compositor settings, turning compositor off. I've tried different themes, nothing seems to make a difference. I don't see anything in Xorg logs or xsession-errors. https://paste.opensuse.org/56212379 Tips, pointers, suggestions are all welcome! Thanks, Mike -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-kde] TW systemsettings5 crashes
by Felix Miata 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

Did a zypper up on host big31 last night and systemsettings kept crashing. KDE system icons were entirely missing after a lot of effort to figure out why and get some, so I installed fresh. Systemsettings5 crashes on the new installation too. Howto extract logging info to find cause for filing new bug report? Searching for systemsettings in summary and crash or fault in comments in last 11 months turns up nothing similar. Breeze is deselected everywhere I noticed, mostly replaced by oxygen*. Installed include: oxygen5-icon-theme oxygen5-sounds oxygen5-style plasma-theme-oxygen Desktop wallpaper is elarun from /usr/local/share/wallpapers/. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] TW icons disappeared from menu and systemsettings
by Felix Miata 09 Feb '17

09 Feb '17

They were missing for quite a while on host big31. Last night I tried for a while to figure out why and get some, to no avail. So, I installed TW fresh. On first login icons worked, but after using systemsettings5 (which crashes BTW, see other thread), to replace all instances of Breeze that I could find, mainly with oxygen*, on next login subject icons disappeared. filed 23 months ago on 13.2, moved to 42.1: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=920792 KDE 5 Plasma icons are missing after upgrade filed October on 42.2: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1007701 desktop icons missing after upgrade -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

[opensuse-kde] FYI: 13.2 and 42.1 support will be dropped in most KDE: repositories, other reorganizations
by Luca Beltrame 08 Feb '17

08 Feb '17

Hello, in an effort to save build power and reorganize repositories where it makes sense, we're removing support for 13.2 in the KDE: repositories. This is due to the fact that 13.2 is now EOL'd and the base system is so old that it's difficult to get new dependencies there. For a similar reason we're removing support for Leap 42.1 from KDE:Applications and KDE:Frameworks5 (and the :Unstable equivalents). The same caveats apply there. 42.1 users will still be able to use the LTS variants of Plasma and Frameworks at KDE:Frameworks5:LTS. Support for 42.1 will remain in KDE:Extra, because the dependencies are less strict there. Lastly, KDE:Applications for Leap 42.2 will be adjusted in a way that it will *require* KDE:Frameworks5 to be present. The reasoning is that otherwise it will be impossible to build some parts of the stack (PIM in particular) with the 42.2 base. These changes will go into effect this weekend. -- Luca Beltrame - KDE Forums team GPG key ID: A29D259B

[opensuse-kde] Leap 42.3 - any plans to update Plasma 5.8.3 to 5.9x or 5.10?
by Roman Bysh 07 Feb '17

Hello, I have found that Tumbleweed's Plasma 5.9.0 handles memory better than Leap 42.2 Plasma 5.8.3. Any plans to include Plasma 5.9x or higher with 42.3? -- Cheers!

Re: [opensuse-kde] Configure indirect rendering for X under leap 42.1
by m.frerichs 06 Feb '17

Thanks Fabian! But we use the displaymanager KDM and i can't find the right location to configure this. I tried to configure in /etc/X11/xorg.conf : Section "ServerFlags" Option "AllowIndirectGLX" "on" or "True" and Option "AllowIndirectGLXProtocol" "on" or "True" EndSection in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers : :0 local /usr/bin/X -nolisten tcp +iglx -br vt7 in /usr/share/kde4/config/kgm/kdmrc : ServerArgsLocal=-nolisten tcp +iglx But nothing had the effect that the option "+iglx" is adoptd to the commandline.

[opensuse-kde] Configure indirect rendering for X under leap 42.1
by m.frerichs 05 Feb '17

05 Feb '17

Hello KDE-Team or anyone else! I tried the following xorg-fake : rename /usr/bin/Xorg to Xorg.sav and install a new Xorg with following command: #!/bin/sh exec /usr/bin/Xorg.sav +iglx "$@" Then indirect rendering is configured and all runs well. But this solution to change a systemfile isn't fine because it does not survive an update. I still search for a place in a configuration file . Thanks for any help with this.
