[opensuse-kde] 11.0a3 feedback
Here are some thoughts after poking around in alpha3 a little bit... * It might be good to have a menu item for launching Dolphin as root. As with super-user Konq, since people will probably get used to Dolphin, they will probably prefer to use Dolphin for root actions also. * KDE4 Konsole and Kopete crash on startup. After a while konsole would start, not sure if I might have installed something or what changed - the crash had been there both on live system, x86 system and x86_64 system.. * Maybe it should be considered to set kde3 apps to having "text under icons" in toolbars to make them look more "integrated" with kde4? * The panel clock applet takes up too much space. It won't allow you to select a different font size. You can however select a smaller font, but that doesn't affect the width of the applet. Highly annoying, especially on my 1024x768 lappy. * Maybe it would be a good idea to have both KDE3 _and_ KDE4 as equal options in the Desktop Selection step for dvd/network installation. With proper descriptions preparing the user for for pros and cons of either choice. Though I think 4.0 is coming around quite well with your tweaks and patches + upstream plasma improvements - can't wait to see 4.0.3 plasma. * Gnash 0.8.2 impressed me a lot in FF. Doesn't seem to work very well with Konq. I think maybe the packager "forgot" to package the Klash part. * Had some minor graphics issues - probably down to using nv driver. The fading when the logout-menu is shown is horribly slow. And the "mouse over effects" of task bar items caused small graphics ooopses. http://suse.linuxin.dk/snapshot1.png * Selecting to logout from kickoff doesn't log you out automagically with a timer countdown, just takes you to the logout menu, where you have to again select to logout manually. * Konq is very flaky on the webbrowsing side I think (slow and strange behaviour, not least in bugzilla :-). Maybe it should be considered making FF the default browser for this release if things don't improve much in 4.0.3 and maybe 4.0.4 if we can have that.. * kepas desktop plasmoid crashing plasma workspace. Filed a bugzilla for that one. * I wanted to test xinerama, krandr and kwin effects, and file a report if krandr continued to crash. But Nvidia blob wouldn't compile. I guess gcc43 and latest nvidia x86_64 blob don't like each other, but not 100% sure what caused the build failure. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org

Is there a BR for the kopete crash? This is probably dependent on your kopete config data or server side contact list, so I would appreciate a good backtrace here.

you have to patch the nvidia driver: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2.run --apply-patch NVIDIA_kernel-169.12-2286310.diff.txt It builds NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2-custom.run: sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.12-pkg2-custom.run Detlef

Thanks. But when trying to apply the patch I get a seg fault at line 852. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde+help@opensuse.org
