[opensuse] KDE 4.2 konsole options
by Roger Oberholtzer 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Previous to KDE4.2, konsole had command line options to control things like if the scrollbar was shown, or the size in characters. These were options like: --vt_sz 100x34 --notoolbar --noxft --notabbar --noframe --nomenubar It seems that these have gone away. I have been looking everywhere for a description of how this is done in 4.2, to no avail. I am guessing this is done with a profile option. Does anyone know where these profile options are described in such detail that includes the names of these options so they can be used on the command line with: -p <property=value> -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.

[opensuse] slow direct XDMCP 11.0 -> 11.1, locks 11.0 on logout
by David C. Rankin 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Listmates: After full updates to 11.1 I was using a direct XDMCP connection to the 11.1 box from my 11.0 laptop via wireless over my local lan. 11.0 to 11.0 connections work fine and fast and exit properly. The 11.0 -> 11.1 connection is markedly slower and on exit it locked my laptop hard. (ctrl+alt+bkspace and F7 and F8 ineffective) Any ideas what to check? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] openSUSE 11.1 - kontact/korgac takes up 99% CPU at startup
by Arun Khan 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Details of my setup are as below: Install: openSUSE 11.1 (x86) RAM/Swap: 3.0GB/2.0GB CPU: Pentium D 2.66GHz Desktop: xfce 4 KDE: 3.5.10 (stock SUSE packages) KMail Folder: 1.2GB total in 17000 files (messages are filtered/stored into subfolders in maildir format) Kaddressbook: approx. 1100 contact entries I have been using Kontact for the past many years as it provides integrated email, address, appt./calendar, etc ... When I invoke Kontact, top shows kontact and korgac taking up > 90% CPU usage on both cores! The Kontact application display goes blank and it returns after about a 60-90 seconds. Likewise, when I make any change to any address book entry the same deal. Late 2008, I was using KUbuntu 8.04, stock KDE 3.5 and Kontact. At that time the KMail dir was about 1.0GB and approx. 950 contacts in the addressbook. Kontact response time was acceptable. Appreciate any suggestions to figure out the bottle neck and any possible solutions. Thanks. -- Arun Khan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] pulseaudio integration
by Tamas Sarga 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I don't have the resources at the moment to test a new install, so I ask here. The way how pulseaudio integrated into the system is different with new install and upgrade from 11.0 to 11.1? I did an upgrade, and I had to configure gconf to hear anything from Amarok. Flash plugin doesn't have sound also. I found a good page http://www.pulseaudio.org/wiki/PerfectSetup . I played some hours while I localized the source of problem, which caused a soundless Amarok. So my question is what decision was made about pulseaudio. If it will remain and this non-integration is not the fault of my upgrade, than some work would be nice on this side. Please write your thought, how this situation should be resolved. By documentation or to make it works out of the box? I'll try to spend time to this problem, so I want to help. On the other hand, if Pulseaudio will be removed from 11.2, then nothing to do.

[opensuse] krusader crash
by Tamas Sarga 20 Mar '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have Krusader 1.99.1.svn6082-8.1 from the download.opensuse.org/repositories/kde:3/Backports/openSUSE_11.0 repo. It is a simple 11.0 system with KDE 3.5.10. Krusader crashes sometimes while I move some files from a dir to another.

[opensuse] KDE 4.2 messed up my panel
by Jan Karjalainen 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

After updating to the latest KDE version from factory, my panel doubled its size vertically, see picture: http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/593/snapshot1g.png I tried "Panel Options"->"Panel Settings", but the height adjustment thing makes the panel roll over to the top of the screen, which is ridiculous. How do I restore the size to what it's supposed to be? /Jan K. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Whew! 547 Megabytes of Online Updates for 11.1
by David C. Rankin 20 Mar '09

20 Mar '09

Wow, I moved a machine to 11.1 and then did a quick zypper up and to my surprise, I was presented with 547M of updates in over 400 files. I could see that many if I had used the '-t package' option, but was a bit surprised to see that from a simple update. That's quite a bit of work between December and today. Hopefully with the extended release schedule, the post release update requirement can be whittled down a bit. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
