I've just created an Email in text/plain and send this Email to announce and opensuse. In opensuse-announce the X-KMail- MDN-Sent gives cryptic Issues.

Listmates, I tried to crop a png image with gwenview, but the resulting cropped image is corrupt. I also filed a bug report about it with kde.org. Can anyone duplicate this? I have included links to the original and cropped image below for test purposes.

[opensuse] Best way to Move 10.3 Box forward to 11.0 kde4?
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Listmates, I want to move one of my kids boxes forward from 10.3 to 11.0 with kde4, duplicate the packages I have on another 11.0 box and utilize my local repository to eliminate the need for a massive download. I'm trying to figure out the right way to do this. Here is what my initial thoughts are: (1) export repo list from current 11.0 box and install on 10.3 box replacing all current repos (2) export package list from current 11.0 box import on 10.3 box (3) zypper dup ** rebuild kernel dependent packages Anybody see any missing steps I need to add? Is there a better approach? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Script to move old versions of rpms from local repository
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Listmates, Over the life of 11.0 I had been using the --keep-packages option for all updates so that I would have a local repository for the kids machines, etc. to prevent having to download files more than once. It has worked great. But over the course of time I have accumulated up to 10 or so older versions of all packages (17G worth). There were 10,617 files total so I wasn't going to do it by hand. I needed a way to parse through the local repository and move all older versions to a 'duplicates' folder so they could be removed. Thankfully the rpm naming convention is fairly consistent that allowed this to be done relatively painlessly. Anyway, I wrote a small script to do this and to provide a short log of what was done. So just in case anyone else has a directory full of multiple versions of rpms and would like to separate them without having to reinvent the wheel, I've attached the script. The script relies on FILE DATE to determine the most recent version rather than a parse and sort of the version numbers, so if you moved all your rpms to a directory such that they all have the same date, this won't work. My local repository is laid out as follows: 01:26 ecstasy:/home/rpms/openSUSE_11.0> ls -1 delta i386 i586 i686 noarch repodata src x86_64 You simply run the script passing the directory containing the rpms and it will create a directory/duplicates directory and move the older versions to the new directory leaving the most recent versions in place. In other words: 01:26 ecstasy:/home/rpms/openSUSE_11.0> ../data/fduprpm x86_64/ will move all old version in the x86_64/ directory to "x86_64/duplicates". Just run it once for each directory containing rpms. The log simply tell what was moved and what stayed: <snip> Keeping: x86_64/ufraw-0.15-10.13.x86_64.rpm x86_64/ufraw-0.15-10.11.x86_64.rpm --> x86_64/duplicates x86_64/ufraw-0.15-10.9.x86_64.rpm --> x86_64/duplicates x86_64/ufraw-0.15-10.8.x86_64.rpm --> x86_64/duplicates x86_64/ufraw-0.15-10.7.x86_64.rpm --> x86_64/duplicates x86_64/ufraw-0.15-10.3.x86_64.rpm --> x86_64/duplicates x86_64/ufraw-0.15-10.1.x86_64.rpm --> x86_64/duplicates Keeping: x86_64/unrar-3.70.8-32.1.x86_64.rpm Keeping: x86_64/unsermake-0.4_20070504-136.1.x86_64.rpm <snip> Make use of it if you can, if not, just delete. -- David C.

[opensuse] Weird kate/kwrite auto-completion behavior -- Any thoughts on the cause??
by David C. Rankin 08 Aug '09

08 Aug '09

Listmates, Below is a bug I filed against the kate/kwrite auto-completion feature. It's self-explanatory. What I want to know is if anyone else has noticed it and if so, has anyone else found a work-around? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203039 <quote> Auto completion in kate/kwrite is very inconsistent in the way it works compared to the kde3 version. In kde3, though annoying at times, auto completion worked on every word, every time. In kde4, just the opposite is happening. Realistically, auto-completion works correctly about 30% of the time. 40% of the time it will not complete the word (variable) you want it to complete, and the remaining 30% of the time, auto-completion is hit-or-miss working sometimes and then not for the very same variable. Auto-completion is enabled with the default minimum word length to complete set at 3 (default). The link below is a kate screenshot showing the cursor immediately after: cp $k $DUPD where $DUPD should be auto-completed to $DUPDIR but kate will not complete the word no matter what. http://www.3111skyline.com/download/openSUSE_bugs/kde4/screenshots/kate-com… Whatever is preventing auto-completion from doing its job needs to be fixed. Like I said, though slightly annoying, in kde3 auto-completion worked every time for every word over the minimum completion length, consistently and every time. Auto-completion in kde4 is "like a box of chocolates", you never know what you are going to get. This is much more annoying than knowing what to expect. If you can think of a test to help narrow down the problem, let me know and I'll be happy to run it. Thanks. </quote> -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] QStardict Can't Pronounce Words Using WyabdcRealPeopleTTS (Education Repository)
by AndiSugandi™ 07 Aug '09

07 Aug '09

GNU/Linux and openSUSE Lovers, I've tried QStardict to pronounce words using (as default) "festival --tts" and it works, but fails when using WyabdcRealPeopleTTS that "stardict-dictionaries-WyabdcRealPeopleTTS" package taken from /Education repository. It pronounces well if i follow the guide exactly what it is said in the wiki[0], where the package taken from here[1]. But it just always said "echo" every time i hit the 'Speak Word' button for every words when i use WyabdcRealPeopleTTS package from OBS. Because of the package[2] exists here: /usr/share/stardict/WyabdcRealPeopleTTS/, so I change easily the script to be like this: ###BeginofTheScript #!/bin/bash TTS_PATH=/usr/share/stardict/WyabdcRealPeopleTTS WORD='echo $* | tr A-Z a-z' for WORD2 in $WORD do play ${TTS_PATH}/${WORD2:0:1}/${WORD2}.wav done ###EOF I'm using openSUSE 11.1 among others: 1. QStardict from /home:/pikerhog:/gnome, and 2. sox package from /multimedia:/apps/ repository. Any clue(s)? Thanks in advance.
