[opensuse] kde4 - oxygen - how to turn off bright focus rectangle around edit window in kate/kwrite?
by David C. Rankin 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Guys, In kde 4.5.2, when kate has focus, there is a bright colored rectangle (focus indication) that draws itself around the editing window in kate/kwrite. This drives me batty as I have a dark background and dark decorations with this bright gold rectangle splashed in the middle of the editor. I've switched to Qt-Curve in the mean time (which looks pretty good). I've looked through the oxygen advanced style settings to try and find a way to turn this focus highlight off and I've looked through kate settings as well, but I still can't find a way to turn the editor window highlight off. (I DON'T want to change the highlight color in 'colors' as it works great for the theme, I just don't want the bright rectangle drawn around the editor window in kate/kwrite) Howto fix? -- David C.

[opensuse] repomd.xml problem any solution ?
by Paul Ollion 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hello SuSE people This week I installed Opensuse 11.3 on a machine, it was good enough , but I cannot update and I cannot download additional software from other repositories either with Yast or zypper. Every time I get messages mentioning a problem with a repomd.xml file. I searched the net and found a lot of people asked what to do with this same issue, for weeks, but did not find a solution. someone suggested to remove file /root/. netrc, but there is none. I seem to have managed some update, by using the installation DVD , reentering langage and keyboard layout, then using / installation/updating existing system. It changes the list of repositories by removing all the additional ones I was able to add (such as packman, videolan) ; but automatic updates, yast updates and zypper updates do not work. Has anyone found a fix for this ? -- Paul Ollion Proud Linux user SuSE 11.2 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] wdm chooser
by Lars Stavholm 11 Oct '10

Has anyone tried the wdm display manager enabled for remote host logins? If so, how do you get the list of available remote hosts? I've got the wdm working alright for local X sessions, but I can not find a way to get the list of available remote hosts to login to. Any input appreciated. /Lars Stavholm PS I've verified that the remote hosts are there and accepting connections by means of kdm3. It works nicely. But I really want wdm to do the same thing. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] Paste into Chrome browser in KDE
by jsa 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

I am having a difficult time pasting into Chromium browser. If you copy text from one tab, and try to paste in another tab its hit or miss whether it works or not. Disable "enable clipboard actions" so that you don't have context menus popping up every time you copy a URL and you just about never paste anything. Clipper has the option to sync the selection and the clipboard and the selection. It almost seems that google is stepping on the selection (and thereby messing up the clipboard) because attempting to past contents invariably unchecks the clipper selection, and inserts another empty selection at the top of the clipper stack. -- Explain again the part about rm -rf / -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] how to store passwords with Konqueror?
by Oliver Kullmann 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

Hello, with Suse 11.3 it seems impossible that Konqueror stores passwords? I have heard about the "theory" that a window should pop up and asking about whether I want to store the password? Doesn't seem to happen. And then there is KWallet. Opening it one "wallet" seems to be there, saying "The name org.kde.kwalletd was not provided by ans .service files." which is unfortunately the typical bad message style: It doesn't tell me what is expected (is this an error or not), and if it is expected, why it is expected, and due to which facts it thinks that the expectations are not met. Finally, if there is a problem, how to solve it? The KWallet documentation doesn't speak about problems (unfortunately, this seems to be the "standard" for KDE documentation; apparently there are never any problems). Can anybody help? Oliver P.S. In the past, with older Suse versions, KWallet never worked, and I always had to use Firefox. I got the impression (from the Internet) that now KWallet seems to work in some cases? When going to KDE wallet configuration, there is "Enable KDE wallet subsystem"?? What could this mean? And the same message "The name org.kde.kwalletd was not provided by ans .service files." appears for the automatic wallet selection? Apparently the "subsystem" (???) has to be enabled? If this is the case, then how can one know about this? Even the existence of Kwallet is not mentioned for example somewhere in Konqueror? And apparently enabling this "subsystem" means just enabling "Kwallet"?? If this is the case, why then speaking of a "subsystem"? -- Dr. Oliver Kullmann Computer Science Department Swansea University Faraday Building, Singleton Park Swansea SA2 8PP, UK http://cs.swan.ac.uk/~csoliver/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] kde 4.5.2 - still can't place focus in konqueror in detail view with selection markers off
by David C. Rankin 09 Oct '10

09 Oct '10

Guys/kde4 devs, I'm using kde 4.5.2 and one of the biggest annoyances in konqueror file management the inability to set focus on a file or directory in an efficient way with selection markers off. I have opened a bug at kde.org: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=253527 (please add comments there - in short:) In KDE4 4.5.2 (and versions prior) konqueror failes to properly place focus on the file or directory in detail or tree view when you click in the area after the file name in the "Name" column. In fact, if the user turns off selection markers, there is no way to place focus on a file or directory without right-clicking on the actual file or directory name and then canceling the resulting context menu. In KDE3 - it was simple. If you wanted to focus a file or directory you just clicked in the blank area to the right of the filename. If you wanted to launch the file or open the directory, you just clicked on the filename or dirname itself. Clean and efficient. (screenshot attached to bug report) Steps to Reproduce: turn off selection markers and try and set focus with the left-mouse on a file or dir without launching it -- it is impossible. Is there some technical limitation in kde4 that makes implementing what seems like such a simple and logical feature we had in kde3 impossible? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
