[opensuse] kde4 3.5 - use of mc on remote host kills mouse-click input
by David C. Rankin 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Guys, Will, Sven, KDE 3.5.2. I opened konsole and used ssh to connect to my backup office server (suse 10.3) and needed to run mc to move several directories around before a backup. The only apps running were an xterm, konsole and compiz. Once mc started, strangely, it was grabbing focus from the mouse where the mouse would highlight the files/directories and would automatically open the menus on mouseover. A mouse-click did nothing, but everywhere the mouse moved, mc lit up and focus jumped from file-to-file, etc. That in itself was very frustrating. Every time you moved the mouse to do anything (like try and get to another window) the mc interface would try and follow the mouse, sequentially focusing every file or popping open every menu along the mouse path. The problem however is when mc grabbed the mouse (mouse events, whatever you call it) mouse input in plasma was disabled or crashed. With mc on the remote server still active, I could still move the mouse around in kde4, but that was it. There was no way to change focus between windows with the mouse, you could not grab the window any move it, the plasma panel would not unhide and clicking the mouse did nothing. Shutting down mc while konsole was still open made no difference. I could move the mouse, but it didn't do anything except move across the screen. No way to raise the panel or focus or move any other window, etc... At this point, the only way to interact with kde4 was through the keyboard (tab, alt-tab, alt-f2, and alt-menu accel keys). Clicking on anything had no effect. Shutting down konsole (where mc was connected to the 10.3 box) restored the ability to raise the panel and use the mouse to focus windows and focus menus, buttons (on open applications), etc.., but you could not open the start menu, activate or do anything with the mouse clicks. It looked like plasma was just ignoring all clicks or whatever reads mouse clicks had crashed. The only way to open thunderbird and write this email was 'alt+f2 thunderbird' Obviously, I need to be able to use mc on remote hosts though konsole on kde4. However, with this behavior, no only is mc unusable, the entire desktop becomes unusable. Is there some setting somewhere in kde4 I can set that tells kde4 not to try and process mouse events in konsole when I launch mc? From working trough this issue, it looks like as soon as kde4 tried to provide mouse input to mc, mouse input to the rest of kde4 broke. What else can I provide to help here? I really need to get mc usable for remote hosts in kde4. I'm kind of shocked that it doesn't just work and I don't know enough about kde4 to know where any setting relevant to this issue might live. Thanks. P.S. during the 5-10 minutes it took to write the e-mail, mouse-clicks have began to work again. That's a positive sign, but I can't have the mouse drop out for 5-10 minutes every time I open mc on a remote host. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

[opensuse] Major Bug 11.3 - gnibbles is broken...
by David C. Rankin 27 Nov '10

27 Nov '10

Guys, Can somebody confirm whether gnibbles is working on their 11.3 box. My 8 year old wanted "that snake game" and launched gnibbles and it just stayed at the intro screen. It looks like it is actually running behind the intro screen, but it isn't drawing the game. (you can see the worm scores changing). If it works for you, let me know. If not, I'll file the bug report. Lord knows we can't live without a working gnibbles :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
