by Istvan Gabor 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Hello: When I open kmix window by clicking "show mixer window" in system tray kmix, kmix window is placed at the upper left corner of the screen and it has no wndow decorations. See image: http://i55.tinypic.com/122gqz5.jpg I have openSUSE 11.2 w/t KDE 4.5.1 factory and kmix-4.5.1-131.1. How to fix this one?

[opensuse] How to change KDE panel background
by John Bennett 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Just installed (fresh) 11.3 x64 / KDE on new hardware - Core i5/4gb. The background of the main panel doesn't seem to have picked up a proper background - is just grey/striped. Don't recall that as being normal.... How can I configure it?

That's what I wanted. > > I even did not notice that "mixer" is a clickable button. > > I thought it was the name of the application. > > LOL. > Just like so many other tools and applications, eh? Well, I got used to KDE3. You probably know too that in KDE3 if you left click on the system tray volume icon you get the volume bar just upper the system tray, and if you right click on it you get the context menu. In context menu the top line says "Kmix" and it is not clickable. I just thought that in KDE4 the "Mixer" line replaces this line and I did not try to click it. And in KDE3 if you click in the context menu "show mixer window" it opens the volume manager in a window. I expected this to occur in KDE4 but it showed the mixer bar at the left upper corner instead. I did not know how to open the kmix window. You explained it, thanks for it. (In the meantime I realized that KDE3 kmix also shows the "mixer" line in the volume bar when you left click the system tray button. As I barely use kmix in KDE3 (I prefer KAMix) I did not remember this. > > Now I don't see what the right click > show mixer window > > option is good for at all.

Right click it appears on the top left No. It gives the context menu which is expected. In the context menu there is a line saying: "Show Mixer Window". Clicking on this the volume bar is opened in the upper left corner. For me mixer window looks like this: http://i56.tinypic.com/mqbll.jpg Clicking "show mixer window" opens the volume bar which is definitely not the mixer window; that is the line saying "show mixer window" is misleading. As I see no logic behind putting a volume bar into the upper left corner after clicking in the right lower corner, I thought that this is not the normal behavior. If this is the normal behavior then the clickable line should be changed according to this. Not? > and Left click it appears on the bottom right Correct and expected. > > That seems logical enough to me :-) > > [and if you middle click the icon changes size :-) ] Yes, since mute, unmute, and the icon reflects this change. That is nice. Thanks for your help again, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all-- Printing from Oracle Forms or from the cli to CUPS cups-1.4.4 does not print with or without the option 'nobanner'.

[opensuse] Dolphin audio file preview work for anyone?
by jsa 04 Sep '10

04 Sep '10

In Dolphin, if you select an audio file the Preview window on the right shows a Play button and a slider. The play button appears active, but clicking it does nothing other than showing the button depress. This hasn't worked for me for the last many releases. What packages or configuration do I need to make this work? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help(a)opensuse.org

I found the suggested "Console" font and it works. Looks the same as Misc Console and startup speed has improved too, though it is still longer than KDE3 konsole's (3 sec vs. less than 2 sec). I had a short look at the links you gave and I see that these bugs are not new, they are 6 to 9 months old. As this font problem is not minor I find it strange it still hasn't been fixed.
