If yast2-control-center-qt is installed, it should bring in all the needed KDE/QT dependencies. If it doesn't, it is a packaging bug. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

[opensuse] Text wrap in Thunderbird
by Carlos E. R. 13 May '14

13 May '14

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi, Anybody knows if there is an add on or something for thunderbird to disable word wrap in a paragraph, when composing a plain text email in Thunderbird? Or disable word wrap completely for the current message only? I know how to disable it for all messages, or rather, to wrap at some insane column number, like 300. Being able to disable wrap for a text section would be very useful in order to paste commands from a terminal or source code without it being hideously distorted. My current workaround is to "paste as quotation", which has the side effect of disabling word wrap - - at the cost of adding an extra ">" at the left, which obviously confuses some recipients when you are posting commands for them to paste and run directly... - -- Cheers Carlos E.

[opensuse] Nvida irritations
by Anton Aylward 13 May '14

13 May '14

One step forward, three steps back ... Once upon a time I could use acroread, foxit, and the like to read PDF with scrolling being smooth. A while back I tried installing the proprietary nvidia driver and every few hours my system would 'freeze', going from its normal load factor of <5 to 25 or more. Its hard to do any monitoring when that happens but it seems that the time was taken with either kwin or kswap0. I don't know why and I don't know why that pushed to load factor up and the responsiveness down. When it worked, the nvidia driver was great. Tke KDE eye candy like cube rotation, was fast and everything danced. But four or more times a day things froze. I un-installed the driver and went back to 'nv' in in xorg config, but I think that the nvidia installation had done other things because now the scrolling, certainly of documents in full screen mode, and that goes for things like LibreOffice as well, is jerky. Of course editing small windows like this one to compose this message which isn't scrolling and just echoing characters, that's OK. Not demanding. Scrolling a pick list, even one like the list of messages in Thunderbird, is OK. Superficially it seems to be a full screen problem. I'm in no hurry to go back to the intermittent freezes but I don't recall this behaviour before I tried the proprietary driver. I'm no X guru; I can get it working but I don't know about tuning. Any hints, even as to running the proprietary drivers without the freezes, would be welcome.

[opensuse] seamonkey session doesn't close
by Daniel Bauer 12 May '14

12 May '14

Hello, Yesterday I clicked on the update icon and, with others, seamonkey was updated to 2.25 (on OS 12.3, KDE). When I close the browser window (using the button at the top on the right) In expect seamonkey to close completely just as if I had clicked on file -> close. But since the update it does not anymore. I use session cookies for example for those pages that try to follow me thru the web (facebook, google...). So if I once in a while login to such a site I first close all my browser windows, then open a new one, login, and when I finish I close the browser to get rid of the cookies. But now I realized that when I come back to such a page, I am still logged in. This means, the cookies haven't been deleted. I can reproduce this behavior: - closing browser window with button: cookies survive - closing via menu: cookies deleted Is this a new feature (leaving programs running "in secret" just like mac's do) or a bug? Anybody knows something about that?

[opensuse] Baloo: Excessive Disk I/O
by Lars Kruczynski 12 May '14

12 May '14

I'm not impressed with Baloo at all, in fact it's really slowing my computer down and KDE 4.13 so far has been a drag all because of Baloo. When running BOINC, Baloo constantly wants to index everything BOINC writes to the disk which is frequent. Yes, I can exclude the BOINC directory, but there's no GUI option for a new user to shut off Baloo which is ridiculous, and it's even more ridiculous that the KDE dev who designed this piece of crap won't put in a feature to shut this piece of malware off. The next thing that's pissing me off is that when downloading torrents, Baloo goes completely nuts and sucks 25% of one core when the torrents are going and causes an extreme amount of disk I/O. How was this even released, because it's completely awful and I want it gone. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse] KDE Notification sounds mute/pause VLC
by Stefan Gofferje 11 May '14

11 May '14

Hi, I just rediscovered a rather old and INSANELY annoying issue in my 12.3 installation... When I watch any vido with VLC and a notification sound plays, VLC will pause and mute sound. When you continue playing then, the next notification sound will just mute VLC but not pause it. That is annoying the crap out of me as I recently watch a lot of video streams via VLC. It only occurs when a sound comes on the pulseaudio "Notifications" channel. I went through the VLC config like 500 times but nothing jumped at me that could disable this behavior. Does anybody know how to get rid of this? -S -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface
