[opensuse] OpenSuse 11.0 and KDE 4 Unstable
Hi all, I'm in a bit of a quandry with my KDE 4 installation. I am currently running Opensuse 11.0 and have been upgrading my KDE 4 and QT from the following repositories for quite some time: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/UNSTABLE:/Desktop/openS... http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Qt/openSUSE_11.0/ This all worked very well until about 2 weeks ago and I was using a very stable 4,2 and then an initial unstable 4.3 devel which quite often black screened. However since that initial 4.3 I have been unable to update When I update the KDE4 I have to upgrade the QT to version 4.4.90+4.5.0. However, with this version of QT installed I cannot run Yast software management as it Seg faults on drawing its window. Reverting to the QT44 repository allows Yast to work again. I have tried the Yast Backport repository as well but that is no better I seem to be at a bit of an impasse; I can do one of the following it seems: 1. Not upgrade KDE4 any more 2. Upgrade and not use yast-QT (Yast-GTK isnt as good) 3. Upgrade to opensuse 11.1 (assuming this wont have the same problem) - dont want this as I have all the software set up exactly as I want it and I dont really have the time to sort them all out again. 4. Find a solution to my repository fiasco. Has anyone else had this problem and know how to solve it - I would really like to continue testing and using kde4 as I have found since 4.2 that it is fast becoming a really good desktop and had started using it for most things. The current version that I have installed seems to have a couple of annoying problems and hence why I want to resolve the issue: 1. Kopete yahoo seems to send blank messages but emoticons get sent. Havent been able to debug it as my yahoo contact isnt technically minded but im beginning to wonder if it is setting the font to white 2. As mentioned earlier I quite often end up with a black screen - the mouse cursor is still there and the desktop still functions it is just all black. Seems to happen when I move a window and wobbly windows is on or sometimes when I click on the suse style menu. If the effects are off it doesnt seem to happen. So please advise me how to resolve this little problem Andrew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Something like this: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477599 or this: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=477831 The error message is important to look for bug. ...

If "yahoo contact" == "Yahoo support level 1" then don't be surprised. The level 1 support personnel, in any company, are sometimes called script readers. Did you tried to set font color to anything else?

What graphic adapter you have? Searching or comparing is possible only when this is known.
So please advise me how to resolve this little problem

I would advise you to use KDE:KDE4:Factory instead of UNSTABLE, and downgrade any 'too-new' packages in YaST (the ncurses UI is as functional as the Qt UI for package management). That way you will still be able to help us prove our packaging, report bugs to bugzilla and bugs.kde.org, and get updated versions of KDE 4.2, without the pain of using software that hasn't been integrated with the rest of the distro yet. Also, anyone using Factory or UNSTABLE should be subscribed to opensuse- kde@opensuse.org, where we give notice of changes like the switch from 4.2 to trunk in UNSTABLE once 4.2 was released and 11.1 was finished.
