I expect this is a case of a corrupt file. I'll try and track it down. I agree with the assessment on robustness. In our product we have taken to using a pattern of 1. open config.new 2. write config.new 3. write config.new 4. close config.new 5. rename config.new config Which for single files avoids the corruption of a part written file. Oh. I had kmail configured to use plain text for this identity... Hummm... I cannot find the force plain text option in kmail now. I'm running 4.8.2. I'll have to remmember to check it manually.

For technical reasons related to qt4, the choice (which I don't really agree with but I'm not the one doing the coding so it's not my say, it was certainly the easiest choice to make, but not the most robust) was made to run all of plasma, including all plasmoids/widgets, as a single- threaded app. That means that if one freezes or goes into an endless loop, plasma itself quits responding. This wasn't exactly the best choice possible in terms of robustness, for an app designed to be extensible with plugins (plasmoids in this case) written by all sorts of people of various levels of expertise, as can be found on for example kde-look, which is fully integrated into kde via the get-hot-new-stuff APIs. Whatever. The result is that if plasma continues responding, you know at least that it's not a fully locked-up plasmoid. But one may still be taking all the CPU available to it, which seems to be your situation.

I had similar problems in the past. Sometimes it was a buggy plasmoid, so by removing them one after another I was able to find out which one. You can back up you .kde/share/config/ directory if you want to easily revert to the original state, I think saving the plasma-desktop-appletsrc file in there alone would also suffice. You can also start over and rename the .kde directory (or try as another user) to see if it always happens or if it is something with your specific setup.

In order to facilitate more collaboration with other Free Software desktop projects, the version 4 series switched to D-Bus which then even got support in Qt4 itself. There are several D-Bus command line tools available, e.g. dbus-send (from the core D-Bus package) or qdbus (from Qt, package "qdbus"). The latter has a similar behavior like the dcop command line tool, e.g. invoking it without any argument shows the known D-Bus connections (programs using D-Bus) and so on. There is also an UI tool calls qdbusviewer, package qt4-dev-tools, which makes exploring available interfaces easier than repeatedly calling the commandline tool.

KDE provides a version of the Red Hat tool system-config-printer called (funnily enough) system-config-printer-kde. This is the same tool used by most distro's these days but with a KDE gui. It is maintained by the Kubuntu guys. If installed you'll find it in System Settings. However some distro's ship their own tool, for example openSuse ships their own Yast tool which is not shown in System Settings, so do not ship the KDE tool. http://screenshots.debian.net/package/system-config-printer-kde http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdeadmin/system-config-printer-kde/index.html Another option is KDE Print Manager which is being developed by dantti, but I don't know if anyone is shipping that yet. http://dantti.wordpress.com/ https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/base/print-manager John. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.

Actually, kde claimed 4.2 was ready for use, while at the same time the devs were telling users that various features hadn't been ported yet. Not feature-complete is a classic definition of alpha software, so it wasn't even BETA yet, let alone READY FOR ORDINARY USE! Anyway... 4.5 was the first kde4 feature-release version that was finally worth calling release quality, IMO. If you're still on 4.4, that means that you're using what I consider pre-release quality software, and I'd urge you to get on at least a late 4.5 release as soon as possible. The difference is definitely worth the trouble, altho I don't believe the printer bug was fixed until 4.7-ish. But 4.5 was the last hal-based kde4, so an upgrade to it on your existing distro release should be reasonable. I'd recommen</pre> Duncan 2012-05-11T07:34:05 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.general/25837 <pre> That is for system defaults. Need personal defaults. That is how I normally do system defaults. I was aware of lpoptions command. No way a normal user can deal with that. It's just too bad that kde has lost so much ground for enterprise use :-( Then again the alternatives are as bad or worse. ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.

I couldn't find a more appropriate mailing list than this, but if there's a better place to ask, please let me know. I'm using KDE 3.5.4, with KSMServer 0.4. I recently upgraded from Emacs 21.4 to Emacs 23.3. When I use Emacs 21, I can open a file in Emacs, log out, log in again, and have the same file open in Emacs. When I use Emacs 23, I can open a file, log out, log in again, and get an Emacs window the same size and shape as my old one, but not with the old file. I would like to get the same behavior in Emacs 23 that I had in Emacs 21. I figured out that KSMServer is the program that manages sessions, but I couldn't find much documentation for how it works. One thing that may be important is that Emacs 21 does not implement the XSMP session management protocol, but Emacs 23 at least claims to. Does KSMServer have a fallback mode for programs that don't use XSMP? If so, how does it decide when to use its fallback mode? I'm happy</pre> Noah Lavine 2012-05-09T14:23:17 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.kde.general/25835 <pre>-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On 09/05/12 00:47, redcap wrote: Hehe - you're not the first one to be caught that way.

Also we have large multifunction printers that need account codes and a lot of other options. To make it manageable people set up instances with sets of options for various projects. Using kde 3.5 could do it all in Control Center with a nice user interface. I can't seem to find any way to get the job done in kde 4.4. The best I can find so far is using xpp. Is there anything available? John ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.

If not, could you please point me to some other resource where I may find help? For a few days now I try to register at the KDE community forums, unfortunately without any success. The problem is that I do not receive any activation email. I checked my spam folder and also tried to request a resend of the activation email several times but to no avail. A few days ago I tried to contact the Forum Administrators about the issue but so far I have not received an answer. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Are there any known issues with the email and registration system at the KDE forums right now or is it more likely a mistake on my part?
