I discovered last night that Prtsc no longer launches KSnapshot.  All
very odd.

Non-working global shortcut

Anne Wilson — 2012-05-25T14:23:41

My laptop has been away for repair.  When it came back there was no
paperwork - I've no idea what was done to it, but there are a couple of
very strange things.  Of course, the first thing I did when it came back
was update, so it's possible that something there is involved.

1) Not important, but strange - the panel clock was 1 hour wrong.
2) My defined shortcut to launch kpat, my chosen lunchtime relaxation,
no longer works.  I deleted it and redefined it, but no joy.

The clock business is just a curiosity.  Short of messing with the bios
setting I can't think why that would be.  I'd really like to get the
shortcut working again.  What could interfere with that?

Anne

Yes because everyone will not update to F17

Good experience with calligra

José Matos — 2012-05-24T08:23:29

Hi all,
    probably this is the wrong place for this comment but since I am
overloaded with work it should be better here than nowhere. :-)

    I am quite pleased with calligra import of docx documents, sometimes
my students send me docx documents with math formulas (or related) and I
have been able to read them with calligra suite but not with libreoffice.

Note that this is only for reading and not writing or editing or whatever.

I should also say that I have written tips to explain them that pdf is a
better format for file transfer FWIW.

Regards,

Worth a bugzilla?

Ed Greshko — 2012-05-24T05:28:10

Looking for an opinion.....

I've verified a bug on 2 fully updated F16 systems.  It involves KDE, ibus, and
LibreOffice but I suspect it is a KDE problem since it works in GNOME.

The problem no longer exists in F17.  So, the question, is it worthwhile to submit a
bugzilla against F16 when you know the issue doesn't exist in F17?

Amarok 2.5.0 has a bad memory leak

Gerald B. Cox — 2012-05-23T03:07:31

Just an FYI in case like me you leave amarok running at times... don't....

Amarok memory leak when changing tracks
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298627

Easily reproducible - just load up a playlist and
select the repeat playlist option.

The only plugins I am using are mass
storage device and lastfm.

I ran the following command to document the leak:
top -b -d 150 -p 11866 > amarok.txt

I then imported the results into a google spreadsheet you can view here:
http://goo.gl/Q4bZw

Memory utilization started out at 7.4% and ended up at 31.9% after approx 48
hours.  The leak is steady and unrelenting.  I ran the same playlist under QMMP
during the same period and memory utilization was steady at 2.5% throughout the
period.

Re: kdewebdev forever QT3

Kevin Kofler — 2012-05-20T21:18:03

Actually, the one app he's asking about, KFileReplace, has been ported! What 
is still unfinished is the port/rewrite of Quanta. We are shipping KDE 3 
kdewebdev because Quanta is the main app in it and it uses the other stuff 
in it. (In fact, the reason why something as generic as KFileReplace is in 
kdewebdev is exactly because Quanta uses it.) Shipping KDE 3 Quanta with the 
other stuff from KDE 4 kdewebdev is something we haven't been looking into, 
because KDE 4 Quanta was always "coming soon". But now it's still not 
released! We could look into it again…

Rex Dieter — 2012-05-18T20:20:41

Some of it has been ported, but not imo the most important piece: quanta

which is the main reason we're still shipping the old kde3 kdewebdev in fedora

oh no, please do not take away "kfilereplace"

i would be quite happy if someone only ports this as seperate

if i could deal with C/C++/QT i would do it by myself :-(

I have seen zero work put toward porting kdewebdev to KDE3/Qt4

which is too bad really.

I will ask the KDE Release Team if we should remove kdewebdev from the KDE SC releases.

kdewebdev forever QT3

Reindl Harald — 2012-05-18T19:33:27

hi

does anybody now if kdewebdev will be ported to KDE4/QT4

the for me only important app is "/usr/bin/kfilereplace"
and the dependencies are really large for one small tool
besides the additional work upstream to maintain the
more or less dead QT3

Sounds like SELinux being a PITA, try disabling SELinux.

Re: Can't - sometimes - leave kde

George Galt — 2012-05-15T15:57:06

As another data point, I had this issue with Fedora 15 (x86_64), but
it went away when I did a clean install of Fedora 16.

Ed Greshko — 2012-05-15T12:19:19

Yes, I've seen the same thing.  However, it seemed to always occur after a batch of
updates so I've ignored it.  At the moment, I don't know what should be done to
collect more information.

Can't - sometimes - leave kde

Martin Kho — 2012-05-15T11:14:30

Hi,

This is a really weird issue. Sometimes when I want to reboot, shutdown or log 
out ('f' -> Leave -> Log out / Restart / Shut Down) nothing happens (the count 
down messagebox doesn't appear) . Lock, Sleep and Hibernate are okay. There 
are no error messages in .xsession-errors, /var/log/messages 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/kdm.log and/or /var/log/secure.

When log out etc. fails authentication more generally seems to fail. e.g. I 
tried to change the shutdown command (System Settings -> Login Screen -> 
Shutdown). After pressing the Apply button, a messagebox appeared telling that 
authentication failed. In /var/log/secure the following messages appeared:

May 14 23:17:12 ps-1866 polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication 
Agent for unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name 
:1.55 [/usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1], object path 
/org/kde/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8)
May 14 23:18:14 ps-1866 polkitd(authority=local): Operator

Not possible to execute/authenticate action: 6

Lucélio Gomes de Freitas — 2012-05-14T16:11:01

Hi,

I open systemsetting to change timezone to (GMT-3), and after clicking
"apply",  I get the error on KDE control module, "Not possible to
execute/authenticate the accion: 6", and timezone is updated.   After
the restart of the system, my timezone setting is wrong again, and get
to the previous(GMT).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Re: Sandy Bridge / Desktop Effects

kernel, mesa, xorg-x11-drv-* updates are the most likely candidates.
