Mouse Clicks

Peter Gueckel — 2012-05-26T14:32:02

Has anyone noticed that for a bout a week mouse clicks are almost impossible? 
Sometimes a single click opens a program twice, sometimes a single click will not 
tick/untick a button until it is done 4 or 5 times, sometimes it is almost impossible 
to drop down a drop-down menu with a mouse click, etc.

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?

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.

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

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 of unix-
session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 FAILED to authenticate to gain 
authorization for action org.kde.kcontrol.kcmkdm.save for unix-
process:2171:397117 [/usr/bin/systemsettings -caption System Settings --icon 
preferences-system] (owned by unix-user:martin)

The above issue happens both in up to date Fedora 16 and 17.

Have anyone else seen this? Any ideas how I can get more information on this 
issue?

Thanks,

Martin Kho

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.

Inline rename gone in 4.8//Dolphin 2.0 (and konqueror)

Gene Smith — 2012-05-09T02:04:36

This bug report explains why inline renaming is no longer possible in 
Dolphin (and konqueror too it seems):

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286893

They claim it will be back in the 4.9 KDE and/or Dolphin 2.1. Will F16 
eventually upgrade to these or will it require >=F17?

Opinion: Dropping features and confusing users in mid-stream and then 
promising to bring them back is not good practice.

xpra compatibility problems

Neal Becker — 2012-05-03T11:55:33

I was trying out xpra, but it seems to have been bitten by a kde bug.  The bug 
is mentioned at the bottom of this page:

http://xpra.org/faq.html#platforms

It seems kde needs a patch for this to work.  Any chance of seeing this in 
fedora kde?

kde-4.8.3 in kde-testing

Rex Dieter — 2012-05-02T00:24:57

Got kde-4.8.3 f16/f17 builds in kde-testing, and queue'd for 
updates-testing as well.

For f17, there's a chance we can ship with that (instead of 4.8.2), 
assuming we can some good feedback. (else, it'll just be available as an 
update afterward).

Test test test, and enjoy.

Akonadi-google future packages

Mario Santagiuliana — 2012-04-29T21:34:01

Hi to all, I am the maintainer of akonadi-google packages:
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/acls/name/akonadi-google

Today I see that the developer move his software to kdepim-runtime:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/pim/akonadi-
google/repository/revisions/efb32159c283168cc2ab1a39e6fa3c8a30fbc941

What should I do with my packages?

warning: "/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libicudata.so.46.0.debug": separatedebug info file has no debug info

Brad Hubbard — 2012-04-29T08:52:04

Hi all,

Before we start, I know this is a system library and not part of KDE and 
I'm more than happy to create BZs for the affected packages but given 
this is effecting the debugging of kmix I thought someone might have 
some input.

While looking at a core from a kmix segfault I found this warning.

warning: "/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libicudata.so.46.0.debug": separate 
debug info file has no debug info

So I looked further...

(gdb) info shared
 From                To                  Syms Read   Shared Object Library
0x0000003c480004b0  0x0000003c480005b8  Yes (*) 
/usr/lib64/libicudata.so.46
(*): Shared library is missing debugging information.

Further investigation shows the debuginfo is actually statically linked?

$ file /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libicudata.so.46.0.debug
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libicudata.so.46.0.debug: ELF 64-bit LSB shared 
object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

nm shows few symbols exported and the following shows it is not alone.

$ for file in `ls /usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/lib*`
 > do
 > file $file |grep static
 > done
/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libcdda_interface.so.0.10.2.debug: ELF 64-bit

/usr/lib/debug/usr/lib64/libvorbisenc.so.2.0.9.debug: ELF 64-bit LSB 
shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped

Is this by design?

Cheers,
Brad

lightdm in kde-testing

Rex Dieter — 2012-04-26T12:52:43

Thanks to the efforts of several folks (namely Christoph Wickert), we're 
getting close to bringing lightdm to fedora.

Per http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/LightDM, LightDM is a 
cross-desktop display manager.  In short, it's an alternative to gdm or 
kdm for example.

Want to try it out?  If you're comfortable with switching login managers 
and being able to back out and fix things if things go awry... :) ... 
we've some experimental builds in kde-testing repos (f16/f17):

yum --enablerepo=kde-testing install lightdm lightdm-gtk-greeter

and edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop to include:
DISPLAYMANAGER=/usr/sbin/lightdm

(and reboot)


and later if you're daring,
yum --enablerepo=kde-testing install lightdm-kde
and edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to include:
greeter-session=lightdm-kde-greeter


We're currently gathering feedback and a bit more testing before 
submitting this for formal review to be included in fedora.


To forestall the inevitable question:  Do we have plans to replace kdm? 
  No, not right now, but depending on how well lightdm works, maybe 
sometime in the not-too-distant future (f18/f19+).

PackageKit-0.7.4-1 downgrades PackageKi-qt, huh?

Martin Kho — 2012-04-25T16:36:17

Hi,

The latest PackageKit provides libpackagekit-qt2.so.1. The previous version 
contains libpackagekit-qt2.so.2. The new version breaks apper.

Does anyone know why PackageKit-qt is downgraded?

Thanks,

Martin Kho

Updating Amarok's database

Patrick O'Callaghan — 2012-04-25T15:08:16

When I rip a CD I want to add the contents to Amarok's database. It
would appear that the way to do this is by rescanning the entire system.

1) Is this true? Is there no way to simply add the newly-ripped material
without rescanning everything?

2) Even if it is true, it simply doesn't work. I can visit the new
folder via the Files view, and Amarok duly sees it, but on returning to
the Local Music view, nothing. The problem is that I want to add the new
stuff to my media player (a Galaxy Nexus), but the GN is only visible in
the Local Music view, not the Files view, so there's no way to achieve
this. Very frustrating.

<rant>
I used to like Amarok back in the KDE 3 days. I have no wish to return
to KDE 3, but I'm afraid Amarok got too ambitious and buggy. For one
thing, I find the UI really quite hard to understand, so the above
problems might just be PEBKAC.
</rant>

Nightmare in PIM-land

Timothy Murphy — 2012-04-22T14:15:04

I'm trying to make sense of the setup in kdepim-4.8.2-1.fc16.i686.

I can say at once that this facility is in a terrible mess,
The documentation is either non-existent (KAddressBook),
out-of-date (<http://userbase.kde.org/KAddressBook>),
or utterly confused and confusing (The Kontact Handbook).

The best place to start seems to be f=>System Settings=>Personal 
Information.
Clicking on this lists a number of Akonadi "resources".

I have 4 entries here which seem to be relevant to my present purpose:
  Address Book
  Personal Contacts
  LDAP Address Book
  akonadi_googledata_resource_0

Let me call these my four Contact Lists.
On highlighting any of the first three, and clicking on Modify,
I get some information about the entry.
Address Book points to ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
Personal Contacts points to ~/.local/share/contacts/
LDAP Address Book points to the OpenLDAP database on my server
akonadi_googledata_resource_0 points to my Google email address.

Now I've left System Settings, and gone to f=>Office=>Personal Information 
Manager.
(I can get to the same place in many ways.)
My 4 Contact Lists appear, together with a Search folder,
which I shall ignore for the moment.

I've highlighted Address Book, which is empty at the moment,
and added a New Contact, "Anne Murphy",
and a New Group, "Knapton Court Residents Association".
Checking, I see that the contact is indeed added to 
~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/std.vcf
The group appears in the file ~/.kde/share/apps/kabc/distlists

However, I can see no way to add the contact to the group.

According to <http://userbase.kde.org/KAddressBook>
-------------------------------
Groups will replace Distribution Lists.
Auto completion makes it quite easy to add entries to the group.
In KDE SC <= 4.4.2 you can't use the group quite like a distribution list,
typing the name and expecting it to be expanded into a list of names.
You can, though, copy and paste the list of names from the right-hand panel.
-------------------------------
I don't really understand what this means,
but I don't see any way of associating or adding a contact
to a group.

Distribution list facility

Timothy Murphy — 2012-04-21T13:47:18

Is there a facility in KMail/Kontacts/KAddressBook
to set up a small distribution list?

strigi

P. Gueckel — 2012-04-17T01:52:58

When I installed Fedora 17ßrc, I noticed that strigi is not 
installed by default. nepomuk appears to be working properly 
(given that I don't use it for anything I am aware of).

Can I continue without strigi? Since I already have 
virtuoso, what would strigi give me?

testing kde-telepathy

Christos Lazaridis — 2012-04-10T15:13:58

Hi,

While checking out the kde-telepathy from kde-testing, I was getting failures 
when I tried to connect to my google talk account. I soon discovered that ktp-
auth-handler was not installed.

I was just wondering whether this package should be pulled in by default when 
installing ktp.

cheers,
  Christos.
