Alt+F3 window menu
by Martin Airs 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

Good day all, Just wondering if this is just me or if anyone else experiences this, when I click on the far left button or right click on a window title bar, the menu which comes up, comes up in the top left corner of the screen. No matter were the window is on the desktop it always appears at the top of the screen, yet when I press Alt+F3 on the keyboard is shows in the right place. I thought this might have gone away in 4.7 but its still there. anyone else see this? Thanks Martin

akonadi notes resources and more notes
by Peter G. 16 Oct '11

16 Oct '11

There are notes at: /home/peter/.local/share/notes/ /home/peter/.kde/share/apps/unsortednotes/ /home/peter/.local/share//notes/3fRFZwn3z9 Plus, I have my own notes.ics file, which is actually the only one I need to use, as it has my data. What are all of these other ones? Why are there so many? And which one is the one used by knotes, since knotes no longer shows any notes at all?

KDE + X + Nvidia problems
by Armelius Cameron 13 Oct '11

13 Oct '11

Hello, I am having some issues with KDE + X + Nvidia right now, not sure which one is the cause, but I am wondering if anyone here has seen the same thing or if there's any workaround. My system: 8 core Intel i7, graphic card (as output by "lspci") VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G98 [Quadro NVS 295] (rev a1). Running fully updated F14. Initially I just used Nouveau driver. For the most part, it works just fine (3D accel., window compositing), but recently I got more and more lock-up. I got error messages on /var/log/messages similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618143, but there is no resolution there. Interestingly, the every lock-up happens when I switch desktop and then try to interact with Kontact (e.g. check email, my kontact is always full- screen on a virtual desktop). When the desktop locks-up, I can't even switch it to another TTY, although I can SSH to it from another machine and reboot it (switching to init 3 or init 1 didn't work). So I got tired of it, and just yesterday tried proprietary Nvidia driver from RPMFusion (basically following the how-to there). With this driver, I haven't had any lock-up yet, but KDE apps are behaving poorly: 1. Kile with simple latex file would be so sluggish, X uses > 90% of CPU on "top", with "kile" as the next process on the list. 2. Kate basically has similar behavior 3. kwrite has similar behaviour 4. Kmail / Kontact has similar behavior (esp. with composer window), but much less severe (CPU usage for X is hovering around 40 - 50%). So... what's happening here ? Anyone has seen this ? I'm baffled. Thanks. AC

digikam-2.2.0-1.fc15.x86_64 crashes every time I try to import photos from phone. I did not install debug symbols (yet) so no useful backtrace.

F15 / KDE 4.7.2 / Akonadi >= 1.6.2
by Eelko Berkenpies 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Hi all, I was not able to update to 4.7.2. on at least two F15 machines due to the following error: --> Finished Dependency Resolution --> Running transaction check ---> Package kdepimlibs-akonadi.x86_64 0:4.7.2-1.fc15 will be an update --> Processing Dependency: akonadi(x86-64) >= 1.6.2 for package: kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.7.2-1.fc15.x86_64 ---> Package kernel.x86_64 0:2.6.40-4.fc15 will be erased ---> Package kernel-devel.x86_64 0:2.6.40-4.fc15 will be erased --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.7.2-1.fc15.x86_64 (kde-unstable) Requires: akonadi(x86-64) >= 1.6.2 Installed: akonadi-1.6.1-1.fc15.x86_64 (@kde-unstable) akonadi(x86-64) = 1.6.1-1.fc15 Available: akonadi-1.5.2-1.fc15.x86_64 (fedora) akonadi(x86-64) = 1.5.2-1.fc15 Available: akonadi-1.5.3-1.fc15.x86_64 (updates) akonadi(x86-64) = 1.5.3-1.fc15 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest Is it just me or anyone else having this problem too? :) Regards, Eelko Berkenpies

by Reindl Harald 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744578 has anybody an idea what triggered kmix after running for hours in the middle of playing a h264-video to stop audio-output and start flooding /var/log/messages?

KDE 4.7.2 -> folderview -> rename
by Reindl Harald 09 Oct '11

09 Oct '11

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=270414 seemes saigo really reverted the WORKING patch and KDE 4.7.2 from kde-redhat repo has the bug again what was fixed a short time in 4.7.1 - strange that kde-upstream really think it is the right way that such things are only fixed after angry people kneel in front of the maintainers no - i will not kneel in front of any developer for fixing things that never should happen like breaking core-functions like rename a file since they must not happen if anybody would test his code

Probably a variant of: 733462 - glibc-2.14.90-6 causes kdeinit4 to segfault https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733462 fixed in -7 and newer. -- rex

control konsole size
by Michael D. Berger 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

On my Fedora 15, KDE 4, I have a konsole icon on the panel. When I click it, I would like to get a 80x25 window, which I may then resize as needed. However, the system sometimes remembers my last konsole size, and delivers me one of this last size when I click the icon. How can I make it always deliver 80x25? Thanks, Mike.

KMail and KDE47
by Claude Jones 07 Oct '11

07 Oct '11

I just tried to migrate my old KMail structure to KDE47 again last night. The last attempt resulted in a complete disaster of lost messages and parallel folder structures, and processes being run that completely took over the machine and made using it almost impossible. My methodology: 1) I logged out of KDE and restarted in Gnome 2) I renamed the .kde folder and copied the one from a non KDE47 machine from work that was working perfectly, which happened to have the same archive of mail as my home machine 3) I then logged out of Gnome and logged back in to KDE 4) There was an immediate message about migrating the address book that appeared to succeed after a few moments - Kontact was not running at this time 5) I started Kontact and got a message about the need to migrate my mail and did I want to do that - when I answered affirmatively, I got an almost instantaneous failure message 6) I then tried to run the kmail-migraror --interactive command - this resulted in an error to the effect that this had already been run and would not be run again 7) I then repeated steps 1-4 but, instead of then starting Kontact, I ran the migrator first from a command line 8) This resulted in a lot of activity with a message log box indicating that the process was running, and then, after a few moments, apparent success 9) However, when I then opened Kontact, KMail was still a mess - this time, I ended up with two "KMail folders" trees, with one having my old folder structure from "Local folders" apparently migrated, but many folders were not populated with messages, and a second "KMail folders" tree with only my InBox and Sent Messages boxes which both had a lot of messages in them 10) I noticed however that there was a lot of hard drive activity and the messages count in the truncated "KMail folders" tree was changing, going down, actually - so, I just let things run overnight 11) This morning, the hard drive activity has stopped, and KMail is responsive, but, there are still two "KMail folders" trees, with a lot of messages remaining still in the truncated tree; "Local folders" is nowhere to be seen 12) The second "Kmail folders" tree, the one with all my migrated sub-folders, now has a lot of messages in each of the folders Unlike the last attempt, my computer is not bogged down, but top shows several migration processes running - they look like this: "8 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0.0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/1" there are a number of these running with different numbers after the slash Also, resulting from the command line invocation of the kmail-migrator command, I got tons of these: "/usr/bin/kmail-migrator(31365)" Soprano: "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownObject - No such object path '/org/soprano/Server'" Conclusion: things are looking up, but, there are still significant problems -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
