Questions about KDE4

2008-01-15 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi,

some people here obviously already tried it. I cannot (only one system without 
a CD writer) and have some questions:

First: is it possible to try it in something like VirtualBox?

The KDE people tell about lots of features but leave a lot unclear. Like 
Phonon can reroute audio in a central way. However, does that require that 
applications actually use Phonon for audio, then?

I am missing a overview over the state of applications: which ones are already 
KDE4 ready (completely, I mean) and which ones are hopelessly left behind and 
still at KDE3?

I can still run KDE3 applications on a KDE4 desktop but what happens to 
KDE3-desktop things like system sounds for such applications (arts is 
probably not staying around). Is dcop compatible with the new d-bus stuff?

Thanks

HS

Combine it with e.g. switchconf or netenv.

You could try running "obexftp -u" (as root). It will tell you if there is a 
supported USB device. If it finds one as root but not as your user, you have 
to play some udev magic.

What makes you think that your mobile phone exports the proper USB descriptor?
It is highly unlikely that USB mass-storage and UBS-OBEX (via CDC) are 
supported at the same time.

Is the GpgME/SMIME backend checked in the kmail settings (security -> crypto

It doesn't matter when you assign those keys: the X key symbol exists before 
and after that, only the mapping changes. This should work with a running 
xmms.

The following work just fine here. Be aware of the necessary file permissions:
$ cat .Xmodmap

keycode 176 = XF86AudioRaiseVolume

Try enabling SSLv2 and also "best compatibility" with the security assistant 
in the same dialog tab.
That helped me with cacert.org and if that helps, either a konqueror component 
is broken or you banks server.
Note that SSLv2 has security problems and should be avoided if possible.

So it's clear that your configuration may be wrong. Maybe IceDove uses a 
different port, does authentication (maybe even something sick like 
pop-before-smtp) or it's the message-id domain.
Also look at the output of both mails to check for differences.

A relay check in the smtp server can be configured to anything.

Also check that you are actually sending to the right smtp smarthost (View

Dunno but wouldn't be that hard to add if not present, it's just a few pppd

You can edit a pppd configuration with a graphical editor and use network

Just like most other distributions and in-kernel: ISDN is a border case, 
probably only widely used in Germany and not a widely used internet 
connection method anymore (speak: broadband connection).

Putting too much development time in _analog_ fax capabilities for ISDN is a 
dead end.
First, fax technology is not seeing any improvements, the successor ISDN-Fax 
has almost no users but much easier to handle. With the push of signing via 
signatures and computer pen interfaces, fax is essentially going away: send 
an e-mail instead or go and buy an AVM B1 card with none of those problems.

PEBKAC, I assume, because all needed packages already exist in Debian. Still,

I also use i810 and see this behaviour only when trying to restart the X 
server from within X. Going to a VT first and running "/etc/init.d/kdm 
restart" works, though. However, shutting down from within X works.

I also use the framebuffer to get a nice VT and I actually blame the crappy 
video output situation under linux for this.
Try without framebuffer, without DRI and without XVMC support and maybe that 
fixes it.

Ever wondered why program authors give you a place to report bugs to but web

It's getter better slowly but fixed DPI values in some operating systems do 
not really improve the situation (neither do the work-around that mozilla

KMilo is _NOT_ installed (that piece of crap doesn't work anyway).

All the keys are defined as global shortcuts for kmix but retrying to

"Die Tastenkombination "XF86AudioMute" ist bereits der

Möchten Sie die neue Zuordnung vornehmen?"

I'll translate:
"The shortcut combination "XF86AudioMute" is already assigned to the global

Reassign?"

Well, telling it to reassign has, you guess it, no effect at all. This sucks.
Where is "Toggle mute" defined? I cannot find it anywhere.

Did you relogin? On the top-right of the file-open dialog, there is the 
charset field, pretty much hidden. If you run in an UTF-8 locale, this will 
default to "utf-8".

Yeah, one of those packages that includes a stripped-down copy of a lib

knetworkmanager bug reporting

2006-09-22 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi,


I tried to report a bug with the option in knetworkmanager. Actually, a good 
idea because the web interface of bugs.kde.org has no usability at all (yes, 
it sucks and is a real pain).

However, the bug submission fails with SMTP error 553. I even agree to that 
result because it is not sent via kmail, thus not via my configured (in kmail 
only, not in kcontrol) SMTP server (requires SMTP/Auth).
This makes it somewhat useless.

But I doubt that this bug submission dialog is in knetworkmanager. Where 
should a bug about it be submitted to? What kde package is it part of?

I am sure which one it is but a special file in /proc or /sys will tell you if 
your drive supports the media change report. Without this, the whole thing 
cannot work and you have to unplug and replug the device for proper 
detection.

Some USB card readers also suffer from this.

With a recent reinstall, KDM did not have such a default. Unless your monitor 
is not removable from the card (e.g. a laptop), you should always give the 
DisplaySize option (in case that the monitor is off during start of X).

I agree. Especially on displays with a higher resolution, it gives you a small

The problem surely is badly programmed softeware. I recently saw what firefox 
does on a high resolution display (10" laptop): I was not amused. It just 
sucks, under Windows more than Linux but that is just relative to "needs more 
work", better than old Mozilla, though.
Some of it surely relates to wrong website programming. After all those years, 
they just don't get it :-(

And whatever you think of it: do not try this under Windows. It kind of works 
but is _really_ ugly and most programs fail to work correctly. I hope they 
get this fixed with Windows Vista, they have to catch up a lot.

Run "aptitude and go to help: read about the 'm' and 'M' and how to mark 
something as being installed as dependency for something else or not.
Go to the package 'kde' and do what you just learned.

It's not good to try to trick a utility that you use. Instead, use it like it

kdeprint depends kdelibs4c2a which depends on libcupsys2 (>= 1.1.23-1)

So it was built with an older cups version and the value of that string is 
probably determined at build time. Nonetheless, if cups-1.2 ist installed, it 
is used by kprinter (same library soname).

Actually not if you have a clean seperation between the different parts 
(model-view-controller comes to mind).
And lets not forget that GTK is the Gimp ToolKit.

But then there are thing like QString and other non-GUI stuff in both QT and 
GTK that make all of that somewhat impossible.

It cannot be related to network slowdown or other network related problem 
because stopping the loading and restarting it does not get any more data 
than the previous try. Trying firefox immediately shows the page, strange, 
isn't it?
I also had this on my routers page but that was name->ip lookup related.

I wonder if this is related to pipelining. If it is, why isn't it implemented 
in konqueror? Can't be that hard to do and if it makes the thing much faster, 
it would make it worth the effort.

Bad thing that firefox is not my favourite choice. I would never use it as 
main browser as the firefox developers do not seem to have any idea of good 
work flow (or it just does not fit my idea of it). And it's just ugly (ups, 
must be GTK-related).

kmail sometimes hangs after getting mail

2006-07-16 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi,

KMail shows really strange behaviour. I configured it to automatically get 
mail every 15 minutes.
Sometimes, this hangs at closing the connection (how the hell can a program 
hang here?). One might think that this action has a timeout. But no, there is 
none because only pressing the red buttoon helps (and who removed the global 
stop button?). This results immediately in getting mail again because 15 
minutes already passed.

Maybe the server is a bit broken but I don't care as it is not under my 
control. And the problem does not occur every time but only once in a while.

Any ideas about this?

Hi,

on lots of pages (eg. freebsd.org), konqueror is really slow like hanging at 
16 of 18 pictures for a long time (means: firefox get the _whole_ page during 
that time that konqueror waits).

Anything that can be done about it, like setting some timeout parameters to 
common sense values?
Why is the page not shown during load? This would at least give a better 
visual feedback. This would allow clicking on the next link instead of 
waiting for some d*** picture...

Do you know wxWidgets? It has a nice error message mode where many error 
messages are summarized in one window. And this is non-blocking (the best 
thing about it).

For the small right-corner approach for progress, it has some disadvantages:
- the show/hide state can only be changed when a progress is going on
- no overall progress (many servers) is shown

But that things that I can live with.
What I would like to see it an approach to port stuff from evolution to KDE, 
like stuff that's useful in companies (means: ability to fully use an 
Exchange server).

Against what? I don't even know what exactly crashes.
And I usually do not report stuff that probably happens to everyone out there. 
I have 3 machines with a running KDE and on every of them, something crashes 
on logout. Some have an installation that is not that old, others have a 
pretty aged installation.
It is wrong to assume that developers actually use the apps that they release?

For me, too, or some other random application.
How can I disable this f***ing crash handler. It gives no valuable information 
for non-dbg applications. I cannot show several events in the same window.

Just as KMail with its useless message, that the server connection failed: one 
dialog window for every connection that even blocks the rest of the app :-(

Here is a backtrace from such a logout crash:

You don't.

Did anyone with those problems try to reconfigure fontconfig and try some 
other combination. Obviously, KDE setting can get this right but it should be 
possible to set the default config to the same values.

With current X in testing (at least the last time I configured X), I always 
remove the forced setting of 75x75 dpi as this is non-sense. You mess up the 
meaning of font sizes by setting some fixed dpi value.

Via has vor DXS channels for hardware mixing that you also see in kmix (the

Simply set up alsa dmix and you are set (at least for alsa-capable

And you also read the messages that pop up on the first start of kbluetoothd?
I guess that you didn't as it tells you to set
  pin_helper /usr/lib/kdebluetooth/kbluepin;
in /etc/bluetooth/hcid.conf (do not forget to restart hcid after that!)

There are also other pin helpers, some even work with dbus, but the above is a

Since amarok, there not much that can compete with it. Music starts playing

However, for one-time playing of streams, etc., kaffeine is quite usable.

I like the new config style better. Additionally, you can still enable a 
multi-home style by specifying wpa-conf and bring the network interface up.
Just read /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes

I have a fixed WLAN at home and the new config fits this case perfectly (and I

This does not even work with kaffeine here:

Any ideas?

And Kaboodle is not much for videos, anyway, I guess, but rather music. And it 
is not associated with anything, here.
But maybe I misinterpret the integrated konqueror media player with kaboodle? 
In earlier KDE version, kaboodle was used for this, it still is?

I never tried as kaffeine automatically takes preference when installed.
Do you have a site at hand where I could try it out? I simply know none that 
plays audio with a handle. Additionally, it must not be a streaming format 
like realmedia and not a mms://-URL.
If you have such an URL, I'll try it ;)

Worked for me, so far. Just drag an MP3 file on it and it plays fine. 
Advantage is that the startup time is zero in contrast to kaffeine which

Maybe. There is not standard way for patching packages, maybe that should be 
changed so that it's possible to easily test an unpatch upstream software?

Same as above, just a different point of view.

That would be right for RC bugs but not most of the bugs in the Debian BTS.

Finding is _very_ easy with KDE :)
They use Bugzilla like many others, so that's no problem either.
The need to register for the KDE BTS is really bad but Konqueror can handle 
that nicely (you don't have to remember the login data).

Moreover, they insist that they use the latest version. Not a bad idea and if 
it is already fixed in a new version (or a working CVS), it is a good point 
to target the Debian BTS.

They may have good relations to upstream authors but maintainers may have 
better things to do than filing bugs for others.

sources, it is almost impossible for the Debian-Maintainer on all changes to 
close rather upstream related bugs.
What does he do then: he asks the only person that eventually reported it. 
That person says that is uses Debian stable only and does not want to test 
Debian stable.
So you want upstream bugs in the BTS closed after 2-3 years? Get real! Those 
requesting such non-sense are the same persons that complain about 
long-standing bugs in the BTS and that many bugs are left unanswered.

Upstreams does not look at the Debian BTS, so where's the gain? Additionally, 
KDE has a nice bug reporting built-in.

Someone could ask the debian-kde-qt team on debian-kde at lists.debian.org to

kaffeine is in stable and thus should stay in sid as upstream is still active, 
isn't it?
Procedure would be to contact the maintainer first and after a timeout to 
contact the Debian-QA-Team. They would orphane the package with a bug in the 
wnpp package and another Maintainer can step in (change the "O:" to "ITA:").
While that's going on, you can find a sponsor for doing an NMU (non-maintainer 
update).

You might want to start by asking the right list for such questions. This list

Either you downgrade libxft2 or you upgrade libfreetype6 to the version in 
unstable (despite the many grave bugs).

And can you try to write in a not so cryptic style? Maybe even a real

And how may Java have the slightest relation to KDE? (No, konqueror using it

They get reset to the default layout.
All customizations are gone

With the current KMail, hiding the d*** HMTL toolbar does not work, I manually 
have to edit .kde/share/config/kmailrc to achieve this (the setting simply 
did not get stored!).

kwallet not accessible after dbus restart

2006-02-13 Thread Hendrik Sattler
Hi,

can anyone else confirm this:
* open kwalletmanager and look if the wallet is visible
* close the window
* run as root: /etc/init.d/dbus restart
* open kwalletmanager and look if the wallet is visible

Here, it is now gone and no app (e.g. kmail) can access it anymore :-(

So: this breaks _any_(!) KDE session by just installing e.g. bluez-pin. GREAT!
This is probably due to incorrectly depending on environment variables for a 
system service, wrong approach I'd say.

But where shall I report this too? (What KDE application?)

This would be useless as the goal is to _keep_ the toolbars! They are reset to 
some default on every major upgrade.

Me too and this occurs every time. A complete reinstallation at one time (for 
other reasons) did not resolve this.
There are bugs that upstream does not really care about or sees this as 
intentional (I have a few at hand).
This behaviour probably has its pros (although I fail to see them).

Guess why udev replaces hotplug by now: hotplug kinda _was_ broken because it 
had e.g. some race conditions when using custom scripts (that's also why usb 
devices properly appear in /dev again with 2.6.15).
Why udev itself is sometimes wanted is another story (fixed device names is 
one, especially when using event devices in the input system).

So either this file is not needed by krita at all or krita then depends on 
digikam (for just this file)?
Why is there no freedesktop-mime package (or something like that), where all 
such files are in?

Yes, the X driver are the same for both, one compiled with the HAL, the other 
not. When I last worked with a G550, this was only needed for DVI (but you 
could work around that with the framebuffer) and there were no other 
advantages than that.

I strongly object to that. The debconf actually only cover the basics, even my
