unblock: a bunch of KDE SC packages
Package: release.debian.org Severity: normal User: release.debian@packages.debian.org Usertags: freeze-exception Hello, I have recently made a series of uploads for fixing issues in KDE SC and I would like to get those package revisions into Squeeze. First of all, thanks for quick unblock of the following: kdebase-workspace/4:4.4.5-5 koffice/1:2.2.1-4 Now remaining packages: * unblock kdenetwork/4:4.4.5-2 This revision fixes an RC bug (#603661) which breaks kopete ICQ support for all users. AOL has recently sold ICQ and, as a result, ICQ main login server address was changed. The fix is trivial: change ICQ server address in kopete to the new one. The patch also includes an standard KDE update script for changing the address in the user config file (if present). The upload also solves circular dependency between kopete and libkopete4. This might ease a job for apt and friends during upgrades (#580044). * unblock kdepimlibs/4:4.4.5-2 While the debian bug is of normal severity (#600907), the issue might have more severe implications. After all it's a crash and memory management bug which typically are a cause of security problems. Anyway, in my opinion, the two-line patch is too trivial to be ignored. * unblock kdeaccessibility/4:4.4.5-2 When I looked at the upstream code of kttsd, I could only bang my head against the wall. Yes, it is that bad and it's beyond me how KDE project could release kttsd in that state to the users. It turns out kttsd 4.3 was just fine but they decided to port it to speech-dispacher. Rather than doing it properly, they only merged a somewhat working KTTS daemon back, commented most of configuration code out and released kttsd 4.4 in this ridiculous state leaving many configuration core and GUI elements not working. Obviously, this is not on par with expectations for Debian stable release and #599825 describes only a small fraction of problems. I considered removing kttsd from archive but it's pretty tightly integrated into KDE and it's pretty important for accessibility purposes. So in 4:4.4.5-2 you see what I had to do to restore KTTS configuration to a usable state. Patches are relatively huge, but they mostly add new or uncomment old GUI related code. Trust me, there is no other way to do this. In hope that my efforts were not wasted, I ask for unblock for this revision. P.S. This leaves Debian Qt/KDE team with two RC bugs (#582953 and #590147) on kdepim which in my opinion date as old as Debian etch. Their real cause is not known and hopes for getting them fixed are low after so many years. What is more, they are rare. -- Modestas Vainius mo...@debian.org signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

Bug#605930: okular: Focus should be consistent with user's WM choice
Package: okular Version: 4:4.4.5-2 Severity: wishlist In Unix, all window managers allow you to choose something like focus under mouse vs. click to focus. Okular (and any number of other programs) seems always to use click to focus to select between e.g. the navigation frame and the document frame. This leads to surprises when a habituated user clicks in the TOC to go to a section within a document, then moves the mouse to the document and starts pressing PgDown to scroll. I suppose the right way to do this would probably be to ask the window manager for the user's preference, but AFAIK there's no window manager standard for exporting this feature. Would it be possible to add to Okular one of the following? 1) Ask whether a couple of the most popular window managers are running, and if it's one you recognise, use its focus preference, and if it's not, go on to (2)? 2) Add the option in Settings? Omega) Develop a standard that would let window managers export this information. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages okular depends on: ii kdebase-runtime 4:4.4.5-1runtime components from the offici ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libfreetype62.4.2-2.1FreeType 2 font engine, shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.5-9GCC support library ii libjpeg62 6b1-1The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libkdecore5 4:4.4.5-2the KDE Platform Core Library ii libkdeui5 4:4.4.5-2the KDE Platform User Interface Li ii libkio5 4:4.4.5-2the Network-enabled File Managemen ii libkparts4 4:4.4.5-2the Framework for the KDE Platform ii libkpty44:4.4.5-2the Pseudo Terminal Library for th ii libkutils4 4:4.4.5-2various utility classes for the KD ii libokularcore1 4:4.4.5-2libraries for the Okular document ii libphonon4 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 the core library of the Phonon mul ii libpoppler-qt4-30.12.4-1.2 PDF rendering library (Qt 4 based ii libqca2 2.0.2-1 libraries for the Qt Cryptographic ii libqimageblitz4 1:0.0.6-2QImageBlitz image effects library ii libqt4-dbus 4:4.6.3-4Qt 4 D-Bus module ii libqt4-svg 4:4.6.3-4Qt 4 SVG module ii libqt4-xml 4:4.6.3-4Qt 4 XML module ii libqtcore4 4:4.6.3-4Qt 4 core module ii libqtgui4 4:4.6.3-4Qt 4 GUI module ii libspectre1 0.2.6-1 Library for rendering PostScript d ii libstdc++6 4.4.5-9 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii phonon 4:4.6.0really4.4.2-1 metapackage for the Phonon multime ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.4.dfsg-3 compression library - runtime okular recommends no packages.

Unknown strange processes with KDE
Hi! Ever since the first KDE 4 version for Debian, and the KDE versions from qt- kde.debian.net, I have had problems with strange unknown processes that starts now and then, usually daily, and use about 50 to 60 percent of my two processors power and make them run hot. I got a hardware monitor applet telling so I clearly see it every time it starts. You can see a screenshot of Ksysguard here http://www.gotlandsbilden.se/bild/Unknown_processes.png (the language is Swedish). On the screenshot you see 3 processes that has the user name root, -1. The use of processor power is showed unknown for two of them. For the other there seems noting. I have seen up to seven of this unknown processes. They start and die and change pid number very fast. Yesterday I was able to kill them then I run Ksysguard as root. But usually I could not kill them even if I run Ksysguard as root. Then I got a error message that tell that I couldn’t kill the process as root. Then I use top, ps or ps auxf to see the system processes I can't see them at all. Isn't that strange? The unknown processes belongs to KDE. I have had clean installs of Gnome, XFCE 4 and KDE on different partitions and the unknown processes only appear in the KDE system. OK they can be connected to some other application but then they only appear with KDE. Now I installed a brand new Debian Sid and immediately upgraded KDE to the KDE 4.5.3 from qt-kde.debian.net. And the processes is there. Right now I realized for the first time that the same problem appear even with my portable computer. And I couldn't kill them running Ksysguard as root... It's very annoying having to restart the computers now and them because of this. Any clues? Any clue?
