Hiccups when switching focus between windows.

2011-10-07 Thread Gerrit Jan Baarda
Hello,

Whenever i change focus between windows the kde desktop seems to be 
unresponsive for a short, but very noticeable moment. I'd appreciate some help 
in diagnosing the issue more precisely, because currently I'm not sure which 
application is causing this phenomenon.

My observations:
- The hiccups only happen when switching focus, once the new window 
is in focus, they are gone.
- It doesn't matter what application the window belongs to.
- Switching desktop effects on or off does not have any effect.
- I tried starting with my .kde directory renamed, again no difference.
- When I switch to the xfce desktop and use the kde (or other) applications, 
this effect does not seem to be there. 
-When I run htop in a terminal I see a momentary spike up to 50% in processor 
activity during the focus switch. The spikes seem to be related to the X 
server, kwin or the application getting focus, they all momentarily show up on 
top of the process list. 
-If I do the same focus switch in xfce, no noticeable CPU spikes appear.

My system is up to date sid on an Intel i7/12Gb + NVIDIA propriety drivers 
with dual monitor (twinview).

How can I figure out which application is really causing this? Most likely 
candidates seem to be either X or kwin but I would like to know for sure.

Yours,
Gerrit Jan.

Re: INDI

Hello JD


  Lenny. Who is maintained this package?
 
  --
  With best regards, Alexander Wolf

 The maintainers for the INDI package are located to the right on this web
 page:

 http://packages.debian.org/lenny/indi

 I think Alexander was hoping to find maintainers for *current* indi. It
seems to be abandoned in debian with the change to KDE4.

There are ubuntu packages available (
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/libindi0 ) but there is no equivalent for
debian Squeeze/Sid.

Yours,

Gerrit Jan.

I found I could compile the sources on sourceforge for debian without much 
trouble on Sid, the upstream author provides ./debian build directories that 
only require minor changes to the ./debian/control file.

However I have not managed to build a version of kstars that actually uses 
libindi0, where the Devices... menu is available.

Background wallpaper settings dissappear between logins on second monitor.

2010-05-31 Thread Gerrit Jan Baarda
Hi,

I'm running Sid with kde 4.4.3 on a two monitor system with the  NVIDIA 
proprietary drivers in twinview mode (one big desktop 3840x1200).

The problem I notice is that after each login, the background image of the 
secondary display is being 'blanked' (i.e. it shows when kde is loading, but 
is then set to neutral light blue). If I click with the right mouse button and 
choose Desktop activity settings, and then just  click OK, the background is 
restored. 

Has anybody else noticed this behaviour?

Yours,
Gerrit Jan.

Re: Kstars hardware control in KDE 4.1 packages (some success!)

2008-08-08 Thread Gerrit Jan Baarda
Hi Sune,

Today i finally got around looking at the kstars problems again, and i found 
out that kstars does not create links to  indi_lx200generic. One of them  
should be a link called indi_lx200autostar. There is also an upstream 
bugreport about the same problem. ( see 
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168411 ). 

When I create this link manually, I can control my telescope.

The relevant part in the CMakeLists.txt is (i suppose) from line 211 to 220 as 
attached.

I'm still not sure if this is an upstream or a packageing problem. Note that 
the upstream bug report is from a kubuntu user, which is probably also based 
on the same debian packages.

Still  no success on the webcam issue though...

 patching the kstars dir and running make inside builddir, followed by
 fakeroot debian/rules binary  should build binary packages without
 cleaning everything up before.

Yes, this works fine, however now (with the sources in experimental as of 
today), the kdeedu package wont' build.  Everything seems fine during 
compilation but when creating the kalzium .deb it fails with:

~/Debs/kdeedu-4.1.0$ fakeroot debian/rules binary

 lots of output skipped ...
.
dh_shlibdeps -pkalgebra
dh_installdeb -pkalzium
dh_perl -pkalzium
dh_shlibdeps -pkalzium
dpkg-shlibdeps: failure: couldn't find library libcompoundviewer.so.4 needed by 
debian/kalzium/usr/bin/kalzium (its RPATH is '').
Note: libraries are not searched in other binary packages that do not have any 
shlibs or symbols file.
To help dpkg-shlibdeps find private libraries, you might need to set 
LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
dh_shlibdeps: command returned error code 512
make: *** [binary-predeb-IMPL/kalzium] Fout 1

I checked and libcompoundviewer.so.4 *has* actually been build in 
./obj-i486-linux-gnu/lib/libcompoundviewer.so.4 
and also 
./debian/tmp/usr/lib/libcompoundviewer.so.4

so it looks like there is some sort of path problem. 

What can I do to fix this?

Yours,
Gerrit Jan.

 At least (parts) of the indi stuff gets built and installed during the
 packaging.  I don't have any ways to test it myself (I think).

 But it could be all three of it. Unfortunately, debugging is much up to
 you (or other interested peoples), but if you track it down to 2)

I downloaded the kdeedu source package and I noticed there was a patch in the 
'/debian/patches' directory with  the name 'disable_indi' it contains:


--- a/kstars/kstars/CMakeLists.txt
+++ b/kstars/kstars/CMakeLists.txt

 add_subdirectory( skycomponents )
 add_subdirectory( widgets )
-add_subdirectory( indi )
 add_subdirectory( tools )
 add_subdirectory( data )
 add_subdirectory( icons )

Also I noticed 'series' which says:

#disable_indi
97_fix_target_link_libraries.diff

Am I right in concluding that the current version of kdeedu is not supposed to 
contain a working indi? 
 
 will like to help getting fixed packages available asap.

I compiled kdeedu with the 'disable_indi' file removed, this compiled fine, but 
installing the new packages gave no improvement. 

Yours,
Gerrit Jan.

Off topic:
I'm not very familiar with debian packageing, is there a quick way to just 
build kstars instead of the whole of kdeedu?

Kstars hardware control in KDE 4.1 packages.

2008-07-24 Thread Gerrit Jan baarda
Hi there,

Does anyone know what the status of the experimental KDE4.1 packages is with 
regards to kstars (indi) telescope hardware control? 

I recently installed KDE 4.1 from experimental and I wanted to use kstars to 
control my telescope. This used to work fine in the 3.5.x series.

With the kstars/indi (4:4.0.98-1) in KDE 4.1RC as available in experimental 
today I cannot get any hardware to work. Kstars hangs when searching for the 
serial interface telescope wizzard. Also my web cam does not show up in the 
Indi device list, it used to be under the video capture devices, but now no 
capture devices show up at all. 

I have looked in the upstream developers list archives and I haven't found 
similar problems mentioned there, so it could be:

1. Me doing something stupid :)
2. A problem with the current debian package.
3. An upstream problem that is not been flagged up to the upstream developers.

I would like to see kstars working again so I would appreciate some help 
here... 

Gerrit Jan.

However Kstars (used to..) let me control hardware much better and also has a

2006-07-28 Thread Gerrit Jan Baarda
Hmm

I tried creating a fresh user account and logged in as this user. For this 
user there is the same effect. No problems with firefox and other programs, 
but konqueror cannot connect with http{s} to any local IP addres.

However when I use another protocol, such as ftp://192.168.xx.xx or 
fish://  i CAN connect with konqueror. 

Since this is a fresh account, KDE and konqueror should have started with 
their default settings, right? Is there some global default KDE setting that 
can cause http(s) requests to local LAN addresses to fail?

Konqueror cannot connect to local LAN IP address, firefox (and others) can

2006-07-27 Thread Gerrit Jan Baarda
Hi all,

I have a strange problem on my notebook running unstable. For some time, I 
cannot access my router web interfaces with konqueror, it complains cannot 
connect to 192.168.xx.xx when I enter an URL https://192.168.xx.xx in the 
location box. 

The strange thing is that firefox or other programs on the notebook don't have 
any problem accessing the router. On my desktop computer (also running 
unstable) konqueror also has no problems. 

I've been going through all of konqueror's and KDE's settings but have not 
succeeded in fixing the problem. While googling I found some references about 
KDE/konqueror defaulting to IPV6, but I have already disabled IPV6 on all my 
PC's.

I feel I'm missing something really stupid. Can anyone give me some clues 
about what's happening here? 


Yours,
Gerrit Jan.

That shouldn't  be neccesary, is it? To me that sounds very similar to 'Just

koncd or other cd burning software for KDE 3.0.x

2002-07-30 Thread Gerrit Jan Baarda
Hi,

I recently installed unofficial KDE 3.0.2. I found out later that there is no 
CD burning software anymore. I used to use  kreatecd but that has, as I 
understand it, been replaced by koncd for KDE 3.0.x. 

Koncd is part of  the official kde-multimedia sources but there is no koncd 
.deb. Is there any particular reason why it is not in the unofficial .debs?
