Bug#584905: plasma-netbook not auto-starting on a fresh install
Hi, I experienced this bug on a fresh squeeze install (2 days ago). Removing the Hidden=true from plasma-netbook.desktop (as introduced by the kubuntu-patch?) seems to help and the netbook shell comes up on every start after this change. I am not sure that this is the correct way to solve this, as I haven't tested what happens with plasma-desktop and -netbook installed. Are both started if none is hidden? It might be better to try fixing the kcm module, as aseigo pointed out that an unselected plasma-shell should have Hidden=true. (The drop-down list for the workspace form-factor is systemsettings is disabled for me though.) Sten -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#584905: plasma-netbook not auto-starting on a fresh install isn't fixed
Hi! Sorry, but it seems that the bug plasma-netbook not auto-starting on a fresh install isn't fixed: Yesterday I've installed a fresh Squeeze from http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/iso-dvd/ (20-Sep-2010 06:12). Packages during installation: Desktop environment Standard Laptop after the first boot aptitude install kde-plasma-netbook Reboot and first login with KDM shows me the KDE-Splash, the first four Icons glows up and after this I see a black screen with mouse-courser. I have to open a command line with ALT + F2, type and send plasma-netbook and kde-plasma-netbook starts. But autostart for kde-plasma-netbook don't work, tried a lot of times. Would you please re-check the meta-package kde-plasma-netbook? If you need more Information about my installation, I subscribed this bug-list, just let me know.

There is a kcm that can control which plasma starts when both plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook are installed without reference to autostart files. The upstream design for 4.4 worked fine if both or just desktop were installed, but didn't consider the netbook only case for first run. The autostart file is a work around for the hole in the design. Scott K P.S.

I am still not convinced about why this patch solves the problem. There is a kcm that can control which plasma starts when both plasma-desktop and plasma-netbook are installed without reference to autostart files. The upstream design for 4.4 worked fine if both or just desktop were installed, but didn't consider the netbook only case for first run. The autostart file is a work around for the hole in the design. Scott K P.S.

plasma-netbook not auto-starting on a fresh install
Hi list, I hope posting this here is appropriate. I just got myself a new Eee PC recently and installed Debian on it. I decided I'd give plasma-netbook a try, so I installed that package, rather than plasma-desktop, along with the rest of a typical workspace (kde-standard and several others). I quite like using plasma-netbook, but the problem is that it never starts automatically when I log in. I always have to alt-F2 and use krunner to launch it. Google found me a couple of work-arounds that will probably do the job, but I'm not sure what the correct approach is. It ought to start on its own, right? It's basically a fresh install, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Anyone with similar experience, or know what I should do in this situation? Peace, Brendon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Try going to systemsettings-Desktop-Workspace and make sure it says Form factor: Netbook. Maybe it doesn't correctly detect the absence of plasma-desktop and tries to launch it instead of launching plasma-netbook.

Hi George George Kiagiadakis wrote (2010-06-06 23:12): Try going to systemsettings-Desktop-Workspace and make sure it says Form factor: Netbook. I had a look at that. The options were grayed-out and disabled, but it did say Netbook. Maybe it doesn't correctly detect the absence of plasma-desktop and tries to launch it instead of launching plasma-netbook. Possible, I guess. Would there be a way to tell if this was the case? Sounds like a bug. That's my suspicion, too. The next question is, is it a bug that has anything to do with the packaging, or is it an upstream bug?
