I would never even have thought of looking in /tmp as that is often set to be

which should be user-specific makes little sense.
How about looking where it logically should be, namely ~/.bash-history ?
Seems to be a conflation with the user-input shell history and the scrollback

I think original request was for the scrollback history. Here's how to get
that info...
(ins)sdowdy@carrotcake$ pstree -Alpsa $$
systemd,1
`-konsole,23071 --separate
`-bash,5456
`-pstree,6513 -Alpsa 5456
so, our parenting konsole for this shell is PID 23071, check the open files
with 'lsof'...

If i go into the Settings:

"No scrollback"
then check again:
(ins)sdowdy@carrotcake$ lsof -p 23071 | awk '$NF~/konsole.*\.history$/{print
$NF}'
(ins)sdowdy@carrotcake$
as expected (no more scrollback history files).
Note that this directory is ${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR} (part of FreeDesktop aka XDG)
which is where applications are supposed to keep their runtime non-persistent

It defaults to (on my system) /run/user/{uid} (user id)

I've tried to use the Colours settings in the System Settings to change the

For most of the colour settings I can't tell what they affect, and there

I wonder if CUPS (if it is involved in this process), is doing a live query of
the printer via IPP (or other) and the printer itself is configured to default
to A4 paper?
Something like:

attributes-charset (charset) = utf-8

you might use 'localhost' or try the printer directly with a URI like

There's a lot of "cut/paste" mechanisms in play.
X11 has a Primary and Secondary buffer, but there's also a Clipboard.
selecting text via mouse in something like xterm puts that text into the
Primary buffer.
Using CTRL-C/V uses the Clipboard. (this is all generalizations).
You can use a tool like 'xsel' or 'xclip' to manipulate all three of those
buffers:
To see what's in each buffer:
for buf in primary secondary clipboard; do printf "\n[${buf}]\n"; xsel -o
--${buf} ; done; printf "\n"
'xclipboard' monitors and caches clipboard content as applications store stuff
there, so you can recall previous versions.
(it's got some scrolling display issues, so you might have to move the cursor
around to see things well)
Conceptually, i like klipper, because it allows actions to be defined.
This allows me to almost emulate what CDE (Common Desktop Environment) used to
have which was the Deskset Tools text-menu stuff (a file you could configure to
hold a hierarchy of named transformation actions). I used that to {in,out}dent
selections 4 chars, Uppercase/LowerCase selections, Reflow text in a buffer,
etc.
However, in practice, Klipper, especially in KDE Plasma 5 has been
"problematical" for me. I tend to use the standalone klipper application and
turn off the plasma builtin one.
But, yesterday, i ran into *thunderbird* no longer being able to operate on the
selection or clipboard buffers (i thought it was klipper acting up).
Restarting thunderbird fixed that problem.
Klipper has an option to "synchronize" the clipboard with the primary
selection. sometimes this also causes grief. You may want to check that if
you have klipper enabled. (it may be messing with you)

Task manager window grouping failures and KWin window-action slowness
I have LOTS of windows, and while task manager window grouping in KDE4 started off pretty bad early on, it got better for me. In Debian Jessie, i would have issues running 3 different firefox profiles with differing Class Instance names, where it would still *usually* correctly separately group them, but sometimes draw the incorrect icon for them. Now, in Debian Stretch, the icon managers are *TERRIBLE* at grouping my firefox windows. I have *hundreds* of firefox windows, and i'm lucky if task manager manages to make 1 or 2 groups of a few tens or dozens, and then ALL of the rest become individual task manager icons. (race condition?) I prefer using Icon-only Task Manager with "Show Launcher when not running" (though, interestingly, in Icon-only mode, there's not "Group Windows" setting button) I have tried switching "Alternatives" hoping that doing so would issue a "regroup" operation, but it seems that the grouping algorithm is done one-time at window creation in some common code? Is there any way to FORCE the code to re-evaluate grouping? Or, is this bug fixed in subsequent Plasma or KDE Frameworks (or whatever component) releases? Additionally, i like to set window-action for double-click title bar to "lower". with many windows, it can sometimes take 30 seconds for the action to complete. it sits there doing nothing, and i don't know for sure if it's that i keep hammering at it, or i move the mouse and click in different windows, then hammer on it some more, but it eventually will do a lower. (it's not ALWAYS that slow). Sounds to me like some code branch goes off to evaluate something and gets all caught up in some operations that don't scale very well to hundreds/thousands of windows). These are regressions from behaviors that USED to be fine (mostly in KDE3 where on a much less substantial machine than what i have now, i never had any issues of unresponsiveness. yes, Firefox has had a role in creating unresponsiveness), but in jumping from Debian Jessie to Stretch, i'm finding a lot of little issues in Plasma5 that i do NOT want to throw at my users yet, and am being forced to evaluate alternative DEs. (SDDM is god awful slow and the cursor can take tens of seconds to show up sometimes, KDE session initialization takes much longer than KDE4, race conditions can cause context bubble windows to get permanently stuck on the plasma-desktop, etc.) [VersionInfo] Qt: 5.7.1 KDE Frameworks: 5.28.0 plasmashell: 5.8.6 thanks, --stephen

BASH is a superset of POSIX. pretty much anything that's POSIX shell

Re: Klipper - snippets
Michael,
I don't know the current state of KDE applications, but at least on Debian
Stable, there's a plasma applet called 'paste' that lets you paste
snippets. It provides a few builtin macro expansions for stuff like
%{date()}
%{exec(netstat -plant)}
%{file(file:///etc/motd)}
%{password(16, true, true, true, true)}
%{time()}
Note: doesn't appear that 'date()/time()' takes an argument (e.g.
%{date(yesterday)}, just returns current, but as long as you have exec()
you can do anything.
If you click a snippet, it inserts into the clipboard, then you can paste,
You have to double-click to auto-paste.
You could leverage the klipper Actions to do something similar, though it
would be a bit more "hackish".
Setup a regular expression like @K -- If you type, then double click that,
and have automatic enabled (or, alternatively, if you use
to invoke manual klipper actions popupmenu), you would have a popup menu
with all your commands that could be things like:
Command=echo FLIMFLAM
Output Handling=Replace Clipboard
(organize as many commands that echo what you want under a single klipper
action)
then you'd just have to paste. I don't see a way in klipper to auto-paste
Also, you can use 'khotkeys' to create a global shortcut that performs
keyboard input. (but you'd likely run out of keyboard combos, or forget
them.) also, i think khotkeys was destined for deprecation?
probably many other solutions. (i recall a very simple Xt X11 application
from many years ago that did similar things)

The patch for this is being put through the Debian security channels and should be out soon? I don't know what the patch will entail to fix broken USER copies (!/. local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf) automatically, and maybe it won't, so see below for a quick command to fix the files in question to work with the new version of MySQL. before running this command, you may want to make a copy of either of these files first. The 'sed' below will try to save a copy with the suffix '.bak', but if you run the command twice and something goes wrong, you'll overwrite the .bak again with what could be a mangled edit. - To fix at the system level, use the following 'sed' inline script: sed -i.bak -e '/^\[client\]/isecure_file_priv=\n\n' /etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf To fix for an individual user: (you'll likely have to do this for all users, as it appears akonadi creates this file the first time it starts for a user by copying from /etc/akonadi/mysql-global.conf. It likely never checks that file again, unless the user's copy of it gets deleted) sed -i.bak -e '/^\[client\]/isecure_file_priv=\n\n' ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf - What this does is include the directive "secure_file_priv=" right before the "[client]" section of the file. (MySQL uses a standard "INI" style configuration file of the form [SECTION] directive=value ... So, you have to get the 'secure_file_priv' directive in the right section. If you have heavily edited that file, it might not work, and you'd have to do it manually. Please see the example: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=843534#55 It may be most helpful after updating your files to logout and login again (rather than trying to manually start akonadi up) Good Luck. --stephen On Mon, Nov 14, 2016 at 10:23 PM, John White, Jr. <white...@aol.com> wrote: > I run a small business and use kmail Today it just quit, saying that > akonadi won't start.

(something like firefox' web developer "Inspect" would be awesome)
I grabbed a copy of XnView's stylesheet file: "XnView/UI/style_sheet.qss"
to start with. using it unchanged renders kdialog with a nice black
background,
but not monospaced, of course.
That's probably the best way to handle kdialog's failings in other areas.
There's also a Style "Theme" (--style). I guess i have to look into this
stuff more.
(this is more like the older X AppDefaults configurations to style X11

Kevin,
Great stuff, exactly what i was looking for.
'strace' reveals no default search for .qss files (at least in
'kdialog').
So, is there a way to create a user stylesheet that all Qt apps will
reference? One that can be obtained via Environment Variable or perhaps
an entry (or several) in Trolltech.conf?
( adding a key "style=windows" to the INI group "[Qt]" in Trolltech.conf
will do the same (i think) as setting your KDE default Qt Widget style, but
it'd be nice to have a stylesheet key, which i can't find reference for)
QT_STYLE_OVERRIDE="windows" kdialog --msgbox "$(lsblk)"
doesn't seem to work, so maybe that's a Qt5 only thing (kdialog --style
"windows", however, does work as expected)
If so, one could create a "userStyle.qss" that had stuff like:
KDialog > QWidget > QLabel {
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 16;
background-color: rgb(40,40,40);
color:rgb(220,220,220);
}
which, theoretically should only apply to KDialog (executable, or i think
there's an API?)
(unfortunately, the labels in KDialog don't have class/id AFAICT, so you
hit all of them)
But having one place to tweak styles would be useful.
I suppose this is getting low-level enough that reliance from one release
to another might get "iffy".

Dunno how 4.10 all works, but if you have libpaper pkg installed, the
system default papersize is stored in /etc/papersize.
You can get the value that'll be used with:
echo ${PAPERSIZE:-$(cat ${PAPERCONF:-/etc/papersize})}
It could be other things setting this value, so you might do:
find .config/ .local/ .kde/ -xdev -type f -exec grep -i -e paper -e a4
{} + 21 | less
might be CUPS, so doing:
lpoptions | tr ' ' '\n' | grep -i -e letter -e a4 -e paper -e size
would tell you if any of those strings were configured in CUPS default
options for your printer. (i don't offhand happen to know if CUPS
supports such a setting and what its name would be, but it seems
likely). Actually, it looks like:
lpoptions -l | grep -i -e size
Since you specifically say PDF, i'm wondering if that's a CUPS thing.
You may have a CUPS print to PDF printer?
lpstat -a | grep -i pdf
Or this could be inside konqueror.
I know that when KDE when v 4.x the default Qt printing margins were
stuck and could not be defaulted, resulting in having to change them
every single time (guh!) but the defaults were like 0.17 or 0.35 or
something.
Good luck.

/etc/xdg would be nice, but it's not in the default XDG_DATA_DIRS path.

Is that path that will be used. I choose to use
/usr/local/share/applications, as it's NFS mounted to all
(most) user systems in my environment. I'm not sure of the
best/recommended way to modify this path via scripts/config at KDE
startup time, but 'startkde' does this:
# Make sure that D-Bus is running
if test -z $XDG_DATA_DIRS; then
XDG_DATA_DIRS=`kde4-config --prefix`/share:/usr/share:/usr/local/share
export XDG_DATA_DIRS
fi
i.e. it looks hardcoded w/o a good site-specific way to add to it).
If you edit startkde to prepend /etc/xdg/share/ (which to me is
totally obvious, and i was surprised it wasn't there), then prepare
for it to get borked on KDE application package updates...
You can get XDG values via this script snippet, as well:
echo [XDG Environment]
while read var default; do
printf %24s = %s\n ${var} $(eval echo \${$var-${default}\(\*\)})

XDG_DATA_HOME ${HOME}/.local/share

Is there a way to make drag to top of screen mean *only* drag to top of

Felix,
Here's the FAQ entry i put together for my users on ElectricBorders
Note that this is directed at users for individual control, however, you can
put these
kwriteconfig entries against a GLOBAL 'kwinrc' file.
for my system the KDE4 config search path is:
dowdy@neptune$ kde4-config --path config
/home/dowdy/.kde/share/config/:/etc/kde4/:/usr/share/kde4/config/:/usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/kde-profile/share/config/
So, if you put these entries into /etc/kde4/kwinrc or
/usr/share/kde4/config/kwinrc or
/usr/share/desktop-base/profiles/kde-profile/share/config/kwinrc
It should affect all users, UNLESS they have overrides in their personal
~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc
--stephen

Q: When i move a window and hit the screen edge the window maximizes and this
gets very frustrating.
A: This is like the Windows 7 Aero desktop edge bumping. It's called
ElectricBorders in KDE4.
There are two Aero-like settings, one for when you hit the top edge of the
screen, called:
Maximize windows by dragging them to the top of the screen
The other allows you to tile two windows filling the screen, each taking half
the screen. This is called:
Tile windows by dragging them to the side of the screen
To change the settings...
To open the GUI interface to 'kwinscreenedges', do either:
CLI:kcmshell4 kwinscreenedges
UI: System Settings-Desktop-Screen Edges
Disabling: Maximize windows by dragging them to the top of the screen
(do one of these)
UI: System Settings-Desktop-Screen Edges-Window-Management-Maximize
windows by dragging them to the top of the screen
CLI:kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows --key
ElectricBorderMaximize false
Disabling: Tile windows by dragging them to the side of the screen
(do one of these)
UI: System Settings-Desktop-Screen Edges-Window-Management-Tile
windows by dragging them to the side of the screen
CLI:kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows --key
ElectricBorderTiling false
Additionally, there are other window edge hot actions available for each of the
8 screen corners and edges when simply bumping the mouse (not moving a window)
against that corner or edge.
Switch desktop on edge: Disabled
CLI:kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows --key ElectricBorders 0
Switch desktop on edge: Only When Moving Windows
CLI:kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows --key ElectricBorders 1
Switch desktop on edge: Always Enabled
CLI:kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Windows --key ElectricBorders 2
For example, to set the topleft corner to Show Dashboard
CLI:kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group ElectricBorders --key TopLeft
Dashboard
For example, to set the bottomleft corner to Show Desktop
CLI:kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group ElectricBorders --key BottomLeft
ShowDesktop
To disable all the corner and edge electric borders, use this POSIX Shell code:
for spot in Bottom BottomLeft BottomRight Left Right Top TopLeft TopRight;
do
kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group ElectricBorders --key ${spot} None
done
FYI: Border enums:
0 Top Center
1 Top Right
2 Right Center
3 Bottom Right
4 Bottom Center
5 Bottom Left
6 Left Center
7 Top Left
8 ???
9 NONE

Re: [kde] term config prolem
Gene Heskett wrote, On 07/22/2013 12:29 PM:
For instance, I do software for a legacy machine, and need at least 100k
lines of history I can scroll back through looking for build errors. With
a 1000 line default limit, 99% of a nitros9 build scrolls out of the buffer
forever. I have 8Gb of ram, so there's little excuse for such a style
cramping limit.
IIRC, konsole uses memory upto a certain point for scrollback, but
uses /tmp file-on-disk after that. (definitely if you select unlimited scroll.
(e.g. lsof shows:
konsole 3877 dowdy 86u REG 254,6 896364 80
/tmp/kde-dowdy/konsolecr3877.tmp
(about 20 or so such lines, probably one per TAB)
if i switch from 1,000 fixed lines to unlimited (no tmpfiles open before)
For every character, i think (IIRC) konsole used about 3 bytes of disk space
(to hold
display attributes and the like)
For 1,000 lines at 80char/line that'd be about 1/4MB
for 100K lines that'd be about 25MB. that's still not tremendous,
but if you have lots of terms and especially unlimited scrollback
and a small /tmp, you could run into trouble.
I've seen some users with unlimited scrolling taking minutes to
scroll back to the beginning if they failed to regularly logout.
(these are folks that stay logged in for months at a time :-( )
So, not sure if Konsole honors ${TMPDIR} or not, but i'm guessing that these
are opened referential to kde path tmp
$ kde4-config --path tmp
/tmp/kde-dowdy/
so, you might need to change kde4-config to point to SharedMem by setting
KDETMP and/or TMPDIR via something like:
tmpfs_dir=${tmpfs_dir:-/dev/shm}
TMPDIR=$(mktemp -d ${tmpfs_dir}/${USER}.$(date +%Y-%m-%d).) \
|| { echo failed to make temp directory, aborting ; exit 1 ;}
readonly TMPDIR
export TMPDIR
export KDETMP=${TMPDIR}
in a KDE Autostart directory script (or dotfile, or...)
prior to starting any konsole (multithreaded, so the first you start will
take precedent)
I'm just *this* far from replacing 'konsole' with a symlink to xfce Terminal,
(xfce4-terminal on Debian Wheezy)
which has many of the same features, but none of the misfeatures/bugs of
konsole.
(at least that i've found yet) (well, VTE, the engine xfce4-terminal uses does
use /tmp/vte* for scrollback buffering, even at 1,000 lines, or even 80, but
at least when you cut/paste, you get what you see, not a bunch of blanks at
the end of the line most of the time)

That limits its usefulness.

Output=1
Action 1 has NO Regexp, but has 5 commands you can invoke
on arbitrary text.
The first dumps the context of the current selection buffer (xclip -o)
and runs it via 'sed' to insert 4 spaces at the front of every line.
It Replaces the contents of the selection buffer (Output=1) with the
STDOUT of that command. the second command uppercases everything,
the 3rd trims spaces off Konsole's EXCRUTIATINGLY PAINFUL and
PERSISTENT BUG of padding extra spaces on the end of lines (yes,
i'm aware of the hackaround in 4.10+ of remove all spaces from
line endings, but i'm still on 4.8.4, etc...)
The last two use 'par' to reflow to 68 or 78 characters / line with a
hanging indent of 1.
You can also have something like:
[Action_3]
Automatic=false
Description=Generated Content
Number of commands=1
Regexp=
[Action_3/Command_0]
Commandline[$e]=pwgen -1 16
Description=Generate 16char random password
Enabled=true
Icon=
Output=1
This doesn't even use the selection buffer contents initially,
but creates a random 16-char password you can PASTE somewhere ;)

I'm going to spew some stuff that is probably 90+% true, and may not
necessarily be the best way to determine this stuff, but hopefully
is at least useful.
/kde/share/config/kdedrc
[Module-bluedevil]
autoload=false
...
kded is the KDE Daemon,
http://api.kde.org/4.0-api/kdelibs-apidocs/kded/html/index.html
each of these Module-* group identifiers represent a service
adjunct daemon that 'kded' is responsible for starting. In the
cases you reference, the 'autoload' key is being set to false,
indicating that 'kded' won't start those auxiliary processes.
(presumably to reduce startup times, memory consumption, additional
opportunities for bugs to bork your session...)
You can get *some* idea of what the currently loaded kded modules
do by this dbus call loop:
# figure out where the KDE4 system services directory *probably* is
d=$(kde4-config --path services); d=${d##*:};
** i reference value of '${d}' in other examples below...
# get each loadedModule from 'kded'
for module in $(qdbus org.kde.kded /kded loadedModules)
#look in the associate service .desktop for a comment
do printf %32s - %s\n $module $(grep '^Comment='
${d}/kded/${module}.desktop | sed -e 's/^Comment=//')
done
e.g.:
networkstatus - Tracks status of network interfaces and
provides notification to applications using the network.
remotedirnotify - Provides change notification for network
folders
soliduiserver - Provides a user interface for hardware events
powerdevil - Battery, Display and CPU power management
and notification
or get them all with:
for dt in ${d}/kded/*.desktop; do \
printf %32s - %s\n $(basename ${dt} .desktop) \
$(sed -ne '/^Comment=/{s/^Comment=//;p}' ${dt}); done
or, 'man kded4' seems to have much of this as well.
As for the 'krunnerrc' [Plugins] group, same sort of deal:
/kde/share/config/krunnerrc
[Plugins]
PowerDevilEnabled=false
bookmarksEnabled=false
...
windowsEnabled=false
services files with X-KDE-ServiceTypes=Plasma/Runner are the
plugins listed above.
The configuration key: X-KDE-PluginInfo-EnabledByDefault defines if that
plugin
is enabled or not.
$ for dt in $(grep -l X-KDE-ServiceTypes=Plasma/Runner $d/*.desktop); do
t=$(basename ${dt} .desktop); printf %32s - %s\n ${t} $(sed -ne
'/^Comment=/{s/^Comment=//;p}' $dt); done
browserhistory - Searches in Konqueror's history
CharacterRunner - Creates special characters from their
hexadecimal codes
katesessions - Matches Kate Sessions
konquerorsessions - Matches Konqueror Sessions
...
plasma-runner-windowedwidgets - Find Plasma widgets that can be run as
standalone windows
plasma-runner-windows - List windows and desktops and switch them
recentdocuments -
In general, google searching for
KConfig key-name application
kcfgfile key-name application
might get you something useful.
Another thing i often have to do is :
$ rsync -axWS ~/.kde/ /var/tmp/${USER}-kde/
run a kcmshell4 / system-settings UI and toggle or change something,
then:
$ kompare ~/.kde/ /var/tmp/${USER}-kde/
(or diff -hwbr ~/.kde/ /var/tmp/${USER}-kde/ )
to figure out what KConfig key values changed in the process.
unfortunately, the converse (change a value and dig through UI
screens is MUCH more work ;}
btw, you can generally put SYSTEM LEVEL overrides in /etc/kde4/...
$ cat /etc/kde4/nepomukserverrc
[Basic Settings]
Start Nepomuk=false
overrides the Start setting for nepomuk.

[kde] CDE/deskset filtering (was Re: Mouse wheel workspace switching behavior)
Duncan wrote, On 09/20/2012 04:14 PM: Stephen Dowdy posted on Thu, 20 Sep 2012 13:35:47 -0600 as excerpted: OK, so we're at least second generation OT now, but... it's fun. =:^) So, i've changed the subject line ;) 2) Had you heard, CDE has been open-sourced now! =:^) Rather late, but they did open-source it, announcement maybe a month ago. (I switched from MS when they crossed the line I couldn't/wouldn't cross with eXPrivacy, tho I'd tried Linux before that, but that was after CDE, so kde2's CDE color theme was about the closest I got to CDE, personally.) Yup, hopefully something useful comes of it, but *I'm* not going back ;) But, i would be happy if that feature was adopted by freedesktop.org and applied to Qt and gtk widgets. 3) Back on topic, KDE of course has a send-to menu, which can AFAIK be modified via modifying the appropriate *.desktop service entries, but that's for sending files, not arbitrary text. http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19455-01/806-2901/texteditor-91/index.html So, the text_extras_menu was a generalized filter facility. Anything in the Selection Buffer was run as stdin to the filter command and the output from the filter was placed back into the selection buffer region. Thus things like capitalization, reflowing, indenting, etc were easy. You could even run it through a language translator filter if you had one. But, again, it was a specific feature of the text widget in DT. 4) Of course for text, there's klipper and its config. Set it up correctly, and you get a popup when either selected (X-style-clipboard) or copied (MS-style clipboard) text matches a configurable regex. The popup can then have one or more selectable actions associated with it. I use that quite a bit here, having quite a number of customized regexes and associated actions. I turned that off, because it was false-triggering on things i really didn't want it to. I see that you can disable the AUTOMATIC action triggers, which was my main problem, so you can still do something like select a URL and do manual invoke action on current clipboard which IS a nice feature. still doesn't answer the notion of the builtin generalized filtering that text_extras_menu provided, (even if you did something like 'regex=.*' action='tr lower upper' you still have to repaste over your current selection, it appears) --stephen -- Stephen Dowdy - Systems Administrator - NCAR/RAL 303.497.2869 - sdo...@ucar.edu- http://www.ral.ucar.edu/~sdowdy/ ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.

loaded effects appear to be the same as those enabled in the
GUI, whereas listed are those which are known/registered.
KDE 4.8 seems to have a new KWin method of activeEffects, which on
my Debian Wheezy laptop shows only 'translucency', only ONE of the
list of effects i have enabled. (which is more accurately reflected
by the 'loadedEffects' method)
Also,
tr '\0' '\n' /proc/$(pgrep kwin)/environ | sort | egrep '(^(KDE|KWIN)|GL)'
Will also help figure out if undesireable Environment Variables
somehow got into the KWin environment. There's many things that
have been thrown around related to poor nVidia performance with
KDE/KWin, including the use of these environment variables:
KWIN_NVIDIA_HACK=1 (theres a whole .so devoted just to setting this var in
KDE4.4)
KDE_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1
QT_NO_GLIB=1
KWIN_DIRECT_GL=1
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1
# Pick one of these three sets of rendering options
export KWIN_COMPOSE=X # (Use XRender)
graphicssystem=raster
#export KWIN_COMPOSE=O # (Use OpenGL)
#graphicssystem=opengl
#export KWIN_COMPOSE=N # (Use None)
#graphicssystem=native
I've lost track of what each of them did/fixed/broke, and only
the first is still set in my environment (again, automatically by
/usr/lib/libkwinnvidiahack.so.4.4.0)
But give those a try. At one point
KWIN_COMPOSE=X, --graphicssystem=raster
was much faster, but tended to have some nasty redraw problems.
(entire apps would fail to update their windows, re-exposed
regions wouldn't repaint, etc)
I ended up buying a new nVidia card, as the Quadro NVS295 that came with
my system just couldn't cut it. I got a GeForce GT440 w/ 2GB Memory. I have
found that the 2GB seems to make a big difference in my KDE experience.
(firefox seems to be the biggest offender, but then i often have 50-150
windows and 200-400 tabs). I was typically running at 95-100% of memory-usage
(as shown by 'nvidia-smi') with 1GB card.

Re: [kde] Hide panel on 2nd screen

Paul Check posted on Wed, 02 May 2012 20:17:09 -0400 as excerpted:

a TV in a different room. How do I hide the panel on the 2nd screen? I
can't click on the panel on the 2nd screen since I can't see the screen
while I'm typing. Is there a way to change some option in a config
file?
p.s. This is the latest kde in Debian unstable.
FWIW, latest kde in debian unstable doesn't help much for folks on
distributions other than debian. 4.8.2 or just coming out (today I
think), 4.8.3, is upstream kde's latest, but I've no idea what debian
has. Luckily it's not critical for this question, tho.
Duncan,
FWIW,
http://packages.debian.org/sid/kde-baseapps = 4.7.4 (apparently)
(yeah, shouldn't be up to you to figure out, but just an FYI)
The simplest thing to do, editing with plasma not running of course and
making a backup in case you screw up, is probably to figure out which
container matches the panel in question, and then simply delete all
sections with that container number.
Paul,
If you want to get fancy about it, i'd suggest pulling down the KDE Examples
plasma javascript kit and working out removing the panel programmatically
while KDE is active.
panel.remove() for the instance of the panel you find is attached to that
screen appears to be the call you want to make.
manipulatePanel.js looks like it'll be the most helpful of those.
probably want to enumerate through all the panel instances looking for
one that has 'panel.screen = 1' or something
listingPanelsActivitiesAndAvailablePlugins.js has:
print(Panels are: )
p = panels()
for (i in p) {
print( + p[i].type + , id = + p[i].id + , version = +
p[i].version + , widgets:)
printWidgets(p[i])
}
would be a good start for doing the testing loop.
I forget now, but you'll need to look through the dbus interface for plasma to
find the
plasma console call to open the console interface. It might be locatable via
krunner
(ALT-F2) by typing console or plasma) create your .js file, then load
it into
the plasma console and execute (and cross fingers)
If you decide to go this route, please let me know how it goes for you.

[kde] Konsole resizing and default size
[VersionInfo]
Qt: 4.6.3
KDE Development Platform: 4.4.5 (KDE 4.4.5)
(Debian Squeeze)
To obtain the current Konsole Window's size this appears to work:
$ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=${KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE}
/konsole/MainWindow_1 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Get
string:com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget string:size
method return sender=:1.34 - dest=:1.226 reply_serial=2
variant struct {
int32 1829
int32 1026
}
However, what i believe (from the inadequately documented
'dbus-send' manpage) should work to set the konsole window size,
generates an error...
$ dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=${KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE}
/konsole/MainWindow_1 org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set
string:com.trolltech.Qt.QWidget string:size variant:int32:1200,600
Error com.trolltech.QtDBus.Error.InternalError: Internal error
I've tried variant:int32:1200,600 ; variant:int32:1200 variant:int32:600 ;
int32:1200,600
Anybody know if this is just a known deficiency with dbus-send in
this release of kde, or am i doing something wrong? (perhaps there's
another configuration flag that is used to disallow remote property
changes?)
Ultimately, i'm putting a script together that runs inside a konsole
window, detects the user-specified size of that konsole, then
creates KWin Rules to force default konsole sizes to match, since
konsole is broken in that respect (i.e. doesn't allow you to specify
default size, it only remembers the last used size, and while it
claims to, it appears to ignore the --geometry flag on the command
line as well)
The meat of the script being:
numrules=$(kreadconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group General --key count)
rule=$(( numrules + 1 ))
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group ${rule} --key Description Force
Konsole windows to open with specific geometry
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group ${rule} --key size ${my_size}
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group ${rule} --key sizerule 3
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group ${rule} --key wmclass konsole
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group ${rule} --key wmclasscomplete
false
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group ${rule} --key wmclassmatch 1
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group ${rule} --key types 4294967295
kwriteconfig --file kwinrulesrc --group General --key count ${rule}
dbus-send --dest=org.kde.kwin /KWin org.kde.KWin.reloadConfig
But in doing this, i also started looking at resizing the konsoles
that existed already, which is where i'm stuck.
Also, it'd be nice to be able to specify CHARACTER cell sizes, not
just pixel sizes. Unfortunately, 'resize -s cols rows' doesn't work
with konsole, and i'm not sure of another way to resize konsole
windows this way...
Any pointers appreciated,
thanks,

So, something like : LeftShift+RightShift+Space might do it (with the extra non-modifier Space key) Otherwise, i bet there'd be a way to take one of your shift keys and change its class from Modifier to non thereby allowing the binding. (i'm pulling this all out of my nether regions, but hey it *sounds* good ;) ) I'm at home on a KDE3 system, but... % kcmshell keys there's a Modifiers [Tab]. If you look there, you see Shift is a modifier and down below shift is assigned with Key1 = LeftShift, Key2= RightShift. Give that a whirl.

You can also edit ~/.kde/share/config/kwinrc, and set Enabled=false in the
[Compositing] section.
Alex,
I prefer to state modifications to config files in terms of k{read,write}config
statements, as these should work regardless of the distro (i think). This
should make it easier for end-users to get the desired effect w/o having to
hunt around or try to figure out why a section/key/file don't exist.
Just Cut/Paste and voila' (crossing fingers...)
see below...
That would not be a global fix. That file doesn't even exist on a new install
until after KDE gets started, and then only for each individual's first login.
On Natty, I looked and found only one kwinrc, hiding in a directory called
/usr/share/kubuntu-netbook-default-settings/share/config, which makes no
sense to me, since this is a desktop install, not a netbook. Looking on the
mirrors in pool/main/k/ I see a kubuntu-netbook-default-settings/, but
nothing that looks appropriate for a desktop installation.
On 11.4, I couldn't find a kwinrc in any of /etc, /opt, /var or /usr.
Anyway, would the kwinrc file in Natty's /usr rats nest be appropriate for
global changes? It has no [Compositing] section.
Felix,
This will work to disable compositing for the user that runs it (after logout
and log-back-in, or if they've never logged in yet:
kwriteconfig --file kwinrc --group Compositing --key Enabled false
This should work to create a SITE-specific (or machine specific)
Override (that should not be touched by system updates). This will/should
create files, group sections, and keys as appropriate
if they don't already exist.
kde_etc_config=$(kde4-config --path config | cut -f2 -d:)
kwriteconfig --file ${kde_etc_config}/kwinrc --group Compositing --key Enabled
false
At least this all Works for Me(tm) ;)

I know it well, because I get notifications frequently that my system is too slow and that the desktops effects are being suspended. This notification also mentions how to toggle the effects back via this key combination. I was hoping there'd be someway to get a list of active shortcuts, but so far haven't found a good way. There's some inkling of a possibly incomplete implementation (or just one i don't yet know how to use) at: qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.shortcutNames (i see the shortcut names, but not the keybindings for the names) e.g. $ qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin org.kde.kglobalaccel.Component.shortcutNames | grep -i Compos Suspend Compositing So, the best i can find for hotkeys is: kcmshell4 keys standard_actions You can then hit the File widget on the right in the Global Keyboard Shortcuts' module and export everything to a file like /tmp/keys.kksrc', then do: kreadconfig --file /tmp/keys.kksrc --group 'kwin' --group 'Global Shortcuts' --key 'Suspend Compositing' Alt+Shift+F12 I'm still not clear on the entire distinction between standard actions and global shortcuts within KDE4. I have a dual core AMD 4850e CPU with 2.5 GHz, and on-board Radeon HD3200 video (using the open-source radeon driver). Which seems to be barely enough to run KDE4 (using six desktops and running much stuff I must admit). top gives these values, sampled over two minutes: 27% X 16% kwin 13% plasma-desktop 5% amarok 5% dbus-daemon 3% udisks-daemon 3% akonadi_imap_re 3% akonadiserver 3% mysqld 2% kget 2% knotify4 I had to buy a new graphics card for my Dell T3500 ( Intel E5520 ) to even sustain a KDE4 session. (was an nVidia NVS295, is now an nVidia GeForce GTS 450) I was having 5 second delays during window switching. 30% 'X' CPU usage just moving the mouse from one konsole to another and back/forth. Now, instead of it being hair-tearing-out slow, it's just mildly annoying (i think the GTS450 is roughly 10-20X overall performance of the NVS295) . I tried a half-dozen different nVidia drivers (2 of which were latest betas) (i'm not able to use nouveau, or at least can't figure out how to have it work with my card AND my two monitors. I also had to give up running my two monitors as independent X11 screens, one horiz, one vertical (documentation), because KDE4's kwin doesn't support multiple screens.) I'm still having trouble with redraw problems. holes in windows, partial redraws, taking many seconds to repaint an entire window, titlebars being half redrawn (only the bottom horizontal half gets redrawn)... That's not necessarily all KDE4's fault, but i didn't have any of this on KDE3 (Debian Lenny vs Debian Squeeze) I.E. i'm not a happy camper. I have to have effects enabled to mitigate this somewhat. (but all the effects are off) I've played with running '--graphicssystem raster' and 'opengl' for kwin, konsole, plasma-desktop, nothing seems to solidly help. Now, i'm one of those people that has upto 50 firefox windows and 200-300 tabs open. In KDE3 this was not a problem (even with the crappy NVS295 card) In KDE4 i can not even RUN with that profile at all, the system stops responding entirely. I'm Waiting on Squeeze and a Half which hopefully will have KDE4 4.6 or greater (waiting, waiting, waiting) ( production work desktop, so i can't be diddling with 'sid', 'testing'...) --stephen -- Stephen Dowdy - Systems Administrator - NCAR/RAL 303.497.2869 - sdo...@ucar.edu- http://www.ral.ucar.edu/~sdowdy/ ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.

[kde] Re: Autostart locations in KDE4
Tim Edwards wrote, On 06/02/2011 03:53 AM:
Recently I found that knetworkmanager wasn't starting up when I logged
into KDE. I tried looking for any mention of it in the 'startup and
shutdown' control centre module, but no luck. Eventually I found a tip
on a forum that I had to set 'Autostart=true' in
~/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc
So my question is, what's the status of the autostart stuff:
Shouldn't it all be configurable through the standard control centre
module which stores its settings in the standard (~/.config/autostart)
directory?
Does KDE go scanning through ~/.kde4/share/config/ looking for
'Autostart=' in rc-files?
Tim,
In case it's any help, i enclose a script that dumps out the KDE4 configuration
operational environment in a nice concise format.
There would be a difference between the autostart path and the config path.
The config path would be scanned until it finds a networkmanagementrc file.
I believe
kde4-config --locate networkmanagementrc --path config
would show which file ultimately is going to be used. (i think it's a scan
and stop on first found algorithm, rather than a merge all files found
that match in the path operation). it'll show nothing if no config file
is found in the path.
I was surprised when using the kcmshell4 autostart center that it was using
the XDG autostart path to write a new autostart desktop function. I thought
it would prefer the KDE4 autostart path. I'm not sure if that indicates
a future deprecation of the KDE4 specific autostart directory in favor
of XDG integration?
If so, you may need to use the 'OnlyShowIn=KDE' directives in such XDG pathed
autostart files if the given application can't or shouldn't run in other
desktop environments.

[kde] Programmatically adding plasmoid widgets to the plasma panel?
I have hunted around a bit, but not come up with anything i can
run with yet, but want to populate the plasma panel with standard
widgets. Below is a shell script i use on KDE3 to allow user to
quickly select some standard widgets to add to 'kicker' panel,
but i'd like the equivalent for KDE4. At least i'd like to know
how to programmatically install a widget similar to what i'm
doing below.
Anyway, 'kwriteconfig' is certainly not a viable tool to manipulate
either KDE3's kicker panel config file, nor the plasma config file
(that one's even more horrific requiring a full parse to figure
out indexes of multi-variant arrays, blah...)
I ran across some cursory ECMAscript docs for plasma, and if that's
the way to go, any example code anybody's got is welcome.
Anyway, any pointers appreciated.
thanks,

[kde] Re: Autostart locations in KDE4
Tim Edwards wrote, On 06/02/2011 02:10 PM: Thanks for the script. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. The config path is: config = /home/tim/.kde4/share/config/:/usr/share/kde4/config/:/etc/kde4/share/config/ [/usr/share/kde4/config/] Does that mean KDE scans all those directories for rc-files, and then starts any that have autostart=true? No, I think what you're really looking at (i could be wrong), is that the networkmanager desktop autostart file (on my Debian Squeeze machine, this is located in /usr/share/autostart/kde-4-knetworkmanager-autostart.desktop ) has an execution conditional in it... X-KDE-autostart-condition=networkmanagementrc:General:Autostart:true So, in order to autostart networkmanager, it needs to find a configuration key named Autostart within the General group of the networkmanagementrc configuration file that is true. $ kreadconfig --file networkmanagementrc --group General --key Autostart (i don't have such a key in my config search path) So, it must default to 'true', I suspect that you have it set FALSE somewhere. $ kde4-config --locate networkmanagementrc --path config /home/sdowdy/.kde/share/config/networkmanagementrc This is the file that is found first within the config path To force Autostart to True, do... kwriteconfig --file networkmanagementrc --group General --key Autostart true That will write it into the first path component in the config path (for you: /home/tim/.kde4/share/config/networkmanagementrc) So, the *autostart* files are separate from the configuration files, but because the networkmanager desktop autostart file is making a demand for a config path conditional, the config stuff gets pulled into the mix here. From quickly glancing at another message of yours. Those other applications are probably configured in the KDE4 system autostart install path, thus not *user* managed. My 'kde4-info' script doesn't identify that path (because kde4-config doesn't show it either), but as you see from above it is /usr/share/autostart. This brings up a point about *Disabling* those system installed defaults. Theoretically, they should all have a 'X-KDE-autostart-condition' directive so the user could create disabling overrides. But notice they don't all: $ grep -c X-KDE-autostart-condition /usr/share/autostart/* /usr/share/autostart/kab2kabc.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/kaddressbookmigrator.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/kalarm.autostart.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/kgpg.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/klipper.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/kmix_autostart.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/konqy_preload.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/korgac.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/krunner.desktop:0 /usr/share/autostart/nepomukserver.desktop:1 /usr/share/autostart/plasma-desktop.desktop:0 /usr/share/autostart/restore_kmix_volumes.desktop:1 So, it is presumed that you MUST run krunner and plasma-desktop on my machine. I wanted to replace 'plasma-desktop' with one that started 'plasma-desktop --graphicssystem=raster'. From what little documentation i ran across there was a method of a user created autostart OVERRIDE of a system autostart. I.E. create the same filename and disable it from running. Then i was going to create a 'plasma-desktop-rastergraphics.desktop' that invoked the command above, instead. Unfortunately, Debian Squeeze forcibly deletes any 'plasma-desktop.desktop' file in the user's autostart directory in 'startkde' to address some other bug. I think that solution is itself a bug, breaking this override mechanism (as i understand it) Oh well, there are plenty of other significant bugs in KDE4 i'm having to deal with. (kquitapp plasma-desktop sleep 3 plasma-desktop --graphicssystem=raster) then has to become a KDE4 Autostart script to workaround this particular bug :-( Hopefully that answers your question... --stephen -- Stephen Dowdy - Systems Administrator - NCAR/RAL 303.497.2869 - sdo...@ucar.edu- http://www.ral.ucar.edu/~sdowdy/ ___ This message is from the kde mailing list.
