= Agenda =
topics to discuss: - PolicyKit integration (#428212) - KDE4 in Desktop User Guide (Request by Marc Wiriadisastra) [1,2] - Status of konq-plugins
recent bugs: - kmix/mute doesn't work (#437962)
= Summary =
o PolicyKit integration: - KevinKofler adapted a patch which should work but is not tested yet. - It fixes PolicyKit related problems in KDE3 and KDE4. - Although these bugs have been reported against either KDE3 or KDE4 they probably affect both versions. - KDE4 (#428212: unable to mount partitions in dolphin): * The patch uses "kdesu dbus-send" when HAL returns a PermissionDeniedByPolicy error. - KDE3 (#378041: unable to mount removable/ntfs): * The uid is only passed to the 4 filesystems for which HAL allows it without throwing an "unknown error". * But HAL would the the better place to fix this by doing one of these: - not listing the uid= option as allowed if it's going to error with a "TODO" on it. - doing something sensible with uid=, even if it's PermissionDeniedByPolicy for non-root. * Because HAL seems to work fine in F7 the patch will be included in F8 only (for KDE3).
o Desktop User Guide: - The current DUG is outdated and only for KDE3. - MarcWiriadisastra will update it for KDE4 after the beta is released. [3] - We should review all other pages for needed changes.
o Status of konq-plugins: - konq-plugins contains additional plugins for konqueror (mostly from former kdeaddons). - The package will be submitted for review ASAP. - But it still needs some testing because it's unmaintained upstream.
o kmix/mute doesn't work: - The bug was not reproducible by other KDE SIG members. - So not working muting in kmix seems to be a local/configuration issue.
o Open discussion: - kaudiocreator: * kaudiocreator is too unstable to ship it. * So it will be marked as deferred from KDE4Status (so that FeatureKDE4 is able to reach 100%). - PackageKit: * OpenSuse seems to be developing a KDE4 frontend for PackageKit. [4] * But Fedora 9 will ship gnome-packagekit as a frontend. * pk-update-icon isn't automatically started at login because it is located in /usr/share/gnome/autostart. * Bug #437048 will be re-opened to request moving it to /etc/xdg/autostart.
