Program Launcher settings
by Emmett Culley 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

I would like to be able to set the width and height of the application launcher (menu) pop up box. I recently added a side panel to contain the pager and moved the menu to that panel. Now when the menu pops up it is orientated so that the tabs are arranged vertically on the left side. I like that layout, however the box is now too narrow to display the menu items. That is, for most items, only the first word is completely visible. Does anyone know how to set these values? One thing I notice is that the very first time I use the menu after a reboot the box is wide enough for all of the text of all items are visible. But the next time I use the menu, and for the rest of the session, it is back to "too narrow". Emmett

How to setup dual head?
by Orcan Ogetbil 08 Oct '09

08 Oct '09

Hi, I got this new job last week where I have to deal with my university's servers, mostly Solaris but also some Linux. The guys were kind enough set me up a Fedora machine before I moved into the office. But unfortunately they only installed the "Fedora Desktop", i.e. Gnome on it. One of my colleagues told me that they liked KDE 3.5 a lot, but after the KDE 4.0 disaster, nobody was using KDE on the company anymore (see the impacts of certain decisions!). Well, this is not my point. Anyway, I logged in to Gnome and I set up the dual head (spanned desktop) with their tool and it worked right away. Later on, I told my colleagues that KDE improved a lot since 4.0 and they should give a try to 4.3. For a demonstration I installed KDE on my machine. I logged in and the first thing to do was to setup the dual head. I opened System Settings and as soon as I clicked on the Display, X crashed and I was thrown out. It was really a bad experience for a demonstration (kind of like Bill Gates' WinME video). I logged back in and ran krandrtray. This one crashed X too. I clicked on whatever I can find regarding the desktop setup and I found that everything on KDE that is related to the X settings crashes X. I then had to spend 15 minutes to write an xorg.conf file from scratch to make the dual head work, while people were making comments in the lines of "this is why I don't like KDE"... :( So, what was my mistake? This box has an ATI card and has the open source radeon drivers (the proprietary drivers are not available on F-11). Should ATI users stick to F-10 if they want to use KDE, which has only 2 months of lifetime left? I really feel bad. I wanted to show people how cool KDE 4.3 was, but I couldn't. Orcan

Sudden printing problems
by Anne Wilson 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

I'm trying to find out whether an update has broken something, or there is something wrong here. kdebase-workspace-4.3.1-9.fc11.i586 I've just discovered that both kwrite and kate crash/freeze as soon as I call Print. OpenOffice Writer continues to print correctly. Has anyone else got a problem? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

KDE 4.3.1 is the poop !
by linux guy 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Just gotta say what a treat it is to be running KDE 4.3.1. Its smooth, fast, nice, powerful, versatile, etc. I am very happy with it, save for a few issues with Konqueror when browsing the web. (Still my fave browser though...) Good work team KDE. Your efforts are appreciated. Aside: for the life of me I cannot figure out why people continue to run Windows. Is it me or is Linux/Fedora/KDE overwhelmingly better than any and all flavors of Windows ? LG

KOffice downgrade?
by Petrus de Calguarium 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Just curious... How come we went from koffice 2 back down to koffice 1.6 in rawhide today? The new koffice 2 was getting to look pretty good and I was finally almost at the point of switching from OpenOffice, but definitely not to koffice 1.6.

Filelight crashing
by Sonic 07 Oct '09

07 Oct '09

Hello I've been using Filelight (from Fedora 11 repos) for some time now and it's been working fine. Recently, I notice that it crashes (always) on startup. Can anybody help me identify what's wrong? The backtrace is attached. I have kde* and qt* updated from the stable repos of Fedora 11 (2.6.30.5-43.fc11.i686.PAE). regards, Syam Krishnan
