December 2009 - kde - Fedora Mailing-Lists

by Colin J Thomson

Hi, Out of curiosity, I am using rpmfusions Nvidia drivers but I can't get any of KDE's desktop effects to work, everything else seems fine. Is this a known problem? All was fine in F11, I've tried to search for some info but no luck so far. Clean install - F12/KDE-4.3.4 Cheers Colin -- Fedora release 12 (Constantine) Registered Linux user number #342953

F12: 30 second freeze when accessing certain panel items ?

by linux guy

I'm running a KDE sesson on a fully up to date F12 system. $ uname -a Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.31.6-166.fc12.i686.PAE #1 SMP Wed Dec 9 11:00:30 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux $ rpm -q kdelibs kdelibs-4.3.3-4.fc12.i686 My computer is freezing for ~30 seconds when I access various items in a panel like the Weather Forecast and Calendar widgets. Is anyone else experiencing this ? Thanks

Nevertheless, as far as I know, NVidia cards under Linux is the only available option for my needs at work: I need a crunching 3D OpenGL that can eat lots of triangles. When I had a look last time (January 2009), NVidia proprietary drivers seemed to be the best option, on the performances side. ATI drivers were not supporting recent 3D cards, and Intel 3D performances were a joke. Maybe it has changed recently. I hope so! As far as openness matters, Intel seems to be the best open source support, but AFAIK the Intel developers are not giving specs of Intel cards: they only gives open source drivers, and third-part developers have difficulties to fix bugs in Intel drivers. That is not that good. ATI gives specifications, but the open source community does not seem to have enough man power to give good 3D drivers for recent cards. I dream of a manufacturer who would gives the specs *and* provides man power to implement open source drivers... -- Laurent Rineau, PhD R&D Engineer at GeometryFactory http://www.geometryfactory.com/ Release Manager of the CGAL Project http://www.cgal.org/

Question: Automount and Unmount via KDE?

by Stephen Cuppett

I've been picking KDE from the login screen for a long time and recently ran through the steps to just make KDE the default here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE However, whenever I connect a USB stick, camera or whatever, it still fires up a Nautilus window... It's all accessible from Dolphin also, but it's not the default. Also, I can't unmount the device via KDE/Dolphin. It says, device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL. I have to slip into a command window to umount. I can start HAL, but is there something else that should be stopped? Is there a quick-list of commands to get this *right*? Should they be on that wiki page? Thanks! Steve -- Stephen Cuppett <http://www.stephencuppett.com>steve at cuppett.com

Enabling Debuginfo with update-testing ?

by Armelius Cameron

Hello, I want to install the debuginfo packages for KDE but having some problem with dependency. At some point in the recent past, I enabled "updates-testing" repository, and installed the latest gcc from update-testing because I wanted to try them. It pulled some dependencies with it, which until now is not in the "updates" repository yet. Now, when I want to install qt and kdelibs debuginfo following the instruction on the Fedora wiki site, I get the problem with dependency below, even after enabling updates-testing repository. Could you help telling me if I am missing something ? Thanks. ]# debuginfo-install qt kdelibs Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit enabling fedora-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files enabling livna-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files enabling rpmfusion-free-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files enabling rpmfusion-free-updates-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files enabling rpmfusion-nonfree-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files enabling rpmfusion-nonfree-updates-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files enabling updates-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files enabling updates-testing-debuginfo Reading repository metadata in from local files Could not find debuginfo for main pkg: 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:qt-4.5.3-9.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package openssl-1.0.0-0.13.beta4.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package 1:dbus- libs-1.2.16-8.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package libgcc-4.4.2-14.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package libgcc-4.4.2-14.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package libgcc-4.4.2-14.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glib2-2.22.2-3.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glib2-2.22.2-3.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glibc-2.11-2.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package openssl-1.0.0-0.13.beta4.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package libstdc++-4.4.2-14.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package libstdc++-4.4.2-14.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package libstdc++-4.4.2-14.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package zlib-1.2.3-23.fc12.i686 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glib2-2.22.2-3.fc12.x86_64 Could not find debuginfo pkg for dependency package glib2-2.22.2-3.fc12.x86_64 --> Running transaction check ... -- AC

KDE F-12 login slow

by Orion Poplawski

Has anyone else noticed logging on to KDE under F-12 to be slower than on F-10/11? Are there any tools out there to record timings of the login process to see what might be taking longer? -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com

Any news on exchange support?

by Neal Becker

As we move on to F13, I wonder if there is any news on support for MS exchange? IIRC, somewhere around F11 there was work to implement the low- level mechanisms, and there was talk about integrating into kde.
