A much improved menu layout
by Petrus de Calguarium 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

I noticed that the menu is improved, as of about a day or 2 ago. No longer are system setup and system apps separate (I no longer recall the original names), and the user apps category (I no longer recall original name) is now just called accessories. This is much clearer, more intuitive and easier to find programs. I am not sure if any went missing, but I do notice that those awkward and useless sub-categories of other programs under each main heading (again, I cannot recall what they were called) are now gone. Hopefully, the programs formerly thereunder are now integrated into the main headings.

kmix not working with pulseaudio for some systems
by Roderick Johnstone 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

Hi So far I've got Fedora 12 running on some (x86_64) systems with two different sound cards. For the ones with sound card A kmix is able to control the volume. For the ones with sound card B kmix is unable to control the volume. I'd like some help in getting kmix to work with system B please. Here are some details... linux A> cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Live ]: EMU10K1 - SB Live! 5.1 [SB0220] SB Live! 5.1 [SB0220] (rev.10, serial:0x100a1102) at 0xac00, irq 18 linux B> cat /proc/asound/cards 0 [Audigy2 ]: Audigy2 - SB Audigy 4 [SB0610] SB Audigy 4 [SB0610] (rev.0, serial:0x10211102) at 0x1000, irq 18 System settings / Multimedia shows that both systems are using Pulseaudio for the Output device (hovering over this displays "xine audio output plugin using pulseaudio sound server). To get audible sound, in pavucontrol I have to set: system A requires the Configuration tab to have the profile set to "Analogue Stereo Duplex" system B requires the Configuration tab to have the profile set to "Digital Stereo (IEC958) output + Analog Stereo input" For system A kmix can control the volume. For system B I cannot get kmix to control the volume; nothing happen when I change the sliders. Can anyone suggest how to make kmix control volume on system B. Thanks Roderick

K3b update question
by Anne Wilson 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

What is the significance of these lines? Non-fatal POSTUN scriptlet failure in rpm package k3b-libs and warning: %postun(k3b-libs-1:1.68.0-2.fc11.i586) scriptlet failed, exit status 1 Is there something that I will need to do at some point to compensate for this error?

Background color issue
by Orion Poplawski 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

I've been upgrading machines here at work to Fedora 12. Today puzzle - user's plasma/widgets color scheme appears to be black on black. Calendar, power settings, task bar popups are unreadable. Regular windows are fine. Any idea what might be causing this? Video card is ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility HD 3670 [1002:9593], using stock Fedora drivers. Also, clicking on the clock brings up two calendars, one stacked on top of another. No idea how to get rid of the extra one. Thanks. -- 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

KPilot RIP
by Anne Wilson 11 Dec '09

11 Dec '09

KPilot has been without a maintainer for a long time, and it has been decided to officially declare it dead, unless someone steps up to help. If you have a Palm device and would be interested in helping out, please contact the developer mailing list (kde-devel(a)kde.org) It's likely that someone could guide you through a bug-fix or two, before you commit to being maintainer, and your contribution would be sincerely welcomed.

problems with authentication
by José Abílio Matos 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I am having problems with authentication on kde after Tuesday updates, there were several so I am unsure about the culprit. I have kde-* active as well as fedora-updates-testing. From Tuesday updates I have reverted hal. The problem comes when using kmail or konqueror. On konqueror any secure page access fails, i.e., on any page that requires a password the authentication will fail regardless of the fact that the password is correct. On kmail the problem is less acute (well annoying is more the right word), as on every time that I send a message it complains that the smtp certificates are unknown. If I ask for them to be accepted for ever it will send the message but next time I send the message I will receive the same information and the same request. -- José Abílio

akonadi problems with F12 clean install
by Christos Lazaridis 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, I've been having major trouble trying to make akonadi work on a clean F12 install. I've managed to fix some of the issue as mysql-server and qt mysql driver were not installed by default. Now, I get an error at the MySql server logs: > Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist I tried this http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi#Table_.27mysql._servers.27_doesn.27t_exist but did not work; also, I get a "no resource agents found" error. Any pointers on how to proceed? thanks, Christos.

No restart after 'critical' update
by Martin Kho 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

Hi, After a 'critical' update - via update manager (kpackagekit) - is installed a notification pop up tells that a restart is necessary. You can chose between: "Restart" or "Not Now". When choosing "Restart" nothing happens. This is in Fedora 12 (kpackagekit-0.5.1.1-1.fc12.x86_64) Anyone else have seen this? Martin Kho

kdelibs-experimental?
by Petrus de Calguarium 10 Dec '09

10 Dec '09

I notice that kdelibs-experimental is not in 4.3.4 as it presently appears in kde-redhat repo. Is it discontinued, and if so, can I safely uninstall kdelibs-experimental-4.3.3, or should I leave it?
