CDs in Amarok
by Anne Wilson
I'm sure it was said quite a long time ago that the problems of playing CDs in
Amarok were now resolved. However, I can't find any way to play one. Does
anyone know how?

Might be worth you getting the 180.29 rpms from rpmfusion testing. X very
stable for me with this driver and KDE4.2 on all 3 of my boxes - 7900GTO,
8800GTX and GTX260. Have an autostart script 'nvidia-settings -a
InitialPixmapPlacement=2 -a GlyphCache=1', but I think these are defaults now.
xorg.conf - only 'Option' setting is "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True".

I get this intermittently! for other apps. The messages seem nonsensical -
when I've looked at the bindings I've never seen how they were ambiguous.
IIRC, the most annoying is that in akregator Ctrl-W doesn't close windows -
and has sometimes given that message.

Kate keyboard shortcuts
by Jeremy Sanders
Hi - is it just me, or does pressing shortcuts such as "Ctrl+S" in kate on
KDE 4.2 always brings up the message "The key sequence 'Ctrl+S' is
ambiguous. Use 'Configure Shortcuts' from the 'Settings' menu to solve the
ambiguity. No action will be triggered.'
This didn't happen before the Fedora 10 KDE 4.2 update. There are no obvious
ambiguities in the shortcut dialog, and other shortcut keys bring up the
same message (most ctrl+xxx).

Could be a pulseaudio issue as well. Have pavucontrol installed? What
does it say wrt input and output devices?
-- Rex
Hi Rex,
pavucontrol lists "HDA NVidia - ALC888 Analog" for input and output whether I've done my workaround or not. KMix, on the bottom right of the task bar is what is giving me a visual indication that something is hinky - along with that whole 'no sound from the speakers' thing. I've really got no idea what all is in the chain between KMix and the hardware itself.
Cheers,

Broken dependency for guidance-power-manager
by Tejas Dinkar
For some reason, there is a PyKDE and a PyKDE4 package available on
fedora.
If you (by some odd chance) run guidance with PyKDE4 installed (but not
PyKDE), it fails with the following traceback.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/guidance-power-manager", line 29, in <module>
from PyKDE4.kdecore import KAboutData, KCmdLineArgs, KConfig,
i18n, i18nc, i18np, ki18n, ki18nc, KGlobal, KStandardDirs,
KLocalizedString
RuntimeError: the sip module supports API v3.0 to v3.7 but the
PyKDE4.kdecore module requires API v3.8
This error vanishes if you install PyKDE. Thus I think you should add
the line
Requires: PyKDE >= 3.16 (randomly chosen) to guidance-power-manager.spec

Sound gets confused with usb microphone plugged in.
by Gar
I have a Shuttle XPC, specs are here http://www.shuttle.eu/SeeIT/neuheiten/neuheiten_en/neuheiten_sn78sh7_en.html and a Dell SP2208WFP Monitor. The sound on the computer is via an onboard Realtek ALC888DD and the monitor has a usb OmniVision Tech. microphone in addition to the usb OmniVision camera built into it. I'm running Fedora 10 with a KDE login manager, and a KDE desktop. The system is up to date as of yesterday.
Here's the problem.
If I boot the computer with everything plugged in, the only thing the mixer sees is the microphone. No other audio devices appear. Obviously, no sound output.
If I unplug the Dell usb cable from the monitor, then the onboard audio system (RealTek) is recognized and works fine. I can plug the Dell monitor usb cable in after my login completes, and I can get the camera and the microphone back. The mixer tabs are "HDA NVidia" and "Monitor Webcam (SP2208WFP)" at that point.
It would be nice to leave everything plugged in, and still have it all work, but for whatever reason, the system seems to think that the microphone built into the monitor is a priority to the exclusion of all else. I have a work-around, unplugging the usb cable, hopefully it is just a work-around, and not a final solution. ;)

Amarok Covers - Anyone else noticed this?
by Gerald B. Cox
Was just wondering if anyone noticed this or if I somehow have missed a configuration option.
I store my album covers in each album directory using the following convention:
cover.jpg
albumartsmall.jpg
thumb.jpg
With 2.0 I noticed the covers were being displayed blurred. I then used the "select custom cover" option and
changed the file to "cover.jpg". Looks like by default the thumb.jpg file is being selected. I don't want to hassle with resetting
each individual cover.
Did something change? Never had this issue in 1.4 and can't find anything referencing it.
I've opened this bug:
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181770
Thanks!

qt-4.5 must be what we needed
by Petrus de Calguarium
All last week, the systray was just a long black void, unable to display any
icons on the running programs (hovering, showed the tooltips and they could be
clicked, so worked).
After this morning's update, I assume it must have been qt-4.5 that is
responsible, all the icons are back and everything looks super!
[I am using f11alpha (rawhide).]
