Fedora contributors, anyone willing to help out with a simple pkg review? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=500902 It's really a single library, reviewing should be trivial. Thanks! -- Rex

Dolphin "cd"s in konsole history are annoying. Split consoles for split views ?
by linux guy 14 May '09

14 May '09

I love the way that Dolphin can now be set up so that it has a console at the bottom that follows the directories as you browse. I often browse somewhere and then do command line commands and then do something with a GUI and then... back and forth. Its an excellent way to work. Whoever thought of tying Dophin and a console together deserves a medal. However, I find one part of it to be annoying... whenever you change a directory in Dolphin, it records a cd command in the console history. I really like how the console tracks the directory changes that occur in Dolphin. It saves me a lot of time, not having to issue cds in the console to keep it in the directory that I am looking at in Dolphin. However, it might be me, but I don't want to see the Dolphin cds in the console history. The only commands that I want to see in the console history are the ones that I enter myself manually. If I want to note what directory I am working in in the console history, I'll issue a pwd command. I think it would be really nice if there was a turn off the logging of Dolphin cds in the console history. Is there a way to do this ? Another issue is how there is only one console tied to the Dolphin app and yet Dolphin can have a split screen with 2 different directory views. Unfortunately, every time you jump between views another cd gets issued in the console. It would be nice if a split view Dolphin session had 2 consoles. It would be really nice if those sessions shared the same history so that if you typed a command in one, you could just put the cursor in the other console, go into the history and repeat the same command in the other console. I love open source and Fedora and KDE. Thanks for listening.

Amarok update path on kde-redhat
by Mary Ellen Foster 13 May '09

13 May '09

I'm running Fedora 11 (preview/rawhide/whatever) on x86_64, with all kde-redhat repositories enabled -- including the i386 ones because of multilib issues. I've done all of the other (non-amarok) updates today, and amarok is still being annoying ... Right now, I get the following if I attempt to "yum update" (edited to show the relevant bits): ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: amarok-utils i586 2.0.96-1.fc11 kde-i386-unstable 148 k replacing amarok-utilities.x86_64 2.0.90-2.fc11 Installing for dependencies: [ ... ] amarok-utilities i586 2.0.90-2.fc11 kde-i386-unstable 142 k [ ... ] If I disable the i386 repositories, I don't see any proposed updates, even after a "yum clean all". Is this a mirror issue? A multilib issue? What's the deal with amarok-util[itie]s?

This is a report of the weekly KDE-SIG-Meeting with a summary of the topics that were discussed. If you want to add a comment please reply to this email or add it to the related meeting page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Weekly KDE Summary = Week: 20/2009 Time: 2009-05-12 16:00 UTC Meeting page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2009-05-12 Meeting log: http://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/d/df/KDE-SIG-2009-05-12.txt ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Participants = - JaroslavReznik - KevinKofler - LukasTinkl - RexDieter - SebastianVahl - StevenParrish ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Agenda = * Delta RPMS * F11 news: leonidas-kde-theme updates * KDE 4.2.3 update status * Qt 4.5.1 update status * KDE 4.2.85 status (F12 Rawhide) = Summary = o Delta RPMs: * kpackagekit in its current version supports delta-rpms provided by yum- presto. * So the usual huge KDE updates would benefit from the smaller delta-rpms if enabled by default. * The current release decision for Fedora 11 is to not install yum-presto by default. * We'll stick with this decision: It's too late in the release cycle to push it on the KDE live images. o leonidas-kde-theme update: * The final version of leonidas-kde-theme was built and tagged today. [1] * It matches the current leonidas-backgrounds (updated yesterday), adds two subpackages and re-enables labels. * The update should be tested by all available people. o KDE 4.2.3 update status: * KDE 4.2.3 is already available in updates-testing for F-9, F-10 and F-11. [2,3,4] * Extragear packages for KDE 4.2.3 were built and will be submitted for updates-testing soon. * An update for the weather dataengine in kdebase-workspace will be backported from KDE 4.3 if testing goes fine. o Qt 4.5.1 update status: * Tracker bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=Qt451 * Qt 4.5.1 is now in updates-testing for F-11 and F-10, F-9 will be added with the next push. [6,7,8] * Two regressions in Qt 4.5.0 are fixed by this update (texmaker, jabbim), but three new regressions appeared (rssnow plasmoid, ksysguard, Amarok 2.0). * The status of regressions vs. fixes will be evaluated in a week. * Two patches are worth considering a backport: - A possible fix for the rendering issues [9] - A fix for a leak of file descriptors in QTemporaryFile: [10] o Open discussion: * strigi-0.6.4-4.fc10 [11] will be pushed to stable although it was reported to not fix #496620 [12] completely: smb:/// apparently still crashes, but at least the crash when checking the properties of / was fixed. * Importing KDE 4.2.85 in F12 was started. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Next Meeting = http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2009-05-19 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Links = [1] http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=101866 [2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F9/FEDORA-2009-4763 [3] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-4786 [4] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-4808 [5] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=Qt451 [6] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F11/FEDORA-2009-4813 [7] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-4844 [8] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/qt-4.5.1-10.fc9 [9] http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/2e3a5ea4434d19fbdb90996e71961f0791ea64… [10] http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/42e2070925d012845db9cf85e597a17851a0dc… [11] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F10/FEDORA-2009-3816 [12] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=496620

Why I'm using unstable repos
by Andrew Mason 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi guys, I saw a post asking for people to let you know why we were using the unstable repos. I'm not sure why others are using it but for me it was because there were some features or problems which I found the current distributions KDE packages which I was hoping ( or were ) fixed in the newer packages. Initially it was because the plasma-networkmanager app , kopete and quassel were available. I don't have alot of ram in some of my machines so I didn't really want to run KDE 3 apps in kde4 as they can't take advantage of the libraries that are already loaded. I also saw it as a way to test kdevelop4.

KAddressbook v.4.1 (KDE 4.2.2) in F-10
by Martin Kho 12 May '09

12 May '09

Hi, In KAddressbook I've some contacts that have more than one e-mail address. When I try to select one of these, I get a pop up box asking me to choose an e-mail address. After clicking the Ok-button the same pop up box reappears. Does anyone else have seen this? Can I disable this question somewhere? If I select more than one contact, all those messages are getting annoying. Thanks, Martin Kho
