Active windows
by Jeremy Sanders 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

The active window "glow" is blue for the default Oxygen KDE style. This is the same colour as the default Fedora background. This is almost the only way you can see the active window, besides the title going slightly grey. The recent KDE 4.4 updates have made it very hard to see the active window. I've switched on "Draw separator between title bar and active window contents". This helps, but the effect is subtle. Outlining the active window title also helps, but is pretty ugly. I think the defaults should be changed if Fedora ships a blue background. Jeremy

KDE 4.4, anyone got CPU scaling support?
by Chris Smart 03 Mar '10

03 Mar '10

Hi all, I've noticed that with a fresh Fedora install of KDE 4.4, PowerDevil is saying that my system does not support CPU scaling. However, I do have acpi_cpufreq, cpufreq_ondemand, etc loaded, and the cpufreq command works from the terminal (as root). So, before I log a bug, does anyone have a KDE 4.4 install where PowerDevil *does* report support for CPU scaling? System Settings -> Advanced tab -> Power Management -> Capabilities (check "scaling capability"). Thanks, Chris

Re: KAddressbook, Nepomuk, etc

This should be something like "import contacts from the web" kind of option in KAddressBook. It's probably doable. Or, there could be an "export into kaddressbook-type file" button in the web interface, which is probably even easier to implement. Or a comma-separated-values file, which virtually any addressbook app can import. > 4. The program should be sufficiently flexible > to allow new fields (eg images) to be added. This is also crucial. I could really make use of a database with dynamic field configurations in tables. Or a sufficiently powerful web-interface which would instruct mysql backend to do all the hard work. > 5.

Or have the field contain a symlink to the file. So I don't want to have _information_ about films and books in the database, but rather the actual films and books themselves. > 6.

Well, as I said above, the *only* thing that is actually needed is a powerful web GUI, for *any* database backend.

Oh, if you ever find such a thing, do send me an e-mail with a link! It would make my life sooo much easier... :-) BTW, I would add the following requirements: 7. It should be able to handle multiple databases. I might have one for contacts, one for books, one for music, one for... , all in the same GUI. Or to be able to connect the GUI to this or that one dynamically. 8. It should be GPL, of course, and included in Fedora! :-) Best, :-) Marko

Have I missed fix for 4.4 login problem?
by Dwight Paige 02 Mar '10

02 Mar '10

For me since upgrade to 4.4 [similar in openSuSE and Mandriva] when logging in I either have to hit enter really quick or login screen freezes. Autologin simply doesn't work. Oddly after login screen freezes I can select Shutdown then Cancel and it will login to the preselected user account. /etc.../kdmrc has been edited to autologin one specific user and same user with no pw [this being a one person box]. Should mention there are 3 user accounts in each distro. Autologin and login in general worked normally until upgrading to KDE 4.4 [same in SuSE and Mandriva]. I've been watching this list and don't recall seeing anything about this. Or did I miss it? Admittedly I don't work in front of a computer all day [printing pressman] and sometimes get busy and miss things... Though I have searched Fedora, Mandriva, and KDE forums and KDE bugzilla some what. -- Thanks, Dwight Paige If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.
