KDE 4.5 libraries problem with Skype
by Manuel Escudero 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

I have installed Fedora 13 Goddard x86_64 in my machine and I've updated to KDE 4.5, in order to run Skype I installed some 32 bit Qt libraries and when I installed the new KDE desktop I had to remove them because KDE 4.4 uses the "1:4.6" version of these libraries and KDE 4.5 the "1:4.7"... Now I have KDE 4.5 and everything is fine but I can't run lastest Skype because it needs the "1:4.6" Qt libraries, it doesn't work with the new ones, but if I remove the new ones and I replace them with the older ones, many apps seem to be "downgraded" or they just don't work anymore... Does this mean we're not having Skype in Fedora 14 KDE Spin as it's going to be based on KDE 4.5? Many users need skype (in my case I'm running it in a Windows 7 VM) But without it we can't offer reliable "Videocalls" as they're not implemented in IM Clients Linux have. And please do not start with fanaticism about opensource, as I said in ambassadors mailing list: Quoted Mail: Well, I know about the free alternatives, what I'm discussing here is that many users USE SKYPE. We have free software but we can't tell those users who use skype: CANCEL YOUR SKYPE ACCOUNT BECAUSE NOW YOU'RE FREE. We, as ambassadors, are supposed to help the user and this is an issue that is going to affect many skype users in fedora 14 KDE unless someone finds a solution. Yes, we have free software, but tell me: Any of our free software supports skype's protocol? The answer is NO. and by "demonizing" skype's use you're commiting fanaticism... If GNU/LINUX and OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE is what matters to you, change to UTUTO or GNEWSENSE as Fedora isn't considered COMPLETELY OPEN SOURCE by the Gnu Foundation. I'm not gonna continue arguing... I'm open to solutions, not "empty opinions" And for me, it's sad that some ambassadors are not thinking in the future of the user... This is not the way to win "ground" in technologies battle... End of Quoted mail... P.S. Sorry for the words in capital letters. P.S.2: For me, the final user is as important as OpenSource and Fedora :) -- <-Manuel Escudero-> Linux User #509052 @GWave: jmlevick(a)googlewave.com @Blogger: http://www.blogxenode.tk/ (Xenode Systems Blog) PGP/GnuPG: DAE3 82E9 D68E 7AE4 ED31 1F8F 4AF4 D00C 50E7 ABC6

Hi, is there a particular reason why digikam is stuck with version 1.2? There are plenty of bugfixes in the new version(s). I have seen that F14 has got a build. Cheers Stefan

A question about sounds from Firefox while reading email
by George R Goffe 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Howdy, When I destroy an email while composing it I get a loud noise. I'm not sure where to look to turn this feature off. Could someone point me in the right direction please? Is it KDE? I'm at 4.4.2. This is a Kubuntu 10.04 system. Regards and THANKS for the pointer(s) and help, George... "It's not what you know that hurts you, It's what you know that ain't so." Wil Rogers

Kilpper search
by Patrick Boutilier 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Anybody else notice that with the 4.5.1 update you can't start typing to search the clipboard? I almost think it is designed that way because most of the entries in the clipboard now have a letter underscored and that entry gets chosen when you type the letter that is underscored. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=247919

unnecessary config files and dirs
by Dj YB 05 Sep '10

05 Sep '10

Hello, I have been dragging my home folder since fedora 10 and know that some problems I got are because of my configuration, few examples in kscreenlocker all the windows are black rectangles. akonadi requires restarts frequently to watch kaddressbook records so I wish to get rid of unnecessary configuration files and folders in my home folder. how do I start, how can I know for sure a directory is not being used for something. Thanks, YB.

Re: Beware of KDEPIM 4.4.93 in kde-unstable

I've unintentionaly updated kdepim, but I'd give it a try anyway, so no problem with this. It took "only" 1.5 hour with migrating dialog, then dialog dissappeared and akonadi processes were taking over 60 % cpu for another 1.5 hour (I have nepomuk indexing disabled). Unfortunatelly 1 migration of 10 accounts failed and it took another 1 hour to fix it: - I got funny report that it can't connect to server, because my password is wrong and error was: "SASL(0): successful result:" nothing more - then it allows you to change configuration/password of the account - I've changed it, but change did not happen at all. I had to change .kde/share/config/kmailrc by hand and replace imaps:SSL+PLAIN authentication to imap:STARTTLS+PLAIN - it required also changing mail server configuration, luckily it was one of the servers I administer (imap was not allowed there, only imaps) but now it seems working somehow: - meesage tags are gone - emails are not marked as read after displaying - opening configuration re- checking checkbox fixed this - number of unread emails in folder list is not changing

How to Set Routes with knetworkmanager and vpnc
by Garry Williams 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

I have these installed: knetworkmanager-vpnc-0.9-0.20.20100603.fc13.x86_64 knetworkmanager-0.9-0.20.20100603.fc13.x86_64 knetworkmanager-libs-0.9-0.20.20100603.fc13.x86_64 I have configured my employer's VPN successfully and have no problem connecting and disconnecting (modulo the persistent bug that crashes knetworkmanager when manipulating the menu). I need to define additional routes for this connection. I don't see a way to specify this. I am currently working around it by manually adding my routes, e.g, sudo route add -net <network> netmask <mask> dev tun0 Is there a configuration file I could modify? -- Garry T. Williams
