Anyone else seeing Kate fail at code folding?
by Arthur Pemberton 20 Dec '08

20 Dec '08

I've been using Kate for PHP and using it's folding very heavily of late on F9 stable. Several times I "lose" folds having to reopen the document to get back at the code. Anyone else seeing this? -- Fedora 9 : sulphur is good for the skin ( www.pembo13.com )

Alrighty, just to confirm for folks that I moved kde-4.1.85 stuff to kde-testing, and spun a new live image (mainly for the dbus thing): http://rdieter.fedorapeople.org/torrents/ f10-kde-4.1.85-3.torrent -- Rex

"Keep in mind this is *beta testing*. If you have essential data here, I'd strongly recommend you have ample backups." -- Rex Thanks, yes, I have backed up the akonadi database and have retained the old std.vcf/std.ics files. That should be sufficient.

Akonadi Confusion
by Petrus de Calguarium 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

I am using the latest akonadi from kde-testing with kde-4.2 beta. All seems to be working well, except for some confusion regarding the relationship between akonadi and the original resources, namely: When making changes, ie., adding or modifying a contact in addressmanager, or making a new appointment in korganizer, the akonadi resource is updated, but the std.ics and std.vcf files, the original resources, are never updated. Running aconadiconsole also has a sync function, but the original resources are not updated here, either. Were something to happen to the akonadi database, the resources would be useless, as they are out of date. Yes, I do realize that the akonadi tray manager has a backup and restore function, but, were one to rely solely on this, then what is the point of setting up the std.ics and std.vcf resources, since they will no longer contain current information?

Can't close systemsettings
by Anne Wilson 19 Dec '08

I guess this is a bug, but - There has been a thread on a kde list about minimising window decorations where screen space is an issue. Trying it out on my netbook, I found that Setting the Window Decoration to Laptop made a significant difference - thumbs up! :-) Then I found the snag - the three buttons on the title bar are maximise, minimise, and 'On all desktops'. There is no 'Close' button. I don't suppose this is anything that a user can change, but it's a pity. It really would have helped. Anne

"You can simply remove them, they're no longer needed after the migration." Kevin Kofler I was beginning to suspect that. Thanks. I do hope that the akonadi database is reliable, since I am entrusting my information to it and there will no longer be a text form available.

Request for libsynaptics to be added to F10, somewhere ?
by linux guy 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Some of us would like to use ksynaptics to control our touchpads. libsynaptics, supposedly a version that now works with ksynaptics, has been released for F9. Could it please be added to F10 /somewhere/ so that we can begin testing it ? I'd like ksynaptics to start working in the near future... Reference: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=462185 Thanks

powerdevil does it work?
by Neal Becker 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

I got what I think is powerdevil displayed on my panel (next to clock). When I left click I get a plasma. I chose suspend to ram when lid closed, but when I close the lid it does nothing. It worked with kpowersave (I believe that's the name of the older one?). If I choose suspend to ram manually in powerdevil it works. But not if I put it in the action for lid closing in the current (performance) profile.

Task Manager problem
by Eelko Berkenpies 19 Dec '08

19 Dec '08

Hi there, Not sure if it's a bug or not, but 4.1.85 doesn't seem to respect my Task Manager settings. Some in-depth info; I've set up my desktop to use 4 different desktops. Using the Special Windows Settings, I'm directing different applications to different desktops. For example Konsole is forced to be displayed on "shells" and Firefox/Shiretoko is forced to be displayed on "dev". I reserved one of the desktops for IM and other stuff and here's where the problem arises. When someone sends me an instant message (which also goes to a specific desktop) or when I launch an application it will display the window title in the Task Manager of the current desktop, even if it's the desktop it shouldn't be on. Then, when I click the windows title, it will send me to the correct desktop and the window title will be removed from the wrong desktop. I am using the option "Only show tasks from the current desktop". Any clues? -- Eelko Berkenpies http://www.berkenpies.nl/
