Ping Rex
by Anne Wilson 22 Dec '09

22 Dec '09

Rex, some time ago you told me the best way to start gpg-agent under Fedora. Unfortunately I can't find the message, and I have problems with agent on the F10 netbook and the newly repaired CentOS 5.2 box. If you could tell me again I'll make sure that it is easily found - a gpg page has been started on userbase, so I could put it there. Anne

Lost systray icons
by Anne Wilson 03 Apr '09

03 Apr '09

Since a crash yesterday I have lost most of the systray icons. I've tried renaming plasma-appletsrc, and lost even more. Now I only see the icons for battery/mains power and knetworkmanager icons (before the rename I also had the NM-applet and half! of the notifier). Hovering over the space left shows the popup for all the icons I'd expect to see. Restarting plasma after the rename gives [anne@AA1 config]$ plasma QLayout: Attempting to add QLayout "" to QWidget "", which already has a layout plasma(9264)/kdecore (KService) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "/usr/share/kde4/services/sysinfo.protocol" has Type= "Application" but no Exec line Object::connect: Attempt to bind non-signal TaskManager::TaskGroup::editRequest() QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver plasma(9264)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(-22, 26) plasma(9264)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) plasma(9264)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(-22, 26) plasma(9264)/libplasma Plasma::FrameSvg::resizeFrame: Invalid size QSizeF(0, 0) QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver [anne@AA1 config]$ QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver QCoreApplication::postEvent: Unexpected null receiver Any ideas for recovering the icons?

much of KDE freezes for 20 seconds (includes strace output)
by Hans Ecke 01 Apr '09

01 Apr '09

Hi there- Ever since I switched from KDE 3.5 (F8) to KDE 4.2 (F10) I have this problem: When: * starting a KDE application, for instance konqueror * opening the start menu * attempting to add a new event in korganizer What happens: (example: new konqui instance) Konqueror appears. By default for me it appears in a blank window. However when trying to input anything in the location bar it does not take any input. In fact, it does not even redraw itself if I minimize it and then restore. It remains frozen like this for about 20 seconds. Then everything is normal again. Once that happens everything is fine for a while (10 minutes or so). New konqueror windows come up and are responsive just fine. But if I don't do anything for a while the problem reappears. What happens: (example: new event in korganizer) I double-click on a time in korganizer. A "New Event" window comes up. Similar to the konqueror example, it draws itself completely, but then becomes nonresponsive and does not redraw itself. Becomes responsive again after about 20 seconds. What happens: (example: start menu) I click on the start menu. It appears as a black square with rounded corners, obscuring the desktop and windows underneath. In other words, different from the examples above it does not draw itself before freezing. It unfreezes after 20 seconds. Speculation: Some service is failing and KDE takes 20 seconds to notice that or to try and start it. How do I debug that? I attached an strace log, but that is very opaque. Scroll down the timestamps and you see the big jump at 07:50:38.674661 and at 07:50:49.615261. Two select() calls that take 10 and 15 seconds, respectively. I guess file descriptor 7 is its connection to DBUS? Any help would be appreciated. This is very frustrating..... Cheers Hans

F11-Beta KDE Live x86_64 is i586?
by Martin Kho 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I'm not sure if this question belongs to this list. Today I downloaded Fedora 11 Beta KDE LiveCD 64bit - F11-Beta- x86_64-Live.iso - and I got the 32bit (i586) version. Did anyone else experienced this? I downloaded the iso from the mirror fedora.tu-chemnitz.de in Germany. Do I have to try another mirror? Thanks, Martin Kho

[KDE4.2] System freezes when laptop lid is closed.
by ap 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi Group, I have a Dell Inspion laptop which runs Fedora 10 with KDE4.2. When my laptop lid kept closed for more than 30 minutes, my system freezes. I have given option to lock the screen while closing the lid in the Power Management. and for a short time period ( < 30 mins) it works fine. After 30 minutes i get a blue screen and a mouse pointer. I can move the mouse but no login window is coming. (If it is monitor stand by, how to recover from this state?) Laptop was running on AC while noticed the above scenario. I didn't checked this on battery power. I use "Performance" profile for "running on AC". and also tried disabling Monitor Power Management. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Anoop

Gpg broken again
by Anne Wilson 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Today Gpg has stopped working again. I presume it is down to the upgrade I did a few hours ago. I tried replacing pubring with a known good version, just in case there actually was some corruption, but it made no difference. Neither kgpg nor KMail offer me any keys - just a blank sheet.

Has kmenueditor disappeared? I thought I had seen it since I moved to KDE4, but I could be mistaken. Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

Laptop security
by Anne Wilson 28 Mar '09

28 Mar '09

Considering how many of us use laptops, I wonder if Adeona might be a useful package to have in the stable? It's a laptop recovery tool, for use after loss. It is GPL http://adeona.cs.washington.edu/index.html but it depends, at the moment, on OpenDHT and I haven't seen a license notice for that.
