Problem with kmail.
by Dragseth Roy Einar 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi. First of all, thanks for all the great work you all are doing in maintaining this beast called KDE! I've got a problem which can be described as follows: When I've read a message in my inbox and move to the next unread one by hitting the +-button, then the message I'm moving from isn't deselected. So when I hit the delete button to delete the current message I'm also deleting the one I read before. This is quite annoying, esp. when the previous one is outside the visible part of the message list, then you have no clue that you deleted another mail too. I can work around this by hitting + - LeftArrow - RightArrow as that will clear the previous selection, but it becomes a bit strainful on my fingers when I come to work on Monday morning... Anyone else seeing this? I could not find any bugreports related to this at the kde website so I thought I'd ask here first. KDE Version 1.11.0 (KDE 4.2.00 (KDE 4.2.0), 4.2.0-15.fc10 Fedora) Application E-Mail Client Operating System Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.15-170.2.24.fc10.x86_64 Compiler gcc r. -- The Computer Center, University of Tromsø, N-9037 TROMSØ Norway. phone:+47 77 64 41 07, fax:+47 77 64 41 00 Roy Dragseth, Team Leader, High Performance Computing Direct call: +47 77 64 62 56. email: roy.dragseth(a)uit.no

Widget Configuration file
by Reuben D. Budiardja 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hello, I accidentally removed the QuickLaunch widget that I painstakingly arranged just now. After I added it, of course all my configuration for that particular widget is gone. However, I have my daily backup of my home directory. Is there a file that I can just restore to get my old configuration back ? Thanks. RDB

(OT) python file-truncate on fc10 zero-fills file: who to ask?
by John Pilkington 11 Mar '09

11 Mar '09

Hi: I'm asking here because this is the most fc10-oriented list that I use and I thought someone might know the answer. I'd be happy to ask elsewhere but don't know where might be the best place. I'm trying to do shrink-to-fit with video files on fc10 after tcrequant was deprecated. vamps looks as if it will do the job but I think I need to chop off a few kb from the end of the input file first to avoid a failure exit. I can do this with dd but that's slow and file truncation would be better. I can't see a command-line truncate but since I am hacking the mythburn.py script I thought I had found the answer here, in truncate([size]) : http://www.python.org/doc/2.5.2/lib/bltin-file-objects.html I've tried that. The file size shrinks as required but the result is zero-filled. Here's some stripped-down test code: vobsize = os.path.getsize(source) write("Initial vobsize is %s bytes" % vobsize) vobsize -= 2048 f=open(source,'wb') f.truncate( vobsize ) f.close() vobsize = os.path.getsize(source) write("vobsize after truncation is %s bytes" % vobsize) Is this a known problem with python, or in its fc10 implementation? Where would be the best place to ask how to do this job? TIA John Pilkington

Plasma from KDE 4.2.1-3.FC10 segfaults at KDE startup (Fedora 10 / x86_64)
by Chris January 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

I have installed KDE 4.2.1-3.FC10 from the kde-redhat kde-testing repository and plasma segfaults when KDE is starting up. Can anyone tell me how to work out what's wrong? I have also opened a kde-redhat Sourceforge bug tracker ticket: 2667738 but I'm not sure if that's the correct place to report bugs. Backtrace: This backtrace appears to be of no use. This is probably because your packages are built in a way which prevents creation of proper backtraces, or the stack frame was seriously corrupted in the crash.

Anyone interested in packaging Kvkbd for Fedora-KDE?
by Kyle 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

Hello, I have been looking for a virtual keyboard application in KDE that runs on Fedora and there doesn't seem to be one. There is one for general Linux users via a tarball. The application that I am talking about is Kvkbd, here is the link----> http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Kvkbd+-+KDE4?content=94374 . I think this would be a great app to have for Fedora since there isn't one included. Its an accessability app too and it would help those who have trouble typing on a keyboard. I am willing to help test the pkg. Kyle

Windows Opening Up On Top of Each Other
by Eli Wapniarski 07 Mar '09

07 Mar '09

I've got a dual screen setup. Does anyone know how to prevent Windows from Opening up ontop of each other. What I mean is lets say I;m looking at some mail, and then I open up Konqueror, I'm still looking at my mail, but then Konqueror opens up ontop of the application that I'm looking at. I would very much like it if Konqueror opened up someplace else, lets say on the other screen. Does anyone know how I can make KDE behave this way or in some similar fashion.
