Error in US Daylight Savings Time
by Neal Becker 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

I just noticed that korganizer is telling me that DST begins April 5. I'm guessing this is coming from: /home/nbecker/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics ?? How to fix it?

Shutdown doesn't power off
by Anne Wilson 09 Apr '09

09 Apr '09

Hehe - I've just done my first 'hack' - which really means that I made an intelligent guess and it's cured the problem :-) On Tuesday night I set the netbook to shut down, and went to bed leaving it 'doing it's thing'. Next morning I saw a blank but lit screen. Last night I stayed with it and saw the message /etc/rc0.d/S01halt: line 178: [: missing ']' In fact the ']' is not missing, but it needs a space in front of it, after which I now have a clean shutdown.

Why Do I See some gnome stuff running on my system?
by Eli Wapniarski 08 Apr '09

08 Apr '09

Hi Everyone. Can somebody answer me why I see gnome-keyring-daemon gconf-im-settings, gconfd-2, running when I'm not running a single gnome app on my system? Does anyone else see this behavior.

Odd behaviour of Dolphin with pendrives
by Patrick O'Callaghan 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

I don't use Dolphin much, being more of a command-line traditionalist, but recently I turned off the automatic Nautilus pop-up that would appear whenever I inserted a pendrive (I don't recall ever configuring it but it was just there). However the pop-up did have one useful feature, viz. that it showed me progress during slow copies of large files. Imagine my surprise when I tried to do the same with Dolphin. 1) No auto pop-up. This is probably a setting somewhere and hence my fault. For now I just click on the drive icon in the Kickoff menu, though a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated. 2) While copying to the drive, if you have the "free space" indicator enabled it dutifully decrements as the file is copied. However the detailed folder display does *not* show the target file changing size unless you hit F5, i.e. Dolphin shows inconsistent information. This is teeth-grindingly ridiculous but not really a show-stopper. 3) On unmounting the drive (click on the drive icon and select "safely unmount") the pending writes are flushed and the drive is unmounted, *but the pop-up window doesn't go away*! Not only that, you can click on a file and the system will try to open it, followed shortly by an obscure error message when it fails. This is just absurd. I hate to say it, but Nautilus has Dolphin beat hands down in this respect (which is the only thing I really use it for). Am I missing something obvious or is this known/expected behaviour? poc

Marble update problem?
by Anne Wilson 07 Apr '09

07 Apr '09

Several days ago there was some talk about marble not updating, due to a missing package. I've calmly gone on using skip-broken to get around this, but I'm still seeing the problem. What is this libgps package? Where do I find it? Yum tells me 'nothing to do', 'rpm -qa whatprovides libgps' just drops back to a prompt.

New mail notification in Kmail (kde 4.2.2)
by Martin Kho 06 Apr '09

06 Apr '09

Hi, I've set up Kmail as a IMAP-client for gmail. No notification message pops up, when new mail arrives. To see if there is new mail, I've to enter all my folders. Under Settings --> Configure notifications I've chosen to get a pop up a notification message and a mark on the taskbar. Anyone else seen this behavior? Can I alter this? Or ... is it a bug/regression? Thanks, Martin
