So far all I've seen is what appears to be a GNOME only solution.

How to choose the main monitor when using double monitors in KDE SC 4.5 (Fedora 14)
by Robin Lee 06 Oct '10

06 Oct '10

Hello! With this setting[1] (see attached display-settings.png), KDE always places the menu bar on VGA1 and considers VGA1 as Display 1, and the whole display turns ugly when using double monitors[2] ( see attached Fedora14-KDE-netbook.png). But I want to choose LVDS1 as the main monitor and where to place the menu bar. How can I get it? With the same setting, KDE SC 4.4 (Fedora 13) always uses LVDS1 as main monitor and works all like what I expect, so I was not bothered.

Non-default desktop validation testing for F14 final
by Adam Williamson 05 Oct '10

05 Oct '10

Hi, folks. Just an update on desktop validation testing for F14 final (we'll hit the TC stage next week). I've been chatting to a few people about the idea of having bugs in desktop validation outside of GNOME block releases, and there turn out to be quite a lot of questions involved in terms of how exactly the project as a whole views the various spins and desktops. I'm happy to discuss this in more detail (oh, so much boring detail) if anyone's interested, but the upshot is that basically we're going to have to ask the board for clarification on a few things about the exact status of non-default desktops and spins. In the meantime, given the conclusion, I agreed with others in the release process (QA and releng) that for F14 Final (and we did this for Beta too) we'll consider failures in the desktop validation testing for LXDE and XFCE to be nice-to-have bugs under the new NTH process, rather than blockers. That means we'll take fixes for them through the release freeze, but won't hold the release for them. Failures in desktop validation testing for GNOME and KDE will be considered blockers. Once we have the wider questions sorted out one way or another, we'll take another look at the status of failures in LXDE and XFCE, and any other desktops/spins we extend validation testing to for F15 (I'm looking at Sugar and Meego for that time). But for now, just a heads-up that we'll be treating XFCE/LXDE validation issues as nice-to-have for Final.

kde-4.5.2 - kde-plasma-yawp problem
by Colin J Thomson 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi, Just updated to 4.5.2 and had a slight problem with plasma crashing at start up, it turns out kde-plasma-yawp was the problem: ## plasma-desktop: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/kde4/ion_accuweather.so: undefined symbol: _ZN12IonInterface14resetCompletedEPS_b <unknown program name>(24314)/: Communication problem with "plasma-desktop" , it probably crashed. ## Removing kde-plasma-yawp and plasma-desktop started fine, all is looking good.. kde-plasma-yawp.i686 0:0.3.4-1.fc13 qt-4.7.0-5.fc13.i686 Colin -- Fedora release 13 (Goddard) Registered Linux user number #342953

kmix not handling multiple audio devices correctly in 4.5?
by Andreas Petzold 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Hi, I'm running kde 4.5.1 on F13. If I plug in a usb sound device, audio output switches to the usb device since I've set the usb device to be preferred in phonon system settings. However, kmix doesn't switch the master channel to the preferred device. I can switch the kmix master channel manually, but I would expect that this will happen automatically. Is anyone else seeing a similar problem, or do I have a botched pulse/phonon/... config? Cheers, Andreas

Hi, I've just wanted to change default app for jpeg files, but System Settings->File Associations is gone. It was in advanced tab in KDE 4.4, but I can't see it nowhere in 4.5 Was it moved somewhere where I can't find it or is it a bug? Cheers, Michal

Grip freezes KDE session.
by linux guy 02 Oct '10

02 Oct '10

I'm ripping a few CDs using grip. I rip the first one and everything is fine. It ejects when done. When I start ripping the second one, my KDE session freezes. All is well if I exit the session and start a new one. Anyone else experience this ?
