dolphin video preview for unknown video types
by Richard Z 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

Hi, in F12 I am trying to teach dolphin to generate thumbnail previews for "*.mts" (Panasonic AVHCD lite). Mplayer and many other players play it perfectly so I assume adding it to the list of known formats somewhere should do the trick - but can not find the right configuration file or checkbox to click. Thanks for any hints Richard

kde-4.5.3 seems really rough.
by linux guy 12 Nov '10

12 Nov '10

kde-4.5.3 seems really rough. - highlighting a block of text with the mouse cursor usually results in half of it being highlighted. The start point seems to move. - windows don't move nicely between monitors on a dual monitor setup. It generally takes several tries to get it moved. - windows are constantly automatically resizing when you only want to move them - konqueror is way less stable. Gives an error on every new page on the forums at www.dpreview.com , for example. F13, fully up to date with kde-testing enabled. $ yum list kdebase Installed Packages kdebase.i686 6:4.5.3-1.fc13 @kde-testing Thanks for listening.

Hi everyone, I have a Fedora 13 and Fedora 14 computer with the latest KDE 4.5.3 on it. In kcalc I can't use the '2' on the keyboard to enter numbers, it only works by mouse. Can someone reproduce this, or does someone know where to fix? Thanks Christoph

discovery regarding Spambayes and KMail
by Claude Jones 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

I've been running Spambayes since the early days when you had to set it up as a proxy server and do a lot of configuration through its web interface. A few versions back, Spambayes appeared to start to be included in the standard packages of a Fedora-KDE install (I could have details wrong here - but, I never manually selected it in fresh installs - maybe it's a KMail dependency now - I don't know); but, the standard install just sets it up as a filter without setting up the proxy server interface or the access to the configuration; long-time Spambayes users know about database bloat and decreasing efficacy of the filter, and the standard first trick was to simply delete the databases and restart training. The database is now down to one, is located at the root of your home folder and is called ".hammie.db" - deleting this file will cause it to be recreated the next time you run Kontact/Kmail with no data - In less than an hour yesterday after only minimally training on less than 50 messages, I went from dozens of spam messages an hour not being classified as such, down to a very few - overnight, my inbox only had about seven spams in it after 10+ hours, and that's after a very little training If you've never configured Spambayes with KMail, it's worth a shot; you'll find the anti-spam wizard in the 'Tools' menu -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA

kde-4.5.3 in kde-testing (f13,f14)
by Rex Dieter 10 Nov '10

10 Nov '10

Petrus beat me to it... :) but fyi, our initial batch of kde-4.5.3 packages (sans kde-l10n still working on that) are now in kde-testing (f13, f14 only for now, hopefully will find time to do f12 in the near future). So far so good, test test test. If we experience no badness in the next day or 2, we'll get these queue'd for updates-testing. -- Rex

Kajongg?
by Chris Smart 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi all, I seem to recall that new game Kajongg (not to be confused with Kmahjongg) was merged into KDE4 at some point, but I cannot see it in Fedora (apart from docs /usr/share/doc/HTML/en/kajongg). I've downloaded the kdegames source RPM and Kajongg is included in the tarball, but the spec file doesn't appear to build it. There's probably a good reason that it's not included - maybe it's not stable, maybe it doesn't have enough translations, or maybe no-one else noticed it :-) I thought I'd run it past the KDE list first, to get some thoughts. Thanks, -c
