Java stopped working in Konqueror
by Patrick O'Callaghan 26 Apr '10

26 Apr '10

I don't use Java much (basically just for the New York Times Acrostic puzzle every two week) but it seems to have stopped working. It definitely did work 2 weeks ago, and I'm not aware of changing anything in either Java or the configuration of Konq. In fact the config looks fine, the Java binary exists, Java is enabled on all pages, I cleaned the Konq cache and reloaded, and nothing works. Not even the Java test page at http://java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml kdebase-4.4.2-1.fc12.x86_64, F12 fully updated "Path to Java executable": java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-37.b17.fc12.x86_64 Opening the same page in Firefox works. FF uses the same Java rpm, but with the plugin /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/IcedTeaPlugin.so poc

konqueror and gmail
by Charles Zeitler 25 Apr '10

25 Apr '10

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. when i try to edit the input box on gmail ("compose" or "reply") in standard view, using view mode KHTML, konqueror freezes up for a few seconds, then crashes. switching to "basic HTML" avoids this. Webkit can't seem to load gmail here. does anybody else have these problems? charles zeitler Love is the law, love under will.

phonon-4.4.1 in kde-testing
by Rex Dieter 24 Apr '10

24 Apr '10

Just a heads-up, and a possible warning. phonon-4.4.1 was recently released, and I've built it and put it into kde-testing repos. Testing myself on f13 using phonon-backend-xine results in no audio. -gstreamer backend seems fine. I commented such on freenode irc in #phonon already. If anyone can confirm this badness, I'll pull the builds out of -testing -- Rex

who broke matplotlib?
by Neal Becker 23 Apr '10

23 Apr '10

Any clues? My program (read_data.py) is using matplotlib to do plot(); show(). When the plot appears, and I hit the 'save' button, a dialog window _starts_ to appear (it's partially transparant and rather screwed up), and I get this: python read_data.py (9217) KSycocaPrivate::openDatabase: Trying to open ksycoca from "/var/tmp/kdecache-nbecker/ksycoca4" kfilemodule(9217): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''. " kfilemodule(9217): couldn't create slave: "Unable to create io-slave: klauncher said: Unknown protocol ''. " Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Best of luck. :-) There was no earlier version in my yum log. I've searched koji, and there's only one F13 version. The log definitely shows it installed today, so what was used for the same job before is anybody's guess. In the morning I'll check the install DVD - see if it's there. Maybe it used an F12 one before today. I'll leave the laptop on overnight, and try again in the morning. Anne

New xorg update gives horrible display
by Anne Wilson 22 Apr '10

22 Apr '10

I presume it's the new Intel-xorg driver that's causing it, but the display is truly horrible now. I also checked whether compositing is possible - it still isn't.
