I've no idea what those 'special dates' are. It's enabled on my Summary view, and it says I don't have any for the next 7 days, while a whole list of appointments are listed as uup-coming events. I wonder if the 'special days' are taken from the holidays list - do you have a holidays calendar configured? If you'd like me to try to get more info about that plugin from the developers I'm happy to try. > I still have an error message when "calendar / do-dos list" views are > enabled in the summary module when exiting: > "unknown error (no transaction in progress)". > I think this one is related to kabc though. > I don't think so. I think it is an akonadi/mysql message, related to the fact that the calendar resource is not really ported to akonadi. We can register it as a resource, but like the std.vcf resource, it isn't the 'full monty'. I filed a bug report (bugs.kde.org) on those messages a long time ago, just so that the developers were aware that we were seeing them. I suspect that, because they are harmless, we should just ignore them untill 4.5 comes along. Anne

unable to report kdebase-runtime crashes due to missing debug info.
by moabi2000 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

Hi, I'm running F13 beta, and get regular nepomuk-related crashes in kdebase-runtime reported by abrt. The system freezes for a few seconds each time. I'd like to report this, but the correct debuginfo packages do not appear to be available. (I have 4.4.2 installed). Anything I can do about this? Package: kdebase-runtime-4.4.2-2.fc13 Latest Crash: Wed 21 Apr 2010 12:46:54 PM Command: /usr/bin/nepomukservicestub nepomukstrigiservice Reason: Process /usr/bin/nepomukservicestub was killed by signal 11 (SIGSEGV) Comment: None Bug Reports: Cheers M.

kontact not working - missing files
by Dj YB 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

hello, I have tried the pim-users list but got no solution. when I start kontact the next files are reported missing and the program dies. ~/.kde/share/apps/kontact/local-todo.rc ~/.kde/share/apps/kontact/local-.rc ~/.kde/share/apps/kontact/default-.rc this has something to do with the summary module since it only started after choosing it, and now it is the default and I can't run kontact at all. this problem started after the update to 4.4.2 Fedora 11 please help, YB.

Peculiar behaviour of akonadi
by Anne Wilson 21 Apr '10

21 Apr '10

Among the problems I'm having with F13 is the very strange behaviour of akonadi. I had been running kontact earlier, and shut it down. While trying to troubleshoot this problem I've used System Activity Monitor to close the left-behind threads, I've tried logging out to clear any left-overs, and I've even rebooted. The situation now is this: A kontact tab sits in my taskbar - but I can't access kontact. The 'Starting Akonadi server....' progress bar has been running back and forth for several minutes. Nepomuk is running, Strigi isn't. $ akonadictl status Akonadi Control: running Akonadi Server: running Akonadi Server Search Support: available (backend: Virtuoso) This is after an 'akonadictl stop' and 'akonadictl start'.

PyQt applications segmentation fault issues
by Jeremy Sanders 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Hi - after the recent PyQt4 upgrade I'm seeing segmentation faults with PyQt4 applications when exiting or starting. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=583951 Is anyone else seeing these? Try installing PyQt4-devel and run $ python /usr/share/doc/PyQt4- devel-4.7.2/examples/dialogs/standarddialogs.py [exit program] Segmentation fault (core dumped) xpc1:~:$ python /usr/share/doc/PyQt4- devel-4.7.2/examples/demos/qtdemo/qtdemo.py Segmentation fault (core dumped) This is under the KDE desktop. I also see a blank table model view in my own code, but that is a bit harder to reproduce. Jeremy

F13 - KDE will only run in failsafe session
by Anne Wilson 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

KDE is now stable on my new laptop (latest Intel graphics driver) - as long as I stick to 'KDE failsafe mode'. That seems to disable compositing - but I don't know what else is missing? I renamed my plasma-desktoprc and plasma-desktop-appletsrc, to start clean sessions, but that hasn't cleared the issues. Any ideas? While I can accept this as a temporary situation, I'd like to track the problem down, before filing a bug report.

Ping Kevin Kofler
by Anne Wilson 20 Apr '10

20 Apr '10

Since you recommend using gnash I decided to try it again - it's a long time since I tried it before. Can you play the video on http://brunoabinader.blogspot.com/2010/04/new-kid-on-block-plasma-water- animation.html ? I installed gnash* and it pulled in two more packages as dependencies, but trying to play this brought a message about needing another plugin. When I allowed it to search I lost the message, thought I'm fairly sure it had gstreamer in the name. Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org
