qtcurve
by Petrus de Calguarium 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

I switched to qtcurve from oxygen a week ago. At first, I was somewhat dismayed that I would have to give up oxygen for a theme that simply does not completely clone the clean oxygen look in order to get the gtk applications to harmoniously fall in line. After a week of fine tuning and accustomizing myself... QtCurve is really a very nice piece of work!!!

KNode: same newsgroup, different locations
by Timothy Murphy 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

Is there any way of configuring KNode so that if one moves from one location with news-server A to another location with news-server B the same items are listed as seen in both cases? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Needing help with display problems
by Anne Wilson 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

My new laptop has an Intel WXGA video card - and I have no more detail than that. dpms identifies it as an "LCD panel 1280x1024", yet X insists that 1024x768 is the best it can do. That produces horrible distortions, so it's important to get this sorted. I tried commenting out the dpms option and adding a Modes line, but still I'm stuck with the same display. Running xrandr in konsole gives me Screen 0: minimum 640 x 480, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 61.0* 800x600 61.0 640x480 60.0 1024x600 0.0 Before I tried to fix things I think I was seeing 1024 x 600, as the 1024x768 does fill my screen, whereas the original display was taller than the screen. Any ideas what might be causing the problem, and what I could do about it? Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

screen locking flaky
by Neal Becker 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

I have powerdevil set to lock screen when idle more than 10 min. But, it seems to work at random. Sometimes I come to my laptop and it locked, other times (like just now I was away @a meeting for 1.5 hours), and it's not locked. This behavior seems to have started within the last several weeks.

How to test polkit-kde on F-12
by Radek Novacek 14 Apr '10

14 Apr '10

There has been some thoughts to add polkit-kde to Fedora 12 recently. I've made a test plan [1] to ensure that polkit-kde is ready to be integrated. Anyone who is interested can walk through few step from above mentioned test plan and tell us the result. You can add your feedback to that wiki page [1] or reply to this email directly.

Actually it's quite bad - own polkit agent is usually designed to be an integral part of it. For now - polkit-kde is standalone package but it's for now before transition from the old one to new one is done. Then we'd like to have it as part of kdebase-workspace again and shipped together. Of course - situation for other desktops could be different (Xfce etc.) and this has to be solved.

Hi Matthias. We were discussing polkit agent reorganization @ our kde sig meeting - cwickert joined us too [1]. Could you clarify autostart of the agent? I agree it should be task for desktop as it's now core component and I don't see need for users to change this configuration. But other question is - what about desktops without own polkit or even standalone wms? Another point is autostart desktop file - if the agent is going to be started by autostart desktop file, this autostart belongs to agent and should be distributed together in the agent package. Could be ShowOnlyIn option considered as the correct way to achieve no autostarting in other desktops?

Kdevelop RC not locating plugins
by Ravi 12 Apr '10

12 Apr '10

Hi, The kdevelop RC in kde-unstable (kdevelop-3.10.0-1.fc12.x86_64) has plugin loading issues; see error messages below. However, if I download the sources for kdevelop and kdevplatform directly, and build it myself, the plugins are found correctly. If I simply install kdevplatform-devel and build kdevelop by myself, the errors persist. I am not sure where the problem lies. Here's the console output of starting kdevelop (from the rpm): ---------------------------8<--------------------------------------- <unknown program name>(9751)/ KDevelop::allocateRepository: picked duchain directory "/home/rrajagop/.kdevduchain/{aae9945b-f354-4d84- bb4e-64e588a89635}/0" Calling appendChild() on a null node does nothing.
