KDM crashes on startup
by Patrick O'Callaghan 23 Jun '10

23 Jun '10

F13 fully updated. kdm-4.4.3-1.fc13.1.x86_64 xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.8.0-12.fc13.x86_64 xorg-x11-drivers-7.3-14.fc13.x86_64 On rebooting after the last update, I get a console instead of the KDM login screen. This is what I see in /var/log/messages: Jun 3 00:35:09 bree kdm: :0[27754]: Fatal X server IO error: Interrupted system call I can run KDE via xstart so it's not the end of the world, but obviously I'd like to fix this. My video is Intel an 82Q963/Q965 on the mobo. Remember, in F13 Intel video only works with KMS. I don't see any KDM-related bugs in Fedora BZ, so I'll file it if necessary. poc

Shutdown Issue
by Eli Wapniarski 22 Jun '10

22 Jun '10

Hi All I was wondering if anyone else has any experience with this. A colleague at work recently upgraded from F12 to 13 on his Dell Inspirion 1545 with an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4330. Everything seems to be working just fine, except, when he initiates a shutdown it hangs at the end. I think it might have something to do with the opensource driver, because when he had the proprietary driver installed from rpmfusion for F12 there was no such issue. When he had the opensource driver installed in F12 before the proprietary driver became available, his computer experienced the same issue. Now that there is no proprietary driver available for F13 again he is forced to use the opensource driver. Mind you, the performance has improved immensely, but he still can't shutdown the computer correctly. Any ideas Eli

color scheme, exclude applications
by Dj YB 21 Jun '10

21 Jun '10

hello, I have this little problem, I like a specific color scheme but unfortunately it's not suitable for all applications. for example Kmail and Kontact in general looks great with it but OpenOffice apps are unusable, can't see a thing. so my question is if and how can I exclude an application from the color scheme or perhaps apply to it specifically a different color scheme. thanks, YB.

Cursor icon
by Timothy Murphy 20 Jun '10

20 Jun '10

What determines which cursor icon is used within applications? I'm trying to use qcad and inkscape to trace a house plan, and need a sharp pointer, but get a hand icon instead. Is there any way of getting the pointer I want? -- 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

Just updated 4.4.85
by Eli Wapniarski 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

First off congrats on the packaging everything updated smooth as silk. Now given all the complaints and finally seeing things with my own eyes. :( Might I suggest a development branch in the repository? If I recall correctly, there were many mentions that functionality will return as the development progresses for the push to 4.5. However, in the meantime a development branch would allow the updates and testing development versions such as 4.4.85 while continuing to allow for as cautious as possible testing of more stable versions, from the time they are initially pushed (unstable) to considered stable (but of course with the testing done by a relatively small number of users - kde-redhat.testing) to more wide spread testing (testing) to final release (updates). As it stands 4.4.85 yuch :P - eek!. :o Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Slight Firefox problem
by Timothy Murphy 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Apologies if this is not a KDE problem (I'm running Fedora-13/KDE), but the slide control on the right of the Firefox window does not seem to work properly nowadays. If I click on the downward arrow the view starts going down the page and there is no way of stopping it until the slide control has reached the bottom. In effect, the only way of reading a long page is to use the space bar to go down one window-full. The down arrow on the keyboard sometimes works, but not always. I'm wondering if there is some setting I could make. -- 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

Slightly OT: tracing a bit-map
by Timothy Murphy 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

My excuse for asking this question here is that I'm running Fedora 13 with KDE. I've scanned a house plan as a JPEG, and would like to convert this for use with qcad. Can anyone suggest a simple way of doing this? QCad does not seem to offer any way of tracing a bit map. -- 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

kde 4.4.80-1 & 4.4.85
by tJohn Rosich 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Thanks for the releases. We've been running the rawhide and Fedora 13 versions (86_64 and i686 - fully updated) for a few weeks now and have the following comments to date (comments apply to both versions): 1. Dolphin crashes - it always happens when the cursor is positioned over a '.rpm' file. Other times, it crashes spontaneously. No error messages in either case. 2. Slow response - while the response time between initiating an action (for example, deleting a file) and it's successful completion is generally speedy/normal, on occasion (1 out of 7-8 times) the turn-over time is very slow. For example, the system took about 45 seconds to delete a 11KB file before we could proceed to the next activity in that folder (which, btw, was deletion of a 5 MB file --- the turnover was virtually instantaneous). 3. Desktop settings - on all machines, our custom background settings were replaced by the default setting. With '80.1' this happened only when it was installed; with the '.85' edition, the replacement happens on each reboot. Systems -- i686 and x86_64 Fedora 14 with above kde and latest updates. In all cases, these are fresh installs. We've tried logging in as a regular user, new user and root with the same result. We appreciate help in resolving these issues. John

knetworkmanager and 'enable networking' option
by Rex Dieter 17 Jun '10

17 Jun '10

To address, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=598765 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=238325 where knetworkmanager lacks an 'enable networking' option, like what both the plasmoid nm and nm-applet have, I've put some builds into kde-testing repo (f12,f13) for testing and feedback. Requires: kdebase-workspace-4.4.4-2 (the rest of kde-4.4.4 is in updates-testing) knetworkmanager-0.9-0.20.20100603 Let me know how it goes. -- Rex
