Filtering sent mail in KMail2
by Marko Vojinovic 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi folks! :-) After the main KMail2 rants have passed, I guess it is my turn to report a problem... ;-) After composing a new mail, I hit send, and after sending I expect the local copy of my message to be filtered into a relevant folder, as I configured it (before you ask --- yes, I did turn on the option "apply this filter to sent messages" in the filter settings). But it doesn't happen, the message gets put and stays in the default sent-mail folder, instead of where I want it to go. The filter itself is ok, since I can later go to sent-mail, select the message, choose "apply all filters" from the menu (or press ctrl-j), and then the filter works as expected, moving the message into the appropriate folder. So it does work on manual filtering, but not automatically after the message has been sent. So as a workaround, after I finish writing all e-mails, I usually go to sent- mail, select everything, apply all filters, and be done with it. But it is slowly starting to get on my nerves, since this is really something that should be done automatically (and was automatic in KMail1...). Is anyone else seeing this? I'd appreciate any advice/hints/info. Btw, using up-to-date F16/KDE, and so far KMail2 works well for me, no other problems. Best, :-) Marko

Weird ConsoleKit message
by Peter G. 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

I just rebooted and upon logging in, after typing my password, a message appeared, approximately this one: Warning! Could not open ConsoleKit session. Could not open session. I don't recall, but I think there was only one button, that said OK. I pressed it and the login occurred, but I couldn't get messages with knode, only a couple of systray icons appeared, and when I tried to log out, no logout choices appeared and the system appeared to hang, then after quite some time, it logged out by itself. I logged back in and now everything seems fine. I am using updates-testing and kde-unstable, all up-to-date. Is this a bug?

subject says it all. I currently don't have a f15 box handy, so was actually able to do any install/runtime testing myself, so feedback would be appreciated. -- rex

kmail2 question on Fedora 15
by Lester M Petrie 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi I have finally gotten kmail2 to run on my Fedora 15 machine. I ended up using an entirely different mail directory. I was able to import the mail from the old directories into new versions. But I do have one annoying problem. My mail is delivered directly to the machine, and spooled to /var/mail/user-id. kmail was configured to go check the spool periodically, move the mail into my inbox, and delete the mail from the spool. I haven't found a way to get kmail2 to do this. Currently I have added the spool as another mailbox, and when mail shows up, I manually move it, and then manually run a script to delete it from the spool. How do I setup kmail2 to do the previous behavior? Thanks. -- Lester M Petrie 865-574-5259 petrielmjr(a)ornl.gov

kde focus stealing
by Chris Rouch 13 Dec '11

13 Dec '11

I'm running kde (4.7.3 on F16 currently). I have 6 desktops in 2 rows of 3I have different applications configured to start on different desktops, so the web browser will be on one, office apps on another, mail client on another, with other applications (e.g konsole) able to start anywhere. I don't want the desktop to switch when an application is mapped, but I do want newly mapped applications to appear at the top layer, at least for the current desktop and ideally for all. is this possible? and if so how? With older versions of kde (on F14 for example), I could make the desktop not switch by setting focus stealing prevention to either high or extreme, but this would often result in new windows appearing in layers below the current one. And of course it's possible that the combination of settings i have is making things worse. I'd have thought this was a reasonably common way of working, so I'm sure there must be a way. Any help will be appreciated. Regards, Chris

WYSYWIG for HTML5
by Peter G. 12 Dec '11

12 Dec '11

Years ago, I used to build my web page with Quanta, which was included in kdedevelop, I think. Is it or something similar still available? I only need support for html5, no legacy versions.

4.7.90 Dolphin drag/drop
by Colin J Thomson 11 Dec '11

11 Dec '11

Hi, I have just noticed when dragging a file from the main window to the side panel in Dolphin does not work now, no menu pops up asking copy or move the file. This results in the file not being copied or moved. Copying a file/folder to folder in the main window (split or single view) is fine. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288766 Colin -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) Registered Linux user number #342953

Re: kde-4.7.4, kde-4.7.90 news
by Colin J Thomson 11 Dec '11

Hi, Well all in all 4.7.90 is quite stable. I have not yet got to the bottom the screen turning off, I disabled the screen saver this morning as a temp fix and the screen never turned off. I have since turned the screen saver back on now that does not work... I need to run more "logical" tests next week. Something does seem to be toggling DPMS on even though I have it set to off in my bash_profile Kmail2 in this release has seen many fixes and is working quite well, I even setup my Gmail for IMAP to test.. all went smoothly. I have however found a small problem when replying to an email with attachments, they are included in the reply: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=288755 Virtuoso seems to have settled down, but we will see what happens on the next login.

temp kmix solution (4.7.90)
by Colin J Thomson 10 Dec '11

10 Dec '11

Hi, Well sadly Kmix is unusable here, over time it just drags my machine to a crawl so I have disabled it :-( I did some searching for an alternative and came across pnmixer in fedora's repo's, it is an old version old and limited but does the job that I use Kmix for. I did try and build an RPM for the current version that has more features but it threw up a error about something defined in DSO and try adding it to the linker... I'd need to read up on that one.. https://github.com/nicklan/pnmixer/wiki Cheers Colin -- Fedora release 16 (Verne) Registered Linux user number #342953
