Debuginfo packages take too much disk space
by Anne Wilson 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Is it not possible to split the debuginfo package into smaller units? In order to report a single bug I had to install 3.1GB of debuginfo packages. It does seem excessive. Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

KDE & Desktop Effect with Nvidia GeForce 8600GT
by Armelius Cameron 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Hello, One of our machines has the following card (as reported by lspci): VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G84 [GeForce 8600GT] (rev a1) I have F14 x86-64 on the machine, fully updated. I use the shipped nouveau driver. I tried to enable desktop effect but a pop-up box says that it cannot enable desktop effect after I hit "Apply". I tried both OpenGL and XRender for compositing option. Is this a known problem ? Is there a website that lists what nvidia cards can use the full 3D of nouveau and desktop effect (esp. with KDE) ? I have another machine that uses nvidia GeForce GTX 260 that works just fine with F14 and desktop effect (using XRender). Do those cards use different driver? I hope I am asking the right list here. Thank you. AC

ignores file for unison?
by Bill McGonigle 19 Apr '11

19 Apr '11

Hi, all, Is anybody using unison to sync home directories under KDE environments? I'm hoping to find a list of files (in .kde, .config, .local/share, etc.) to exclude from unison. These would be the ones that need to be generated on the local computer and should not be used in a shared (disparate hardware) environment. NFS clusters would probably have the same need. unison has an 'include' directive, so if somebody had a list it could be easily shared, maybe even packaged. -Bill -- Bill McGonigle, Owner BFC Computing, LLC http://bfccomputing.com/ Telephone: +1.603.448.4440 Email, IM, VOIP: bill(a)bfccomputing.com VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf Social networks: bill_mcgonigle/bill.mcgonigle

KDE on a tablet ? (Dell Inspiron Duo)
by linux guy 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

I received a Dell Inspiron Duo this week. http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/inspiron-duo/pd Its a netbook that converts into a tablet. I love it even though its running Windows 7. Its a highly under appreciated device. I'd like to run Fedora on it, KDE of course. I'm wondering what, if any, support KDE has for touch operation, including a pop up virtual keyboard, scrolling, etc. Thanks.

Theme customization causes "dark" theme always
by Gene Smith 17 Apr '11

17 Apr '11

On the system settings, desktop theme page you can select the overall theme OK. However, if you try to customize a themes using the "details" tab it doesn't seem to work right. For example, if your overall theme is "Laughlin" but you want widgets to be something else, like "Aya" and you choose that, *all* desktop items, the panel, widgets, kicker etc, all assume a blackish theme. If you log off and back on it doesn't help. Also, if you just set widgets back to the original Laughlin setting, it has no effect. You have to return to the theme tab, select another theme and then select Laughlin again to clear the "dark" theme. I do have a few dark themes installed such as "slim glow" and "oxygen" but they aren't selected. A quick search of the bugs.kde.org found no mention of this specific problem. Note: Even if a non-existent item like "Analog Clock" (that I don't have) is selected for customization, it causes all items to be customized to the dark theme. Oh yes, this is kde 4.6.1 and f14/x86_64 I am using. Never tried this with earlier versions. Also, see this on more than one system (both use the default radeon/mesa driver, which might be relevant). Finally, this problem sounds somewhat similar to this posting to this list earlier this year: http://www.spinics.net/linux/fedora/fedora-kde/msg09038.html -gene

KPackageKit insistence
by John Pilkington 12 Apr '11

12 Apr '11

Running F13, 64 bit. I upgraded preupgrade this morning, and since then a KpackageKit window has appeared every few minutes urging me to upgrade to F14. Yes, but not yet. I've unchecked the 'Notify me...' in KpackageKit settings, and also rebooted, but it keeps nagging. It didn't require me to be root. How can I stop it? I see this has also been reported in FedoraForums. Ought I to ask F13 questions somewhere else? TIA John P
