another note about qtwebkit 2.3
by Steven J Pappas 18 Apr '13

18 Apr '13

Another note about qtwebkit2.3, it renders Bibletime (based on sword library) inoperable. It will open and see the menu up above, but when you try to select any translation, the window is blank. I have informed Bibletime developers about this. I have put a yum exclusion on qtwebkit for now after downgrading to qtwebkit2.2. Hope this helps.

confusion on system-settings/add a new printer
by Neal Becker 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

2 machines on the same lan. On one, 'add a new printer' shows 'Discovered Network Printers' On the other, there is no such section. Is perhaps some software missing on the latter to enable that service? Both are fedora f18, but 1 is kde 4.10.2 and the other is kde 4.10.1.

Invisible .pdf files
by Timothy Murphy 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

I've recently downloaded two files from different sites, using Firefox under Fedora-18/KDE . (One was a Ubuntu tutorial from Lockergnome.) In each case the file is immediately opened in acroread (ie I don't start acroread). In one case the name given in acroread was 13656_0_ . I found this file is in /var/tmp/kdecache-tim/krun , though it is not shown by locate even after updatedb , and copied it to a more permanent position. But what puzzles me is: is this a deliberate feature to semi-hide files for some reason? Or has there been a recent change in Firefox or Acroread? Or have I misunderstood in some way? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

kde on sl6 - can't find it
by John Pilkington 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

Hi: I've been using kde, now on f17 and sl6, for several years. Last week, after what I remember, if at all, as a small update, the sl6 system wouldn't complete booting. It couldn't find LogVol-lv_home. Eventually I posted on the sl6 list and was told to reinstall lvm2 and lvm2-libs. I did, and after vgscan, lvscan, the reboot seemed ok. I don't know what had triggered removal of the lvm tools. The next reboot would only return to the login screen, unless I selected the Gnome worktop, when many things seem to work, but obviously the familiar kde feel and tools are missing. I can see the Xorg.log, in which uid 500 and gid 500 get disconnected. Is that the problem? Do I need to be in the >1000 domain now? And if so, how? Gnome doesn't show me any User-management tools. Most of the above was with the standard SL6.3/6.4 setup, but having no success with that I tried kde-testing+unstable. The installation looked as if it went ok, but I'm still stuck with Gnome. Of course, if I do get 4.10.2 working I would like MythTV as well. That had been doing fine, with an ATrpms-derived specfile building a newer release than the latest on the ATrpms site, but I suspect that going further is going to defeat me. For now, I'd just like to get back to kde. Suggestions please. John P

Install Plasma Resources???
by Lester Petrie 13 Apr '13

13 Apr '13

I installed F18 last week, and now when I log in, I get a pop up message box with the subject as the title. The top line then says "Plasma requires an additional service for this operation". Then there is an icon with "script engine" out to the side. Finally, at the bottom, it says "The following service is required. Do you want to search for this now?", and a Continue button and a Cancel button. When I click on the Continue, it comes back with "Failed to search for Plasma service" as the top line, and a big yellow triangle with "Could not find service in any configured software source" There is a Close button that deletes the message box. What is it looking for? What do I do to make it quit coming up? The only other strange thing that I observe that might possibly be connected is that when I try to start yumex, it fails with a message YUM: The value for the SHELL variable was not found the /etc/shells file /etc/shells has all the entries that are in it on another machine where yumex works. -- Lester M Petrie

volume control buggy in 4.10.2
by Neal Becker 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

kmix is very buggy after updating to 4.10.2. There's a lot of lag in touching the volume up/down controls, and after fiddling a few times, now the plasma is stuck on the screen, and kmix is completely unresponsive. This is repeatable. Don't know if these .xsession-errors are related: void DBusMenuImporter::slotMenuAboutToShow(): Application did not answer to AboutToShow() before timeout void DBusMenuImporter::slotMenuAboutToShow(): Application did not answer to AboutToShow() before timeout void DBusMenuImporter::slotAboutToShowDBusCallFinished(QDBusPendingCallWatcher*): Call to AboutToShow() failed: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." void DBusMenuImporter::slotAboutToShowDBusCallFinished(QDBusPendingCallWatcher*): Call to AboutToShow() failed: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."

Just trying 10.4.2 from kde-testing. On login, I get the abrt notification. If I click on it, nothing happens. I can open abrt-gui from command line OK.

systray oddity ... should this be bugzilla'd ?
by Ed Greshko 04 Apr '13

04 Apr '13

Running fully updated F18 system and this had been bugging me from time to time but I thought it was a problem with my aging mouse. Pardon me if I use the wrong technical terms.... On the systray there is a small triangle near the clock. If you mouse over it a pop-up displays "Show hidden icons". Clicking on it brings up a list. Now if your mouse cursor is all the way over to the left you can move the cursor up and down and each entry will be highlighted in turn. However, if your cursor is over to the right your mouse needs to be over at least one letter in the text for that entry to be highlighted. Seems to me that even moving the mouse over "empty" space should result in the entry being highlighted. Worthy of a bugzilla? If so, what component? -- >From now on, at least during winter time, Im going to blame all spelling an grammar erros on the cat sitting on my chest every time I sit down at the computer....
