Good WM/DE for kde apps?

That is not KDE of course, It just became impossible to run in my machine, but I still like some apps that depend on some kde staff, like k3b and digikam, what would be a good host for kde applications? I would like to exclude also gnome, to much fat to have both in one in this old system. thanks for any comment.

Just use any one. The real integration is your qt/gtk theme. If you set the same qt look as the same as the gtk look, the apps will integrate. Tada!
I don't use any qt apps though, so you can always find some lightweight alternatives, like xfburn for cd/dvd burning and shotwell/fspot for photos.
I have inadvertantly found a way to have KDE apps decorated by GTK in Gnome.
I installed Arch to look at KDE 4.5, it ran decently, but I had some minor problems in the plasma-desktop that were annoying me, and so decided to check out gnome in Arch. Gnome works fine, but I noticed that Amarok, my prefered music player, was looking strange, and then I noticed it was actually using my current GTK theme. It looked fine just not what I was used to. ALso the fonts looked a little different than regular GTK apps probably because hinting was being applied twice. I can change my GTK theme and all the KDE apps change to it.
I couldn't really figure out what was going on, because I didn't think there was a way to do this except change the Qt theme to be close to GTK theme, and I hadn't installed anything for integration and my theme was the default oxygen.
Anyways the only thing that might account for it, is that when I checked my dmesg, gnome-appearance segfaults with an error in LibQtGui.so, it keeps on working and causes no other problems. I'm not sure this is the cause, but it's the only thing I can think of as an explanation. So far there are no functional problems or performance problems, and I run several kde apps, so it makes me wonder why this can't be done normally?

Any good DVD Player for KDE?

I have switched from Gnome to KDE, and I am liking it...
I used to use Totem and VLC to play dvds, so , is there any good dvd players in qt?

For DVDs, I still use kaffeine most of the time, but I also use VLC and kmplayer and regular old mplayer at times, too. I dislike the direction kaffeine has taken UI-wise. It used to be a thing of beauty, and now (IMO) it's a good example of what goes wrong with some KDE apps.

Problem - diacretic letters in non-KDE apps under KDE

I'm using KDE (kdemod actually) with polish keyboard layout. This works fine for KDE-apps, but not for gimp and pidgin (and probably other gtk apps). I can't enter polish letters in them.
I should probably use some gnome config panel or something to change keyboard layout, but I don't want to install gnome. Which packages to install, why so many, what to do and why gnome does not use my KDE keyboard layout?

I can use gnome-keyboard-properties and set keyboard layout. But this afects only current session, desipte good layout is set as default one.
Anything that I could throw into .kde/Autostart/ ?

No sound via HDMI on non-KDE apps (using KDE 4.5)

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone would know how I would go about having sound from applications like Firefox use the sound device that I select via the System Settings > Multimedia > Phonon device preference? KDE applications work no problem. I am using the Xine backend. If at all possible I like to do this without installing another backend like Pulseaudio.
Any suggestions?

The KDE settings only changes the settings for KDE apps. You probably have to use .asoundrc or asound.conf to configure it unless you use Pulseaudio (which I use and works great with HDMI by the way) Look through here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Alsa

PGP for Mail.app?

Alright, I've been loooking for a while and I can't seem to find a good encryption solution for Mail.app
Apple's Mail help file mentions something vague about how mail does support pgp if the enctyption is hidden in they keychain, but mentions no way of doing this. Is there some easy way of implementing pgp in mail that I'm missing? The best solution Google easily offers is GPGMail (http://www.sente.ch/software/GPGMail/English.lproj/GPGMail.html), but that seems slightly sketchy and I'd like to do encryption the Apple Way™ (if there is a way, that is)

There's no reason not to use the GPGMail plugin for Mac OS X; it's been around for years and it works; nothing "sketchy" about it. You will also need to download and install the GNU Privacy Guard (a.k.a. MacGPG) to make it encrypt and decrypt messages.
Or, you could get a free personal email certificate to sign and encrypt your mail, but it will expire after 1 year and then you'd have to get a new one. If that's the method you prefer, check this link for instructions. Go directly to the link where it says Thawte: Personal Email Certificates and start reading.

Qt update rendered kde apps ugly [SOLVED]

For some reason, having updated to the latest Qt, all my KDE apps started behaving as if no theme was installed. SMplayer can change from the Default (Win-like ) theme to Plastique, but the color remains the same. My point:

I searched the forums and wiki, to no avail.
Thanks in advance

Or should I say, how do I setup Clementine and SMplayer to the same behaviour as k3b (since it kept the same look after upgrade)? Thanks
K3B is a KDE app, not just a Qt app. SystemSettings > Appearance overrides Qtconfig for KDE apps, so, for them, use Systemsettings (in kdebase-workspace).

[KDE] segfault for non KDE apps? (new)

Hi,
a few days ago, I noticed that non KDE apps (Firefox, Claws Mail, etc.) did not start on my KDE desktop (KDE 4.4, not KDE-mod).
What happens is that if I click on one of them on the menu, the app starts (I see the mouse cursor being active) but in the end nothing happens. By executing the corresponding command in a terminal followed by sudo, it would work. However, when entering the same command without sudo it gives me a "segmentation fault". KDE apps (dolphin, konqueror) works perfectly.
What would that mean and how can I fix it?
thanks,
Charles.

Dude, you need an iTunes Store account to purchase apps. You don't need to download a US version of iTunes to upgrade to 1.1.3. Without an iTunes Store Account, your ipod touch is as good as crippled since you cannot download and install apps onto your ipod Touch while others can. I do have one suggestion for Apple: to enable an iTunes Apps (not music) Account that is made payable by credit cards or gift cards (but not restricted to countries that itunes store operates in). This way, Apple can also sell apps to many more countries.

The wifi at my school isn't very good. And I can't send iMessages through it. It works for some apps like score center and my radar app, but doesn't work for other apps like clash of clans and iMessage. How can I get it to work on that wifi network

In a roaming network, your "main" router is the device that would require port mapping/forwarding to be configured in order to access the IP camera from the Internet. This router is also the one that would be provide the private IP address for the camera which you will want to be a static one.
So as you described your network, the IP cameras should be getting an IP address or you assigned it a static one and this is the address that you would enter in the Private IP address (or equivalent depending on the router used) field when setting up port mapping.
If you are not able to access this camera from the local network, then this should be troubleshot first.

How come I'm not asked for password for every app purchase, app auto downloads once I tap install, not good when my kids start buying apps because they are not asked for password, help!!

Thank you for the help, have sorted it through Restrictions in General settings now : )
No more mysterious app purchases on my c.card now thank god !!
You would think they would set as default that Password was required - Imediatly . But they know there likely to get more purchases the way the default set it..
Thanks again for prompt reply!!!

Are there any good third party or otherwise apps and/or plugins for imovie'11?

Are there any good third party or otherwise apps and/or plugins for imovie'11?

Re: Plugins for iMovie 11
Someone just asked this question yesterday. So I am cutting and pasting the answer From Bengt Warleby
Hi
You can not.
Nor to iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - They do not accept any Plug-ins.
How about FinalCut Pro X - I don't know but i regard to Apple way of progress - I doubt
For iMovie up to HD6 and FinalCut Express and FinalCut Pro up to 7.0 - there are plenty.

No internet connection for Qt kde apps

Hi guys , after the last update of kde I've got this weird problem ,
I'm using firefox for the moment and it works fine and has no problem with the connection
konqueror and other kde apps don't have inter connection like choqok for example
also the widgets are having the same issue

Next to the "check for updates" button it says iTunes will automatically check on a certain day (that day being tomorrow) but what if I want to check before that day to make sure everything is up to date
Then click on the Check for updates button.
Note that this is for the iPod updates only. This doesn't check for updates to iTunes.
iTunes pref -> General is where you set to check for iTunes updates.
Make sure your firewalls (Windows, Norton, router)allow iTunes access.
