Kde 3.4 beta 2 transparency in taskbar

kde 3.4 beta 2 rocks...one tiny thing though, and im not sure if its a kde problem or a package problem...when i select the transparency option for the panel, a small section towards the right of the panel doesnt show the underlying wallpaper perfectly...its just a little bit messed up, but only in that one area, which is rectified if i hide/unhide the panel...just a small problem...happens every time i log on..does anyone have a soultion?
Thanks!

I don't use KDE 3.4beta2 yet... but I could suggest the following:
1. post a screenshot
2. http://bugs.kde.org (it might get fixed in the release) - make sure you link the screenshot also

Firefox 4 Beta 2 autohide taskbar problems

I am using Windows 7 and have my taskbar set to auto-hide, but after updating to firefox 4 beta 2, my taskbar gets stuck down when firefox is maximized. I must minimize firefox or hit the windows key to get the taskbar up again. its really annoying. I know its a beta version but if anyone has a solution it would be much appreciated. Thanks

[SOLVED] [no actual solution inside] No sound in KDE 4.1 beta

Installed KDE 4.1 beta as found here
There is no sound and device list in KDE control center shows ESD
I installed pulseaudio and added it and esd in the deamons in rc.conf and added the user in the groups and added the auth file in home
Now the module shows both ESD and the hardware device and still there is no sound
Any clue ?
EDIT
No miracle with the speakers being plugged in the microphone port

Try the latest RC and make sure to have phonon installed.

Anyone tried KDE 4.2 Beta?

Anyone tried KDE 4.2 Beta? I'm thinking of testing out KDE 4.2 if it is better than the current KDE(Mod)4 in the repos.

Yep, so it says in your original link I have no gripes whatsoever about 4.1.96-1 apart from aforesaid kppp. Anyway, only three days to go until 4.2 proper comes out. I'll be counting the days 'til it hits the repos!

KDE 3.2 Beta 1

I know there are some KDE-Addicts among the Arch-Linux users!
Did anyone already compile the packages for the new KDE 3.2 Beta 1 and could put them into incoming?

KDE 3.2 sounds promising according to KDE's website:
<i>"With its 25 page feature plan, nearly 10,000 bugs closed and over 2,000 user wishes processed a complete report on what one can expect from Rudi would be so long that by the time you finished reading it, there would probably be a more current KDE release to try out. The only way to truly appreciate this release is to experience it first hand, but here are a few of the highlights anyways..."</i>

Only a temp KDE 4.5 beta 1 i686 repo

OK, After I heard that KDE 4.5 beta 1 is out, and kde-unstable is hold it, I remove kdemod as soon as possible to change to the offical kde and finally found that there is no i686 available!
I know a few days later they may set i686 repo up. But I can't wait ..
So I set up an kde-unstable repo for any one who want it.
If you want to use this one, it's your own risk.
It contains all kde package, support libs, and only some of the newer l10n package (many l10n packages don't compile..) and recompiled 4.4.3 kdepim (because new kdepim will not out with kde 4.5).
Backup your ~/.kde4 before updating
I don't promise to keep this repo sync with the offical repo, so if offical kde 4.5 beta is available in kde-unstable, you should switch to it.
If you have any problems like depend is missing, you should try to enable testing or tell me.
It will be fully available in few minutes, I'm uploading the final kdeedu packages.
i686 only!

Yes. If packages with the same names exist in several repos, the order of repos is decisive.

KDE 3.4 & Window Transparency Problem

I have just installed KDE 3.4, and after a bit of trouble and reinstalling it a couple of times, it now works fine. However, I remembered seeing something about transparency and shadows in this new version of KDE, so I wanted to see if I could turn them on. After enabling the necessary options in the Control Centre, I restarted X and logged back in, but it gave me a message saying I had to put
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "Enable"
EndSection
In my xorg.conf in order for it to work properly. I did this, and when I logged in again, the results were... interesting. Here is a screenshot (I hope this free hosting thing works):
[URL=http://putfile.com/pic.php?pic=3/7507213817.png&s=x2][/URL]
I have an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro graphics card, but I do not have direct rendering working, because I cannot make their kernel module (the latest driver version from the ATI website) compile with Linux kernel 2.6.11. I did have it working under 2.6.10 though, so I rebooted and checked to see if this would fix things. It did not. The 2.6.10 kernel I used to use also has a different frame buffer driver compiled in there (I don't know if this makes a difference, but I thought I'd mention it anyway).
If anyone knows what I can do to make this work, then I would be very grateful indeed. Here are my system specs:
1.3 GHz AMD Athlon processor
768MB RAM
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
Custom kernel 2.6.10/2.6.11 (depends which one I boot)
Latest pacman packages of xorg, KDE, everything else from current/extra
Thanks in advance!

I tried it, and it works on my setup. But it is SLOW . So I removed it

Kde(mod?) 4.3: animated taskbar and program grouping

Hi,
i have done clean installs of KDE and KDEmod today and finally settled on [extra]. However on one of my installs i noticed that the taskbar had animated icons when starting programs and such (bouncing kopete, opera and such). The final install i have now does not have this, is this a feature somewhere i have not enabled yet or is it something I only had in kdemod? I have compositing enabled but cannot find where i put that anymore.
I also had a grouping of multiple programs (konsole) that "folded" out when i hovered over the taskbar. I now just see multiple instances <1>, <2>, <3> next to each other and no nifty animated grouping anymore, even when i turn it on in the settings. I am not sure this worked for me on kdemod or kde so i do not know if it is a feature that is unique to either one of these.
any tips?

As far as #2 goes, KDEMod by default uses the Stasks plasmoid-which does what you're talking about. You can get it from AUR.
#1 I'll have to think about.

KDE Applications look better in Cinammon. Solved

I am trying to get a decent desktop going. have installed KDE, KDE-Base etc.
But the KDE apps have very poor color scheme/fonts/ Thin light grey letters on a light grey tool bar.
I have tried to use KDE to change the themes but no luck.
I have installed Cinnamon, and when I run Konqueror etc under Cinnamon they look MUCH better. Menus and letters are readable.
Is there a way to fix KDE so the apps look right?

K Thanks for the pointers.
'looks right' means that under cinnamon the desktop does not look like kde (duh!) and the menu structures are all different, and the bar at the bottom is using non KDE icons etc.
Under KDE the fonts were grey on grey and very hard to read. (number one complaint).
However now fixed mostly. Changed the theme from CDE to Oxygen. and just to be safe the appplication appearance ditto.
KDE now seems useable.
Next step is to get X, KDE, and network to start automatically at boot.
Thanks again for the help.

KDE 4.2 Beta Crash

I've been using KDE 4 SVN for a while now without problems. But I think ever since I upgraded to Xorg 7.4, my KDE 4 crashes. It crashes a few seconds after the desktop is fully loaded. Does anyone know why this is happening?

You need to be more specific. No we don't know why this happens, because we don't have your log files, we don't have your hardware details, and we don't know what crashing is. Try searching the Wiki for 'Xorg Hotplugging', that might be the answer to your problem.
You can find your log files at /var/log
.log files contain the log of the current session
.old files contain the log of the last session (this is what you want, because this is where the crash would be)
next time please be more informative

Kde-unstable beta 2 shows blank white screen

installed kde 4.3 beta 2 with pacman -R kde (4.2.4) and pacman -S kde-meta
after logging in the splash screen appears and later disappears leaving white blank screen
there used to be red X button (with title could not load this plasmoid when hovering over it) in the place where i had folder view in 4.2.4. it disppeared after i deleted ~/.kde4
the screen shows no reaction o any keys or clicks except alt F2 and alt ctrl del
in alt F2 commands can be typed but cannot be launched (as if they dont exist). task manager can be opened from there and it shows the normal kde apps (plasma etc) up and running
alt ctrl del logout menu works normal
UPDATE
i installed and installed kde and kde-meta few times more. nowi have kde 4.2.4 that won't open konqueror and few other apps and it has visual artifacts of kde 4.3

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

After installing Firefox 4 Beta I am no longer able to open my Firefox 3. Even when I double click the firefox.exe in the correct progam folder it continues to open Firefox 4 Beta instead of 3.

Opening from the Programs list doesn't work, from the windows search bar doesn't work, and directly opening the Firefox.exe in the correct program folder doesn't work either.
I only got it to open once: upon first installing Firefox 4 Beta I asked it to pin it to the Windows 7 taskbar (it did not). My Firefox 3 program was still pinned to the taskbar however. So through that button I was able to open Firefox 3. But since then I have unpinned Firefox 3 and have pinned the Firefox 4 Beta to the taskbar instead. Now I can't get it to point back to Firefox 3.

what a pain! However, the solution is to simply install the Add-On "Autofill Forms". I'm not certain why Mozilla didn't automatically install the add-on as most of us rely on this feature. It's definitely not a good enough reason to uninstall and reinstall an earlier version and this version has some neat features

Sound don't work in KDE

Hello,
I've installed arch linux with KDE in my laptop. I've installed meta packages "kde" and "phonon-xine".
The sound don't work in the desktop.
Mi hardware sound is:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation N10/ICH 7 Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
The headphones work fine, but the speakers don't work.
What can I do?.
Best regards.

That's what I have on my options panel, but that might have been added in the KDE 4.6 beta.
What sound system are you using? (Alsa/OSSv4/Pulse?)
I don't known that sound system am I using, how can I see it. I'm using xine engine.
Anyway, the sound work fine now. The problem was that speaker element don't show in mixer. I've selected and work now.
I'm not in the audio group. Why work?.
Best regards.

Itunes alternative for KDE. Rythmbox is not integrating well

Hi,
I am not finding much information on this so I thought I would start a post. I have been using rhythmbox for music. I recently decided to bring our main computer to the KDE world from LXDE. I am trying to stick to strictly KDE programs for better integrating. I have not found an alternative to iTunes or rythmbox though. Any ideas? The problem I am having right now is that every time I try to sync with the iPod rythmbox just shuts down below starting with line 6 is what is produced during the shutdown. The previous is the initial start up of the program
I also had to install the gnome-icon-theme package which is not something that I really wanted to do.
