KDE SC 4.5 beta 1 cucumber is out - i am excited as hell!

hi everyone!
i just read on phoronix the following news:
http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … &px=ODI5MQ
the key features read like a wishlist for christmas of a decade don't you think? i saw some screenshot with the new tray icons and notifications and i am SO keen on getting my fingers to it... this is gonna rock as hell...
i think the most interesting feature is the support of window-tiling... i always wanted to try out some tiling wm but never wanted to leave my so much beloved KDE environment
what do you people think?

Whoa, sweet!
Um, you DO know that you've been able to use the Webkit KPart with Konqueror for over 1 year now, do you not? As a matter of fact, it is the ONLY way Konqueror is remotely usable as an internet browser. Arre there that few improvements in KDE4.5 that they have to advertise a 1 year old ability?
KHTML is an albatross, and Konqueror is in a primitive state compared to ANY other web browser out there--even Internet Explorer. I'd love to love Konqueror, but they need to fix it. It hasn't had ANY noticeable improvement done to it since KDE4.1

What is better to use: digital out or 5 channel speaker level out

Hi
Is it better to use digital out on sound card or 5 channel speaker level output?If you could explain it to me...(i'm new so that's why i am asking this)
Thank you

First you need to determine what options you have, if you have an amp/decoder
use digital out because that then frees up the line-outs which you can use for other devices. Quality wise not much difference.

HT4623 This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use it

This really ***** that they sent out and update to the iPhone ISO6 and I can't send or receive pics! Being that its apple you would think they would know better than to send out a bad update like this! I'm paying for a service and I can even use now!!! I'm very upset! Think about canceling my iPhone 5 order! This is terrible!

Wahhhhhhhhhh! Wahhhhhhhhhh!
Are you over your little tantrum now? Do you want help you would like to continue to act like a toddler?
If you want help, try telling us what happens when trying to send pics. Any errors?
If you want to whine... go somewhere else.

Wanting to get iphone, but heard a better one is coming out

I heard a newer better version is coming out. Is this true, should I just wait and does anyone know the differences or when it will be coming out?

It does not take 4-6 months to get FCC Approvals for a phone, more like 1 or 2 days now, and thats the fact. It takes 2-4 months of regulatory testing and report writing, but only days to get the approvals. I have had approvals on the same day I have submitted, you just have to pay for a rush job. The Regulatory Engineers at Apple will file with the FCC maybe 1-2 months ahead of the release day, but they stipulate what date the file can be uploaded to the FCC web page for people to review, they also lock the photo's for the 60 day period.

[kde-unstable] KDE Applications 15.04 Beta

Packages (x86_64 only) are available for testing in the official [kde-unstable] repo.
New applications in this release: kdenlive, telepathy-kde
Ported to KF5 in this release:
- kdeadmin: kcron
- kdeedu: blinken, cantor, kbruch, kgeography, kiten klettres, kmplot, kstars, kturtle, kwordquiz, rocs, step
- kdegames: bomber, bovo, granatier, kapman, katomic, kblackbox, kblocks, kbounce, kbreakout, kdiamond, kfourinline, killbots, kjumpingcube, klines, kmines, knetwalk, kollision, kpatience, kshisen, ksquares

Please report packaging issues to bugs.archlinux.org (using [kde-unstable] in the description), upsteam issues to bugs.kde.org
Known packaging issues:
- cantor is missing, compilation fails at the moment
- kdeartwork is not packaged, it's mostly stuff for KDE4 which hasn't been updated for years. Same for kde-wallpapers, kde-base-artwork.
- l10n packages are not available, so new KF5 apps will not be translated
- rocs depends on grantlee-qt5, which conflicts with grantlee-qt4, so currently can't be coinstalled with some KDE4 apps such as kdepim, kdevelop or skrooge. Hopefully will be fixed before the final release.

No. Both: Dolphin and all KDE-Baseapps will be in 15.08.
Personally I use dolphin-git version (from AUR) and it works pretty well. It depends only on baloo-widgets from git (and AUR). The all other dependencies are in repositories.
I was going to try this but following the baloo-git dependency, it seems to depend on a lot of git versions
I've just modified PKGBUILD of baloo-widgets-git:
# Contributor: Andrea Scarpino <[email protected]>
pkgname=baloo-widgets-git
pkgver=r408.ebfa75c
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A framework for searching and managing metadata"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
url='https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdelibs/baloo'
license=('LGPL')
depends=('baloo-frameworks')
makedepends=('extra-cmake-modules' 'git' 'kdoctools')
source=('git://anongit.kde.org/baloo-widgets')
replaces=('baloo-widgets-frameworks-git')
md5sums=('SKIP')
pkgver() {
cd baloo-widgets
printf "r%s.%s" "$(git rev-list --count HEAD)" "$(git rev-parse --short HEAD)"
prepare() {
mkdir -p build
build() {
cd build
cmake ../baloo-widgets \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
-DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib
make
package() {
cd build
make DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" install
It depends only on stable baloo-frameworks and... so on, it works.
Then build and install this baloo-widgets-git before dolphin-git, and after that install dolphin-git from AUR. This solutions is for those from us, who want to use baloo with dolphin.

KDE desktop does not come up after log out

I have updated KDE to the lastest version using the Arch packages. It worked wonderfully the first time, all of my widgits were intact and my desktop was just as I had left it, custom background and everything. Then, however, I logged out to make sure Fluxbox worked. Now, even after rebooting, the KDE desktop doesn't come up. It will bring up Pidgin which was running before but the taskbar and all of the widgets are gone and it has this grey background that is the same as the one in the KDM.
No errors are produced, although it does now ask for the password for a Wallet that "Plasma Desktop" wants to access. I recognise the name of the wallet (kdewallet) and input the password correctly after this, two notifications pop up with informational thing. One is about some indexing service being "rebuilt" for new features and the other is saying that it's falling back on a different sound output. None of this seems to have an impact on the limited usability I have.
Has anyone else expereinced this? Are there any log files where errors would be outputted to?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have found the relevent messages. They are at a pastebin. http://pastebin.ca/1522805
I'm not entirely sure what is going on here.
After the top line of that post, there are a LOT of errors related to "No block with decorrelation terms" in fact the vast majority of that file are those things. All other "errors" are warnings related to my Fluxbox session which is working fine.
Lines 1, 11 and 12 seem to be the most severe errors:
[0xa2412b0] main input error: ES_OUT_RESET_PCR called
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown - The name org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstorage was not provided by any .service files"
"/usr/bin/dolphin(4560)" Error in thread 3049428752 : "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name"
I have no idea where to even begin fixing them. However it is Nepomuk that comes up with the rebuilding message i mentioned in my previous post.

Each new beta seems to wipe out the tab groups defined in previous versions. Why?

Why does each version of the Firefox v.10 beta wipe out the previous beta's tab groups? Is there a way to recover them? I've had to stop using the groups feature lest I lose the tabs not included in the primary group.

Check and tell if its working.

Spotify 1.0.11 beta for Linux is out, with 32-bit binaries!

Hello Linux users!
Today we've released Spotify client version 1.0.11 for Linux. There are some big changes in this version, and it's still considered to be a beta release, and will be in beta until the items in the "known issues" list below are resolved. If you want to try out this version, installation instructions remain the same as for the other betas:
echo deb http://repository.spotify.com testing non-free | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/spotify.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install spotify-client
or if you have a previous version installed, simply:
sudo apt-get upgrade
Since the previous public release (version 1.0.9), we've made the following Linux-specific changes:
32-bit binaries are now available! Now users on i386 systems can try out the 1.x betas as well. Please reply to this thread with any technical problems that you encounter on that architecture.
libnotify is now an suggested package dependency. If you don't have that library installed, this feature will simply be unavailable.
Updated application icon in the spotify.desktop entry
GPU acceleration is disabled (see below)
This build ships with the following limitations, of which we are still currently working on:
Proper dbus support for MPRIS MediaPlayer2
There is no application menu
It is not possible to re-enable GPU acceleration through the settings
Important: regarding GPU acceleration, this is now completely disabled in the client, and we do not yet have a way to enable it in the preferences. This change was originally made in Chromium for Linux, but since the Spotify client uses CEF, we inherited this change from them. According to the Launchpad bug report, faulty GPU driver support was the single largest cause of crashes for Chromium on Linux (this graph shows how Chromium crashes on Linux have dramatically decreased after the setting was changed).
Depending on your hardware and GPU drivers, this change is either going to be a big annoyance for you or a huge blessing. For our users who experienced frequent and strange crashes with the client, this change will probably greatly increase client stability. For other users with certain video cards, scrolling performance and redraw rates may be noticeably choppier. Some users won't notice anything at all.
The obvious solution here is that our Linux client needs a toggle to manually re-enable this feature in the settings. Exposing this feature is not as straightforward as you might believe, or else we would have done it already. ;) However, we're working on a way to do just that, and hopefully will have something in place for the next beta release.

Thanks for your continued support for Linux! It _is_ appreciated! :) Any chance the queing over Connect is gonna be looked at soon? The windows client seems to only be able to queue one song. If there already is one song in the queue nothing happens when you try to add another (except for the weird reshuffling that happens whenever you touch the queue). And if there are more than 1 song queued, the windows client removes all but the first one. From Android it works almost always. This is the only complaint I have with the Linux version but it's kind of a deal breaker when using it soley as an headless music player.This sounds like a bug, and a non Linux specific one at that. I'll look into this, however there are some changes to the player stack which will also effect connect that we are just rolling out. These changes will not require a client update, so there is a chance that you'll notice this behavior "magically" fix itself in the upcoming weeks. Anyways this is not a known limitation from our end for Linux users, we will investigate this bug.Good. Controlling -> PlayingWindows -> Android: Queing in itself works.

Cannot continue using the beta as it prints out my emails & info from websites as unreadable info. Are you working on this?

When I print out emails or info from web pages such as bank statements, the text comes out very small, out of order, not spaced properly. I had to switch back to the regular firefox browser because I was wasting too much paper.

There is a known bug involving printing in beta 12 that has been fixed in the Firefox 4 release candidate which has just been released.

KDE and all the apps that come with it

I have a question about the KDE group (and packages) and pardon me if I demonstrate my lack of understanding.
I'm fairly new to using linux as a desktop, although I've been using it (and FreeBSD) as server for quite some time. So I can get around fairly well with command line, and server based stuff.
I tried many distributions but didnt find one that I got attached to, and was about to go thru a Gentoo install when I discovered Arch. Since then its been fantastic. On my home lan I've replaced almost all my windows installations with arch and have not had any major issues.
However, looking at the slick way that pacman works, with all the little packages I can choose from and the dependancy chain figured out for me, I was a little dissapointed that KDE comes with a dozen or so packages that contain 100s of apps. For instance, I am pretty sure I dont need KBabel (a translator), yet I cannot install it thru pacman because it isnt in its own package, it is in kdeaddons. I REALLY like the idea of having a KDE group that would install everything that it currently does, but why have so many apps inside that group of packages?
I took a little look at the kde website and didnt really see anything in there that indicated that KBabel is part of an actual kdeaddons package there, so I am assuming that the kde maintainer for arch decided that it should be that way.
I dont know any better, so thats why I am asking. I dont have a need for a fax viewer, a tea cooker, or a moon phase thingo. but I did like the AMOR to amuse the kids a little. So how can I keep one bit and get rid of the others, without having to dig thru stuff and possibly break the dependancy chain?
Anyway, not to take away from the effort of those maintaining the packages, because it works quite well and I'm really enjoying my new systems. Just wanted to ask if there was a specific reason it was done this way.
Kudos.

Well, as it stands, no you can't just pick individual apps in KDE. If you really want to pick what you want, you will have to turn to building from source. You can probably alter kdeaddons in ABS, or just start with Konstruct.
Personally, I understand why they just lump all of kde into 5-10 packages. It would be a complete headache otherwise. I've got the hard drive space and I can handle a few unused applications laying around. Keep up the good work to the new KDE maintainer eh?
Later,
Isamoor
That's probably the exact reason. There's probably around 100+ programs (I could be under or over by a lot, it just seems like there are a ton) that come with a fully installed KDE, and if you had to install them all individually, it'd be hell. It's just easier to put them all together into a few packages, because most people'll probably want to use KDE's stuff within the KDE environment, anyway.

Kde from extra or kdemod?

I dont care about modularity...I just want to ask which is better,cause kdemod has some backports,etc....What do you think?
Last edited by kozer (2008-11-19 22:31:40)

I had a play with KDE4 both mod and stock arch installs. Neither booted any faster than the other. KDE mod had the better default install IMO, all the junk supplied in the stock arch one is a bit overwhelming. Also KDE mod has binary packages of Amarok-svn and K3B svn if your into eithe of those.
Otherwise the real differences were minimal, both installed and ran, neither had any obviously stupid defaults. In anycase I tried out KDE4.2 (beta stuff) and it still was not anywhere near a full desktop solution, its just too pieced together for my liking at the moment. I definately prefer it to gnome now though, and will probably give it another try in a year or so when its all stabilized (plenty of crashes in both kdemod/stock on the 4.1.3 build, and the beta is even worse of course).
If I had to recommend either I would say KDEmod.

I read another comment that my Coby Kyros tablet can run Firefox OS beta. Unless I run the tablet in root mode, I can't access Google Play. Any other options?

My tablet is using Android 4.0. (ICS)
The Coby website for the MID9740 says it has an Allwinner Cortex™-A8 however that is misleading, as this is really an AllWinner A10, which is a cortex A8 ARM CPU.to be accurate) The Cortex A8 is based on the ARMv7 architecture. It also has 1GB RAM, and cpu is 1 GHz.
Out of the box,(and not rooted) it can't access the Google Play for FirefoxOS download. If I root it, I can download from Google. I'm not afraid to root my tablet, but I know many others' are. I had it rooted before using ClockworkMod, but decided to restore to factory.(similar to a routine bi-annual reformat with Windows and Linux on my desktop)
I was just wondering if AndroidPit or any other sites have the beta available to test out on my Kyros.
Could you please let me know? Thanks for your kind help, and have a great day!
Best regards always,
Todd in Oregon

You can't download Firefox OS from Google Play.

Suspend to ram in KDE vs. GNOME

I recently switched over to KDE for a little bit to test it out and see how it felt. I decided to stick with GNOME, but I realized that in KDE, the "start" menu's suspend to ram worked perfectly fine. Switching back to GNOME, it hangs at a blinking cursor when I try the suspend to ram via the "start menu". The commandline pm-suspend works fine.
What's the difference between the way KDE and GNOME call suspend?

Hello majiq!
Is there any error output after this method, or What experience do you have(Kde) ?
