No trayicon for gajim in plasma (kde5)

Gajim is a python/gtk2 xmpp application.
In preferences -> notifications the option "Show notification area icon" is set to "Always" but I don't get a tray icon in Plasma.
Any ideas how to enable it?
(the problem is that if I close the roster window it just hides it, and then I can't show it)
Versions:
Gajim: 0.16.1-1
pygtk: 2.24.0-5
plasma-desktop: 5.3.0

Thanks, will try now:

Setting for output to Plasma or widescreen Flash

I have a client who wants a short motion-graphic piece outputted to a plasma TV and widescreen Flash version as well.
There will be no video on this piece on moving text/pictures. What would the best settings be for these two outputs. I realize that I will have to through DVD Studio Pro and bring it down to SD for the Plasma TV output (client wants to play it from their DVD). How about for Flash?
Any help is appreciated

hi,
if i understand you correctly the client wants to play the piece from a DVD player. In this case you will be converting to the mpeg 2 format. DVD studio pro can do this for you, I believe you can import the Motion file straight in, although i havent done this myself. Your only concerns then are to tell studio pro to convert with as large a bandwidth as possible. However you do need to bare in mind the age of the dvd player being used, earlier ones cannot handle high bandwidths.
If you have Flash installed you will be able to use Compressor to output to the Flash format. Again here you have control over size aspect and bandwidth. Not sure what you can do if you don't have it installed.

FCP Sequence compression / format for editing photos for a HD Plasma screen

Hello Forum
I'm editing a 10 minute documentary that's mostly based on graphics and photographs, and a voiceover. There's maybe 30 seconds of HD Video in it (Sony EX1 Camera). (But I assume the video will be convertable into any format anyway.)
The final film will be screened on an 1920x1080 HD Screen.
What sequence preset should I use? I don't see any 1920x1080 in my final cut pro 5.2.
I'm somewhat new to the world of HD. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Cheers,
sk

Thank you for all your replies.
You guys are right. Sorry it's 5.1.4...
Let's assume there's no video involved. What would be a good format workflow for a 10 minute film containing audio, graphics and photos only (72dpi jpgs and tiff files)?
I will receive low res / temp photos for a rough cut. And then high res photos for the final cut.
I would like to edit offline with a timeline setting that allows me to pan and zoom in/out of photos without much rendering, a fast compression. And then once the cut is approved another setting that allows me to uprez to a higher compression with little effort.
My setup: Mac Pro (2009) with 3 gigs of RAM (thinking of upgrading to 6) and 512 megs graphics card.
Any advice is much appreciated.
Thank you

HELP - Table Stand for 42 inch plasma

We bought a 42 inch plasma tv about five years ago. We wall mounted it and about a year ago we cleaned out the garage and through out the stand.
We are wanting to dismount the tv and place on a tv stand/cabinet. I searched the internet and can not find a replacement stand and our brand has been discontinued.
Does anyone have any ideas were we can find a stand or any ideas?

I don't know why I thought you mentioned it was a Samsung. I should sleep more and do this less. You can buy a tv stand that you can hang the tv on the back of the stand. Best Buy sells them from Whalen, Bello, Init.

DVI or VGA for Plasma Screen?

Hello,
I am looking to get a video out lead for the new white macbook to plug into a 50" Plasma LG tv. The tv is at least 4 years old, hence plasma, not LCD.
It has both a DVI and VGA input. Which one should I use? I haven't bought the mini-dvi cable yet, so I am essentially asking, which one should I buy? Does one type of input work better for widescreen and plasma TVs?
Thanks
Jamie

I googled your question and it seems there are several opinions...I thought DVI would be a slam dunk as it's digital as opposed to VGA's analog signal but I was wrong. That said if you have access to both displays see which looks better to you....if I didn't have access I'd probably just go with DVI because it's newer technology. Just my opinion though.

Best size for plasma & LCD screens

Just wondering, what is the best size to start with images then into DVD spro - for the best compatability for use on plasma & lcd screens - with a standard DVD player feed??
PowerMac G5/2.3GHz Mac OS X (10.4.10)

The pixel dimensions of the standard DVD palyer are effectivley 720x480 for NTSC and 720x576 for PAL. You'd be best off scaling your images to that size (starting at a size of 720x534 or 768x576, see page 85 of the user guide) in your favorite graphics program.
All LCD monitors you're thinking of using have a much higher resolution, and will upscale the image. Many 4:3 plasma screens are that resolution (especially older plasma, or ones below 42 inches). New plasmas will upscale it too.
The most you can really do is give the video as much data rate as you can, but keep your total data rate to 8 mbps or lower, so that less capable DVD players can keep up.

[plasma] Add icon of "command line" on desktop [Solved]

Hi,
for my work i use a ssh redirect port to make some applications (rdp, samba...) works and like this i can work outside like if i were inside the factory. So on kde4 i could put an icon with the command line, directly on the desktop.
I guess it is possible to do the same on kde5. For simple application on kde5 i drag on the screen but it is not possible to see inside it and to change the code that is use.
Is ther a way to do that on kde5 (plasma).
Thanks
Sincerely

How would I connect my Macbook to a new Plasma tv?

I have an Intel Macbook which has a mini-DVI output, and I can connect it via a mini-DVI to DVI cable into the plasma telly I already own. This gives me a 1024x640 resolution on my plasma.
However, I have been looking to upgrade my plasma to a new HD one, and have been looking at the Pioneer pdp-4280xd. This has all the usual connections (3xhdmi, component, s-video etc) as well as a PC input, which is SXGA. According to one website, SXGA can throw out a resolution of 1280x1024. However this telly only has a pixel res of 1024x768. Regardless, according to the Apple website, it states my Macbook mini-DVI connection only supports DVI, VGA, S-Video, and Composite (blahh!!). So I am assuming then, that my Macbook won't be able to send a signal through the SXGA port, correct?
If that is the case, how else is best for me to connect my Macbook to a new telly like this one? Can I connect via a HDMI port? I have read S-video is not as good as using a DVI input, but there doesn't seem to be much choice if there isn't a DVI or VGA input available. And if I do connect via S-video, in this telly's case, I am assuming I can only get a max res of 1024x768 (the tv has rectangular pixels to give it a widescreen aspect).
Is it best for me to wait for a 42" plasma which has full HD resolution so I can have better res with my Macbook connected? And how is best for me to connect it with all these new tv ports?
Thanks for any advise.

Hi,
Maybe the Apple TV would be the most elegant solution. However you have posted your question in the wrong forum so not likely to get any answers here.
best of luck,

Get a Samsung HDTV and ATV or wait for the latest model?

A newbie to HDTV, video and ATV.
I have almost decided to buy the Samsung 50" plasma HDTV PN50A650. But have discovered that Samsung has a new model PN50A760 with added capabilities for playing video and wireless networking.
Connectivity is an issue to me. Spending all the green on a HDTV, I do not want it to be obsolete in 4 years. What if I get a digital camcorder? Or Apple introduces a flat-rate movie-rental scheme? My options:
OPTION A) Wait a few months until the $500 premium for the new model drops.
Some excerpts for reviews of the latest 760 model:
"The 7 series can playback video content stored on a USB device while the 6 series are limited to images and audio."
(Naively, I thought that all HDTVs should be able to play back video.)
"The 7 Series can stream audio, video and pictures over your home network."
"The TV recognizes not only MP3 and JPEG files but also XviD and MPEG4 files to enjoy video playback."
"The TV can also reach out to your home network and play back photos, videos and music stored on networked computers. You'll need to install special software, included with the TV, onto your PC." This could be some very basic software. Suitable for Macs?
"While this feature seems pretty cool, it's not as good as similar functionality built into a PS3 or an Xbox 360, let alone that of a dedicated network media streamer like Apple TV. Despite being billed as DLNA-compliant, the TV won't play nice with DLNA server software like Windows Media Player 11 or TVersity, so you're stuck with the included proprietary software. Samsung's software is basic..." (Compatibility with Macs?)
OPTION B) Buy the older model and then, add ATV. The total cost will be less and I think, the video playback (through my iMac?) and networking capabilities (2Wire Wi-Fi) will be much better. But I see there have been problems between ATV and Samsung HDTV.
Isn't the combo with ATV a much more capable and flexible (and cheaper) long-term solution? Which Samsung is unlikely to match?
Thanks for your valuable advice! (Urgent for the X-Mas season!)

Winston, I think you're missing my points:
1) If you're interested in a device for watching HD video, then you can compare the AppleTV and Blu-Ray. You then have to look at what other features they provide, or don't provide as the case may be, and decide. I was just giving my opinion on an alternative.
2) There was no detailed information given as to what the streaming capabilities were and so I was giving my opinion again.
To say that there is little difference quality wise between current HD broadcasts (even if some are 1440x1080i) and the maximum output of the AppleTV at 1280x720 shows a total lack of experience on your part of watching HD broadcasts on a TV capable of 1920x1080, or a lack of appreciation of the better detail contained in the picture. It's like comparing AppleTV HD at 1280x720 with DVD PAL native resolution of 720x576 and saying there is little difference quality wise. But then if you look at the US market where 30fps is standard, the AppleTV cannot support resolutions higher than 960x540, and then you really are lowering the benefits of the AppleTV over DVD quality, and the difference between the AppleTV and HD broadcasts is even bigger.
I have compared video from HD broadcast at 1920x1080 with the same video converted down to 1280x720 on the AppleTV, and the loss of detail is noticeable, especially when watching on a 40" TV, not an uncommon size these days with them being used with games consoles. Before you comment, no it is nothing to do with how I convert them, there is just physically far fewer pixels available. I much prefer watching 1920x1080 through my Media PC than watching 1280x720 through my AppleTV.
Also, as we all know it happens, there is software available freely on the internet - no names will be mentioned - that allow the convertion of movies from DVD to a PC, and likewise from HD-DVD and Blu-Ray to a PC. So reality is that it's available now and with the cost of 1TB and 1.5TB HDDs so cheap, the potential for a 1920x1080 resolution video collection for playing on a 1920x1080 TV is already there. Saying it's not going to happen 'any time soon' is rediculous as it's already happening, albeit quietly, especially as talk of how to do such things is not allowed on this forum.
You keep using this phrase 'any time soon' without quantifying it. You use words like 'unlikely'. We live in a fast changing world. The world of televisions has changed dramatically in the last two years, whereby nearly all mid-priced TVs (both plasma and lcd) from about £800 GBP upwards now support native 1920x1080. Two years ago I paid over £1500 GBP for a 37" plasma supporting native 1024x720. You can now buy Sony OLED 11" TVs, which a couple of years ago were just being shown off as prototypes. In my opinion, OLED will blow away lcd and plasma tv sales within 5 years, and in my timescale, that is any time soon.
12 months ago I bought a blu-ray player for a PC, whilst people around me were going for hd-dvd. The format wars was predicted as not going to end 'any time soon' and no one could have forseen that within 6 months the whole blu-ray / hd-dvd argument would be over.
For your information, ABC in the US have been broadcasting in HD for over 10 years.
But as I keep saying Winston, these are my opinions. You're allowed yours and I'm allowed mine.

Anybody Help me regarding this.

Hi Cindy,
Hope "Canadian Cheque Reconciliation Service Number (CRS)" what you have given looks like a Unique Number for each bank.I think this number can be used as a Bank Key.
Before that clarify me that whether each and every Bank has only one such number for all the Customers. Else just tell us the usage of this Number.

[Solved] Problem using kdebindings for ruby

As a weekend project I was going to look into using ruby as language for developing KDE plasma widgets.
I have kdebindings-ruby 4.6.0-1 along with the required kdebindings-smoke 4.6.0-1.
When trying:
require "plasma_applet"
I get the error:
LoadError: libsmokebase.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory - /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-linux/plasma_applet.so
However when checking the directory
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.9.1/x86_64-linux/
32K plasma_applet.so
shows up clear as day.
So what gives? I haved tried to find an answer here on the forums and on google but perhaps my google foo is too weak.
Thanks
Edit: With some more google foo I found this: https://github.com/pcapriotti/kaya/issu … ed#issue/3
Where this statement is made:
Kdebindings-smoke does not provide anymore libsmokebase.so.3, either in chakra-Linux or Arch Linux, was available in kde 4.5.5 but no in 4.6.0
Does this need to be submitted as a bug?

Kde plasma crash after upgrade

Upgraded x86-64 ext4 system with:
e2fsprogs hdparm libidn openjdk6 run-parts wxgtk
Reboot and plasma crashes with white screen.
Attempted to remove kde and re-install. After re-install, same plasma crash with white screen.

I reviewed the posted bugs but do not have the same problem AFAICT.
The problem occured following an upgrade of the noted packages but does not seem related to them.
My display turns white and I have no out except to go to a terminal. Dmesg reports plasma crashes with error 4.
Neopmuk is also part of the crash statement with a reference to libQtCore.so.4.4.3 error 4.
I know next to nada about plasma or neopmuk.
I am not using kdemod...full kde4.
It never shows up.
I have a back-up system which I don't want to upgrade due to this plasma crash.
I have a good ext4 system running with kde4 also but hesitate to upgrade for the same plasma problem area.
Not having much success with kde4...have a problem with akonadi as well which extends my boot time to more than 2 minutes due to server searches and failure to find needed files for akonadi.
Google search doesn't cover my failure problem.

Debating on what tv to get for under $3500...

I have narrowed down my decision on two possible tv's....on one hand I can get the Samsung PN63C8000 which is the 63 in plasma or the other get the huge DLP 82 Mitsubishi. I know I would get better picture quality with the plasma...but just wanted some feedback....

I second the opinion that Sony has fallen off, but I also second the opinion that flat screen TVs are of a wide variation of qualities. But lets use logic to decide this for sure. I remember having several Tube style TVs and still have many that are still working after 18+ years without an issue. Think about it, before flat screen and DLP projection all there was is tube, since the 50s all man had to refine was the same tech, therefore it became easy to master.
now with all this new technology and the constant advancement of technology we live in a very ADHD style of electronics market where everything keeps changing. knowing that, can one honestly think that these companies are taking their time to master each new technology that they think of? I'd argue that they are not. the closest tech mastery we have in TVs right now is either DLP (because Mitsubishi has continued to champion for it), and plasma (because Panasonic has taken plasma as their stand as their focus). but honestly, any flat panel cannot be proved to be as consistantly reliable as a tube TV.
therefore whatever you buy, be aware and be reasonable with your expectations. I usually tell my customers, that if they are lucky they should expect to receive 8-10 years of reasonable use out of their new TV, and thats if no problems ever arise. I will submit, that while I have no scientific proof, id estimate that 1 of every 20 flat panels would not make it past 3 years without a severe problem arising.

Connecting macbook to tv

Ive been looking around to see which cable i need to connect my macbook to the tv. im pretty sure i need this one "Apple Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter" but obviously it doesnt give me vga cables. so what adapter do i need after this one to be able to connect it to the tv?

I have an Intel Macbook which of course has the mini-DVI output, and I can connect it via a mini-DVI to DVI cable into the plasma telly I already own. This gives me a 1024x640 resolution on my plasma.

Vga cable: 14 vs 15 pin

I recently bought VGA splitter, that's 14 pin. My VGA cable is 15 pin.
After connecting the Cable to the splitter the monitor resolution goes down, then if the VGA cable is directly connected to the PC vga adapter.
So, I looked online to see diffrence between the 14 and 15 pin VGA. I could not find much information, but few blogs. They say 1 or 2 pins are obsolute, so there is no diffrence between 14 and 15 pin cable.
Then, I boght a 14 pin VGA cable to try. But it don't give the high resolution as 15 pin cable. It's same low resolution picture as 15 pin cable with splitter attached.
So is it right that 14 and 15 pin VGA cables are same, and if that's right do I need and display setting changed?
Connecting 14 pin cable don't even give the resolution option as 15 pin cable give in Display settings. There is only 3 option.

I have seen this problem and question in various forms many times, and have never seen the correct answer given. So here is the answer. Please spread it around, since many people seem to have the problem:
VGA 15 pin cables often have only 14 active pins. Pin 9 is missing. (This missing pin is on the middle row of pins, one pin from the end.) This missing pin is a problem for flat screen TVs.
Pin 9 is required by most, if not all, plasma and lcd TV's to supply back to the computer graphics card information about the available resolution of the monitor. Pin 9 carries a 5 volt signal to the DDC (display data channel). New computer monitors (LCD or CRT) do not seem to need this pin, and work fine without it -- as a result the majority of VGA cables labeled as "15 pin" really only have 14 pins, and this is never explained or noted in the packaging or product specifications! The only way to tell if a "15 pin" VGA cable actually has all 15 pins is to look at the connector and count the pins. If the middle row has only 4 pins, then the critical pin 9 is missing.
From the posts I have seen -- and from my own experience with my 50" Pioneer PDP-5070HD plasma TV -- nearly all flat screen TV's DO NEED this pin to return information about the native screen resolution.
I have seen dozens of posts by people trying to set up their HTPC's to work with their big screen plasma, but not being able to set the resolution (usually 1360 x 768) on their video adapter card. Some people on the forums argue they had "no problem" while others cannot make it work. People blame the video card or video card drivers. No one seems to figure out the problem is a missing pin on the supposedly standard "15 pin VGA cable" many people are using!
I had the same problem with my ATI 9800 Pro graphics card using a 15 pin VGA cable with only 14 pins. When I changed to a full and true 15 pin cable, the ATI 9800 immediately sensed the native resolution of the plasma TV.
So the difference between a 15 pin and a 14 pin VGA cable is not "just one pin", as one sarcastic idiot answered to a previous post of this question. The absence of the pin 9 signal (5 volt to the DDC) means your your very expensive plasma or LCD TV cannot notify your computer graphics card about its supported resolution. Get a VGA cable with all 15 pins, and your problem may be resolved. But you will have to search to find one by visually examining the plug. Remember, all the VGA cables are labeled and sold as "15 pin VGA cable" even if they actually have only 14 pins. Check it out.
(BTW, there is a reason to leave the 5 volt signal off the cable when it is not needed. However, for LCD and Plasma TV's, it is needed.)
