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/ ?

Printers not shown in gtk apps under KDE 4.7

Sorry if asked before, I searched a lot and tried many things but couldn't find a fix.
No gtk based app are showing my configured printers. This includes LibreOffice, GIMP and Chromium. The printers are, however, shown properly in every kde app and in Opera. http://localhost:631/printers/ also shows "No printers."
I'm running KDE 4.7.2.
Things I already tried:
- cp /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.default /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
- I already have installed libgnomeprint
- HostNameLookups Double in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
- I'm already in lpadmin group, which I also added to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
I don't really know when this problem started, probably a few weeks ago.
Thanks in advance.

Same issue here. Problem only occurs if you are using a custom shortcut (not one of the shortcuts mentioned in Main Shortcut.
I did a quick search and this is the only related post I have found on the topic so it seems like an Arch only problem. If it is a KDE problem, this http://www.commit-digest.org/issues/201 … 79ffe2ed8/ bug-fix could be the reason.

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

ISight not working for non-Apple apps under particular user account

I noticed that my iSight built into Macbook Pro 15" is not working anymore for non-Apple apps (Skype and Webex at least) and working for Facetime and Messages Beta under same account.
I tried to test it using different account on OS X with Skype and it is working great!
I'm using 10.7.3.
Any advice?

Hi,
I take it that in System Information the camera is listed under USB items ?
Your speps say OS x 10.7.2
Have you updated to OS X 10.7.3 ?
If you have I would start with that by doing a COMBO Version (Not using Software Update)
This will be everything that has been updated since OS X 107 came out and may catch those hard to trace issues.
Using the FInder > Go Menu > Hold the ALT key and Select the Library that appears > then navigate to Preferences.
In here find the Skype .plist.
Open it with Quick Look.
Can you capture that (Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + Shift + 4 together (Also tap space bar at the end to get the Window) ) ? and post it here.
I don't use Skype and don't have the .plist to see if it lists the camera.
If it does it might pay to delete the.plist and force Skype to re-***** the hardware. (It also depends how much of your other settings are in there)
In the meantime if you go to the Skype Preferences can you see a Preview of the camera ?
Can you turn Off access to the camera and turn it On again in Skype ?
Skype does use Flash Player to do the Video.
Is Webex a browser led thing that uses Flash ?
If it looks like it is a Flash Issue do you have the GoogleTalk Video Plugin installed (there is a standalone and it is part of Chrome) ?

[Solved] Slow resizing for some apps under KDE4.

I use KDE4 (with the default theme) and Radeon graphic card (free driver). My problem is that the resizing of some windows is really slow. The problem does not appear with the KDE QT applications, but mostly for some old apps. Claws-mail is particularly affected. I do not think it is really a driver problem because claws-mail is unaffected in other window manager (as the default one in Ubuntu, with the same driver) as well in more primitive window managers like icewm. Moreover, native KDE4 QT apps behave properly.
It seems that modern Qt apps redraw approximatively while the resizing and do a final, complete redraw when it is finished, so it is smooth. Claws-mail redraw every time and it's not smooth. However, with other window managers, claws-mail does not redraw at all while the resizing and redraw one time at the end which is less visually appealing, but nevertheless smooth (it was probably the old method); for some reason it redraw every time while the resizing in KDE4.
I am only guessing and have not been able to find a proper documentation nor any fix. Anyone can point me in the right direction?

I reply to my own post. The culprit was the oxygen GTK theme under KDE. Under KDE, change it to Raleigh with System Setting -> Application Appearance -> GTK and the problem is solved. I had a problem with bluegriffon (from the AUR) that crashes. It was suggested here that the oxygen GTK theme was the culprit: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic … Xb92OyWNj8 . Indeed, after changing the theme, no more crash, and as no more problem with resizing windows!. Strange bugs though, I would have thought of everything but the GTK theme ?!?

KDE fonts under Gnome doesn't look good

Ok, most people complains about GTK fonts under KDE. I have the inverse problem, my kde apps doesn't look good into gnome.
If I run kde, the fonts are displayed properly with small size, but if I run gnome and the run a kde app, the fonts are very big.
When i run a gtk app under kde, the fonts are showed properly but it doesn't use my gnome theme.
Anyone have a solution on making kde apps looking good under gnome?

Even though it's the inverse problem, it's likely still the same solution. Gnome has a Gconf setting for DPI. Otherwise you change it as an option to X. Where you do so depends on how you start up X though (startx, xdm, kdm, gdm, etc). I'll post back once I'm in Gnome and tell you where you can change the DPI.

Mute KDE Apps in Non KDE Environment (xfce4, gnome, ...)

Hi guys!
I did not find anything useful about the following problem:
I use xfce4 and think it is great (no problem so far). In addition to that krusader is my top browser.
Ok I know that the slickness of xfce is lost if I use kde apps but here is my problem: Everytime I delete a file/dir my sound level goes up to 100% and the speakers (or the headphones) go *BLABLING*.
I know from here [1] and here [2] that this is due to KDE settings.
I don't want to install the whole KDE environment, start it up and untick the System Notifications from there. I want to install that one package that controls them.
On ubuntu the package is called systemsettings [3] but I did not find anything similar in the arch repository.
Here is my uname: 3.18.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Feb 7 08:44:05 CET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Maybe these installed packages are of some relevance:
Xfce 4.12
pulseaudio 6.0
pulseaudio-alsa 2-3
alsa-lib 1.0.29-1
lib32-libpulse 6.0-1 (not quite sure why I have a 32bit package here but I don't think that causes any trouble)
krusader 2.4.0beta3-5
Thanks for any help and sorry if I did not found the same question here on this forum.
Have a great day,
Matt

[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.

Ok no difference, I don't get any drive errors that seem significant or numerous, sometimes I don't get any at all, the disk always verifies and I haven't had to run a repair on it yet. I've gotton one or two drive errors, I'll save them next time I run either DU or DW.... however with permissions, there are a lot and they all fix (except: see below: Last 3: ACL errors are always there) but as I keep having to do force quits and system re boots they keep coming back; posted them below IDK if this will help you to help me, LOL... but figured it couldn't hurt, the ones below are re-occuring I know i've seen them b4. . . Don't know if this makes a difference but on initial install I had several font conflicts w/system fonts, I renamed suitcases and that error message hasn't come back . . . but do you think this could be a font issue . . . I have like 12,000 fonts of which a couple hundred are ususally always active . . . IDK it doesn't make sense to me it would be, but you never know... just a shot in the dark
I also saved my last PS crash report and it was like 100 Pages long, I've never seen one that long, I make a pdf of it and post link to my idisk, if its something that you can interpet.

OSX now crashes every hour. For no obvious reason or trigger, suddenly OSX apps like Dock, desktops, launchpad, finder, toolbar, etc become unresponsive, although sometimes non OSX apps (like Chrome, TextMate, etc) remain functioning briefly, before the whole thing hangs and needs a hard reboot.
It is not apparent what I do to provoke the crash -- it happens while I am in seemingly any application, sometimes just reading a page and not taking any actions.
This started happening very suddenly two days ago. It might have happened around the time I updated ITunes but I'm not sure of this at all. And I never use ITunes or have it open.
Don't know how to diagnose the problem since nothing is accessible whence it freezes up on me. I tried software update, but problem continued after. Would appreciate troubleshooting advice. Thanks!

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Non-Universal Apps won't launch on Intel Macs with Unsanity's App Enhancer

I just got a new Intel MacBook Pro and ran into a problem with lauching non-Universal apps. When I tried to launch them, their icon would bounce once or twice in the dock, and then nothing. After many hours and a call to Apple support without any luck, I started searching tis support forum, and found an old post with something about a problem with Unsanity's products (WindowShade & others). It turns out that their Application Enhancer component was the problem. Unsanity claims it is due to a bug in OS X that Apple hasn't fixed yet. Be that as it may, Unsanity has been very responsible in providing a fix, located in the App Enhancer Preference Pane under System Prefs. Just open the prefs and push on the button labled "Rosetta Troubleshooting". That problem solved.
Unfortunately, App Enhancer still seems to wreak havoc with Palm's HotSync Manager.

You will find that Unsanity's "fix" doesn't always work. If you install FruitMenu you will find many PPC apps fail to launch regardless of the fix. In that case open APE and turn FruitMenu off temporarily. Also click on the Excluded Apps tab and drag the PPC app you want to run into the list box.
Finally, if that doesn't help (although it should) then open the Terminal and at the prompt enter the following command line pressing return at the end:
sudo killall translated

KDE Apps not Launching in KDE

Non KDE apps such as firefox, minecraft, and lxterminal work. I'm fairly certain this problem has something to do with the homefolder because I completly reloaded arch and kde but I didn't wipe my home partition and the problem persisted until I removed and readded my user. when trying to run a kde app from LXterminal I get no output whatsover and I have to ctrl+c.
I like KDE but this is really ticking me off. Any ideas?
Edit: I've narrowed it down to the .kde4 folder. Removing it fixed the problem but I'm fairly certain it will be back.
Edit2: Its back. Please Help Me!!!

Thats the thing, when the problem occurs, I can launch non KDE apps (minecraft, firefox, etc.) from Lancelot, Kickoff or from the alt+f2 launcher, but not kde apps. I installed a non KDE terminal (LXterminal) and try to run a KDE app from their I don't get any errors or output what so ever. It just sits there until I terminate it with ctrl+c. I noticed that there are some sort of cache in ~/.kde4 could that be the problem?

English reviews in non English app stores

In the past it was possible to see the English / American reviews in non-English app stores. It would be more than nice to get that ability back. In small countries there are often not that many reviews and also English speaking people in non-English countries should be able to read reviews.

Are you referring to the Customer Reviews? iTunes doesn't distinguish which language is used by the customer in writing the review so it can't filter out those you don't want to see. In fact someone could write one review and use many languages in it, but it seems those that speak German are the most vocal in the Swiss store.
This is also a user forum. Responses are from other users of Apple products. It is mainly for other users helping you with a problem that they can fix. If you want to give feedback to Apple select Provide iTunes Feedback from the iTunes menu from within the iTunes application.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Please look up for *.desktop file structure, all you need to do is create a /usr/share/applications/komodo.desktop file with the appropriate content. You can start with any other desktop file as template.
