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).

I got no messages on the terminal, and restarting KDE or even rebooting did not help. But killing some stale processes did, so now I just wonder where those came from...
Thanks for your help anyways!

KDE apps in awesome: ugly and missing icons

Hi,
I use awesome WM and now installed a KDE app (rkward). The problem: It looks like sh** and all the icons are missing.
What additional package is needed to display them? And can the complete look be improved too?

I agree. I don't rely on iCloud as a backup, that is what I have my portable hard drive for. Its 500 GB so I can hold my entire iTunes library several times over on it. I have all my movies on my hard drive, but somehow "The Mist" got deleted off of my hard drive, so I figured "Well, the option to redownload an already purchased movie is available through iCloud, I'll just do that!"
And permissions and download availability have nothing to do with it, the movie's still there, it still allows me to redownload it. The only problem is when I click download, I get that message.
And nobody else uses my computer, but I do have multiple accounts authorized on it. Even still though, I am attepmpting to download it through the account I purchased it under. :/

[SOLVED]NetworkManager won't work since updating to KDE 4.3.4

Hello there,
I'm running Arch64 on Qosmio X300 notebook. I have just updated to KDE 4.3.4 and since the update the NetworkManager won't connect to my wifi (I haven't tried wired yet). I use following packages for NetworkManager and KNetworkManager applet
kdeplasma-applets-networkmanager 1047027-1
networkmanager 0.7.2-1
There seems to be nothing strange in the daemons.log, but the KNMgr tray icon keeps saying "Networking information not available" and when I click it I get "Network Management Disabled" instead of the usual menu. I still can configure network manually and wicd is also working fine.
I remember putting my notebook to suspend-to-disk by mistake instead of shutting it down right after the update, so that's when it might have gone crazy. I tried reinstalling NetworkManager and the KDE applet and googling around a bit, but nothing has helped so far...

Trying to buy Imovie form App store and have the message: These apps cannot be accepted on this computer. Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update. How to solve it?

I have a MBP form July 2011, upgraded to Lion 10.7.4. Last week I had to restore the OS.
I also bought some time ago Iphoto.
Today I wanted to install Imovie from App Store. Instead of the Buy bottom I found an Accept bottom and when I tryed to install I had the message:
These apps cannot be accepted on this computer.
Future updates of these apps can be found through Software Update.
I looked for a solution and found a lot of questions about this error but not real answers to fix it.
Can you please let me know hoe to fix?

Your Mac should have had all three of the iLife apps pre-bundled with it; iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand. If your Mac came with Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed, then the apps should be on the Install DVD that came with your Mac, perhaps in a folder on the disc labeled bundled apps. After installing them, these apps would not be updated through the Mac App Store, but with Software Update.

KDE apps not working in Openbox, Fluxbox, or XFCE [solved]

Whenever I try to run any KDE apps in Openbox, fluxbox, XFCE etc. it gives me "no such file or directory" or "command not found" or what have you. Everything works fine in KDEmod but the only KDE app I've made work in anything else was ktorrent just for a test. It's like they don't even exist outside of KDE. I've been very successful at moving to Openbox besides this, and it's VERY frustrating because I really want some of these programs. Any ideas?

good deal
If you want to configure your xfce menu, you can add .desktop files to /usr/share/applications. k3b.desktop could be something like:
[Desktop Entry]
Name=K3b
Exec=/opt/kde/bin/k3b
Icon=/opt/kde/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/k3b.png
Type=Application

Xcompmgr messing with openbox windows (conky and kde apps only)

here's the involved packages:
openbox 3.4.7.2-1
nvidia 177.82-1
xorg-server 1.5.3-3
xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
kdelibs3 3.5.10-2
conky 1.6.1-2
now the issue is primarily with xcompmgr. when it's running (default options or the whole -cCfF... stuff doesn't make a difference). i have the following:
whenever a kde apps window opens. (i.e. i start amarok or k3b; k3b opens new windows during burn start/stop process) my conky will disappear only to flicker and reappear a few seconds later. (this only happens with kde apps)
when i'm tweaking my conky i will often `pkill conky; sleep 3; conky` to see my changes. when i kill conky, ALL of my active windows on the current desktop disappear and only reappear if a) they are redrawn because of an update to their contents on their own accord, or b) (kinda the same thing) i grab a window and drag it all over the screen resetting whatever i pass over to it's correct visual state. (this only happens when killing conky)
this is annoying me, i love the shadows/fading from xcompmgr but this flickering makes my whole experience feel unstable and i have to turn it off after a few minutes. turn off xcompmgr and it's rock solid just as before... snappier too i think.
this behavior started immediately after the recent xorg update (i saved that for last because i know were all sick of _that_). i changed nothing, but for the -Syu when this happened.
anyways, your thoughts and help is much appreciated.

so i'm resurrecting this thread because i hoped, and prayed, that xorg 1.6 in testing would fix this problem. i've been working my ass off to keep my system back in xorg 1.4. my desktop just looks so oldfashioned w/o shadows and transparency.
ok so to re-outline, i'm running:
pacman -Q stuff
xorg-server 1.6.0-1
nvidia 180.29-3
openbox 3.4.7.2-1
xcompmgr 1.1.4-1
with this gpu:
hwd -s | grep video
Video : GeForce 7150 / nForce 630i server: XFree86 (vesa)
i created a minimal xorg.conf via nvidia-xconfig an added a few suggested options (although they _really_ don't seem to affect this bug...):
cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
# nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig
# nvidia-xconfig: version 1.0 (buildmeister@builder62) Thu Feb 5 00:08:50 PST 2009

EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Device0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
EndSubSection
EndSection
now, here's what happens:
i startx, .xinitrc or autostart.sh bring up xcompmgr, bmpanel, and conky
if i open amarok or k3b, conky and bmpanel (both using transparency) vanish while the splash screen(s) show.
when i burn something with k3b (and new windows appear) i see similar behavior
sometimes it's just for a sec and then it's back, sometimes conky comes back with part of itself missing
also, if you execute `pkill conky` from an xterm, all windows are 'destroyed' until you [blindly] grab that xterm window and move it about your desktop 'revealing' the desktops contents. please see this screenshot for this in action.
killing xcompmgr fixes all this... but it's so ugly. the problems go away if i downgrade to xorg-server 1.4 (and also adjust any related/dependant packages to match).
please please, tell me i'm not alone! a fix would be nice too .
thanks in advance... again

I changed my Apple ID password and validated it OK but when I try to update or download apps now it asks me to enter password and then says it's not been validated. how do I get out of this?

I changed my Apple ID password and successfully validated it. Problem is the iPad App Store won't recognise me anymore. if I select an App to update it asks me to enter password, then says "You have not verified your Application ID.Tap OK to view the instructions on how to verify your ID.".
A new pop up box then appears saying an email has been sent to my address. The box to resend this is greyed out and the bottom line says "your email has already been validated successfully. thank you."
Any suggestions on how to solve this problem and force the iPad to let me update or download Apps again?

Same issues here. I try and log into face time and cloud, it tells me my email is not veryfied. I go back through the link sent in the verification email and, low and behold, it tells me my address has already been veryfied.
Getting really annoyed now. I have tried using a different email to log in with, but not even getting the verify email in my inbox, even after it states it has sent one.
CMON APPLE!!! Please resolve this glitch.

How can I use KDE apps in Openbox?

I like using Openbox because it fits very well in my netbook, it's fast and lightweight. I also like to use a good file manager, like Dolphin and a image viewer like Gwenview. I can perfectly run those apps in Openbox, but there is a dark side.
When I execute them, a bunch of extra processes come in, like knotify, kded4, khelper, kacpid, and a lot with "k"! I hate that because even after all the apps are closed, knotify (and the others) still running and consume about 90% of the CPU (specially knotify) when in normal use (without KDE apps), the average usage of it is about 10%
Is there any way to use a "standalone" Dolphin or Gwenview or any other KDE app?
Thanks!

I use also some KDE applications in openbox, and I saw also the 7% cpu usage of knotify4 after the upgrade to KDE 4.6 with a new $HOME/.kde4.
I could suppress that the same way as mentioned in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=77531 post #2
ie choosing "No audio output" for the notifications.
I use regularly Konsole and play some KDE games; here are the KDE related processes running continuously :
berbae 4400 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kdeinit4 Runnin e
berbae 4402 4400 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: klauncher [kdei e
berbae 4404 1 0 10:32 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4: kded4 [kdeinit]
root 4412 1 0 10:32 ? 00:01:31 /usr/lib/upower/upowerd
berbae 4458 1 0 10:33 tty1 00:00:09 konsole
berbae 4460 4458 0 10:33 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/bash
berbae 4562 1 0 10:44 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/knotify4
With these processes running I get 0-1% cpu usage, of course after the change with the notifications output.
Hope that will solve also your issue.

Security code is invalid. - Cannot Update or Purchase Apps

Same issue as so many others. Again (this happened before but all I had to do was renter my credit card info). I was able to delete account and re-enter in both iTunes or online and it worked but not this time. Either the recent Safari update, iTunes update or iOS 4 killed the ability to use my nextwave Titanium Pre-paid credit card which I was using for over a year and a half with no problem. I was shipped a new card a few months ago, but up until yesterday, it was working absolutely fine for updates and purchases on the iTunes Music Store in Canada, even with a new security code. As it stands I can't update any of my apps now and no changing of the credit card through either iTunes, Apple.ca, or the iPhone seems to allow my security code.
After speaking with Apple Canada Tech this morning, it appears to be an issue with prepaid cards. However, I do not use another credit card, and it has worked just fine prior to updates. I shouldn't have to pick up a prepaid iTunes card just to perform updates on my apps, especially when all was fine prior to the iTunes, iOS, or Safari updates. Easily 3 hours wasted trying to get this resolved so far.
Incredibly frustrating especially to a long-time Apple product user (over 20 years). I'm going to stop trusting updates again and hold off doing any since there never seems to be enough people/time allocated to the bug testing departments to fix these issues. Please Apple, let's get these things fixed before the product's release. You're killing the excitement of new releases and updates again.
Also: when the iPhone brings up the first dialog box that says you must tap 'OK' to sign in, and the dialog button actually says 'Continue', perhaps they should be the same word to show some consistency.

Just thought I'd try reentering my prepaid credit card info again using all of the various ways (iTunes, Apple.ca/Store, iPhone, and MobileMe) and of course nothing worked. Still an invalid security code or even invalid number. Of course, no response from Apple on here and the phone support tells me to try a pre-paid iTunes card. Isn't that tantamount to bait-and-switch when my original credit card worked in the first place? And what if I don't have a budget for that?
It's clear that these credit card issues are affecting a large number of users as Google searches turn up plenty of forum postings about these topics, not only on Apple's boards but other web forums. If there was at least some acknowledgment of the problems and an attempt to fix them, or some kind of iTunes store credit given in the meantime, it would go a long way to building goodwill among your client base.
As an Apple user of over 20 years, I have never seen as many bugs as I have in the last few years. In my humble opinion, while these forums are an excellent start, clearly they are not monitored enough and there is not enough done to correct these problems.
My iPhone 3G is now not only running incredibly slow thanks to iOS 4, but I still cannot update apps - even the free ones - which may solve some of the slow software issues and crashes. Sure, purchasing can be done with a prepaid iTunes card, but that's a practice one shouldn't have to resort to when your original card worked in the first place.
Very frustrated with this great company. You are capable of much better.

HT5622 my apple ID will not work when i try to update my installed apps. it works fine for itunes and for new apps.

when i try to update my installed apps, my password is not accepted. it works for everything else. any ideas?

Those apps must have been purchased under a different Apple ID. You will have to delete and re-purchase/re-download them under the new one to solve this issue.

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Since the last update my Numbers app in IOS, iPad3 and iphone5 will not open. It works fine on my macbook pro. It starts but before I can open a file it closes.

Since the last update my Numbers app will not load in either my iPad3 or my iPhone5. It works fine on my MacBook Pro. The app starts but before I can open a file it closes. Is this a common problem and do you know hwo to solve it?

Hi Michael,
If you've already restarted both your iOS devices after the update and Numbers for iOS still won't load, you might try clearing the documents temporarily out of iCloud, opening the apps, closing them, and then placing the documents back in iCloud.
To do this, in Finder on your Mac, hold down the option key and then Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers. Move the documents there out to the Desktop or other location of your choosing. Then give iCloud time to sync. Then try opening Numbers on iPad and on the iPhone. If they open, then close them, and move the documents back into Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and let iCloud sync again.
That sometimes clears up the problem.
