[Solved] KDE mimetype issue?
Hi all.
I'm having a rather annoying issue with KDE/Ktorrent/Kiso. Whenever I choose one of the "Open directory" options from within Ktorrent, it KDE uses Kiso for it. I'm pretty sure that I caused this myself a while back by messing with KDE's mimetype settings but cannot remember which. Eventhough I removed Kiso, the problem still persists and was carried through different versions of Ktorrent but IIRC not KDE3/kdemod3 to KDE4. Any suggestions/help will be greatly appreciated and I'd be happy to supply any information you might need.
Currently using kdemod3 and also had the issue while using the official KDE3 packages. I know that wiping ~/.kde/ might solve it but I'd rather use that as a last resort.
Cheers.
Edit:
Seems I messed it with with a custom ~/.local/share/applications/kiso.desktop. Deleted it and all is well.

Yes, I made sure these settings are correct...
It's really odd, I have localised texts in the system settings, but menu bars are English. Also it says "Arbeitsfläche settings", not "Desktop settings int he contect menu on the desktop.
At bootup today I realsized the Samba server also complains about locale:
/etc/rc.d/functions: line 67: warning: setlocale: LC_CTYPE: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory
/etc/rc.d/functions: line 67: warning: setlocale: LC_NUMERIC: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8): No such file or directory

I really don'T know what's going on.

[extra:editors] nvu 1.0 with KDE mimetypes
Introduction
The Nvu WYSIWYG web editor is available on two flavors: the standard build which do not require KDE, and another one which use KDE to provide mimetypes icons on the Site Manager. This thread supports only the KDE mimetypes version. For the non KDE version, look here.
Below is a comparison picture of both Site Managers so you can compare and decide then which version do you want to install.
Note: Both packages share the same directory structure, which means only one of them can be installed at the same time. That's the reason a conflict restriction exists between them.
Pre Install Notes
1. If upgrading from 0.80 or earlier, remove the .nvu dir in your home folder. Already have 0.90 or later? Can keep your dir and settings.
2. Look the Change Log at the botton for a summary of the changes.
Installation
1. Grab a gziped tar from on AUR site here, or the splited files below:
a. PKGBUILD
b. mozconfig
c. nvu.desktop
d. mozilla-1.7.3-ft2.patch or get it from /var/abs/network/mozilla-firefox (or mozilla-thunderbird)
e. nvu-0.70-domainfix.patch
f. launcher.patch
g. mozilla-ext
h. nvu-browser-ext
i. nvu-1.0PR-kdesitemanager.patch
j. nvu-nonroot.tar.gz
2. Create the folder to store the files with the name nvu-kde on your abs/local folder
$ mkdir /var/abs/local/nvu-kde
3. Put the files on that directory
$ cp * /var/abs/local/nvu-kde
4. Change to /var/abs/local/nvu-kde dir and build the package
# cd /var/abs/local/nvu-kde && makepkg
5. Install the package
# pacman -U nvu-kde-1.0-1.pkg.tar.gz (Upgrading a previous version installed, or)
# pacman -A nvu-kde-1.0-1.pkg.tar.gz (Adding or installing a new program)
Post Installation & Enhancements
After installing Nvu and recommended prior to its first execution, but can be done anytime, visit this link which allow the normal user to add themes & extensions to Nvu and in fact, to all mozilla product line installed on your computer.
This step will not be included on the package until the changes explained on that HOWTO became adopted by other Arch mozilla packages.
Troubleshooting:
Click the icon and doesn't run: Run it from the console, and if you got a loop message with the phrase "Loading the extensions datasource", then as root type:
$ nvu -register
and run nvu again as a user, and report your sucess or failure here.
Loading the extensions datasource message on shell: Look above for the workaround.
FAQ
1. Browse button and help hyperlinks open mozilla-firefox and I would like to open another browser. Edit your /opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla-ext, comment the line exec $MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME/firefox $url and uncomment one of the other lines. Currently you can choose between firefox, mozilla, opera and konqueror.

Doc modified 2005-07-01: Updated info.
Files modified in 2005-06-31: PKGBUILD, nvu-nonroot.tar.gz
2005-07-01 (1.0-1) Upgraded to 1.0, smaller nonroot patch.
2005-04-15 (1.0PR-1) Upgrade to 1.0PR, return to nonroot patch so Gnome users can compile without root.

2005-02-05 (0.80-1) Updated to 0.80.
2005-01-19 (0.70-2) Freetype2 fix, file structure matches other mozilla apps. Mozilla-common dependency added.
2005-01-12 (0.70-1) First version with KDE mimetypes support.
Hope you enjoy it.New package for the 0.81 version.
In addition to the updated version, I made the following enhancements or changes to the package:
1. Remove some locale directories bundle with nvu which belongs to mac and windows architectures.
2. Added a mozilla-ext script which is execute a predefined browser either when the browse button is pressed or a hyperlink from the help menu entries is clicked. Previous versions do nothing on those actions. The default browser is firefox, but the file can be edited if your current browser is other. Just edit /opt/mozilla/bin/mozilla-ext, comment the first browser which is firefox, and uncomment the one you want to use.
3. The most important in terms of usage and future package maintenance is the replacement of the nonroot.tar.gz file with the -register option. That change takes out the most difficult and time consuming patch of the package. That means faster releases.
Since many changes were done to the package, please test it and post any success or failure. -

Solving Centro hotsync issues without a hard reset
I have a Centro (sprint). I am running Windows Vista. I cannot connect with hotsync. Whenever I try, I get the following message -- "The connection between your handheld computer and the desktop could not be established. Please check your setup and try again." I went through the article referenced at the beginning of this forum and performed all the suggestions (reloaded Palm desktop 6.2, the outlook 2007 update, soft restart, etc.). I took it to a repair center and they stated the ONLY way to fix it was to do a hard reset which would lose all info. Since I can't hotsync, I haven't been able to backup the phone which means I'll lose everything. I'm hoping there are some other suggestions I could try. It seems contrary that the only way to solve a hotsync issue and save your data is to do a hard reset and lose all your data. Thanks.
Post relates to: Centro (Sprint)Is your Vista 64 bit or 32 bit?
Try performing a warm reset of your device... Take out the battery press and hold the UP button insert the battery while holding the UP navigator button wait until you see set date and time then release the button. Connect the phone back to the PC and try perform a hotsync. -

Facetime is not in the App store. It is part of the iOS. You access Facetime on the phone via the contact section. Facetime needs to be activated in Settings. The only reason you may not have it is if you purchased the device in an area where Facetime is prohibited by law.

[SOLVED] KDE issues (takes 10 minutes to start, oxygen theme)
Hi everyone,
after today's update, KDE is taking about 10 minutes to fully start (instead of 5 seconds - i have an SSD), about 3-4 minutes to get over the splash screen,
then 3-4 minutes black desktop, and then slowly the taskbar, then the icons on systray and so on.
First i thought the changes with the "filesystem" package totally broke KDE, but no, it starts if i wait... the CPU, HDD are on idle, i have no idea what is waiting for
so long, also i have no idea what to check in which logs ... help is appreciated or any idea where i could start checking.
Also the oxygen theme is gone from GTK apps, like firefox, i have the ugly old gtk style ... (like here http://www.gefoo.org/generalfoo/uploads … 4.8.1.png)
Thanks.
Last edited by LyCC (2013-06-04 16:40:32)Hi pbera and thanks,
i did the
pacman -Rn oxygen-gtk2 oxygen-gtk3
pacman -S oxygen-gtk2 oxygen-gtk3
restarted firefox, nothing ... after reboot however it's ok now, all gtk apps have the oxygen style (probably something wasn't updated with the oxygen package update ... who knows).
About KDE i suspected it's the Network manager to blame since i noticed later that it was completely missing, so i removed and installed again, rebooted but still the same 10 minutes untill kde loads ...
then i remembered that i renamed the /sbin to /sbin.old and the /usr/sbin to /usr/sbin.old because there ware some files in it before the update, despite
$ pacman -Qqo /bin /sbin /usr/sbin | pacman -Qm -
telling me that no one uses those folders, the following files ware left in them:
ls /sbin.old/
ls -l /sbin.old/
total 92
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 18880 Oct 12 2012 halt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 40624 Oct 12 2012 init
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 12 2012 poweroff -> halt
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 12 2012 reboot -> halt

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23304 Oct 12 2012 shutdown
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Oct 12 2012 telinit -> init
and
ls /usr/sbin.old/
ck-log-system-restart ck-log-system-stop dl10k1 ld10k1d rc.d
ck-log-system-start console-kit-daemon ld10k1 NetworkManager
now, i took these files (of which a bunch are junk for sure) and copied back into the new /usr/bin, rebooted, and bingo ...
I marked the topic as solved, but i have no idea which of these files caused the issue. The only single one that was of these present in the new usr/bin was the NetworkManager, which i reinstalled as I mentioned already ... so, i have no clue why, but it's working fine now ...
[strike]edit: i wanted to ask, which package contains the poweroff, reboot, etc. commands? since those ware left in the old sbin and pacman didn't know of any package containing them.[/strike]

[SOLVED] weird graphics issue on KDE
look what is this
what is going on here
everything else works fine (posting from chromium right now)
i figure it might be a driver issue
lspci gives VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
so i installed extra/xf86-video-intel 2.17.0-2 (xorg-drivers xorg) [installed] X.org Intel i810/i830/i915/945G/G965+ video drivers
are there alternative open source drivers, or should i try setting up proprietary drivers somehow
or maybe this isnt even a driver issue?
edit: forgot to mention this is KDE full install with the latest stable xorg and kde packages
Last edited by alchemator (2012-02-24 04:40:18)There are no proprietary drivers for intel, there's just what you have installed. There's one problem though - 8xx cards aren't supported anymore. You're lucky you get any picture at all. But for proper functioning you'll have to either go without 3d acceleration, or possibly without any acceleration at all (except xv overlay for video playback).
To turn off 3d accel, create /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf with this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "old intel stuff"
Driver "intel"
Option "DRI" "off"
EndSection
To turn off all acceleration:
Section "Device"
Identifier "old intel stuff"
Driver "intel"
Option "ShadowFB" "on"
EndSection -
[Solved] Site display issues in Firefox 11.0-2/KDE 4.8.1
I have been having issues with the form fields of the AUR page. Specifically, with any version of Firefox after v9; the fields are incredibly small. (See http://imgur.com/KEdYk for what it looks like). I have removed gtk-kde4, and even created a vanilla user with a brand-new home directory, and this other user profile experiences the same problem. edit: In a fresh install of GNOME 3, the AUR page displays correctly. Also displays correctly if I revert to FF v9
This problem doesn't occur in Chromium, so I thought it was a FF issue, however, I've not heard of anybody else with this same problem... So I'm a little stumped. I filed a bug report a while back, (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/28613 ), but it has been closed. Any help in diagnosing and/or fixing this issue would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks!
Last edited by Axanon (2012-03-25 14:03:55)That is sounding quite strange. I've had display issues similar to yours with login fields and search fields that are usually at the top of a we page appearing distorted and on top of each other. Another prevalent problem that I noticed on YouTube was that text I enter into any field doesn't show up, but it is entered and I can search. I'm running xfce so I don't know what to say. Haven't had the problem in gnome, though I really don't like gnome 3 for its lack of what of what I considered organizational hierarchy. (though I am against hierarchies of other sorts), Ive also found that clearing the Firefox cache can solve some of these problems.

[SOLVED] Major weird issues with KDE/Qt apps and unicode
Hi, I've tried to search for my problem, but nothing has showed up, so if this has already been answered, please forgive me.
Anyway, I use KDE as my primary desktop environment with SKIM as my unicode input method. After installing SKIM and Japanese fonts back when I first set Arch up, I have never had any issues with inputting unicode or displaying it in any program, whether that be irssi running through Konsole, or the song titles in Amarok. That all changed this afternoon, somehow...
The only major changes I can remember making to my system today are the following:
1.) I installed Awesome Window Manager to check it out
2.) I installed a pkgbuild of urxvt
3.) I made an .Xdefaults file and added these lines to customize my urxvt
After messing around with these things, I decided that Awesome wasn't a suitable WM for me, went back into KDE, and removed the package. I noticed a few strange issues after that though:
1. Foreign characters refuse to display properly in any terminal emulator.
2. Foreign characters come up as jumble in Konqueror now as well, when they never did before:
3. SKIM refuses to let me input Japanese characters with Anthy in any KDE app. The option for Japanese just isn't there, even though I have it installed:
4. Foreign characters display perfectly as tags for songs in Amarok, but if the music file itself has foreign characters in it, the title is garbled and the track is unplayable:
5. SKIM works absolutely fine in non-KDE apps like Firefox:
As seen in the last example, my Japanese fonts are all installed, and SKIM is working as it should in any non-KDE app, suggesting that there are no problems on that end. The issue seems to be with something in KDE, but I have no idea where to begin fixing it. Furthermore, I have no idea what could have caused this issue in the first place. I don't see how installing a window manager or terminal emulator package could have screwed up my fonts, and the .Xdefaults file I wrote just contained config information for urxvt. Nothing else. I even ended up deleting that, but it did not fix my problem.
If you could be of any help, I'd really appreciate it. I have a lot of files with foreign characters in them, and being able to read them is essential.

[SOLVED] KDE Plasma 5 | Lock Screen Issues
Everytime my computer locks - whether it be manually or automaticly, I get this lock menu with 3 options. The first option has my username and my avatar, which prompts me for my password. Everytime I type in the correct password, the screen turns black and then reloads the lock screen. Which makes it impossible for me to log back into my session leaving me unable to leave my computer on ever. I can create a new Session from the same menu but when ever I do create a new Session after being locked out, not a single app will launch. And I know I am putting in the correct password because when I purposly put in an incorrect password; the screen doesn't turn black, it just gives me a diffrent prompt. Another issue I am facing with KDE at the moment is about 80% of the time when I shut down my computer, I get a crash report from most of the applications running, for expamle kwin. I'm only saying this incase it is relevant, it is annoying but at least it doesn't prevent me from getting work done. Also, I used KDE's suggested SDDM for login.

[SOLVED] Post installation issues with KDE 4.7.0
I reinstalled my machine (DELL Studio 540 PC) with Arch Linux 64 bit. I did an install using LVM2 and RAID (have 2 500 GB drives in my machine). Everything went fine with the installation and bootloader (grub2) but I'm having a few issues with KDE and grub2.
1. When booting my machine grub2 gives an error saying "error: fd0 not found" (twice). My machine does not have a floppy drive and has never had one. There is no option in the BIOS to turn floppy off. So why is grub2 complaining about it?
2. With KDE 4.7.0 thumbnails of pdf files are not generated anymore, they were with previous versions of KDE4. Anybody else have that issue with 4.7?
3. I have and Brother DCP-7045n printer in my network and when try to print from a KDE program (Koffice, Kate, Kwrite, Kile etc.), the margins are completely messed up. The print preview on the screens looks right but the actual print everything shift upwards to the right. So things on top of a page are cut off for example. Printing from Gnome/GTK apps (Acrobat Reader, Libreoffice etc.) do not show this behaviour. I 've had this issue with KDE4 since KDE 4.3. Here is the original ustream bug:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196590
Anybody got an idea how to fix this?
4. Skype is crashing on me on startup constantly several times before it finally runs. I've had this problem since the 2.2.x series got released? Anybody got a fix for that. I was hoping a reinstall would fix that problem (same with the printing issue) but no luck.
5. I'm using KDE's microblogging plasma app to check my twitter account but I can't get to remember my password. Everytime I log into I have to manually login to my twitter and kdewallet is running and has my password stored and everything. This one really pusles me.
6. The final issue I having and issue was also the reason why I wanted to reinstall my machine in the first place. I originally used KDEmod as my desktop but they stopped making KDEmod some time ago when they started working on Chakra. So I removed KDEmod and installed KDE from Arch directly. A nice feature of KDE4 is its ability to generate previews on folders containing images and videos. When I switched to KDE that feature stopped working. So I was expecting that with a fresh install that this work and it does except for folders containing jpeg files. If I have a folder containing only jpeg files no previews/thumbnails are generated on the folder but previews the jpeg files themselves are generated. Does anybody else have that problem with jpegs and folder previews?
Hope somebody can help me with these few issues...

Have you installed grub2 with that --no-floppy flag as described in:

Nope. Is it selected in dolphin>settings>general>previews.

Well that won't be a solution, but you might use choqok instead - at least it stores the password.
To answer your first answer, yes I installed grub2 with the --no-floppy option as mentioned in the wiki. Regarding 2 I don't understand why that works for you then? I have all things turned on under previews (folder, video, jpeg etc.) but as mentioned in my first post I have no previews with pdf files and jpegs do generate on folder previews. Finally regarding 5 the microblogging plasma app worked fine on my old installation even after I updated to KDE 4.7.0. The password issue I'm having is on my fresh install. -
[Solved] KDE Desktop Effects no longer working
Hello,
I just did an update, (I didn't think it was a major one, I don't recall seeing graphics update, though I'm not sure how to confirm - is there a way to see recently updated packages in yaourt?) and after a brief issue with powertop that was solved by a restart (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=179789 - it may be unrelated though) I found that when I restarted, KWin Crashed, and since then, my desktop effects are not working.
I have gone to the KDE Desktop Effects Settings Menu, and under the advanced menu, set the compositing type back to OpenGL 3.1, clicked apply, and confirmed that I wanted to try it even though it had evidently crashed Kwin. I then received a message stating "21 desktop effects could not be loaded". When I clicked details, a popup window said:
"For technical reasons it is not possible to determine all possible error causes.
Desktop effect system is not running."
For the record, I am on a Thinkpad X201 with intel graphics.
Any ideas?
Last edited by TheGuyWithTheFace (2014-04-19 07:35:43)Some Extra information:
I just tried a restart, that didn't work.
I then went back into effect settings, and saw that "enable effects at startup" was not checked. I also saw that under the advanced settings, Qt Graphics system was set to raster. Since I'm not sure which it was supposed to be on originally, but the current configuration wasn't working, I also set that to Native, and then clicked apply. KWin then crashed, here is the output:
Application: KWin (kwin), signal: Aborted

To enable execution of this file add
add-auto-load-safe-path /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.19-gdb.py

To completely disable this security protection add
set auto-load safe-path /
