Wine and KDE hotkeys

I LIKE the KDE shortcuts so I don't want to permanently disable them. I would like them to be disabled whenever I run games in fullscreen under wine. For instance: Ctrl-F2 switches to desktop 2 which is great... Accept when I'm playing Diablo II. Can anyone think of any creative way to have shortcuts toggled on and off as I run wine?

Wine and KDE shortcuts

Using the Window-Specific workarounds I'm able to disable KDE global shortcuts. For example, in Diablo 2, ALT-F2 does not bring up the run dialog. GREAT!
My problem is that there are occasions that I want my full-screen wine application to loose focus or minimize; for example to make a Skype call. When someone calls me the Skype dialog and KDE taskbar pop to the front allowing me to minimize my wine application. However, I have no way of making a call without exiting the application.
I'm kind of at a loss here. I don't want to disable the KDE global shortcuts but I'd like some way of minimizing the full-screen wine application. Does anyone have a creative suggestion?

[SOLVED] Playing sound simultaniously from wine and other applications

I'm using Pulseaudio with the following packages installed:
~> pacman -Q | grep 'alsa\|pulse'
alsa-lib 1.0.27.2-1
alsa-plugins 1.0.27-2
alsa-utils 1.0.27.2-1
lib32-alsa-lib 1.0.27.2-1
lib32-libpulse 5.0-1
libpulse 5.0-1
pulseaudio 5.0-1
pulseaudio-alsa 2-2
When running a wine application sound works, unless a linux application is playing sound. If that is the case, no sound is playing from the wine app until sound from the linux application stops (for example by pausing smplayer).
Is there any way to make sound work simultaneously from wine and native applications?

Desktop - KDE

True, the point we're both doing is that one sub-vi OP's probably debugged is in highlight mode. Disabling highlighting as well as disable debugging must be done on a per vi basis.

[solved] Issue with conky and Kde 4

I have a small issue with conky and KDE 4.2. I start conky with a script which I stored under ~/.kde/Autostart. The script is simple and looks like this..
conky -c ~/.conkyrc_kde4
This works fine. But when I restart the first KDE and check with ps, I have 2 instances of conky running. The instances keep on growing with the number of restarts.
I think kde tries to restart all the apps which were running when the session was terminated. Is there a way to change this behavior in general or all the programs or for only a specific program like conky ?

Gnome and KDE 4.1 without mixing?

I'm running Gnome and love it, but wanted to give KDE 4.1 a chance so I installed it too. When logging in (GDM) I choose whether I want to run Gnome or KDE 4.1, but when I boot KDE the kde menus are full Gnome stuff, and when I boot Gnome, the menus are full of KDE stuff. It's a mix I don't like. Either I run Gnome or KDE.
Is there a way to stop the Gnome menus scanning the KDE apps and the KDE menus to stop scanning the Gnome apps?
Besides that, when I'm in Gnome and open a nautilus bookmark from the "Places" menu, Konquerer starts up happily and makes me think, "What a mess. Is this the way it's supposed to work?"
If I want to run Gnome only and KDE only, do I need to make a dual boot with two separate Arch installations?
Last edited by thunderogg (2008-08-01 08:54:02)

The menu "problem" is due to both desktops using the standard menu item location (Freedesktop.org, I believe defines this). If you want completely separate, you don't have to dual boot with two separate Arch installs, just create a new user and make a shared data location that your KDE and Gnome user can access. For example:
/home/thunderogg could be thunderogg, your Gnome user
/home/kthunderogg could be kthunderogg, your KDE user
Create a new /home/shared folder with permissions for both users and save your documents there. That's the only way that I know of to have both installed and not have a menu mess.

Gkrellm and KDE

I have recently been having problems with Gkrellm and KDE. I have gkrellm set to be dockable. However, when I move gkrellm to the right of the screen and it docks there, the KDE panel shrinks in width a little bit, and shifts to the right. Any ideas why this is happening?

When you open up Konsole (or whatever terminal program you are using) it logs you in automatically for the terminal session. So you are logged in to KDE and also Konsole. As a test, open up more Konsoles and see how many users you have.

XFCE and KDE question

Would there be any conflicts if XFCE and KDE were both installed at the same time or would it be wiser to remove KDE before installing XFCE?

You'll probably be fine. Both programs can edit desktop files which can effect the other. I'm not sure how KDE handles mime types though. If it uses the same database, that could cause one to effect the other.

XFCE and KDE Menus on same machine

I'm planning on installing both XFCE and KDE on a laptop and was wondering if there was any way to separate the KDE and XFCE programs in the menu. For example on KDE when I go to Multimedia under the K Menu I would see K3B and under a subfolder called XFCE or GTK2 or whatever I would see Brasero. I'd like to do the opposite in XFCE, with the KDE apps in a seperate subfolder. I seem to remember seeing this on another distro but can't remember what it was. Is there any way to do this automatically? Thanks.

As far as KDE goes, right click anywhere in the menu system or on the KDE button, and you can get into the menu editor. From there, you can do anything you want. Of course, when installing new programs, they are going to end up where ever the packager wants them.

Wine and xrandr

I'm trying to run some games with wine, but everyone shows the same problem when I try to run it in fullscreen.
For instance if I run Starcraft or Fallout 2, terminal says:
fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub
fixme:win:EnumDisplayDevicesW ((null),0,0x32f420,0x00000000), stub!
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x8 @0! (XRandR)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1680x1050x8 @0! (XRandR)
err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1680x1050x32 @0! (XRandR)
So I've found out that xrandr only has one mode:
Screen 0: minimum 2960 x 1050, current 2960 x 1050, maximum 2960 x 1050
default connected 2960x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm
2960x1050 50.0*
As you see, I have a dual monitor setup on nvidia card, and I configured everything with nvidia-settings.
So my question - how do I add more 'modes' to xrandr.

Since this is a problem which many have even today, im posting this GREAT solution

and mods, i hope this is not considered 'necroposting the ONLY solution', im sorry if it is.

Wine and directsound 3d

I have a problem with wine, I have enabled hardware sound with winecfg but I have errors anyway when I start games with wine, errors say that hardware acceleration is not enabled and wine will use HEL instead. I can't post the errors cause now i'm in an other computer, anyway someone could advice me? I'm playing starcraft 2 with wine and it has very low fps, with windows 7 is better.
thank you

Ok this evening i will be on my computer and i'll do my duty . I was wondering only to know if i have to something special to enable it...

Wine and resolution issue

hello!
i have used archlinux for a year or so. everything went quite perfectly, but because archlinux is not multilib (i need it for my 32-bit blitzmax application) i installed gentoo last week. and because gentoo did not get me "that feeling" of arch, i went back and reinstalled arch...completely new. now i have got problems with 32bit-wine. i am using arch64 and never had such a problem. we are discussing that in the german forums without any solutions yet so i hope you could help me. i guess nobody else has this problem (because i did not read of it) so i must be an idiot and do sth. wrong .
ok, first, this issue does not appear when running native 64bit applications, like frozen-bubble iin fullscreen. so i guess it has sth to do with the lib32 packages...dont know. when i am running windows games iin wine (bin32-wine 1.1.17 or bin32-wine-suse 1.1.18 from aur) in fullscreen, wine changes the resolution as it has to be (640x480, 800x600 or whatever), but i can still use my mouse and move it to the right or bottom edge and can so navigate through the whole screen ( so i can see the rest of my gnome desktop for example). because of that my games are unplayable. it happens to morrowind, half-life (the old one, not the source-based) & half-life 2, so it not depends on one game. i tried running wine using xrandr resolution changer (changed in wine config) but the i cannot change the resolution from my native one (1680x1050), also not perfectly, because i want to play my games in 800x600 ^^.
but remember, it did work quite well two weeks ago :-\ (i will never change my distro again, i will never change my distro again... )

Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database? If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

Is X-windows and GUI desktops supported on the ODA "engineered system" running a RAC database? If it is, what is the yum command needed to install the X-windows, Gnome, and KDE package groups?

While I agree with the direction of the suggestions with installing packages for X-windows, we do not have a blanket 'apply any package' recommendation.
In particular we do not support altering the kernel (although we do have exceptions which we review on a case by case basis).
Basically, if the you want to alter functionality that would not impact core functionality you are usually fine.
A good guideling is : The more dependencies that there are between the package / rpm you are considering using the higher the potential impact on functionality - meaning higher chance for problems
Note: We do use VNC including Real and Tiger regularly , but we have no hard recommendation on how you may want to use X-windows. I have never seen a limitation other than comments on bugs
or incompatibility within the X-window product itself with certain kernel levels.
Patching may overwrite some packages that you may install, however, _depending on packages/rpms added_ there is also the possibility that you will break existing functionality to the point
that patching itself will fail ( we have already seen a few cases of this in which case the proper mitigation is to remove / roll-back any alterations to the ODA before patching, and then adding the packages/rpms
back after the patching is completed.
From what you are discussing the impact should be low without conflicts, but please consider the above, and if you have specific packages which you consider potential problems
please create an SR so that we can review packages / rpms on an individual basis.
Once again: the main criteria for not supporting rpms is regarding the kernel itself

[SOLVED] WINE and Eve Online

First off, I am not using 64bit.
Lately, running Wine and Eve-Online is fine.
However, when I Quit from the game menu...it freezes.
I actually have to x-it-out (the wine window), and a window pops up with
"A simulated logout was in the process and is not responding".. or some such thing
and then I can terminate it and get my desktop back.
I've seen several posts about this, but no resolve.

I compiled this again two-three days ago, and am seeing good effect in EVE in particular, with an nVidia 660, both with and without bumblebee.
I use PlayOnLinux to manage my WINE prefixes. It turns out the 1.7.18-CS-0.8-f1cf438 build is a build of the HEAD of that repository. So I switched to that WINE version, and yes, the problem is solved.
I also created a CSMT-enabling registry key. To do so, launch regedit, browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D, right click and select New > String Value “CSMT”. Then, double click and set the string to “enabled”.
Thank you!
Neat!
Then the million isk question is, "Why does the CSMT build not display this issue?"
I just might have to put on my scuba gear and go diving into this some more when the schedule permits.

Weird line on the right edge of the screen with fglrx and KDE Plasma

Hey there,
I am using an AMD Radeon R9 280X with the fglrx driver for my 2-monitor setup: One 1366x768 monitor on the left side, one 1920x1080 monitor on the right side. My current DE is Plasma with KDE 5, but the bug also existed (though not as bad) with Cinnamon.
Now to the problem: On the right edge of the screen is the 2-pixel-width vertical line currently in grey, which even exist in full-screen applications.
On Cinnamon the situation is a little bit different: Here it only appears sometimes, but then it flashes frequently, though full-screen applications cover it.
Interestingly I can hover my mouse pointer over it.
Here are two screenshots: One with the whole line and one showing the above described.
I configured my screens with amdccle and/or the KDE 5 display manager. Here's the generated xorg.conf:

I use the standard configuration of effects in KDE. But the bug persists even when I turn off compositing.
There is a small difference in the bug between Cinnamon and KDE: First off the line has a smaller width in Cinnamon and full-screen applications covered it.
Also it isn't an offset per se off the whole X screen, but instead only of the KDE/Cinnamon "workspace". E.g. windows snap with the line, but behind the flickering you can still see the current window, e.g. when moved to the right.
(Sorry for not answering for so long)
EDIT: Also the flickering gets more extreme the smaller the reosultion was I changed to inbetween http://i.imgur.com/WQ4fkmf.jpg
