Xorg 7 and KDE

I followed this topic suggestions but I've got a problem running KDE.
I configured KDM to autostart in init 5 mode and when I log into the system through it Arch doesn't login and takes me to KDM login again.
If I log via console mode and I start xorg via "startx" I've got a "blank" running system after the "Arch KDE" run screen.
What's the problem?

That's irrelevant, there may still be a problem that's visible from the console.
Also, check your ~/.xsession-errors file also. That might have some relevent error messages in there.

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:

Yes, this only happens on the big screen

ewaller wrote:What does the display report as its current resolution in the on screen menu?
It reports 1920x1080 as it's current resolution
As a test I changed the resolution to 1400x1050 in the KDE menu, but the monitor reports it as 1680x1050. Though the bug still persists.
ewaller wrote:What effects to you use in KDE? Although this is mitigated by your having had the problem with Cinnamon
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

Sever issue with Xorg and Nvidia Drivers

I run a 2.6.20 kernel with Xorg and Nvidia drivers all from arch rep on a Asus NV6200. Everything works fine, except one thing. When I exit X, the monitor shuts down imediatly. It wont start up at all, not even by manual startup. I cant understand what happens. The configuration is correct, is done with the correct settings for my video-card and monitor taken directly from the documentation. I cant use my X server at all since several days ... I checked the logs and there are no EE's. Anyway ... here is the log. Help anyone can help, I cant use X at all.

No ... the problem is in the kernel that comes precompiled.
I did this test.
The first time I installed the kernel I unloaded nvidiafb since I dont like it.
When I install nvidiafb back something strange happends. Nvidia module fails to load.
The modprobe sais it cannot find the device nvidia.ko ... but it is there!
So my best guess is, there is something with the kernel. Any ideas?
Problem resolved, installed older driver

[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 ?

I did

and put everything you want in Autostart

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.

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?

Very cool idea! Google found me this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php? … b&t=634067
This is way simpler than I thought it'd be. Thanks.

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.

Problem with regular crash with Xorg and nvidia

Hello!
I am using a archlinux distribution for about 5 years. There was sometime problems but now it is very unstable. Every reboot I have a crash of Xorgs and with this a crash of system. Log:

About 1 month ago it looks like restart of Xorgs when I press enter key. Alway ENTER key. After some updates/nvidia driver combinations - doesn't change anything. Now after fresh reinstall (well crashes destroys my ext3 filesystem an I need to reinstal the root file system) there are crashes, but now, every freeze I have to restart system. Now I am switchingo into ubuntu, I will try to check sometimes if something changed.
Cashes repeats every reboot from... maby 3-4 months. Now I can say my system is not stable, I use this in work - so this situation is really bad.

[SOLVED] Blinking screen - new Xorg and Intel issue

Screen is blinking after opening laptop lid no matter what i did (nothing, lock screen, hibernate, standby). It blinks every 10-20 seconds for about 1-2 seconds, and cpu% used by X's raises from 0.3-1.0 to even 10% and system slows down a little in that moment. My Xorg logs:

Blinking stops when i restart computer.
I have newest xorg and intel drivers (xorg-server 1.7.1.901-2 & xf86-video-intel 2.9.1-1). I tried also downgrade this (and related) packages to older versions (even xorg-server 1.5.* & xf86-video-intel 2.4.*) and the same happens... with only one difference. On that oldest packages I've tried screen doesn't blinks, but the wallpaper of the desktop is changing: my -> default -> my -> default... with the same frequency . I was googling a lot, believe me. I study IT on a University and I asked my friends from there, and they just run out of ideas. In addition i can write that it isn't my laptop fault because windows xp works fine and ubuntu 9.04 (i had before archlinux) also worked good. It has started on ubuntu 9.10, so I thought I move to archlinux, and its still here? I suppose its a problem with intel drivers or xorg, but somehow linked with power management of the monitor(?). But why then older packages don't work? Please, I will be grateful for any help.

SOLVED!!! Must enable KMS => switch off vga option in grub, and replace it with "i915.moduleset=1"

Xorg and refresh rates

I'm running Solaris Express 10 x86 4/05 on a Dell Optiplex GX260. Xorg refuses to give me a refresh rate higher than 60Hz. This is using the i810 driver but it also happens with the VESA driver. Here's my xorg.conf:
Section "Module"

# initialisation of the XFree86-DGA extension within that module.

Thanks.

I upped the log verbosity on Xorg and checked the Xorg.0.log file. I found some interesting things.
First, I found this line:
(II) I810(0): Will use BIOS call 0x5f05 to set refresh rates for CRTs.
Later on, I found these:
(WW) I810(0): Extended BIOS function 0x5f05 not supported.
(II) I810(0): BIOS call 0x5f05 not supported, setting refresh with VBE 3 method.
(WW) I810(0): Set VBE Mode rejected this modeline.
Trying standard mode instead!
Presumably, "standard mode" is an eye-watering 60Hz.
This is on a Dell Optiplex GX260 with BIOS revision A09. The video chipset is an onboard Intel 82845 and the driver is Xorg's i810.
Everything works fine with Sun's X server. I get a nice 87Hz refresh at 1024x768. I'm surprised that Xorg can't set the refresh on this machine. It's listed as Test Suite Level 2 certified in the HCL. Unless somebody can tell me what I'm doing wrong here, I'm going to post this incompatibility as a comment on the HCL.

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

Latest versions of firefox and kde

Can someone recommend to me the best way of putting firefox 1.06 and kde 3.4.2 on my arch machine? I see that they have been in testing for a very long time. Does that mean they they're not safe to install? I've heard that firefox 1.06 fixes some security vulnerabilities and I was thinking I should try to use it.

Thanks for your replies. I installed firefox 1.06 from testing, but it would not execute. Error message was:

You're going to need pango from testing as well... and maybe some other things... you should probably check the firefox deps and install all of them that are in testing...

I don't want all those GNOME and KDE libs on my system!

Kde Libraries/Base/Bindings - 80 megs
Full KDE - 200 megs
Full GNOME - 80 megs
Base Gnome - 55 megs
I hear so many people saying "Ew, it's using gnome-libs I don't wanna install that" I have said this many times. It's seemed like a lot of usage on my hard drive with all those packages... In reality, 50 megs for GNOME libs or 80 megs for KDE isn't a lot at all.. Heck, UT2004 is around 90 times bigger than installing base KDE and GNOME libs. Thanks to modern technology, most PCs have 80 - 120 gigs on them.. Even with this 30 gig hard drive, 150 megs does not even put a dent. Unless your using a floppy for your hard drive, it won't hurt to install gnome and kde libaries. You need a gig and a half for just winblows stuff! Just because it says:

It seems like a lot of depedencies, being on four lines and all... But it's really not that much. I won't hurt to have it on your PC.

I'm impressed!
I havn't tried kde since 3.2.0 and it was totally unusuable due to bugs, crashes, bloat and so forth,
