WANTED: Fedora KDE QA Testers
by Paul Scott 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

I'm willing to have a crack at qa testing, please add me to the list. I'll start off with Fedora 11 and rawhide right now. I assume running test systems virtually under VirtualBox is acceptable? Cheers, Paul. -- Paul Scott paulsscott at gmail.com

Kpackagekit notification
by Colin J Thomson 30 Jul '09

30 Jul '09

Hi, I just found out I have a stack of updates waiting but it seems the notification icon is not working. I normally use Smart for the KDE updates and Packagekit for the rest of the system. Can anyone confirm this before I dig deeper, I have tried everything to get it to work with no luck so far. I'm not sure if this would be a KDE RC issue or not and as to when this problem appeared I'm not sure. Cheers Colin -- Fedora (F11 Leonidas) Registered Linux user number #342953

Launch(5)?
by Richard Heck 29 Jul '09

29 Jul '09

Does anyone know what the default "Launch(5)" shortcut for increasing brightness is supposed to be? Does anyone know if there's been any work on getting KDE to recognize key combinations like Fn+F5? Richard

[1] o security fixes: * KevinKofler has committed the security fixes into CVS. * The fix for CVE-2009-1725 (improper handling of numeric character references) seems incomplete and has to be updated again. * ThanNgo will contact KDE Security Team because of the few security announcements in the past. o test day ideas: * phonon-backend-gstreamer (#513421, already ON_DEV by ThanNgo) [2] * kpackagekit: installing unsigned packages o Open discussion: * WilliamStephenson gave a brief update on kde-networkmanagement development: - The design of NetworkManager leaves many things up to the clients. Much of these weren't implemented in the current version. - A redesign is now mostly implemented. - Now 90% of the clients work is done by some libraries. - Also the plasmoid is being rewritten to reflect these changes. - A monolithic standalone systray applet (which was written to test these changes) is almost in a shippable state. - The plasmoid itself isn't yet (some outstanding items: VPNC support, WPA- EAP, cellular support) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Next Meeting = http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Meetings/2009-08-04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- = Links = [1] http://www.osnews.com/story/21899/KDE_4_3_Shaping_Up_Nicely_KWin_Needs_Work [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513421

I can't get gpg to start on the new F11 install. The url I had for startup and shutdown scripts is now invalid - it was on fedorahosted.org. Where would they be now, please? Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

A first task for Rawhide KDE testers
by Kevin Kofler 28 Jul '09

28 Jul '09

Hi, for all those who're signing up to test KDE, here's a first task for you: go through the Phonon-GStreamer test cases at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Phonon-GStreamer_Test_Plan and report your results. I'll see if we can get a KDE live image from Rawhide built so you have a faster way to get a default installation. Note that upgraded installations are probably NOT default installations, you may be left with: * phonon-backend-xine installed instead of phonon-backend-gstreamer (easily remedied with yum install phonon-backend-gstreamer; rpm -e phonon-backend- xine) and * stale Phonon settings messing up things – those are harder to get rid of, unfortunately. Still, test results from upgraded installations are also worthwhile. Kevin Kofler

27 Jul '09

I seem to have lost my bookmarks. It used to be just a matter of copying bookmarks.html from old-gobbledegook.default to new-gobbledegook.default. That doesn't seem to work now. Does anyhone know how it's done now? Thanks Anne -- New to KDE4? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org Just found a cool new feature? Add it to UserBase

TESTING: KDE4 KRename testing request
by Ben Boeckel 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, Any testers want to test the under-development KDE4 version of KRename? A cursory glance seems to indicate it is mostly feature complete. It is only missing some menus (which only reiterated some things, so nothing *crucial*) and undo script creation support (which I consider show stopper for stable at least). I'll have an RPMs up on cledwyn in the repo for F10/F11/devel for i586 and x86_64 by tomorrow if all goes well (I'll post here when it is done with the .repo file). Thanks in advance. - --Ben P.S. - I'm assuming a "TESTING" tag on mails for the testing team. Any other ideas? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkprQFcACgkQiPi+MRHG3qRqeQCgm6HCOLsT5ZCb+5Bhpik6fAIB nJkAoJ3RGICBkS+LP0lARaSrh0LYtVtV =e1hi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Lost login manager
by Anne Wilson 26 Jul '09

26 Jul '09

In a new F11 install I accidentally installed Gnome alone. I've added KDE now, but can't remember exactly what I need to do to get the KDE login manager. I thought it was in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, but I think I need two lines in there and I can only remember "DISPLAYMANAGER=kdm". Is that right, and what is the second line (which I assume is the login manager line)? Thanks Anne
