kwebkitpart default or optional for F15+?
by alekcejk＠googlemail.com 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hi, kwebkitpart will be not installed as kdebase and kdenetwork dependency sinse KDE 4.6. So we should decide to add kwebkitpart to comps as default or optional. This is was discussed on KDE-SIG meeting http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-11-23/kde-sig.2010-11-… 3 votes for default and 2 votes for optional, need more discussion. In KDE < 4.6 kwebkitpart was installed by default as dependency of kdebase, kdenetwork and konq-plugins. Users had possibility to select between KHTML and WebKit view modes in Konqueror. Some sites works better with WebKit. So if we decide to not install kwebkitpart as default then some users may lose needed WebKit functionality if they reinstall F15 system.

Building KDevelop3 RPM on Fedora 14
by Sonic 25 Nov '10

25 Nov '10

Hello I'm trying to build KDevelop 3.x RPM for Fedora. I wish to call it kdevelop3 and be able to have it along with kdevelop (KDevelop4) that comes bundled with Fedora. Does this 'wish' have serious flaws to require considerable effort to implement? I've made the following changes to the SPEC file: 1. changed 'Name' in the SPEC file to "kdevelop3" 2. added --program-suffix=3 to configure Are the above changes sufficient or should I also add --prefix=SOME_PATH to configure script? Also, how do I meddle with the .desktop entries in the launcher menus to call this KDevelop3 (like "Qt assistant" and "Qt4 Assistant")? Any help is highly appreciated.. Syam

kde-4.5.80 incoming to rawhide
by Rex Dieter 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

fyi, I'm importing kde-4.5.80 (4.6beta1) in rawhide now, using dist-f15-kde target (so we don't break rawhide in the interim). Got a few initial deps updated first (attica, polkit-qt, soprano), and oxygen-icons done. kdelibs to follow soon. -- Rex

Strigi crashes
by Sonic 24 Nov '10

24 Nov '10

Hello I started using Nepomuk/Strigi recently and enabled indexing. I observed that after a while, the indexing icon (in the systray) is vanishing. When I check in System Settings, it shows that Strigi is disabled. If I enable it again, it runs for a couple of seconds (the icon in the systray appears) and again vanishes. Instead of enabling it in System Settings, I started strigi from terminal by doing: nepomukservicestub nepomukstrigiservice The same observations repeated. But when strigi crashed, I got the following in the terminal: ============================== 'le1 le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string ' Edit le1' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1 le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string ' Add le1 to' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1 le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1 le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'git di' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'git di HEAD' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'git di --cached' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1 le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le1' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'le2' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'Di' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'di between' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string 'di between' is not a UTF8 or latin1 string Analyzer AuThroughAnalyzer has left the stream in a bad state.

Is it that a problematic file is causing strigi to crash? If that's the case, how do I find the culprit file? I run Fedora 14 that was updated this morning ('yum update' from regular stable repos). regards, Syam

useless kmail
by Dave Stevens 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

I just upgraded my box from F13 to F14. Using my usual gnome desktop I started kmail. For the last half hour I've been staring at a completely 100% useless screen. choked.ca/borkedkmail.png suggestions?

Nepomuk keeps dying on me
by John Aldrich 19 Nov '10

19 Nov '10

I've started having problems with KMail recently -- every time I close it, it appears Nepomuk shuts down and I have to manually open up Systemsettings and start it. Using KDE 4.5.3 on Fedora 13 and KMail 1.13.5. Any suggestions on how to fix it? I'm NOT running strigi as I have problems keeping my system cool.

thunderbird not restored on login
by Roderick Johnstone 18 Nov '10

18 Nov '10

Hi On F14 x86_64 I'm finding thunderbird is not started automatically by the session restore when I log in. konsole and firefox are restored ok. .xsession-errors contains: Could not find 'thunderbird-bin' executable. ~/.kde/share/config/session/kwin_101bd16f1f3168000128940694700000064350000_1290075193_924529 contains: wmCommand6=thunderbird-bin thunderbird-bin is in /usr/lib64/thunderbird-3.1/ which isn't on the PATH. Thunderbird is started as thunderbird which is in /usr/bin. Could someone give me an indication where the right place to BZ this is. Its not clear to me which component is has the bug. Maybe I just shouldnt expect thunderbird to be restored in a kde session (although firefox is). I seem to remember raising this years ago, but can't remember where. Thanks for any thoughts on this. Roderick
