Rkward needs to be updated
by Stefan Grosse 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi, There is a new R version in updates-testing: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/rpy-2.1.7-1.fc14,R-2.12.0-1.fc14 Rkward refused to work with R after the update and returns "Warnmeldung: In library() : Library ‘/usr/share/R/library’ enthält keine Pakete M <- 10000 Fehler: unprotect(): nur 1 geschützte Elemente" It is not R itself because emacs and console work as expected. There is a new Rkward version upstream that hopefully deals with this problem. Do you need me to open a bugreport or is it OK just to drop this mail? Regards Stefan

[PATCH] Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop rebranding
by Jaroslav Reznik 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi, I prepared patch rebranding KDE to KDE Plasma and fixing "K Desktop Environment" pre-historic relic. But I'm not sure how to deal with referencing KDE in spins list - use KDE Plasma? And how to reference it from code + directory etc., hostname etc. See ticket #27. I'm not familiar (yet) with websites infrastructure but I'd like to take maintainership of KDE/Plasma related web pages (and not to break something :). Thanks for help, Jaroslav -- Jaroslav Řezník <jreznik(a)redhat.com> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno Office: +420 532 294 275 Mobile: +420 602 797 774 Red Hat, Inc. http://cz.redhat.com/

Preupgrade F13 x86_64 -> F14 x86_64 KDE Fails
by George Galt 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

All: I have just tried moving to Fedora 14 x86_64 using preupgrade. Upon launch of the new system, KDE is virtually non-responsive (I can get some response initially, but it quickly fades). Mouse pointer moves, but clicks do not seem to do anything. If I relaunch in KDE safemode, all seems well. Where should I start looking? Xorg.0.log shows no errors. Messages carries the following (which I don't think is relevant): Nov 4 11:33:33 george NetworkManager[1127]: <error> [1288884813.510342] [nm-manager.c:1331] user_proxy_init(): could not init user settings proxy: (3) Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings': no such name The only other anomaly was that the lower right-hand portion of the screen showed a flickering white bar just to the left of the plasma bar. In addition, when I used alt-tab to switch between apps (during a brief period of responsiveness), one of the applications displayed was "plasma-desktop", which I had never seen before. I do use the proprietary nvidia graphics driver from ATRPMs, not the nouveau driver (though, again Xorg says this was loaded just fine). Any help or thoughts of where to look would be helpful.

Thoughts on merging KDE into Qt and Is "Linux" slowing down ?
by linux guy 08 Nov '10

08 Nov '10

I know that developers have nothing better to do (wink) so I thought I would mention that I'd love to hear (see) a discussion of what the Fedora people think of KDE being merged into Qt. And, on another slant, is it me or is the pace of "Linux" development slowing down now that KDE4.x is becoming somewhat mature ? Where do things go from here ? Thanks !

Fedora KDE Live Media installer still not available in non-english language
by Christian González 05 Nov '10

05 Nov '10

One year ago I've reported bug #541055 "Anaconda "Select language" screen is not available from F12 KDE LiveMedia". After two mayor releases, this bug is still present and non-english-speaking users are forced to use "liveinst --lang=xx" to get a translated Anaconda. It seems than Anaconda developers don't want to make changes juts for us. I'm quoting: "anaconda's not going to start growing warts for dealing with specific livecd quirks". So if this is going to be fixed, the fix should came from KDE SIG. Kevin suggested this: "to wrap liveinst with a kdialog --menu based script". Can we consideer this option in time for Fedora 15? As a non-english user it's hard to promote Fedora KDE Live Media between my friends and coworkers without a proper Spanish installator (even if Anaconda *is* already translated). -- Christian González G. http://chgonzalez.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/chgonzalez

Default KDE Kicker Icon Missing from Oxygen Theme
by Gerald B. Cox 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

I had this problem a few years ago and reported in bug 442194. The workaround described in that bug isn't working. After upgrade to Fedora 14, it appears the Fedora Infinity icon is default now for both the standard Oxygen theme. Has anyone else noticed this, should I open a bug or am I missing something? Thanks!

f13/kde45 related updates, need feedback/karma
by Rex Dieter 04 Nov '10

04 Nov '10

There's a handful of prereq updates in need of feedback/karma, prior to f13/kde45 update going stable, * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F13/FEDORA-2010-16677 (despite bug 615621 not being 100% fixed, fixing 642763 is more important, imo) * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/avogadro-1.0.1-6.fc13 And, lastly, the kde45 update itself, * https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F13/FEDORA-2010-16681 (though please test the first 2 prior to commenting/karma'ing this last one, thanks). -- Rex
