| Nauxer | hello, a quick question: using the "desktop" to view a folder, it's not allowing me to use the scroll to cycle through all my desktops, is this a bug? |
|---|
| teraquendya | hey, i got a quick question. i have a similar problem to bug 235155, which is closed and in need of a backtrace. I think I can provide a backtrace (recompiling right now) but i dont think I can reopen the bug, since it is not mine. Should I just add my stuff to the bug and hope someone else reopens it or should I open a new bug? Or is there a wayfor me to reopen the bug? |

| lamdk | anyone know how to enable touchpad mousetap in KDE? i cant find it in the menus =\ |
|---|
| pinotree | install the kde touchpad utility, also called synaptiks |
|---|
| Machtin | hm.. it seems dolphin is ignoring my "don't create preview for files above 5MB setting." |
|---|
| spm_Draget | there is a minor bug, but I do not have a bugzilla account to report it: when unlocking the screen via remote (like vnc or ssh wih 'qbusorg.kde.screenlocker/MainApplication qut' or killing he klocker application, the timer is not reset. i.e KDE locks the screen 1-2 seconds later again, eventho one is working over vnc. Plus KDE oes not lock the screen if the mini-volume slider of kmix is open. KDE 4.4.4 |
|---|
| thiago_home | the first problem sounds like vnc isn't resetting the X idle timer |
|---|
| thiago_home | not a KDE issue |
|---|
| thiago_home | the second problem sounds like X mouse-grabbing |
|---|
| thiago_home | it should happen whenever any popups are open (this includes menus) |
|---|
| spm_Draget | True about the menus. But back in KDE3 times I remember that I could kill klocker and this would unlock kde. Maybe I remember wrong. |
|---|
| thiago_home | what happens if you kill the locker now? |
|---|
| leontopod | hey, I have my taskbar on autohide |
|---|
| leontopod | but it pops up for a fraction of a second every once in a while even if I don't put the mouse over it |
|---|
| leontopod | hey, I have my taskbar on autohide |
|---|
| leontopod | what's up with that? |
|---|
| leontopod | oops |
|---|
| leontopod | hello? |

| leontopod | wow quiet here |

| Kano | hi, are kdm 4 themes the same as kdm 3 themes |

| svuorela | Kano: no |

| SpeedEvil | hello! Anyone know if it's possible to use compositing in any way to show a small window on the desktop as normal? I'd like to have a 1/4 size FF window - for example - to show a flash stream. |
|---|
| sequemis | can anyone tell me why the pager in kde since 4.0 is completely useless? |
|---|
| sequemis | it just doesn't hit my tiocker. |
|---|
| Sho_ | sequemis: in what way is it useless? |
|---|
| sequemis | it's useless as compared with 3.5 in the sense that i can't quite find the strength to use it at all in most idle circumstances. |
|---|
| sequemis | it's like plasma spurred a hip-hop movement when they released 4.0. no rhyme. |
|---|
| sequemis | all the sudden there's no rap to coincide with a hippy movement over free love / marriage or something along those lines. |
|---|
| sequemis | if i was criminally negligent, i could not find a way for pager usage to also be criminally negligent on someone's time at the same time telling myself i'm actually capable of using pager plasmoid. "ok self..." "umm..." |
|---|
| cleary_ | it's like, you're all rhyme, and no reason |
|---|
| Jucato | you still haven't given a concrete reason |
|---|
| sequemis | ok self... |
|---|
| Jucato | 4.0 is also outdated and admittedly rough around the edges. you should be using the latest stable release |
|---|
| sequemis | all things considered, plasma is probably patentable by the same case, criminal negligence. IANAL. |
|---|
| sequemis | 4.4.4. |
|---|
| sequemis | anyway, i just set the pager applet up on a top panel with no impetus to use it. I guess I'm just a loner. |
|---|
| Jucato | you are not making any sense |
|---|
| sequemis | mmmm. |
|---|
| sequemis | if it's criminally negligent for the military to pick up the phone on someone who hasn't completely finished dialling yet, how can i blame someone else for having to have 4 screens open? cool-factor is nil for a feature pretty much standard as a differential feature between windows and unix variants. |
|---|
| sequemis | as in, there was a call recipient, not just a caller. |
|---|
| sequemis | aaron's paycheck can probably make me dial the phone ;) |
|---|
| sequemis | personally: i can probably profit in business by just picking up the phone, {not actually by waiting for anyone to dial the phone} -scratch-. At all. |
|---|
| sequemis | nvm, i should would in a call centre or some phishing scam centre or 419 or something. |
|---|
| sequemis | *work. |
|---|
| Sho_ | sequemis: props for creativity, really |
|---|
|
|
| sequemis | krunner is still plasma by development, isn't it? |
|---|
| sequemis | a switcher beside the close button or the system activity button might be a long shot at how else to, and then i might be able to use plasma to switch desktops :) |

| xguru | http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2010-March/213243.html |
|---|
| xguru | i'm getting that same error. |
|---|
| xguru | i have found where it is possible to "make --skip-validation" but make says illegal option |
|---|
| sequemis | proposition for krunner: kpager functionality after tab key from text input box, with kpager widget located after close box. it probably breaks hig, though i'm looking at svn to see if i can do anything at all. |
|---|
| xguru | any ideas....am i in the right place even :) |
|---|
| xguru | oh freebsd 8 and upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4.4 |
|---|
| xguru | http://www.pastie.org/1018197 <--- line 20 suggest a work around, but when the command is issued it says "make: illegal option -- -" Sorry i thought i would set the question up better and give better info |

| crocket | hi |
|---|
| crocket | The top panel is always clicked even if other programs are in fullscreen mode. |

| crocket | The top panel is not visible but is clicked. |
|---|

|---|
| crocket | Nobody? |
|---|
| leontopod | is this a stupid question: why doesn't kde have a "show desktop" button or menu option? |
|---|
| siddvicious | you mean on the panel ? :) |
|---|
| leontopod | yes |
|---|
| leontopod | oh just googled it |
|---|
| leontopod | apparently there is a widget that will do it |
|---|
| thiago_home | leontopod: so KDE has it :-) |
|---|
| leontopod | ok |
|---|
| leontopod | so I have the show desktop |
|---|
| leontopod | widget on the desktop |
|---|
| leontopod | how do I get it on the taskbar? |
|---|
| thiago_home | drag it there |
|---|
| leontopod | ok, /me tries |
|---|
| leontopod | it won't let me =( |
|---|
| leontopod | it just drags it BEHIND the taskbar |
|---|
| thiago_home | put the panel in edit mode first |
|---|
| thiago_home | it's probably easier to drag it from the "add widget" dialog/pane |
|---|
| leontopod | oh did that |
|---|
| leontopod | it worked |
|---|
| siddvicious | if you want to add on panel at bottom then right click to add wigets and add it :) |
|---|
| leontopod | but it put the widget icon over on the extreme right of the taskbar |
|---|
| leontopod | but it works |
|---|
| leontopod | that's what counts |
|---|
| leontopod | widgets are pretty bad ass |
|---|
| leontopod | =) |
|---|
| thiago_home | well, move it :-) |
|---|
| thiago_home | again, in edit mode |
|---|
| leontopod | thanks |

|---|
| Sylvain3665 | I have a computer with ubuntu server 10.04, i installed X server and then, i installed kdm |
|---|
| Sylvain3665 | but i don't want x and kdm to start when the system boots, i want to stay in console mode |
|---|
| pinotree | Sylvain3665: ’ #ubuntu |

| gabriel9 | anyone use bespin? |
|---|
| TheOV | what is the best kde4 distro? |
|---|
| sopho | this is a powerful question |
|---|
| kdepepo | best? I'd say newest. Updating to Mesa 7.8.1 did wonders to my KWin speed. |
|---|
| Zaister | can anyone help? it seem I no longer have access to my cd drive from KDE apps, neither audio cds nor data cds will work |
|---|
| gabriel9 | sopho: Arch is powerful if you make it like that |
|---|
| sopho | i am not into that too much, yet "best" is imho a category that has many dimensions, that was my point here :) |

| pfee | Hi, I get a row of transparent pixels between the window title bar and the rest of the application window (KDE 4.4.4, F13), anyone else see this? Perhaps a kwin or oxygen issue. |
|---|
| rdieter | pfee: I don't see that, mind posting a screenshot? |
|---|
| pfee | http://imagepaste.nullnetwork.net/viewimage.php?id=1080 |
|---|
| pfee | Image shows "System settings" window, with konsole behind showing through. |
|---|
| d3x | pfee, nice effect ;] |
|---|
| pfee | d3x: But I'm losing a few all important virtual pixels! |
|---|
| pfee | d3x: vertical |
|---|
| pfee | I have "focus follows mouse". If I move a window, it looks fine. Then when I move focus to another window, the previous window gets the transparent strip. |
|---|
| pfee | And, strangely, Konqueror and Konversation windows suffer the problem. Konsole appears to be ok. Strange that not all windows have the same treatment. btw, Intel graphics card. |
|---|
| pfee | If it's not already a known issue, I'll post to bugs.kde.org. |
|---|
| haldir | if I use kde system settings to alter my display settings, how do I save that to the next session. right now I have to do this each time. |

| pfee | rdieter d3x : Bug raised: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242794 |

| menak | hi |

| menak | i just installed kde 4.4.4 after using 4.3.5. one question: what happened to the image gallery plasmoid |
|---|
| pingveno | Is there a way to block people in Kopete? |
|---|
| szal | depends on the protocol, that's a function of the respective messenger protocol, not of the client |
|---|
| pingveno | Ah |
|---|
| pingveno | Any particular reason? |

| sorind | i saw on the release schedule that RC1 should have been released a few days ago, has it been pushed back? |

|---|
| Klanticus | may someone on trunk test if bug 242785 is reproducible? |
|---|
| pinotree | Kame2: until it's announced, it can change anytime |
|---|
| Kame2 | pinotree: why is it on a public ftp then? |

| Nobu | Hi, is there a way to disable autoscroll (shift+‘, etc.) in Kontact (mail), or globally? When I'm reading, I usually scroll with the mouse, which switches focus to the message. So when I try to select multiple messages, it triggers autoscroll. |
|---|
| KenBW2 | is there a command-line way to set a load of settings in a script? kinda like the gconftool command? |
|---|
| Nobu | There should be a list of all (KDE global) settings, where to find them, and a link to their description, somewhere in KDE Help Center. o.o |
|---|
| tzanger | has anyone else got issues with kopete and gtalk today? |
|---|
| KenBW2 | tzanger: works fine here Kubuntu 9.10 kopete 1.0 |
|---|
| tzanger | hmm okay, I'm on 10.04 |
|---|
| tzanger | worked great yesterday, not so much today |
|---|
| KenBW2 | tzanger: sorry, im on 10.04 too |
|---|
| tzanger | KenBW2: hmm, okay, thank you, now I know it's me at least :-) |
|---|
| KenBW2 | Nobu: i can't see anything in help center resembling anything gconf-like |
|---|
| Nobu | KenBW2: No, I was saying it should have that, not that it did. Sorry for the confusion. |
|---|
| KenBW2 | Nobu: maybe theres another way of addressing the problem |
|---|
| KenBW2 | Nobu: basically I want to make a script to set up a fresh install with my preferred settings. In Gnome i used gconftool, but I don't know of any alternative in KDE |
|---|
| Kame2 | Nobu: i don't know what gconftool does, but is kreadconfig and kwriteconfig what you are looking for? |
|---|
| Nobu | Kame2: I think that's what KenBW2 was looking for, but it might work for me too. Let me check. |
|---|
| KenBW2 | Kame2: does it let me set settings through the command line? |
|---|
| Kame2 | KenBW2: yes |
|---|
| KenBW2 | Kame2: sounds promising |
|---|
| Nobu | Doesn't help me much, since I don't know what setting I'm looking for. |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | same here |
|---|
| Nobu | KenBW2-laptop: I think all settings are stored in ~/.kde/share/config or somesuch. So if all you want is to restore your (KDE) settings, can't you just copy that folder? Some other apps may have configs other folders, though. |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | Nobu: ive tried the copy-all-my-.<app>-folders approach before, it's caused me problems |
|---|
| Kame2 | KenBW2-laptop: what exactly do you want to do? |
|---|
| Nobu | I've found what I wanted, I think: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181798#c4 |
|---|
| Nobu | Kame2: He wants a way to backup & (after a fresh install) restore his KDE settings. |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | Nobu: not necessarily backup, just set a load of settings in a bunch of commands |
|---|
| Nobu | I assume after obtaining the list of settings, he'd want to be able to use them in a command to write them back later, correct? |
|---|
| ivan|away | visit http://community.kde.org/Events/Akademy/2010/Attendees and add yourself to the list (if you're attending ofc) |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | Nobu: exactly |
|---|
| Kame2 | KenBW2-laptop: so you cold use kwriteconfig but you don't know the exact options and files? |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | Kame2: you got it |
|---|
| Kame2 | ok |
|---|
| Kame2 | and there are to many options so it's just not possible to look at the possible config-files and find out what the options are? |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | Kame2: is that all there is to it? |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | Kame2: navigating the .kde folder? |
|---|
| Kame2 | as long as the corresponding setting was set before. If you never changed a setting there will be no config-entry as is just uses the default |
|---|
| KenBW2-laptop | Kame2: that's possibly a good thing |
|---|
| Kame2 | but theoretically you should find most interessting options by looking in ~/.kde/share/config and /usr/lib/share/config (possible some variation in path depending on ditribution) |
|---|
| Nobu | Nope, looks like AutoScrolling isn't the setting I'm looking for... |
|---|
| Kame2 | Nobu: your problem is that to scroll, the message-area has to be active (to get mouse and keyboard events) so i think it's not possible to get a 'shift - up' to the message-list area |
|---|
| Nobu | Kame2: I was afraid of that, but thought I'd try anyway. Thanks! |
