Non-working global shortcut

My laptop has been away for repair.  When it came back there was no
paperwork - I've no idea what was done to it, but there are a couple of
very strange things.  Of course, the first thing I did when it came back
was update, so it's possible that something there is involved.

1) Not important, but strange - the panel clock was 1 hour wrong.
2) My defined shortcut to launch kpat, my chosen lunchtime relaxation,
no longer works.  I deleted it and redefined it, but no joy.

The clock business is just a curiosity.  Short of messing with the bios
setting I can't think why that would be.  I'd really like to get the
shortcut working again.  What could interfere with that?

Good experience with calligra

Hi all,
    probably this is the wrong place for this comment but since I am
overloaded with work it should be better here than nowhere. 

    I am quite pleased with calligra import of docx documents, sometimes
my students send me docx documents with math formulas (or related) and I
have been able to read them with calligra suite but not with libreoffice.

Note that this is only for reading and not writing or editing or whatever.

I should also say that I have written tips to explain them that pdf is a
better format for file transfer FWIW.

Regards,

Worth a bugzilla?

Looking for an opinion.....

I've verified a bug on 2 fully updated F16 systems.  It involves KDE, ibus, and
LibreOffice but I suspect it is a KDE problem since it works in GNOME.

The problem no longer exists in F17.  So, the question, is it worthwhile to submit a
bugzilla against F16 when you know the issue doesn't exist in F17?

Amarok 2.5.0 has a bad memory leak

Just an FYI in case like me you leave amarok running at times... don't....

Amarok memory leak when changing tracks
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298627

Easily reproducible - just load up a playlist and
select the repeat playlist option.

The only plugins I am using are mass
storage device and lastfm.

I ran the following command to document the leak:
top -b -d 150 -p 11866 > amarok.txt

I then imported the results into a google spreadsheet you can view here:
http://goo.gl/Q4bZw

Memory utilization started out at 7.4% and ended up at 31.9% after approx 48
hours.  The leak is steady and unrelenting.  I ran the same playlist under QMMP
during the same period and memory utilization was steady at 2.5% throughout the
period.

kdewebdev forever QT3

hi

does anybody now if kdewebdev will be ported to KDE4/QT4

the for me only important app is "/usr/bin/kfilereplace"
and the dependencies are really large for one small tool
besides the additional work upstream to maintain the
more or less dead QT3

Can't - sometimes - leave kde

Hi,

This is a really weird issue. Sometimes when I want to reboot, shutdown or log 
out ('f' -> Leave -> Log out / Restart / Shut Down) nothing happens (the count 
down messagebox doesn't appear) . Lock, Sleep and Hibernate are okay. There 
are no error messages in .xsession-errors, /var/log/messages 
/var/log/Xorg.0.log, /var/log/kdm.log and/or /var/log/secure.

When log out etc. fails authentication more generally seems to fail. e.g. I 
tried to change the shutdown command (System Settings -> Login Screen -> 
Shutdown). After pressing the Apply button, a messagebox appeared telling that 
authentication failed. In /var/log/secure the following messages appeared:

May 14 23:17:12 ps-1866 polkitd(authority=local): Registered Authentication 
Agent for unix-session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 (system bus name 
:1.55 [/usr/libexec/kde4/polkit-kde-authentication-agent-1], object path 
/org/kde/PolicyKit1/AuthenticationAgent, locale en_US.UTF-8)
May 14 23:18:14 ps-1866 polkitd(authority=local): Operator of unix-
session:/org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session1 FAILED to authenticate to gain 
authorization for action org.kde.kcontrol.kcmkdm.save for unix-
process:2171:397117 [/usr/bin/systemsettings -caption System Settings --icon 
preferences-system] (owned by unix-user:martin)

The above issue happens both in up to date Fedora 16 and 17.

Have anyone else seen this? Any ideas how I can get more information on this 
issue?

Thanks,

Not possible to execute/authenticate action: 6

Hi,

I open systemsetting to change timezone to (GMT-3), and after clicking
"apply",  I get the error on KDE control module, "Not possible to
execute/authenticate the accion: 6", and timezone is updated.   After
the restart of the system, my timezone setting is wrong again, and get
to the previous(GMT).

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Inline rename gone in 4.8//Dolphin 2.0 (and konqueror)

This bug report explains why inline renaming is no longer possible in 
Dolphin (and konqueror too it seems):

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=286893

They claim it will be back in the 4.9 KDE and/or Dolphin 2.1. Will F16 
eventually upgrade to these or will it require >=F17?

Opinion: Dropping features and confusing users in mid-stream and then 
promising to bring them back is not good practice.

xpra compatibility problems

I was trying out xpra, but it seems to have been bitten by a kde bug.  The bug 
is mentioned at the bottom of this page:

http://xpra.org/faq.html#platforms

It seems kde needs a patch for this to work.  Any chance of seeing this in 
fedora kde?

kde-4.8.3 in kde-testing

Got kde-4.8.3 f16/f17 builds in kde-testing, and queue'd for 
updates-testing as well.

For f17, there's a chance we can ship with that (instead of 4.8.2), 
assuming we can some good feedback. (else, it'll just be available as an 
update afterward).

Test test test, and enjoy.
