Random questions about KDE4.2
Hello list, Since KDE 4 hit unstable, some questions have popped up: 1) Web Shortcuts: How do I enable Web shortcuts (i.e. "wp:" for wikipedia, "gg:" for google, etc.) in the Alt-F2 dialog? Somehow, even though I have checked the corresponding box in the dialogue-settings, KRunner just sits there and does nothing. I know, this has been mentioned before on this list. Debian bug #529861 corresponds to this and is already closed, but I still experience this behaviour. Can anyone else confirm this? 2) Kmail: KMail doesn't allow "View Source" on some messages, but not all. Some investigation leads me to believe this may be this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190938 Should I refile this bug in the debian-bts? 3) Kmail/Kwallet: Just a minor annoyance, when I send a mail via kmail, the kwallet-dialog pops up behind the grayed-out message window. Against which package should I file the bug? 4) Screensaver/screen lock: For some reason, the screen lock doesn't activate the screensaver. I.e. when my screen is locked (either via Ctrl-Alt-L or via time-delay in the screensaver itself), once I touch the mouse (and wait for the screen-lock window to disappear) I can see the screen contents as seen before the screen got locked. I couldn't find a bug related to this one, so maybe I will file one. Or did I just overlook a config-option somewhere in the screensaver-setup? That's all for now ;-) Cheers, Johannes -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

akonadi-backend-sqlite no longer supported?
Hi list, After a system upgrade today, with qt being upgraded from 4.7.4-3 to 4.8.1-1 and a seemingly minor upgrade of some kde libs from 4.7.4-4 to 4.7.4-5, akonadi-backend-sqlite stopped working. For now, I've installed the mysql backend, which seems to run fine (apart from some mysql errors in the log), so the issue is not too urgent. The strange thing, however is that I don't get "SQLite" as a choice for "Database driver" in the akonadi server configuration dialog. Does anyone know if the backend is still supported?

Default-Selection in Polkit Dialogs
Hi, I recently tried apper as a gui for system-updates, and it mostly does what it should. However, everytime it requests authorization for gaining administrative privileges, the Polkit dialog has "Remember Authorization" enabled by default. I'm unsure whether I should file a bug against polkit-kde-1 for this bad choice of defaults for a security-relevant dialog. If one really wants to never see this dialog again, one can choose "Remember Authorization" once and won't be much worse off than now. But if one doesn't want the dialog to remember the credentialy, one currently has to change the selection _every_single_time. Is there any way to configure/change this behaviour somewhere?

KMail2 quirks
Hi, Since the upgrade to kmail2 (the migration went really smooth by the way), kmail shows some quirks on my system: 1) After logging into the desktop session, kmail needs 1-2 minutes until the window appears, and a little while longer until the folders are ready. During that time, the virtuoso-t is quite busy (which may or may not be related). 2) During normal operation, kmail is sometimes slow to display data (e.g. when switching folders, or when pressing "reply to all"), with a delay of up to several seconds. Other times (gladly most of the time), the speed is as ever. How about you others? Have you had similar experiences? Has anyone got some ideas what might be the problem?

Hello again, One more thing I stumbled upon: when adding a new folder to an imap account, I don't see it afterwards. I tried checking for new mail, closing kmail & killing the akonadi_imap_resource processes, and searched under local subscriptions to no avail. I do see the folder under global folder subscriptions, but I have them disabled and don't want to add them. Any suggestions how to get kmail to acknowledge the new folder?

KMail problems followup
Hi,
As I've written before[1,2], kmail2 has been very slow for me. Today, I
finally took the time to look into it and I found a workaround. In case anyone
else has got the same problem, maybe this will help:
Since I had already turned off email-indexing, I somehow thought that nepomuk
cannot really to blame. Well, today I realized that my nepomuk database uses
2.8 GB of storage! I have no idea how there could be as much metadata for my
files (~280.000) and email (maybe 10.000 mails total).
Creating a new nepomuk database (therefore losing any ratings and other
metadata I might have entered previously) indeed solved the problem for me:
1. Disable nepomuk completely in control center ("kcmshell4 kcm_nepomuk")
2. Kill remaining virtuoso-t processes
3. cd ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/ ; mv repository repository.bak
4. Reenable nepomuk
KMail is now as fast as it used to be. I've also reenabled file and email
indexing (mostly to see if the problems return).
So before you give up on kmail completely, you might want to see if nepomuk is
the problem...
Cheers,
Johannes
P.S.: I just realised that there is a program called nepomukcleaner which
supposedly cleans up corrupted databases. You might want to try this before
removing the database completely.

Override kscreenlocker_greet / run program when screen is locked
Hi, I would like to run a program whenever KDE activates the screen locker. AFAIK there is no ready-to-use method to just execute a program when the screen is locked. So far, I've found out that KDE calls /usr/lib/kde4/libexec/kscreenlocker_greet to lock the screen. According to some thread[1] that I found in the KDE forum, it should be possible to replace that program with a wrapper script I really don't want to replace the system-installed kscreenlocker binary, since this is bound to break whenever kde-workspace-bin is upgraded. Is there any way to tell KDE to use a different kscreenlocker binary? Btw. I already tried putting an executable file called kscreenlocker_greet into ~/.kde/lib/kde4/libexec/ and also checked that this directory is in the executable path for kde (kde4-config --path exe).

Re: Override kscreenlocker_greet / run program when screen is locked
Thanks for the suggestion. It's definitely an interesting way to do it and avoids the problems with replacing kscreenlocker_greet. OTOH it's a relatively complex hack for such a (seemingly) simple task... In the meantime I found out that there is a dbus signal that is emitted whenever the screensaver changes state. Maybe I can leverage that to get what I want. If I get anywhere with this approach, I'll write a followup. Otherwise I might just use your suggestion. Thanks!

[solved] run program when screen is locked
Hi,
Once I got my head around dbus, this was surprisingly easy to do. See the
attached python script. Just start it with your kde session, and it runs the
command whenever the screensaver changes state (maybe that should be changed
to only run on screensaver start).
Cheers,
Johannes

The tricky part when filing a bug with KDE is often to find the right package. In this case, that's kde-runtime: # dpkg -S /usr/lib/kde4/kio_trash.so kde-runtime: /usr/lib/kde4/kio_trash.so After that, the IMO best interface to the Debian bugtracking system is reportbug-ng, which gives you a Qt GUI interface for querying the BTS: # reportbug-ng kde-runtime (or just start reportbug-ng and then query for the package name) Actual bug-reporting in Debian is done using an email interface, but reportbug-ng starts your mail client and fills in the necessary information. Btw. it never hurts to also check the upstream KDE bugtracker: https://bugs.kde.org/buglist.cgi?product=kio&component=trash (Your bug is not reported as such, but bug 181901 might be related: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=181901 ) Cheers, Johannes signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

That doesn't have to mean anything. I've got four NFS shares on the same server, with all of them having identical entries in fstab (except for the path). 3 of them show up in dolphin, the fourth does not. God knows how the one share is different from the others to dolphin. So I guess that this little bug in dolphin is probably unrelated...

Well, that doesn't neccesarily mean that the email-addresses must not be munged. I don't know if this is supported by any mailing-list software, but how about just munging the addresses in the archive? I guess address-collectors don't subscribe any list just to extract addresses... Johannes -- "More than machinery we need humanity" -- Charlie Chaplin, The Great Dictator

If my analysis is correct, you need to find the problematic config file and remove(or fix) it.

You're right, but it doesn't make a difference :( I also tried it with the exact socket parameter mysqld was started with (and now also with the mysql.socket file in above directory) to no avail. Interestingly enough, mysql_upgrade shows the same error, whether the socket exists or not :| I verified like this: $ cd ~/.local/share/akonadi/socket-mani/ $ ls -l insgesamt 0 srwxr-xr-x 1 zing zing 0 Aug 17 23:00 akonadiserver.socket srwxrwxrwx 1 zing zing 0 Aug 17 21:02 mysql.socket $ mysql_upgrade --socket mysql.socket Looking for 'mysql' as: mysql Looking for 'mysqlcheck' as: mysqlcheck FATAL ERROR: Upgrade failed Cheers, Johannes

It didn't work with any of them handing > out IP addresses It may very well be an issue. Some routers provide firewalling and isolation between hosts on the same network. If you use a pre-configured router by your ISP, they might have configured some isolation between the hosts. (And if all threee routers have been from the same ISP, they should be configured the same). By any chance, do your Linux PCs use a wired connection? The fact that the PCs can talk to each other, but not to the phone(s) could be caused by the router isolating wired network ports from wireless ones. Johannes

Re: Correction of a Kmail-Akonadi Bug
Hi, Sorry for only picking a minor question from your mail and not addressing the rest. But that's the only part I have the resemblance of an informed opinion: On Montag, 22.

POP3 has been actively discouraged for the better part of the last 20 years, so I assume that you are indeed one of very few people that are still stuck with POP3 for one reason or another. As for kmail: I'm using kmail and I think (hope?) that there still is a sizeable user-base. Even after years of mostly akonadi-related woes it still is a great mail user agent (when it works)...

Apart from the session management currently not working at all, that was not what I meant. The window manager *is* able to position windows anywhere on the screen, but the application itself can not say "I want to open myself at position X,Y" as it could on X11 (if my information is correct). Virtual desktops are totally unaffected by this anyways and have nothing to do with window position. Cheers, Johannes

I've recently switched to Wayland because X11 was kind of broken on sid for a little time, IIRC. Entering my password before the display wakes up works fine here. Cheers, Johannes

Spectacle screen recording still doesn't work. Because it's easy to test I tried reproducing this: Spectacle does record my screen correctly. I tried with a whole screen, as well as with a rectangular region across two screens. Maybe the package has some undeclared runtime dependency that's installed on my system by chance? To add the few glitches that I experience: KMail forgets its column width preferences each time, so I have to resize the subject/sender/date columns each time. Cheers, Johannes
