what kind of graphics card do you have?

MillTek · 2008-12-29 13:53:16

It's nvidia based from PNY.

Recently plasma uses up to 50% CPU usage, for no reason...
Does anyone else experience something similar?

I currently use version 4.2.0-2008122707

I'm going to update my packages tomorrow and hope this will be gone...

Stupid question - does anyone know if it is possible to have any type of notification while changing desktop when desktop effects are disabled?

habarnam · 2008-12-30 14:39:03

@tanis: Try System Settings - Window Behavior - Popup desktop name on desktop switch.
@pano: Yes, but only when Lancelot is active - also the Lancelot process eats another 50% CPU.

Great! Thanks!

Happy new year to everyone!
Mark i looked up the PKBGUILD of qt-copy in eth-os and i think you should add the -reduce-relocations option.
It is said that reduces cold start up times for C++ applications.

In order for me to make changes in eth-os PKGBUILDS, do i really have to use google id?

markc · 2009-01-01 22:08:29

Yes, Happy 2009 to everyone!

@capthookb: okay, a good hint, thanks. I've added that configure option and building it now. For you to make changes just send me, markc@renta.net, your normal email address. You don't need to have a Google ID but you still need to sign up to Google Code with that same email address so you get to have a password for svn checkins. Assuming you use /home/sources and /home/packages, just cd /home/sources and checkout the eth-os source packages using the https version of the source URL which will show up once you signup to GC. Just rm or mv the current non-authenticated eth-os source svn checkout first so you end up with /home/sources/eth-os then I can advise you, or anyone, with exact howto details. If you also install the mpkg package then your setup will be pretty well the same as my build machine.

capthookb · 2009-01-01 22:28:46

Ok, i've sent you my email address.

As far as the -reduce-relocations option, i think it makes kde snapier and more responsive.
Can anyone confirm this is true, or is it just my "imagination" ?

Hi,

Lovely work on the 42 packages, they help me a lot in keeping up with what's going on and writing/screenshotting etc about KDE 42 ;-)

I do have one request: I miss the packages from playground/base/plasma. Networkmanager is in there, for example, and even though it won't officially be part of the KDE 42 release, most if not all distro's will ship it anyway. So I would love to be able to test it. Besides, I moved my netbook to arch & the KDE svn packages and having decent kde 4.2 network manager support would rock

grtz & tnx

@superstoned: very pleased to hear you find these packages useful and thanks for the heads up on the playground-base-plasma package. It was not being installed properly on my i686 build partition because of conflicting files from an older playground-plasma package that I had not removed. Doh! Fixed now.

mutlu_inek · 2009-01-02 17:49:46

Unfortunately, for me, the network manager plasmoid still does not connect to wireless networks... I keep trying every week or so and I see only very little progress here and there. I'm really looking forward to having this working properly.

venky80 · 2009-01-02 21:46:29

Do we still have to use the -f option in the install or it is now much more stable?

FYI: The -f option has nothing to do with stability. If it is necessary, it just means that the packaging is not as clean as it could be and some files are provided by several packages.

Hi, most of the icons of kde apps are missing after yesterdays update, is there a way to get them back or is it just waiting for one of the next updates?

happy new year,
k.

markc · 2009-01-03 23:59:02

@karoshi: I think I saw some icon and background image svn movement, some old stuff was stripped out, hopefully it'll be okay next update.

To all... anyone have any idea how to determine the current akonadi version? Does anyone think I should be pulling the code directly from akonadi-project.org instead of kdesupport/akonadi?

Tom Albers wrote to release-team@kde.org:
In preparation of the KDE 4.2.0 release, we have released Akonadi 1.1.0 now. So, to be clear:

KDE 4.1.x must use Akonadi 1.0.x ( 0 for now )
KDE 4.2.x (incl. release candidates) must use Akonadi 1.1.x ( 0 for now )

Download it from: http://download.akonadi-project.org/

Ahah! cat /home/sources/kdesupport/akonadi/NEWS says

1.1.0                             03-Jan-2009
---------------------------------------------
- Restart agents when their executable changed.
- Buildsystem fixes to find and link boost on all platforms.
- Improvements to the startup to prevent partial startup.
- Include revision number in the version string when building from SVN.
- Shut down when we lost the connection to the D-Bus session bus.
- add some basic handling of command line args.
- Add a D-Bus call to flush the notification queue.
- Automatically fix world-writeable mySQL config files.
- Fix for FreeBSD mysql path.

That depends on whether you will follow trunk or the 4.2 branch. 4.2 will be branched soon and then new things for 4.3 will land in trunk. Today tags/kdesupport-for-4.2 was created, it will be what's needed for 4.2. It is not fully populated yet, though. I assume that kdesupport will be what will play with trunk/4.3.

markc · 2009-01-04 19:17:16

@mutlu_inek: thanks for the clarification. I'll be tracking trunk/4.3 so it seems we stick to the same old trunk/kdesupport.

Speaking of kdesupport, I managed to get phonon-vlc to compile as an extra component in kdesupport/phonon. I need this for the eth-os Qt bundle* I'm putting together but it could be useful to include in the kde-svn kdesupport package, but, it means requiring vlc to be a dependency of kdesupport. Anyone interested in this?

* this "bundle" will be qt-snapshot + phono-vlc + qtcreator + quarkplayer + arora... when I manage to get it all to build properly.

Has anyone noticed that Ktorrent seems to bring the internet connection to it's knees? Even with just one torrent running. I never had this happen before.

How about limiting the maximum bandwidth?

MillTek · 2009-01-04 22:57:16

I've tried a huge variety of the various settings to no real benefit. Maybe one of the updates over the next few days will change something.

Last of the Wolves · 2009-01-05 13:16:47

I've got a little request. I would really like to use OTR with Kopete. So could you please compile it with otrlib installed? Or is there another reason why I can't use it?

Greetings
Last of the Wolves

P.S.: Thanks for the repo. Good chance to try aktual KDE

As an aside, but still related to these kde-svn packages, I have an X problem here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61771 with kde-svn
I had to go with the vesa driver, as i can't so far figure out the problem with the xf86-video-ati driver- wouldn't boot into X at all. Worse yet, i can'r even reinstall it.

Anyway, it reboots into X fine with the vesa-2.0 driver, and as a bonus that finally solved my screen resolution problem with kde-svn. Previously (for about 8 months, it never kept my normal 1280x1024@75- on restart it always reverts to @85Hz, which reduces the visual screen size. I have to manually reset everytime. I tried all the fixes (xorg.conf, quit/restart plasma tricks, etc.), but nothing ever works.

Some time ago, I noticed at websvn that in kcontrol the old "ApplyOnStartup" option was removed from display config settings for kde4, and since then my preferred screen resolution has never been persistent. I don't know what the kde devs are thinking- this is the biggest PITA I've ever seen. This doesn't occur with gnome, xfce4, or LXDE.

Now that I've had to temporarily use the vesa driver and it now doesn't revert to @85Hz anymore in kde-svn, I'm thinking it must be an xf86-video-ati driver problem with kde4 only, as it doesn't occur with kde-3.5 versions (where "ApplyOnStartup" is still present)

Anyone seen this, and have thoughts about the subject with kde4/svn?
