From smartboyhw at gmail.com Thu Aug 1 11:33:10 2013 From: smartboyhw at gmail.com (Ho Wan Chan) Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2013 19:33:10 +0800 Subject: Kubuntu PowerPC builds Message-ID: Hello Kubuntu Council, Developers, Contributors and Users, Recently Steve Langasek announced that Ubuntu Desktop will drop it's PowerPC builds due to build failures and at the same time performance issues. He did say that it will not affect Ubuntu Server PowerPC builds, and community flavours such as Lubuntu and Kubuntu. For Kubuntu, our attitude has been that if the PowerPC image can build successfully and properly tested, we should provide releases of such images. However, a survey conducted by Russian Ubuntu users revealed that 80% of users agree to the decision of removing such images. Steve himself did say that it shouldn't have influence since the technical reasons are not included, but because of exactly that, it means that removing PowerPC builds isn't a real problem for users. So, I'm suggesting that we should change our attitude, and stop building PowerPC images. Now, I know quite a number of people will object to my suggestion. But, it doesn't exactly mean that you can't use Kubuntu (or KDE) on PowerPC, it's just that we won't provide images. What PowerPC users can do is to use the mini images and install Kubuntu. These images are really tiny and can be installed using a CD at anytime. Or they can just install the images provided by Lubuntu, and then install "kubuntu-desktop" meta package (and maybe rip off the relevant LXDE parts). These images are more frequently, thoroughly and properly tested than our PowerPC images. Even some Kubuntu PPC images before release have to be tested by Lubuntu PowerPC testers, since we have no testers available. Don't forget, we aren't exactly Lubuntu, who wants to support every single old computer. Alternate images are what Lubuntu still wants while we have already dropped it. Why should we drop alternate images if we can properly test it, as in coherence to our attitude? So, what are the pros and cons of removing PowerPC image builds? Pros: Save testing time on PowerPC builds (and no need to wait for it at all before we can release betas or final releases) Don't have to rely on other testers Don't have to spend time squeezing size of those builds (like Lubuntu does) Cons: PowerPC users can't install Kubuntu directly (you can still install it indirectly). This is just a suggestion, and developers and users are welcome to provide evidence for or against it. Remember: We are NOT Lubuntu.

Is GVFS, (Gnome virtual File System), really necessary to Kubuntu, or can I safely purge/remove/jump up and down on it's corpse? I've recently discovered that it's metadata files may be whats causing firefox and other programs to latch up the processor/file system/memory/etc., to the point where I'm locked out of my machine for long periods of time.

That depends on your dependencies. This is an example of my situation. $ aptitude why gvfs i virt-manager Depends python-gnome2 i A python-gnome2 Depends libgnome2-0 (>= 2.17.3) i A libgnome2-0 Recommends gvfs I need virt-manager, and virt-manager depends on python-gnome2. python-gnome2 /recommends/ gvfs. The difference with /depends/ is that it's just extra functionality. I don't need it, so in my situation I could safely remove gvfs.

Turns out that in my case it is because I have "hybrid" graphics with both Intel and AMD. As the amd proprietary drivers don't work for my card (though they should) I normally just switch off the AMD card or my battery life goes really bad.

Well, I finally spent some quality time with Mr Google, and here's what worked for me. It was [expletive deleted] Nepomuk. In Settings / System Settings, click "Desktop Search". I had Nepomuk turned off, but some disabled checkboxes were still selected. Select the first checkbox, then deselect the others, then deselect the first one again. Also make sure that all the checkboxes on the "Indexing" tab are deselected. I did this on both desktop machines, then cold-booted them both several times to make sure. When the KDE desktop appears, the K menu is immediately responsive.

Unfortunatly some of my backup tapes went a little wonky, and I've been fighting a number of battles getting things working properly again. I've gotten it down to two main problems, (fingers crossed), and need a little info. 1. /var/mail is supposed to be a link to /var/spool/mail. After all this time I'm still a virgin when it comes to links, and have no idea of the right command for creating the link is, what type of link is needed etc. 2. Alpine's .pinerc file uses a set of string variables for sending info to alternate mailers. They are in the "%" format. The only one I can remember offhand is %s for the Subject: line. There's a bunch of others, but the file I had those in was one of the ones I lost in the transition. Any help on the above, much appreciated.

Now freshclam runs and fetches the database. Except ONLY when I run it from my (regular user) crontab. I can move it, or make it access where it is being put by that command line from crontab. I think I'll try and make the clamav-daemon use where its at, tons less perm problems. Cheers, Gene -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Check to see if you have usbmount installed. If you are using KDE it has its own system for mounting USB and does not need this extra package.

I think you misunderstand... not everyone *wants* to have everything on their machine indexed. This should be a feature that the user can disable.

However, the upgrade either wants to pull in God knows how many "kde unrelated" packages, see below: "316 packages upgraded, 573 newly installed, 16 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 2 051 MB of archives. After unpacking 4 455 MB will be used" An upgrade on another computer with 12.04 Precise went without a glitch. I have no idea why my primary system wants to pull in packages like "ant", apparently something java-related, and 572 other packages of all kinds. Has anyone made the upgrade on Quantal and managed or do I need to back down to Precise or is it my system that has "something weird" that I need to figure out? Any input is most welcome!

Try this: nepomukctl start nepomukctl restart nepomukctl restart fileindexer If this didn't help, you might have a corrupt database, so maybe removing ~/.kde/share/apps/nepomuk/repository/main/data/virtuosobackend/soprano-virtuoso.trx and then nepomukctl restart will do the trick.

I don't know, however.... I never use Akregator, and never install *webkit* intentionally. I suspect your problem is related to why I never install *webkit*. AFAICT, WebKit has no support for the "physical" sizes that KDE depends on. That is, fonts in KDE are sized in points. A point is a physical size, 1/72" on paper, and 1/72" on a PC screen only in cases where the DE's desktop pixel density matches the physical pixel density of the display. When they don't match, physical sizes essentially become logical sizes. Either way, these "physical" sizes are DPI dependent, that is, rendering a given "physical size" requires more pixels per glyph as display density increases beyond 96. In cases where density is below 96, most web browsers assume 96 regardless what the physical density actually is. In WebKit, instead of a point attempting to equal 1/72", it corresponds 1:1 to a pixel. Whether a WebKit pixel is physical or logical is something I'm not currently up to speed on, but you can see what I'm talking about by loading http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html in various browsers. I've not tested FF 22 or 23 yet to see what if any difference(s) from previous versions may exist, but at least up through 21 you'll see a match between Firefox (or SeaMonkey up through rv21) and Konq configured to use the KHTML engine, compared to Chromium or Rekonq or Konq configured to use WebKit. The latter render point sizes in pixels, because that's the way WebKit is. If your display is at or near 96 DPI, you won't see a difference among the five. However as display density is increased more than nominally above 96, pixel sized objects get progressively smaller physically, while point sized objects do not - until DPI reaches 192. Beyond that point things get more complicated, which I won't try to get into here, and likely does not apply to the problem you seem to be describing. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

My display is 96 DPI as reported by both xdpyinfo and X, and testing with the link you suggested, kwebkitpart does indeed report it wrongly as 105 DPI, while KHTML reports it as 96 DPI. Interestingly Rekonq, which uses qtwebkit, reports it correctly, so it must be possible to "instruct" webkit to use the correct DPI. If I force fonts DPI to 96 kwebkitpart reports it correctly, while KHTML reports it as 0 DPI :D Both renders the same in Konqueror though, so it seems kwebkitpart isn't initialized with Konqs settings when used in Akregator. -- Med venlig hilsen / Best Regards Thomas Tanghus From jfrantzius at gmail.com Tue Aug 27 12:53:46 2013 From: jfrantzius at gmail.com (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?J=F6rg_von_Frantzius?=) Date: Tue, 27 Aug 2013 14:53:46 +0200 Subject: Compositing unstable In-Reply-To: <1596451.xYO7nBl2Of@lindsay-office> References: <1596451.xYO7nBl2Of@lindsay-office> Message-ID: Hi Lindsay, the video card is a Quadro FX 880M, and driver is NVidia proprietary: nvidia-graphics-drivers-304-updates (304.88-0ubuntu2).

As I think I understand it, optical drives are not actually mounted until media is inserted. Then the device is mounted with proper user permissions, etc as needed. /lib/udev/rules.d is one place where the criteria for devices and actions are defined. I am not sure but I don't see why you could not create an fstab entry for your optical drive if you wanted. It has been quite a while since mounting and accessing these without being root/using sudo was a hassle, which may be why it is hard searching for information. If you insert a disk and run the "mount" command, you will be able to see how it is mounted, then try creating an fstab entry based on the information seen there. -- Clay Weber (claydoh) http://kubuntuforums.net http://claydoh.com From kbun at xpresso.seaslug.org Wed Aug 28 06:58:06 2013 From: kbun at xpresso.seaslug.org (kbun at xpresso.seaslug.org) Date: Wed, 28 Aug 2013 06:58:06 +0000 Subject: Where is it?

The point is that having a plug and play system hardware can come and go and therefore the kernel has to populate /dev dynamically, this is the aim of udev(7). Ubuntu decided to use udev also for "assumed" static devices, such as cdrom, and therefore there are preconfigured udev rules for making the device appearing once a media is inserted.

I've taken some screenshots of how Akregator[1], Konqueror[2] and Firefox[3] renders a paragraph set to 16px[4] and all but Akregator shows it OK. So the problem is not in webkit, but rather in Akregator I assume.

Which is part of what I've been trying to do. I have Two DVD drives, only one of which has been operating reliably over the last several LTS installations. Once I get fstab working on one, no doubt with some slight modifications, it shouldn't be too hard to get the other one working. Then it'll be time to try and figure out what the installation software didn't do about getting _both_ drives properly set up in /dev and /media. Hopefully I'll be able to duplicate what's needed without too much fuss, but then how likely is that? > The point is that having a plug and play system hardware can come and > go and therefore the kernel has to populate /dev dynamically, this is > the aim of udev(7).

Which is exactly what I've been trying to do. One drive has been working moderatly well and the other hasn't. Now I need them doing things not available in/to GUI software, it's a bit of a slog. Well, one good thing has finally happened. Here's the fstab line that finally worked: /dev/dvdrw1 /media/sr0 subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec 0 0 Other than the two names at the start, it was a cut and paste job off a web site, and I have no idea what a subfs or the rest of it is for. Here's the mount command that worked with it: mount /dev/dvdrw1 -t auto -r /cdrom And the mtab entry with a movie DVD in the drive: /dev/sr0 /cdrom udf ro 0 0 If the names seem to be an odd mix, blame it on what the installation did to link pointers, directories and etc., in /dev and /media.
