http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog Mon, 03 Mar 2008 23:29:49 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've set up a small repository containing some experimental packages for KDE4 for testing purposes. Some of them will be submitted for review if they are working properly (konq-plugins), some of them are building fine but crashing (kaudiocreator), some will maybe become part of KDE 4.1.0 (kdiamond) or are just ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2008/03/04/packaging-some-experimental-applications-for-kde4/ dragonplayer, the successor of codeine, was accepted and imported today and should hit rawhide with the next push: Homepage: http://dragonplayer.org/ Koji build: 31481 [inspic=186,,fullscreen,thumb] (I' still don't know how to make proper screenshots of a playing video...) And two more packages: I'm also trying to get kaudiocreator into rawhide. At least it's compiling again but normally ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2008/01/14/some-more-kde4-packages/ Today is the release day of KDE 4.0.0. The packages should find their way into the repository soon or they are already there. What's missing is another live image to test the new stable version of KDE without the need of installing rawhide. [inspic=175,,fullscreen,thumb] rawhide-KDE4-i686-20080109.4.iso rawhide-KDE4-i686-20080109.4.sha1sum Package list, Screenshot gallery Some notes: - the live image ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2008/01/11/livecd-for-rawhide-with-kde-400/ I want to drop a small comment of what is preventing the release of some kde 4 live images for testing. The main problem at the moment are two bugs: #421261 - crash on startup: 'module' object has no attribute 'arch. #422061 - KDE4 applications aren't starting at all. The second one is ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2007/12/13/status-of-the-kde-4-live-images/ Fedora 8 will be freely available tomorrow. So it's time again for a short howto for the creation of a localized spin of the english only Fedora-8-KDE live image. Sadly I wasn't able to use revisor to do this (again). But the opportunity would be that this howto describes the ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2007/11/08/create-your-own-localized-version-of-fedora-8-live-kde/ Since the removal of beryl from the repo at the date of the final development freeze, KDE was lacking an easy way to switch from kwin to compiz and back again. Now I'm glad to say that we would be able to provide a small kdialog script to do this ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2007/10/31/kde-in-f8-with-a-counterpart-to-gnomes-desktop-effects/ This evening the long discussed "request-for-help-the-KDE-SIG-mail" has gone out to some Fedora mailinglists (eg. fedora-devel-list). Since Roland Wolters (liquidat) has requested to include my blog to planet.fedoraproject.org (thanks for that! :) ), I will try to explain this mail in my basic english a little bit. Why do we (the KDE-SIG) needs ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2007/10/30/a-request-for-participation-in-the-kde-sig/ Damit die Ergebnisse aus dem zugehörigen Blogeintrag über die Desktop Effekte in KDE nicht verloren gehen, schreibe ich das einmal hier kurz nieder und werde es auch weiter aktualisieren. Worum gehts? Die beryl-Pakete wurden letzte Woche im CVS von Fedora für tot erklärt und aus dem Repository entfernt. Die Begründung dabei ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2007/10/22/kde-desktop-effekte-mit-compiz-manager/ Beim herumtesten mit Compiz in KDE bin ich im "Compiz Configuration Settings Manager" (ccsm) über ein kleines nettes Plugin gestolpert, dass wie beim "Desktop Plane"-Plugin die Viewports herausgezoomt nebeneinander anzeigt und dabei auch noch ein Fenster direkt von einem Viewport in einen anderen per Drag'n'Drop verschieben kann. [inspic=165,,fullscreen,thumb] Da ich schon immer ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2007/10/22/expose-ala-compiz/ Wie es aussieht, wird KDE in Fedora 8 ohne die wabbelnden Fenster auskommen müssen. beryl wurde am Mittwoch aus dem CVS entfernt mit der Begründung: Mark beryl bits as dead, since its merged back with current compiz Leider nur haben es die Konfigurationstools, die auch unter KDE benutzbar sind (ehemals beryl-manager und ... http://www.deadbabylon.de/blog/2007/10/20/fedora-8-kde-ohne-desktop-effekte/
