Workaround for bad Qt4 performance
by Sanne 07 Jan '13

07 Jan '13

Hi all, I was listening in on the last irc meeting and caught an aftermeeting mentioning about bad Qt4 performance. I offered an article and a possible workaround I found recently, in case people are not aware of it, and was asked to bring it to attention to other developers also, so here goes: I'm suffering bad graphical performance in Qt4 and PyQt4 applications and searched for solutions. I found a post on nokia.com [1] that mentions a command line switch that might help. In short: adding "-graphicssystem raster" to my Qt4 applications' command line improved performance drastically for me. There's also a method to set it programmatically, and an environment variable [2]. [1] http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2008/10/22/so-long-and-thanks-for-the-blit/ [2] http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7/qapplication.html#setGraphicsSystem Thanks and much regards, Sanne

Editing MNG files
by Darrell Anderson 17 Apr '12

17 Apr '12

In tdebase/kicker/data/kickoff, are image files that need branding updates: kmenu_active.png kmenu_basic.mng kmenu_flipped.mng kmenu_vertical.mng I updated kmenu_active.png (GIT hash d4e6607ad6a9bfc49f4dfeced379c136704714b1), but the other three are animated (MNG) files that I can't perform mere touch up with kolourpaint. To my knowledge no TDE apps support MNG editing (viewing yes, editing no). The only app I find for that is GIMP and I won't go there. Would somebody with some MNG skills look at updating those three MNG images? To update the logo, you should be able to grab the same from the kmenu_active.png I uploaded to GIT. Thank you ! Darrell

Kicker Crashing
by Tiago Marques 13 Apr '12

13 Apr '12

Hi all, Kicker has been crashing on me when I hover the "System" menu on KMenu. It's a Ubuntu 11.10 system, with packages from the sources available on the website. Can anyone reproduce this? I merely installed "kubuntu-desktop-trinity". Also, this meta package should be pulling kpowersave or something that does power management. Best regards, Tiago

More SAK Challenges
by Darrell Anderson 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

When I boot into my virtual machine running TDE in graphical login mode, I am prompted to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete to login. I have UseSAK=false in tdmrc. I have the same identical tdmrc in my physical machine and am not prompted to press Ctrl-Alt-Delete. What is TDM keying off of to generate the SAK prompt despite SAK being disabled? Darrell

amarok - riokarma support is not buildable, it needs to link to karma-sharp.dll - WTF?
by David C. Rankin 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

All, What is this karma-sharp.'dll' stuff in the amarok cmake files? Isn't .dll m$ only? I have libkarma -- but it doesn't have any .dll: /usr/bin/chprop /usr/bin/karma_helper /usr/bin/riocp /usr/include/ /usr/include/libkarma/ /usr/include/libkarma/lkarma.h /usr/include/libkarma/utf8.h /usr/lib/ /usr/lib/libkarma.a /usr/lib/libkarma.so /usr/lib/libkarma.so.0 /usr/lib/libkarma.so.0.1.1 /usr/share/ /usr/share/man/ /usr/share/man/man1/ /usr/share/man/man1/chprop.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/karma_helper.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/riocp.1.gz Shouldn't this work? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

bug #905 partial fix
by Leandro Nini 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi all, as reported in bug #905 tdebase cmake file does not check for long long support breaking stuff like memory info module. To fix this I've added the following lines to CMakeLists.txt: include( CheckTypeSize ) CHECK_TYPE_SIZE("long long" LONG_LONG) and this line to config.h.cmake: #cmakedefine HAVE_LONG_LONG 1 I'm not a cmake guru, just looked at the cmake wiki page, so please double-check. -- Leandro -- Caselle da 1GB, trasmetti allegati fino a 3GB e in piu' IMAP, POP3 e SMTP autenticato?

Has anybody else been able to build mlt libraries? The build failures I see indicate mlt has not yet been converted to the tqt layer. Darrell

bugs 910 and 909
by Calvin Morrison 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

Hi all, I was looking into bug 909 and 910. Basically the wheel scroll action is built into KDEUI and it is hard coded. relevant files are: tdelibs/tdeui/ktabbar.cpp tdelibs/tdeui/ktabwidget.cpp What is a solution, a global configuration option? or can we intercept/disconnect/handle the signal so it doesn't go to ktabbar? Thanks Calvin
