Fwd: Opera browser in PA i386 - cont

2013-12-07 Thread Bogdan Cristea

And it seems that Flash Player is working (at least on youtube)


 Original Message 
Subject:Opera browser in PA i386
Date:   Sat, 07 Dec 2013 21:00:28 +0100
From:   Bogdan Cristea 
To: active@kde.org 



Hi

I have downloaded Opera browser archive for i386 and it runs smoothly in
PA installed on an ExoPC tablet. The main issue seems to be that the on
screen keyboard is not triggered when needing to input some text. I am
wondering if there is a way to manually trigger the on screen keyboard
(not sure however if the text will be received by the text box in this
case). Other solution might be to try to write an extension for Opera in
order to have integration with PA. What do you think ?

regards
Bogdan

Re: random idea about OBS packages

2013-11-12 Thread Bogdan Cristea

On Tue 12 Nov 2013 04:12:41 PM CET, Marco Martin wrote:

an update on the direction i'm going.

At this point using invocation of the external tool osc it can fetch both the
proper rpm filesize and correct rpm name, buiold number included.

One problem is that right now it's based on the extension of the uploaded file
being ".desc", but apart being hacky, the branch mart/obsmanager of the server
works.

one idea was, instead of requiring a file to be uploaded is to have some data
source concept..

The database already has the concept of "externpath", so, if the user while
creating an asset from obs does instead specify a repo and a package (like
home:foo) the externpath becomes
obs://build.merproject.org/home:foo/packagename

when this happens a desc file gets created (that should probably become json,
to ensure a bit of expandibility) and it works as now in the mart/obsmanager
branch

when the publisher approves a pending request, another external osc invokation
happens automatically and it does a copypac of the package between home:foo
and kde:stable:apps, so the approval procedure would be completely web based

not sure if i explained myself clearly at all.. but, comments? ;)



The idea of submitting just a repository path and a package name is 
something I was expecting from the beginning. But you need some online 
validation mechanism in order to make sure that the user fills 
correctly these fields.

I was thinking about how to make the osc integration a bit better, since now
is a bit clunky (starting from the fact the input fields in the upload form
seems to be a bit confusing)

another problem that surfaced is that when there is an update in plasma active
that touches things like kdelibs, it triggers a rebuild of the other packages
as well, changing the build number, making the packageid invalid (i corrected
by hand the two assets interested)

an idea may be:
* the user only inputs the project (or not even that if we force all to be in
a single repo)
* the ackage name (again the obs package name and rpm name are the same in 99%
of the cases)
* the architecturei586,armv7hl (if we still want to be two different assets
for the two architectures)

then the descriptor file on the server is just a template, the actual
packageid should be generated by a command (possibly when the asset is
downloaded, to be really really sure is the newest one)

something like

osc list -b kde:stable:apps TabletReader|grep TabletReader

seems a good base for the job

opinions? comments?



I would go for using the package name and its version number, as defined 
by the author, e.g.

name: TabletReader
version: 3.0.2
then the number generated by the build system is added automatically.

However, I don't see how you update the package from that single repo 
when the author makes available a new version. Should the author upload 
all the files needed to build the package on OBS ?

Errors when editing an already published asset

2013-11-10 Thread Bogdan Cristea

Hi

When I try to edit an already published asset (created from OBS) I have 
noticed that the selected platform is Vivaldi, even if previously I have 
published the asset for PA. This is an issue as assets for Vivaldi 
platform are rejected. Also, the fields for screenshots and application 
icons are empty even if previously I have filled this fields.

Turning screenshots into icons is not implemented; you need to provide

yes; but it only got implemented tonight (thanks to marco)

Is it still the plan to implement that in the future? For me, this is the
way to go, because what works better as an icon for an image than a small
version of it?


yep. and for things like books we even know which screenshot to use (the
front cover).

many will still want to create their own custom icons, though, as generally
the result will usually be better.


Sure. People should have the chance to provide their own icon, with auto-
generated ones as fallback.

Today i completed the submission procedure of the owncloud client and (after

rough edges are still there (and expect them) and improvements are still to be

Yes, the grid exists in Plasma 2, but due to screen size is less obvious,
while for small touch-screen it becomes a little too intrusive. Is there a

Plasmoid installation in PA

2013-09-07 Thread Bogdan Cristea

Hi

I had a look at new plasmoids installed on PA (Picture Frame). No 
modifications are needed to be installed in PA, but when a plasmoid is 
added to an activity it seems a little strange that the plasmoid 
position and size are somehow limited to some discrete values, i.e. the 
plasmoid cannot be positioned anywhere on the screen and its size cannot 
vary to any value. Also, plasmoid installation went well only when the 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set to /usr, the default value (/usr/local) 
does not work.


One more question. Where could I add the new plasmoids I find to work on 
PA (e.g. picture frame) ?

Do you think the tasks for the test were picked randomly? Most of the 
tasks in the test are essential for working with what sets Plasma 
Active apart from other OSes (like adding things to Activities, 
tagging stuff in Files or using SLC). It's not the first time I set up 
a usability test.



To me, this is not a "polished product", this is still an (advanced)
early adopter / developer version.


i understand you feel this way (i noted so in my earlier email, 
even). this is

not your call to make, however.


It's standard procedure in human-centered design to do a usability 
test before releasing a product. And in every company I've worked 
with, people not being able to finish important tasks (or having big 
problems along the way) results in a red light, forcing the product 
team to do another iteration before release.
I know that's not the way it works in FOSS: We release early versions 
into the public to get feedback from a wide range of people. That's 
absolutely okay, but calling it a "polished product" instead of an 
early version still does not make sense to me.
It's not my call, but it isn't yours, either. If the majority of the 
team feels that PA4 is a polished product (which may very well be the 
case), then I have to bow to that majority, of course.



And since we target early adopters
and devs, why do we call it "polished product”?


we target early adopters and devs because there are no devices that 
it comes

pre-installed on.


Yet I have heard several times things along the lines of "The people 
we target with PA4 will be fine with that", which translates to me as 
"We assume the target audience of this release to have above-average 
computer skills".


real products ship. real products are not perfect. yet somehow 
people use

them and even fall in love with them.


Release early, release often, I know. That's what all FOSS should do 
and

most do. But e.g. Simon or KTp give their - already pretty mature -
products 0.X version numbers and say they'll call them 1.0 when they
find nothing really missing anymore (that doesn't mean they cannot be
improved anymore, though).
I know this isn't about version numbers, but I've never heard David 
call


yes, it is not about version numbers.

that said ... Simon is quite mature; KTp still has a ways to go. 
regardless,
one of the hurdles KDE projects face is this perfectionism bleeding 
over into

public communication.


I consider both Simon and KTp pretty successful, despite their making 
clear that they are not "1.0" yet.


we can, and do, have all sorts of valid criticisms of the products 
produced.


for most people, that doesn’t matter one bit. and so when we go out 
and tell

people how *bad* our software is (which is exactly what your messaging
translates to in people’s minds) they just don’t use the software at 
all or if

they do they focus on the negatives we’ve  primed them for.

the result is that they do not use software that would actually work 
*just

fine* for them and even make them happy.

why? because we’ve pointed out what it does not do well in an attempt 
to over
our ass instead of highlighting what it does do well and focusing 
people on

that.


I know this list is publicly readable, but do you think what's written 
on this list directly affects public opinion? Read the quote from me 
in the article. Does this sound like pointing out how bad PA4 is to you?



I don't mean to say that we did bad work, because we didn't. We did
great work, but we still have more great work to do before we have a
"polished product". PA4 is great, but still very "rough" in a whole lot
of ways.


shall i list all the bugs i run into on a daily basis on my (not very 
old)

Android phone?

shall i share the pain of watching my brother-in-law use his brand 
new top-of-
the-line Android phone while he complains about this or that as he 
fiddles

about with it?

you are trying to live in a world of perfection that doesn’t exist, 
and that

mindset is an existential threat to the  project.


I pointed out why I would not consider PA4 a polished product. I did 
not write a blog post about PA4 being bad or anything.


I have different standards for "polished" than you. That's fine with 
me, but I don't think that means I'll have to shut up and keep my 
standard for myself.
To me it's similar with bugs: I may have annoyed you and Marco and 
possible others as well when I insisted on several bugs being fixed 
before release.
However it turns out that fixing these bugs took only a few days, 
resulting in improved quality. And it was not that bug fixing which 
delayed the release in the end. I gave my green light on august 16th. 
If I'd kept my mouth shut, those bugs would still be in there.

It's not a traditional application, more like a system service. The

Using the "mirall" owncloud client will cause havoc, so choose either one.

Hello Bogdan,

I was having the same result.

the full process for installing and setting up owncloud...
launch Konsole
as root, zypper in owncloud-client

launch Settings from the Application pulldown
there will be a new item
Synchronization
ownCloud Client
where you can set up ownCloud

However, I entered the remote location and my credentials in the ownCloud
application...before getting to this screen

So not sure how that part of the process goes.

Hi

I was able to run ownclound synchronization interface from Settings 
applications and use for connecting to my local owncloud server. Folder 
synchronization works, so overall this module is usable.


I have found the following issues:
- owncloud module is accessible as stand alone application, but it does 
not work. Not sure how the owncloud module is implemented, but maybe it 
could be possible to disallow running this module as stand alone 
application.
- when filling the login in form and pressing sign in button nothing 
happens. After trying to synchronize some folder the login credentials 
are asked again and finally I am connected and able to select folders 
from my owncloud server
- the folder/file list is not correctly sorted as uppercase names appear 
first, then lower case names. It is not the way the user expects the 
folder/file list to appear

Hi Bogdan,

https://github.com/Joker/timekeeper  tells you how to install the

The addons app is supposed to be the single/central place on
PlasmaActive to get new features. Our addons app is a client for the
bodega server (which is open source compared to kde-apps.org
<http://kde-apps.org>). It also uses a different protocol. I am not
aware of plans to support GHNS (the protocol used by kde-apps.org
<http://kde-apps.org>) in PA so it is very unlikely to get an easy way
to install things form GHNS services.  However it should be possible
to install plasmoids via the addons app very soon.
How we get people to also upload their things on a/our bodega server
is another problem.

A bodega developer will probably be able to tell you more.

This is the approach I have used, since that plasmoid is written in 
QML/Javascript using only plasmapkg with the *.plasmoid file is enough, 
but there are still some dependences missing. I was not aware about the

According to Marco, the current Add Ons store should theoretically be

- Active Okular: there is still an issue when changing pages (different 
page width)
- Add-Ons: when one selects an item from the right-most list, the view 
should automatically scroll to the left in order to show the right-most 
panel (which allows to download and view the book)
- owncloud client can be installed, but I was unable to start the 
client. Not sure how this client works, but I was expecting to see an 
icon on the main panel that allows to display a GUI.


I am also wondering what is the status of the Application Store for PA ? 
Are there plans to provide something similar to KDEs Install Widgets 
interface from kdeapps.org (and have a PA-dedicated section there) ?

Setting up an AP development environment for your application

The recommended approach for application development is to use a PC with a 
Linux distribution (e.g. openSUSE). If needed, clone and compile the required 
PA libraries, notably Active Quick, on your platform. However, this step is not 
mandatory as long as the application interface is written in standard QML. As 
general rules please use cmake as compilation management system and QML for 
your graphical user interface. See PA Apps Recommendations and Guidelines 
(http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Apps) for further details.

Once your application is ready for testing, please use the latest PA iso on a 
supported device (e.g. ExoPC). Enable the development repository on your device 
and type

zypper refresh
zypper dup

in order to update your PA installation. Make sure that your application 
compiles and runs on PA. 

There are a number of limitations on PA, for example there is no full screen 
mode for the application as the task bar should be always displayed in case the 
application misbehaves. These limitations are not always documented, so please 
test carrefully your application. If needed, install synergy 
(http://synergy-foss.org/) in order to have keyboard and mouse support on your 
tablet. However, check carefully how your application is adapted to touch 
screens as this is the main target for PA. Using a virtual machine to test your 
application is not recommended as full touch screen support is not (yet) 
available.

Once you have tested your application, you can prepare it for deployment by 
setting up your repository on Mer Project Open Build Service 
(https://build.merproject.org/). For alternative ways of deploying your 
application see PA Packaging and Distribution 
(http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Apps#Packaging_and_Distribution).___

So, little update:

I built an image of kde:ux:stable (pa4) against the current mer 
release, instead the old one that was used, and now installs correctly 
to the ExoPc :)


is not that easy since i had to rewrite nemo-mobile-sesison, that in 
turn needs nemo:mw:current, the userspace systemd session, so the 
kickstart has to be a bit convoluted.


an image should be
http://makeplaylive.com/~notmart/plasma-active-i586.iso 


(didn't try that file exactly)

so the things to be doen to do a release (at least on x86) are:
* build on a fixed mer release (that now is the current)
* use nemo:mw:devel (should need a fixed nemo release as well)
* put the redone nemo-mobile-session in kde:ux:stable,testing and devel
* adapt the kickstarts to new repos

Comments?

Hi

Are there any chances to have an update of Qt framework from 4.8.3 (as it is 
now in AP) to 4.8.4 (for example used by openSUSE 12.3) ? I have noticed a 
different behavior when listing the content of a folder with 

QDir directory = QDir(currentDir_, "*.*", QDir::Name | QDir::IgnoreCase | 
QDir::LocaleAware);

Folder names beginning by a parentheses are displayed first in the list in 
4.8.3 while in 4.8.4 the parentheses is ignored and the first letter is 
considered.

Thanks for clarifying this issue, but on AP there seems to be an issue with 
showFullScreen() as on openSUSE 12.3 there is no need to use setGeometry() for

ok, in this case I keep my implementation hoping for this future feature in AP 
:). 

I do believe that a full screen might be needed as the main panel occupies 
useful space on the screen.

Allright, it's a good point. In my case I am actually using my own toolbar

Hi

I am trying to force my application in full screen mode, but it seems that the 
main panel is always shown while my application window is below the main 
panel. Is there a way to force an application window to be in full screen mode 
without the main panel ?

For full screen mode currently I use

QRect rect(0, 0, QApplication::desktop()->width(), QApplication::desktop()-
>height());
setGeometry(rect);

Hi
  I have just installed it on my exopc tablet. At reboot AP does not start. 
This one works: basyskom-plasma-active-wetab-exopc-tablet-mer-

Hi Thomas

I am willing to contribute to Active Okular. As you might remember, I have my 
own version of an e-book reader. Is there an official way to submit 
applications 
to AP ? How about the status of qt5 ? AP uses rather qt5 than qt4 for 
development ?

Just an update: the devel image from 1st March 2013 works on my exopc.

In Active Okular, when switching pages, the page width is not always the
same, sometimes I see below the previous page. Is this a desired effect ? I
find this to be rather disturbing. Also, is there a way to choose page zoom
"fit width" ?

This approach of rendering epub using qwebkit would be beneficial for chm 
documents too. Currently okular renders them as images so that all embedded 
links are frozen (not clickable). kchmviewer uses a different approach that 
works much better for chm docs. I am interested in this topic and willing to

That could be put on the KDE wish list :)
The guys from KDE for Windows group might have some ideas.
Also, Digia (who owns Qt) has plans to port Qt to Android, thus making Qt a 
viable option to write Android apps, which probably will be much more easier

That is rather a matter of taste and user preferences. There is indeed an 
average user taste wich should be enough for now, but in a long run providing 
several options (not only for user animation) should be a better approach.

   I haven't been able to attend this meeting, for some reason I have not 
received the announce for the meeting date.
  My interest is related also to the e-book reader and I have the following 
propositions:
- use several page animations
- implement an options page to allow, among other things, the selection of the 
page animation
- okular active might need some internal rework in order to use okular core 
library as backend and separate completely the frontend implemented in QML.
- I have not yet tested okular, a must have feature should be the ability to 
open at star the previously opened document at the last read page. Please 
confirm if this feature already exists

   Not sure how well works the app store, hopefully I will put there soon my 
own version of the e-book reader

In order to encourage the application development, I think that a tutorial 
explaining how to setup a development environment for AP would be very useful 
(everything compiled from sources, not some kind of distribution having 
already installed the binaries). Maybe a building system written in python, 
similar to emerge used by kde for windows team. Also, this might help a lot 
with the tests.

Hi

tabletReader uses now okular core library (with some modifications). I am 
about to submit my changes to okular team so that okular core library will be 
independent of the settings of the front end. Currently I am trying to use a 
single DeclarativeView for tabletReader, the current sources can be found in 
the git repository here

https://projects.kde.org/projects/playground/edu/ebookreader

However, you might experience compilation issues since okular does not yet 
integrate my changes.

For an alternative to tabletReader you might have a look at Active Okular

Thank you, actually the install instructions exist on PA site, but they are

Installing plasma active (PA) on Balsam Professional fails

2012-06-25 Thread Bogdan Cristea
Hi

I am trying to setup a development environent for PA using an ExoPC tablet. 
The only way till now was to install the Meego based image, but this solution 
is not appropriate for development since the repositories are scarce in 
packages.

I have followed the instructions for installing PA on Balsam Professional with 
Balsam-Professional-12.1-USB-Install-i586.img and 
http://community.kde.org/Plasma/Active/Installation#Installation_on_Balsam_Professional,
 
but after installing PA from repository the KDE desktop becomes unusable.

Trying to install PA from source seems to be difficult, because one needs to 
compile first KDE. I have tried several times, but with no luck and there are 
no clear instructions on PA site.

So, I think that we need a development environment for PA based on some well 
known Linux distribution (personally I prefer openSUSE) if we want to have 
more applications developed for this platform. 

Please share your thoughts and experiences.

2012-05-19 Thread Bogdan Cristea
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=300327

Bug ID: 300327
  Severity: normal
   Version: unspecified
  Priority: NOR
  Assignee: active@kde.org
   Summary: active-okular does not support djvu and chm files
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux
  Reporter: crist...@gmail.com
  Hardware: Meego/Harmattan
Status: UNCONFIRMED
 Component: General
   Product: Active

active-okular cannot open djvu and chm files (error message says "No plugin for
mimetype ...")

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install active-okular in meego with active plasma, devel release
2.open from terminal a document with active-documentviewer
Actual Results:  
Cannot open djvu and chm files

Expected Results:  
Should open the file or display en error message to warn the user.

active-okular should use the same okular core library as the classic okular
application. When installing active-okular the okular backend should remain the
same.

tabletReader is not abandoned. I have been able to integrate okular core 
library into tabletReader, but there are some compilation problems due to 
separation issues between okular core library and its front-end. I am about to 
submit a patch to okular in order to try to fix some of these issues. This is 
why I am not yet able to provide an rpm, because I use a customized okular 
core library.

Everything is possible, but I need to know in what format the data to be 
displayed is presented by the backend. Currently only pixmaps are used, even 
if for chm is not the most efficient way.

If calligra could provide some library as backend for handling e-documents, 
that could be easily integrated with an e-book reader in the future.

Hi

Not familiar with calligra words, but it seems to be an word processor, not an 
e-book reader. We already have discussed about reusing okular core library as 
backend with a redesigned GUI, and this is for now the chosen solution, but 
proposals and contributions are always welcome.

Hi

Having a release for AP3 is fine for me, even if there is no schedule yet. We 
still need to agree upon a name for the e-book reader, not sure that 
tabletReader will remain.

What platform you have used for testing tabletReader (OS, version, hardware) ?

thanks

Hi

Thank you for your feedback. Currently I am working on the integration with 
okular core library. Once I finish with that I'll have a look at these issues.

Hi

Have you tried to install chmlib rpms provided for openSUSE 12.1? They should 
work with the rpms I provide. If you still have problems, please provide more 
details about your OS in order to be able to test this issue on my side.
