Kubuntu 12.04LTS/KDE4.8.4 ... For whatever reason my plasma desktop crashed yesterday. Couldn't get it to come up again, so I deleted all the plasma files in the home directory to start from scratch. I must have done that in the protected mode unknowingly ... since today - when trying to change one of the desktop effects - I was told that I was running protected mode and should switch to the normal plasma desktop. Did as requested and ended up with an upside down desktop. Visually everything is upside down, but buttons still seem to be where they are supposed to be on the desktop (screenshots: http://goo.gl/N4tVF and http://goo.gl/YjPtc ). Everything looks fine in protected mode ... minus effects that is. Anyone have an idea what went wrong here and how to possibly correct it? That is indeed a strange problem. I have a couple ideas, but I guess you're translating from whatever (looks like German maybe?) to English (or maybe kubuntu changed the names I am doing this from german ... from kde standard?) and the terms don't quite match what I'm used to. So let's first confirm that we're talking about the same thing. =:^) 1) The thread title says plasma, and the pix look like plasma-desktop only. So the first thing is to confirm, it's plasma ONLY that's affected, correct? All other apps look normal? I might have been a bit incorrect here, since I didn't have any applications running at that moment, when I first ran into this problem. I just started from scratch again ... deleted the plasma* files in my home directory, rebooted and this time took care and chose the plasma-desktop session and not the protected one (when I say protected ... I can't think of another word for abgesichert which is also used when a windows crashes and gives one the choice of starting windows and starting a protected windows ... I think you get the idea). Started with setting up the desktop and tried to activate desktop effects via schift-alt-f12 and bamm! Everything upside down again, the screen flipped again, as I could tell from the control bar on the left side of the screen and the open system-settings window. Funny side effect .. while visually flipped I still had to click in the areas, where all the buttons are supposed to be (hope you understand what I am talking about ... :-) ) This is the most interesting part. What graphic card/driver (optionally acceleration method) are you using? This is only the output that is flipped, KDE and X know nothing about it. Try running an OpenGL appllication (preferrably fullscreen, with kwin effects disabled). My guess is that it too will be flipped. To check that it isn't a weird kwin bug, create a new user, and try enabling effects there. 1 solution workaround you already found : Since you mentioned OpenGL I chchanged the composite type to Xrender and I don't the problem there (means I can activate effects without the flipping of the screen). the other would be to change/update a part of the graphics stack.

I did not configure any of the accounts but I found 2 accounts automatically got configured. It looks like the accounts were using my unix username. This is just a guess but haven't you by any chance started your laptop on a public network with many Apple/linux devices present? My guess is that fedora automatically creates a local xmpp account, which discovers users in your area. check the type of the accounts. Can you please help me on this? Is this something strange or this is a normal behaviour? Are there any default chat rooms which automatically get configured or is there something related to KDE wallet? I am little bit worried.

Re: [kde] How to filter out KDE notifications from certain applications?
Hi, I am experimenting with the byobu screen manager under KDE 4.8.3, but every few seconds a KDE notification pops up to say Activity in session 'Shell'. From this I gather that you start the WM from Konsole? How do I stop this from happening? (Either by stopping byobu from sending the notifications or by filtering in KDE to stop the notifications from appearing? The latter solution would be preferable, since that's more general and could be useful in other circumstances.) This can be stopped in Konsole. My guess is that you have enabled watch for activity (sorry, my KDE is in French, might be different; the default shortcut is CTRL+SHIFT+A) in the appearance menu (again, language), which generates a notification every time something is printed. You can completely disable notifications : just right-click on the notification icon, and configure it (or completely remove it). Filtering by application isn't possible AFAIK.

Re: [kde] KAddressbook Spawning Tags (Update)
Hi, sorry for not replying, I've been away for the week Le mardi 22 mai 2012 09:50:52 vous avez écrit : Greetings. Thank you again for all the help messages, it does make a difference when new avenues are pointed out to remove the frustration of not seeing solutions. Further to my last message, the spawning tags have mutated overnight. What was two on the contact I use as reference is now 17 tags, of which one was added by me yesterday. The extra tags were created involuntarily by nemopuk last night with all my attempts to deselect and reselect and delete. But at least they don't seem to be breeding out of control on their own any more! That's progress, I suppose... When I gave up last night, new tags would be displayed in the Contact data view as a nemopuk + code entry. This morning that changed to display the correct tag description in the contact view, but the tag description that displayed last night in the tag selection view has now changed to be just a tickbox with no description next to it like the tags I found immediately after populating the new user's contact list with my data. Where did all your tags come from? Are they stored in the vcard? AFAIK nepomuk starts out with no tags at all (unless it uses the vcard CATEGORIES/NOTE property, I really don't know). What is strange to me and perhaps someone can explain to me, is this. This is a new user on the same system with the same data. I accept something is broken in the original version, but this should have been solved with the standard default setup of the new user, the new user starting out with the invisible tags in the tags view is however even more useless than the original broken version. Were the tags there before you imported your contacts? If yes, it may be your distro's default setup that is broken. Either the developers didn't test for this behaviour before release, or there is still something I can change on my system to resolve this. If there is I will try, but once again I am stumped. Me too, as I don't really understand what's going on. All I can recommend you to do is always do things one step at a time, then check if everything still works. Should I report this as a bug, or is there something else anyone can propose I try before I do that? Try to find a way to reproduce it, if possible without any random behaviour. I'd suggest using a small(er) contact list (using a new user, so that you know that the kde setup isn't broken). and trying to import it. Then report it.

Re: [kde] KAddressbook Spawning Tags
Le dimanche 20 mai 2012 10:18:03 Lex Middelberg a écrit : My system is being used daily for work, however it is a stock standard system that I installed somewhere in 2009 and simply upgraded as and when new version of Kubuntu became available. I never tweaked it Some time last year I upgraded and it all turned into a nightmare. I lost my emails and kontact is more problem than help. It is a bit late now, but I wish I had tried gnome with evolution first. In any event everything is stock- standard as KDE or Kubuntu set it up. Yes, upgrades can be very bumpy. If you're still using the user you created in 2009, with the same configuration files, I am not at all surprised that your PIM setup is shot. A great many changes have occured since then, and the migration wasn't smooth at all. Have you tried backing up those contacts, deleting the resource and creating a new one? Why would that work? How should I do that? Through Systems-Settings? nope, with akonadi-related problems, akonadiconsole is your friend. However, I must warn you that used incorrectly, it can be very destructive. As for the why, because its broken, I'd try to fix it by starting at its initial state (yes, I'm a programmer) Is the akonadi nepomuk feeder active? If you mean to ask is nemopuk enabled? The answer is yes. If you are asking something else, I do not know where to look to see if the feeder is active. Which version of KDE does precise come with? 4.8.2 If you're not using nepomuk for other things, you can start from scratch (new user/delete nepomuk configuration), I guarantee that will get rid of the tags. You will then have to recreate the akonadi nepomuk feeder though. Isn't that a bit extreme? See above, I don't know what else nemopuk is linked to. I am not aware that it does anything else on my system. Nepomuk is used for file tagging, history and other fun things. For instance, it indexes all your music files (extracts the id3 tags) and you can use this desktop service directly as a music database via the bangarang media player, or the music:/ kioslave. As of 4.8 it is also used for mail indexing, and does the heavy lifting behind mail search (not the quick filter bar). If I create a new user what about my emails and contact list? What about my data in the home directory of the current user? What about my accounting data and the data and configurations stored by all my other software? As I see it, since you're in a non-working situation, you have 3 options : a - create a new user b - delete non-working config c- switch to something else C was very much debated here, I won't go into it. a : copying data isn't a problem, just copy all non-hidden files. Copying mails contacts: know where they're stored, and you're ok. App configuration can be a PITA : for every app you have to know the necessary files and where to place them. b : I did this several times, completely deleting all PIM-related config (sometimes including nepomuk). It involved a bit of manual setup after to get it working from scratch (I left the wizards disabled), but IMO it was worth it. This is best done from a tty (terminal) without the desktop running as your usual user. first delete ~/.config/akonadi, then ~/.local/share/akonadi then delve deep into ~/.kde4, and delete anything that seems related to akonadi/kmail/addressbook (the whole PIM). Be careful though, as korganizer might be keeping a calendar file in the ~/.kde4/share/apps/korganizer/ subdirectory, and you haven't said where your mails are (kmail might have them stored somewhere). After this, since you're not actively using nepomuk, I recommend you nuke evrything related to it too. (most stuff can be reindexed anyway). Then log in (GUI), and the default akonadi configuration should appear. You can then configure all resources as you need using system settings. if you have customized apps, option b is a lot easier otherwise if reconfiguring all the apps isn't such a hassle, I'd go for option a. I just realized that this thread went from 'addressbook not working' to nuking all akonadi/nepomuk configuration. Fun :) As a sidenote : I really do recommend nuking nepomuk, because the nepomuk feeders got a pretty big rewrite for 4.8, and really many bugfixes for 4.8.2/3, so it should work well (at least it does for me, although granted I don't have nearly as many contacts). And I cannot stress this enough : make backup of important data before playing around. It all comes down to : do you want to try fixing your KDEPIM, or migrate now to something else...

YMMV, but claws-mail was a better solution for me anyway, What are the best choices for replacing Kmail ? After upgrading to 12.04 (and KDE4.8 with it) and still getting strange effects with all that akonadi driven stuff I switched to Thunderbird, since I also use it with windows. It does what I expect and - for me a big plus - a WORKING calendar plugin for Google. for me, since i started to use openSUSE 12.2 with KDE 4.8.3, all akonadi/nepomuk/strigi related problems have stopped -- at least until now. i don't think it depends so much on the distro version, or even the minor version of KDE 4.8.x, but that i started with a new $HOME this time. Indeed, this was a very important step for me too. Akonadi was slow, showing the mail list was unusable. Upon updating to 4.8.1 I deleted all akonadi/pim related configuration and haven't had an issue since.
