KDE 3.x Window Decorations by dralgebra 175 comments
I'm using CrsytalGL on my home machine with no problems, and I like it a lot!
Unfortunately, I tried installing it at work as well, but it isn't working here. The titlebar and window borders do not get rendered at all, they simply take on whatever pixels exist behind them (i.e., alpha=100%). However, they also are not getting updated properly when I move the window, so I don't think it's just a transparency thing.
Home machine (crystalgl works): Gentoo amd64
Work machine (crystalgl not working): Fedora core 3 i686
I have verified that opengl is working on this machine (glxinfo shows "Direct rendering: yes" and glxgears shows 2000 fps).
Any ideas? - Mar 03 2005
Unfortunately, I am getting a crash whenever I try to open the configuration window (compiled on Fedora core3, KDE-3.3.1).
Maybe I don't need to open the config, but I don't know the default keystroke to open the UI! Maybe you can add that to the (presently empty) README file...
In the meantime, can anyone clue me in as to what keystroke opens the UI? - Feb 28 2005
--------------------------
This is caused by some version collision between KDE and gcc, I think. Here's a workaround that works for me:
edit metabar/src/metabar.cpp
Just below the #include lines, add:
#define METABAR_EXPORT __attribute__ ((visibility("default")))
Change the instance of "KDE_EXPORT" on line 39 or 40 to "METABAR_EXPORT"
--------------------------
Let me know if it works for you... - Feb 25 2005

I think this wallpaper is good, but could be made a lot better with a few changes (please take this in the firendly open-source spirit in which it is intended!)
I really like the blurry, city-at-night photo, but it doesn't really blend well with the bright purple background color and stark "GENTOO" letters.
Try moving the photo strip nearer to the bottom of the image, and make the background color darker and/or less saturated. Maybe a black edge along the top and bottom of the photo. Also, what do you think about making the "GENTOO" text smaller and right-justified, just below the photo strip? Gentoo logo: semi-transparent? Or get rid of it altogether? - Jan 13 2005

Tried at work (Fedora Core 2, KDE 3.2.2); failed with above errors.
Tried at home (Gentoo, KDE 3.3.0); success!
I suspect it doesn't work with KDE 3.2.x... - Nov 02 2004

KDE 3.x Splash Screens by meNGele 2 comments
Some ideas:
ability to copy results into the clipboard, and to drag results to other apps.
double-click on an entry in the history list to copy that entry back into the input buffer.
double-click on a result in the history list to copy that value into the current expression in the input buffer.
For example, I type "3+4", and get "7" in the list. I then type "4*" and double-click on "7", and get "4*7" in the input field.
Nice work! - Oct 05 2004

if [ -e %u/*~ ]; then mv -f %u/*~ ~/Desktop/Trash; fi
as you are suggesting, then the "*" is expanded to a space-separated list of all the matching files in the directory. -e expects only one argument, so the command fails.
That's why I was trying the more convoluted statement I originally posted. - Jun 22 2004

I'm the author of cleanbak. Please be aware that if you try to move backup files to Trash on a directory in which there are no backup files, you'll get some bizarre error message about the mv command not being recognized. I believe this error message appears because mv throws an error if the source file does not exist. I need to avoid or suppress this error, so that konqueror doesn't panic.
So, I have been trying for a few hours to write an Exec command using bash to check whether backup files exist before trying to move them, but I have not been successful. Here is my latest unsuccessful attempt:
Exec=/bin/sh -c 'path=%u; t=$path/*~; if [ $t != "$path/*~" ]; then mv -f $path/*~ ~/Desktop/Trash 2>/dev/null; fi'
So, if backup files exist, then t is a space-separated list of the backup files. If no backup files exist, then t is assigned the literal string "$path/*~" (with $path expanded). That's why I only execute the mv command if $t != "$path/*~". It's an ugly kludge, but it does work in a test shell script I wrote. It just doesn't work in the cleanbak.desktop file:
the mv command is never attempted, whether backup files exist or not.
If anyone has advice or ideas on how to make it work properly, please let me know! - Jun 22 2004
I am using KDar for the first time. I asked it to make 4.7 GB slices, so that I can backup to DVD. However, it just finished the archive, and it's a single slice that is 9 GB in size.
(I have "split archive" checked in the config window, and 4.7 GB for both the slice size and the first slice size...why do we need a separate entry for the first slice? I also checked "pause", but it did not pause when it got to 4.7 GB).
Any idea why it didn't slice it? Can k3b span a single file onto two discs, or will I need to delete it and try again?
thanks,
Jason - Mar 31 2004

This is great, I love all of these servicemenus! However, it isn't working for me, and I have a fix for you.
In my ~/.kde/share/config/emaildefaults, I have the line:
EmailClient=kmail
So, in your python script, the variable emailclient, which starts out as "$KDEDIR/bin/kmail -s %s --body %B --attach %A" gets reset to simply "kmail". This happens on line 54 ("emailclient=ec").
I fixed my local copy by changing line 52 to:
if ( (ec=="") | find(ec,"kmail")!=-1):
Hope that's useful!

I had some trouble compiling the 0.9 release on my Fedora Core1 box. The linker fails with "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxine". I have installed both xine and xine-lib RPMs. I had to explicitly make a symbolic link in /usr/lib: libxine.so -> libxine.so.1. I guess this is a bug in Fedora's xine or xine-lib RPM. I've seen in the past that the *.so link is provided by a "devel" RPM, but I was unable to find a "xine-devel" RPM for Fedora, so I'm a bit confused.
Anyway, just a heads up if any Fedora users have the same problem.
By the way, if you are going to link to libxine, shouldn't configure check for it?
thanks,

Would it be possible to have it detect whether the file is executable, and show either "make file executable" or "make file not executable" in the Action menu, rather than placing both actions in a submenu? Or is that too complex for servicemenus? - Mar 08 2004
You will be happy to hear that a true fullscreen mode already exists in CVS. We are also adding an option where the kstars window can adjust its color scheme to a dark-vision theme to match the dark-vision theme of the sky map. (Without this, you'd still have a brightly-colored menubar, toolbar and statusbar, even in fullscreen mode) - Mar 03 2004
I just watched the deleted scenes on the DVD of "A Beautiful Mind". This game was invented by John Nash while he was a student at Princeton, because he was frustrated with the mathematical imperfections of Go.
Thought it was pretty interesting, and it reminded me of this! - Mar 02 2004
I am stuck on the 3rd or 4th level of the "Introduction to TaxiPilot" series. It's the level right after the "KDE Desktop" level.
There does not seem to be any way to get to the "Bottom Right" and "Bottom Left" platforms. There are these door-like blue lines blocking the way, and I can't seem to get them to open.
Can I have a hint, please? ;) - Feb 21 2004
We have to make this check for KStars too. sincos() is a GNU glibc extension. Add this line to your Makefile.am: "KDE_CXXFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE". This will use the GNU version of math.h, if it is available.
Then, wherever you have sincos() now, you should replace it with:
#ifdef __GLIBC__
#if ( __GLIBC__ >= 2 && __GLIBC_MINOR__ >=1 )
//GNU version
sincos( AngleRadians, &Sin, &Cos );
#else
//For older GLIBC versions
Sin = ::sin( AngleRadians );
Cos = ::cos( AngleRadians );
#endif
#else
//ANSI-compliant version
Sin = ::sin( radians() );
Cos = ::cos( radians() );
#endif
Hope this helps! - Feb 06 2004

Fantastic icon set! However, the index.desktop file states the name as "Crystal SVG beta1". I already had an icon set with this name installed from KDE CVS, and it is *NOT* this icon set, it is 0.9 I believe. Anyway, when I installed the new one, my kconfig showed both names listed, but selecting either one just showed the old icons. I fixed it by modifying your index.desktop file so the name is "Crystal SVG 1.0". - Oct 14 2003
