1. It’s not displaying this blob correctly: http://cgit.kde.org/amarok/amarok/tree/README (”plain” works)

Do you have a copy of the generated html? It sounds like some error occurred while generating the reply, and if so the html would lack closing tags. Also, the httpd errorlog generated at the time of the incident might prove helpful.

2. It’s showing a bogus diff for this merge commit (while git show, Redmine, Gitorious and gitweb show none, as expected): http://cgit.kde.org/konversation/konversation/commit/?id=7d1cb2fae86290da76ee0d0ded602c777f6e0ac8

This is a known issue in cgit – it shows diffs against the first parent instead of the (usually empty) merge conflict diff. A proper fix for this requires some extensions to git.git, but a quickfix is just to disable diffs for merge commits. I’ll add a cgitrc-option for the latter, and try to extend git.git with the needed callbacks to show proper combined diffs in cgit.

3. The caching appears to be wonky in practice, e.g. with caching enabled it won’t update the Branch table on the “summary” page to show the actual latest commit.

I’ve seen similar behavior when the cgit process has lacked permissions to replace cache files (e.g. if the cgit binary had previously been invoked from the command line). When processing a request, cgit will favor fast serving of stale cache entries when a concurrent request has already locked the selected cache entry.

A copy of the cgitrc-file used in the setup of cgit.kde.org and the httpd errorlog for the period when you discovered these problems might help me debug/fix these issues.

Yes please. Just “def” will be much more convenient IMHO =)

But thanks a million, this is gonna be great!

What I’d really like to see is to be able to use several dict servers — e.g. what KDict does, only in either a Plasmoid or KRunner.

Could this be done?

metaObject()->method(metaObject()->indexOfMethod(“runQuery(QString)”)).invoke(this, Qt::QueuedConnection, Q_ARG(QString, “:” + query));

Awesome work.

@aseigo
Good thinking. But I don’t think I really want to do this. The way my application is setup, I have some bounds checking to ensure that child rectangles are never moved outside their parent until they’re reparented when the drag destination is fully enclosed in the new parent. This makes dragging rectangles from one place to another “stick” at the border between them until the user has deliberately dragged it far enough in.

Put more simply, doing something like that is incompatible with this:

QRectF transformed = transform().mapRect(boundingRect());
if (newPoint.x() < -transformed.x())
newPoint.setX(-transformed.x());
if (newPoint.y() < transformed.y())
newPoint.setY(-transformed.y());
if (newPoint.x() > parentItem()->boundingRect().width() – transformed.width() – transformed.x())
newPoint.setX(parentItem()->boundingRect().width() – transformed.width() – transformed.x());
if (newPoint.y() > parentItem()->boundingRect().height() – transformed.height() – transformed.y())
newPoint.setY(parentItem()->boundingRect().height() – transformed.height() – transformed.y());
return newPoint;

QPointF pos = item->scenePos();
item->setParentItem(newParent);
item->setPos(newParent->mapFromScene(pos));

There are two open Kmail bugs for making this possible in Kmail:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72926
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159251

You might want to vote for those bugs.

maybe something like “flickr: photos taken near me” and it will ask flickr to search for published photos near me.

Besides, we already have a good dictionary widget. I think the runner should use the same backend as the widget. Although adding support for additional backends for the widget and runner might be worthwhile.

he is using some website that are really useful for translators but also for every other person.

maybe you can also use it for the define part of the new runner.

i would love a translation plugin for krunner.

thanks for your work.

Though I have to agree with Andre. You better hope the immigration officers can’t use google.

is it possible to turn Webkit in Konqueror as default rendering engine? Now, when I want to use Webkit I have to switch it manually on in View menu.

Also, it is *very* important to know the language of the country you are planning to stay in. While you might work in an english enviroment, it will never be 100 % everything in english and outside your job you will need knowing the local language.

Finally, in Europe what you know for “gig” is not very common, most of companies here for external jobs tend to hire somebody they can later rely on, and somebody who is not going to be around later, is not usually trusted.

Those are my thoughts from my experiences in Spain, France and UK. Good luck

My company is looking for a competent Qt programmer. We are a small but stable operation with an international customers based just outside Paris, still reachable by subway. Use the email I registered under to contact me.

Perhaps the simplest is to try trough some temp-acency kind of firm, like Manpower(Or some French/Italian variant better fitting your skills).

Anyone who’s an actual person that really wants to mail you should get the message, and any spambots won’t care one way or the other, so you’re not really exposing yourself to more spam harvesting.

Since you’ve had your current domain for a while, you probably get a respectable amount of spam daily to begin with, so I should think you already have a method of dealing with it. As a side note, I’d probably just leave the per-site addresses alone, especially if there are too many to remember. It makes it super easy to filter for spam to those addresses (if recipient = nike@domain.com and sender does not contain nike.com, delete it), I really sort of wish I’d been doing that myself all these years.

Since you’re forwarding all this stuff to Gmail, create a filter that catches all mail sent to yourdomain.com but NOT to your_real_address@yourdomain.com. Set that filter to apply a “Catchall” label. Apply that filter to all previous messasges as well. Then at the very least you can simplify your python script to only consider this one label.

In the future, every time a new mail gets the Catchall label, handle it as you please. Keep an eye on the label and eventually, the catchall emails should dwindle to nothing, at which point you can disable your catchall and delete the label and filter from Gmail.

1)From now on, only give the single address you want to keep to new people and sites.

2)Send notifications to the actual people about the address change. (this is probably the most tedious part)

3)Change the e-mail address at the sites you care about getting more mail from or need the login for. “Need” meaning that signing up a new account if you find out you need to use the service would result is lesser service than keeping that account (something like slashdot or ebay which keeps track of reputation or which you build one like a forum). Otherwise, just create a new account when you find need to with your new address.

4)Set it so that your “from” e-mail address is always the new single one, even when replying to messages sent to a different address. This will make it easier to keep threads going as then no-one will need to manually fix the “reply to” field.

5)Every time you get a message to an address you want to get rid of (any other than your new consolidated one) from an actual person, remind the person to use the new address.

It means keeping the catch-all for a while longer, but eventually the only things being sent to your non consolidated address will be things you don’t care about and the work will be, for the most part, spread out so you don’t have to both do everything at once, and expect others to fix their behavior immediately.

Clementine just works as expected, well done! I’ll try mainline Amarok again with the major releases…

Remember: Forks are a good thing!

But resizing and moving windows is a pain.

What I can add is that things changed with kernel 2.6.32 for me. I tried many things : different FGLRX versions, and kernel versions. Up to 2.6.31 everything is fine. From 2.6.32 it’s not.

With 9.12 fglrx version, it simply wouldn’t compile for 2.6.32. There was a patch somewhere which allowed it to work, the problem appeared there for me for the first time. I switched back to kernel 2.6.31.
Now fglrx 10.1 is there and compiles for 2.6.32, but the problem is the same !

I didn’t change my Xorg version, it is X.org server 1.6.3.

I’ve tried different options in the linux kernel, and many versions from 2.6.32-2 to 2.6.33rc6, many things in X.org conf, it’s always painfully slow…
I haven’t tried older ATI drivers.

Maybe it has something to do with the kernel ? Something which changed there ?

Yth.

The top 3 lines of my wpa_supplicant.conf are:

ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
ctrl_interface_group=wheel
update_config=1

I’m also quite surprised / shocked by reading the comments, which imply that technical simplicity is not considered elegant by a lot of people

Btw – it didn’t work out of the box on my Gentoo system, I had to
– create a wpa_supplicant.conf file first to allow all users to connect (not needed in wicd since server always runs as root and clients connect via dbus)
– explicitly load the wpa_supplicant module in the network configuration file (not needed in wicd, since server starts wpa_supplicant directly)

Great! One layer less!

The line is so simple.

You’re right about the n00b linux user, who *should* have the most slick and easy configuration method possible. But for any user worth his salt who wants a good interface sans bloat, wpa_gui rocks.

Now that i gave it a try, it seems its aimed audience is not the average joe linux user, but rather the geek who want to know his mac address. I don’t feel uncompfortable with that, but i don’t understand why you try to make people use an ugly ui which is _just_ a wpa_supplicant gui and _not_ an integrated network management service as someone pointed out already.

more importantly, i’m interested in why wpa_gui is not very popular and why lots of people do not know about it.

wpa_supplicant used to be a pain to configure, but I retried it recently and I’m now as happy as can be (simple needs, though).
On my netbook running Arch (all other machines using gentoo), I settled for wicd a while back, but I think I’ll switch to wap_supplicant there too.

Had bad experiences with NM though

WPA_gui seems great – and I’ve been burnt many times by bad WPA in NM, trust me – but a compelling application platform must offer developers ways to communicate and query network connectivity.

In addition, NM does seem to be -very good- at integrating bluetooth and cell phones in one complete package.

It’s a great tool, but modern computing experiences demand more than great tools. It requires great integration. I hope that NM can be as reliable as possible though, so maybe it should learn a thing or two from WPA-gui.

Your post pretty much sounded like you had to tweak quite a few config files and scripts for those two connection methods (netplug [wired], ppp [bt->nokia]). I couldn’t find any hints wpagui supported these methods on the internet, so excuse me if I told anything wrong

Anyway, this just looks like a nice way for configuring networks. Definitely worth a try when networkmanager decides to give up work (again… )

My setup “just works” with no configuration necessary.

“For wired networking, netplug calls my ethernet setup scripts when I plug in an ethernet cable. No tinkering required. For my cellphone internet via bluetooth, I run “pon nokia” and my ppp chatscript does all the rest. This could easily be tied to a little menu button in my launcher.”

The problem is, this “just works” with the gnome nm-applet and the KDE one still has its bugs despite KDE4.0 was released two years ago.

I don’t really unterstand the problem, though, the KDE Networkmanager applet seems to work quite well nowadays. This would’ve been the perfect blog post one year ago

I always assumed it only did WPA, given the name. Ohwell, NM works just fine as well (for me), and lots of distros set it up automatically these days, so I don’t see a reason to switch.

Well, because this is the first I’ve heard of it. I wish I had one of my laptops with me, then I could give it a spin right now.
