Last week I have been in Nürnberg again, this time almost a whole week. On Tuesday evening I met Will and half a dozen other SUSE people in a really nice pub called Irish Castle. Ah, Guiness, Fish&Chips and more Guiness :) Though, as an afterthought, I should probably have gone with Wings&Chips like Will did, they just looked even more delicious. Read More

Since some August or so we are now requiring CMake 2.6 for KDE svn trunk. One thing was has been added and which is very nice support for the new environment variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH. It's purpose is to help with getting CMake to find what you want it to find. Read More

Stylish new Kubuntu gear available at the Canonical Shop. Just the perfect give for that special someone for Christmas.

I think we are getting one step closer to World Domination (TM) of Linux ! ;-) How come that I think that ? Have a look at that page (it's german): http://www.dm-digifoto.de/gratis-download.html Read More

The UDS warmup that is FOSSCamp ended on Saturday. Alex managed to charter an entire bus for the KDE spods just so we could hunt round the Google campus to find the giant android and take a fuzzy photo. Read More

I have not investigated the QEdje-Plasma-Applets much, but here's how to get them working, assuming you compile your kde from svn. Some info is on MoRpHeUz’s Blog. Not enough for me though... So here is a step by step walk-through. You probably need libeet-dev or similar, I just got a distro package. Get qzion and qedje: $ git clone http://dev.openbossa.org/qedje/qzion.git $ git clone http://dev.openbossa.org/qedje/qedje.git Build and install the stuff: $ cd qzion $ qmake PREFIX=$KDEDIR $ make $ make install Install qedje the same way. Rebuild Plasma from kdebase. Read More

openSUSE 11.1 will reach Goldmaster status within the next days which also means that things move around in the KDE:KDE4 Build Service repositories: KDE:KDE4:STABLE:Desktop has been already updated to the KDE 4.1.3 packages as in openSUSE 11.1. We will use this repository to collect and test future online updates. Every Fix_is_Ready:11.1 patch should be added there. Please change your repositories from KDE:KDE4:Factory to KDE:KDE4:STABLE if you want to continue using 4.1.3 before we do next step. As soon as SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 has been branched from Factory (maybe in one to two weeks) we will submit the KDE 4.2 Beta packages to openSUSE:Factory and they will appear in the KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop repositories for older distribution releases. When upstream has branched KDE 4.2 prior release (early January) and Trunk is open for 4.3 development then we will start to use KDE:KDE4:UNSTABLE again with regular KDE trunk snapshot updates. We don't plan to have KDE 4.1.4 packages. If you know of important bug fixes/commits in 4.1 branch that should be in STABLE/cumulative KDE online update please notify us about it (bug report preferred). Read More

So,I've moved. This is the first week that I'm in my new place. If you were wondering why I haven't done much coding, that's why ;-) Getting used to living away from the nest. Read More

This is likely interesting for more openSUSE Members blogging on lizards.opensuse.org: Yesterday Klaas asked me if he could make only his posts to the KDE category appear on Planet KDE. A short digging showed that WordPress allows to create custom feeds. So the solution was as as simple as Read More

Like Robert Louis Stevenson I live in the world's most beautiful city of Edinburgh. Sometimes I wonder if anywhere can match the splendour of my home town so I decided to travel and see what the world had to offer. Read More
