OpenSUSE :: Localization On Kontact And KDEPIM Apps?
Aug 12, 2010
I'm using openSuSE 11.3 with KDE 4.5 from Distro:/Factory repos, and all seems to be right (some bugs on Digikam and Amarok but they are already reported), but I find that everything is in my language (Spanish) but Kontact family (Kmail, Kadressbook, Akregator,...) that are in American English .I tried to install all KDE's spanish localization from YaST and cleaning ~/.kde4 folder to reset configurations, but it's useless. I don't know if the problem is only mine or just localization in Kontact is not in repos (I noticed that Kontact's version is 4.4.5 because the "newer KDEPIM" is in beta right now).

Can I find a way to install the version of KDEPIM 4.3.5 used in 11.2 if I use Opensuse 11.4 or later ?
I really don't like the newer versions of KDEPIM that don't have functional distribution lists.

I just reinstalled openSUSE 11.2 for the first time. I took a backup of my /home first of course and then copied over to my new install whatever I wanted, like mails from Kmail and some other stuff. The only thing I'm missing and can't seem to find is my contacts from Kontact? Are they included in any of the other apps? 'cause I can't seem to find anything even related to Contacts in /home/.kde4/share/apps where all the other stuff from Kontacs where.

I would like to use Arabic as the system's language (menus, dialogs..etc.) but would like to keep to the LTR format of these objects. With things moving to the wrong side of the screen things can get confusing and unpleasant to work with. Is it possible to setup things so that I can have the language but keep the LTR direction of things?I'm running Lucid under Gnome.

I have a Palm TX. I used to sync it with kontact through kpilot. Now I have to use jpilot, but I prefer kontact because I have all the rest of information (mail, etc) there.

I have problem with Kontact since KDE 4.3.x (now I'm using 4.4.1). In earlier version (KDE 3) I had summary with calendar, holidays, notes and mail notifications in left column of summary and RSS (Akregator) channels in right column. I can't do the same thing with new Kontact - left column takes all summary window I don't have Akregator plugin in Summary configuration but Akregator is of course installed:

That's my main issue. I cannot add anything in the todo list. I have included a screenshot of the error message. Now just by chance could someone also point me in the direction of how to make it so the calendar will update and sync both ways with google calendar? Follow the link for the screenshot

After updating to kde 4.6, when I try to create a contacts group in kontact, it doesn't suggests anymore the contacts that match the letters already written. So, I have to write the complete name and the complete email address. Apart from the annoyance, it is a source of mistakes...

Microsoft Outlook increments Kontact invites by one hour. It appears that Kontact and Microsoft Outlook process ical.ics invite times differently. According to an inside source at Microsoft, Outlook is looking for a flag in the ical.ics file that indicates if time is being send in daylight saving time (DST), or standard time. If the DST/ST flag is not present, Outlook assumes the time sent is standard time. Outlook also looks at the time zone. If the time zone indicates DST is active, and the time sent is in standard time, Outlook increments the time by one hour. Kontact does not create a DST/ST flag for the ical.ics files it creates. Thus, all invite times I send to my Outlook clients are off by one hour.I don't know the ical.ics standard.
Is Kontact not implementing an ical.ics standard, or is this DST/ST flag just an internal Microsoft standard? IMHO Microsoft's algorithm for determining DST is inefficient, and not logical. The algorithm relies on the receiver knowing the DST rules of the sender. The logical way is to send time as an offset to universal time. The receiver then adjusts time according to the local DST rules, without having to know about sender DST rules.

I just started using Kontact and have imported all my contact details from Thunderbird.This worked OK, but I find that when I start a new email and begin to type the recipient's name, the email address is not automatically pulled from the contact list as I would expect.I also noticed that there doesn't appear to be a 'Send Email' option in the Contact screen once an entry has been selected.Kmail seems to be collecting email addresses from any emails I send, and if I start typing one of these, then it does auto-complete

I recently installed opensuse 11.4 on a remote server. It has GNOME installed as a desktop. The problem I am experiencing is that when logged in through VNC, most of the GUI apps are not functioning, especially ones that require root privs. Example: The Add/Create users context does not function. After you supply root pw, nothing happens. If you launch it from a terminal, you see this:
jjmuw@g01:~> xdg-su -c /sbin/yast2 users
Xlib: extension "RANDR" missing on display "::1:1.0".
No protocol specified
No protocol specified
[code]....
(y2base:4872): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: ::1:1.0
Followed by a hang. This is also affecting things like the Xen configuration contexts (creating/managing VMs).

Kontact is automatically started when I log in to kde 4 and I would like to figure out how to make it immediately minimize to a tray icon. When I used kde 3.5 I had a script in .kde/autostart that ran a dcop call to close kontact, which effectively minimized it to a tray icon. I assume that I should be able to do the same now with dbus and a script using dbus-send. The problem is that I haven't been able to figure out the exact dbus call that I would need. Has anyone else tried to accomplish the same thing? I've googled but all the results I've found are for kde 3. I'm using kde 4.1.3 and kontact 1.3.

I set up the spam wizard in Kontact/Kmail yesterday. I told it to put all the spam in the "Spam" folder. Seems the default is "Trash". Well, now it sticks everything in the "Trash" folder. Everything including standard e-mails that should go into the inbox. I've tried a few things. The program seems to be hung up somehow. Is there a way to go into a terminal and do some repairs?

I am using Kontact for mailing (with 'build-in' kmail), scheduling etc. I can fill a contact list manually in Kontact which is accessible when I am composing an email. Manually filling is quite time-consuming so I would like to know whether it is possible to one (or both) of the following things:
1) save your Kmail 'recent addresses' list to 'Contacts'
2) save emailadresses in incoming mail to 'Contacs'
[EDIT] I don't think it really matters but I am using OpenSUSE 11.1 at my office and Kubuntu 10.04 at home. My question is for both OSs

I've been running Kubuntu (up to 10.10 now) and also OpenSuSE. I have a Palm Pilot that I want to synchronize to the KDE databases for kontact, kaddressbook, korganizer, etc. Until my upgrade to KDE 4.5.4 I was able to use kpilot, but kpilot is no longer being maintained and has been dropped altogether from KDE 4.5.4. So I've been stranded. It seems that both kpilot and jpilot are quite ancient, not having been materially updated for ten years.
One suggestion I've heard is to replace my Palm with an iPhone, but that's not a path I want to take. The iPhone has capabilities (telephony for one) that I don't need but would be paying dearly for. Not only is the iPhone far more expensive than the Palm; it entails that horrendous and extortionate two-year contract with AT&T.
How I can sync my Palm to the KDE databases? One possibility is some combination of akonadi and OpenSync, but there doesn't seem to be support for that yet, let alone a clear explanation as to how to get that combination to work.

I installed openSUSE 11.4_amd64 on my system. All works fine but a lot of popular apps are missing from the repos. OpenSuse11.3 had them but 11.4 doesn't!I searched for apps like skype,isomaster,acetoneiso,openbravo erp,gsmartmon,smooth-task etc but didn't get any result. I have contrib and pacman repos enabled, still no luck...all the above mentioned apps were available in 11.3 then why not in 11.4..is it 'coz it released recently?

When I try to start korganizer from a konsole, I get the following error reply and kontact crashes
<unknown program name>(24450)/: KUniqueApplication: Cannot find the D-Bus session server: "Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken." <unknown program name>(24445)/: KUniqueApplication: Pipe closed unexpectedly.
In my newbie mind - there is something wrong with d-bus or similar. I can however start kmail and KAddressBook without problems. The crash of kontact/korganizer first showed up under my (up-to-date) Squeeze system. I then upgraded to "testing" but the situation is the same. I have filed Bug 274661 with the KDE bug tracking system. So far - no answer........

akonadi shows errors (self test) on every startup (on different setups and with different errors) that's very annoying, everything seems to work though, so i just want to get rid of that stupid message (why should an average user of kontact solve mysql problems?). decryption of mails is not working, because of a "wrong passphrase" (says so in the mail body). I was never prompted for a passphrase and kgpg decrypts the msg.asc fine, so its a kmail problem!? the spam / ham buttons are invisible. i added them to the toolbar with no effect (meaning, they are still invisible). Removing of other buttons works.

find a groupware solution that statifies KDE/Kontact and Thunderbird/Lightning users equally, I have stumbled upon a problem that appears to be Client related. While using Citadel, Thunderbird would sync its calendar using SyncKolab (IMAP-based) and Kontact would use GroupDAV. While Kontact worked perfectly, syncing with Thunderbird caused the calendar events to become 'invisible' to both Citadel and Kontact.
Now I am testing eGroupware, where Thunderbird sync's using CalDAV and Kontact still GroupDAV. Now events added by Kontact become invisible to eGroupware and Thunderbird when they are edited using Kontact... The Problem is hence in the way Kontact and Thunderbird handle their iCal entries (at least that's the only explanation I can come up with). Is there a known incompatibility between the iCal libraries of these two Clients? Has anyone had a similar issue? Is there a GroupWare solution that does not require me to setup a while network on a box (as in OpenXChange or Zarrafa) and still allows Thunderbird and Kontact to sync?

I have noticed that are a few applications (non part of the kde apps) that do not launch with alt + f2 (command name). Instead I have to use konsole first and write the command name, then the apps appears successfully.
The same problem I have of course with the same apps if I make a desktop shorcut. These apps never show up! Thus I would like to ask you what should I do to make these shortcuts and alt+f2 launches to work.

Im comming from ubuntu/mint and one of the things I got used too was doing something like "sudo nautilus" or "sudo gedit" and similar things. In Suse 11.3 I always get errors like the following
(gedit:6115): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:
kate: cannot connect to X server
Could not parse arguments: Cannot open display:
or similar variations of these.What can I so to prevent this from happening? even if I do "su" and try from there it doesnt always work.I like Suse as it feels more professional then ubuntu, but I am trying to make it as user friendly.

OpenSuse 11.2 (64 bit) KDE 4.3.5
Printing from KDE no longer works. Opening a simple text file in Kwrite and attempting to print the document causes kwrite to hang. While Googling on this problem I came across this thread. The case is very similar.
[URL]
Running kwrite from the command line does not provide any information to diagnose this behavior. Printing works from Firefox and OpenOffice. Printers produce test pages ok.
This behavior came about after the HP C6380 stopped scanning. During my investigations I was forced to reinstalled hplip. This may have broken something.
