Error in US Daylight Savings Time
by Neal Becker
I just noticed that korganizer is telling me that DST begins April 5.
I'm guessing this is coming from:
/home/nbecker/.kde/share/apps/korganizer/std.ics ??

Shutdown doesn't power off
by Anne Wilson
Hehe - I've just done my first 'hack' - which really means that I made an
intelligent guess and it's cured the problem :-)
On Tuesday night I set the netbook to shut down, and went to bed leaving it
'doing it's thing'. Next morning I saw a blank but lit screen. Last night I
stayed with it and saw the message
/etc/rc0.d/S01halt: line 178: [: missing ']'
In fact the ']' is not missing, but it needs a space in front of it, after
which I now have a clean shutdown.

Why Do I See some gnome stuff running on my system?
by Eli Wapniarski
Hi Everyone.
Can somebody answer me why I see gnome-keyring-daemon gconf-im-settings, gconfd-2, running when I'm not running a single gnome app on my system?
Does anyone else see this behavior.

Odd behaviour of Dolphin with pendrives
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I don't use Dolphin much, being more of a command-line traditionalist,
but recently I turned off the automatic Nautilus pop-up that would
appear whenever I inserted a pendrive (I don't recall ever configuring
it but it was just there). However the pop-up did have one useful
feature, viz. that it showed me progress during slow copies of large
files.
Imagine my surprise when I tried to do the same with Dolphin.
1) No auto pop-up. This is probably a setting somewhere and hence my
fault. For now I just click on the drive icon in the Kickoff menu,
though a nudge in the right direction would be appreciated.
2) While copying to the drive, if you have the "free space" indicator
enabled it dutifully decrements as the file is copied. However the
detailed folder display does *not* show the target file changing size
unless you hit F5, i.e. Dolphin shows inconsistent information. This is
teeth-grindingly ridiculous but not really a show-stopper.
3) On unmounting the drive (click on the drive icon and select "safely
unmount") the pending writes are flushed and the drive is unmounted,
*but the pop-up window doesn't go away*! Not only that, you can click on
a file and the system will try to open it, followed shortly by an
obscure error message when it fails. This is just absurd.
I hate to say it, but Nautilus has Dolphin beat hands down in this
respect (which is the only thing I really use it for).
Am I missing something obvious or is this known/expected behaviour?

Marble update problem?
by Anne Wilson
Several days ago there was some talk about marble not updating, due to a
missing package. I've calmly gone on using skip-broken to get around this,
but I'm still seeing the problem.
What is this libgps package? Where do I find it? Yum tells me 'nothing to
do', 'rpm -qa whatprovides libgps' just drops back to a prompt.

various syscalls. :)
[10:48] <aarapov> place for imporvement.
[10:48] <aarapov> FYI. :)
[10:48] <aarapov> I can give you systemtap script that generates it.
[10:48] <aarapov> COUNT / per second
[10:49] <aarapov> for example, kopete does failing sys_read 23 times per
second.
[10:49] <jreznik> hmm
[10:49] <aarapov> the main question, that should arise - what the hell is he

New mail notification in Kmail (kde 4.2.2)
by Martin Kho
Hi,
I've set up Kmail as a IMAP-client for gmail. No notification message pops
up, when new mail arrives. To see if there is new mail, I've to enter all my
folders. Under Settings --> Configure notifications I've chosen to get a pop
up a notification message and a mark on the taskbar.
Anyone else seen this behavior? Can I alter this? Or ... is it a
bug/regression?
Thanks,
Martin
