Hello ladies and gentlemen.
I have a few problems with my openSUSE 11.3 (I were using openSUSE 9 ages ago, then I moved to Debian, jet after few years I though way not to give openSUSE another chance :P).
Basically all is great except for 1 little annoying problem - system tray. Applications like Amarok, Network Manager, SUSE updater, etc just does not show up in system tray! Amarok keeps playing music after I minimalize it to tray, but its no where to be found XD.
I’m using the following repositories:
download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3/
download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_46_openSUSE_11.3/
packman.unixheads.com/suse/11.3/
Do you ppl know any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
PS
Do you know a command for zypper to install newest packages, ignoring branding (from who package is)? That is one of things that truly is a pain, and which I never experienced while using Debian.
Please let me see your proper repo list with:
zypper lr -d
I have the same problem and my repos. is :

You are using Factory kde repos
Why not remove those and use the Release 46 repos!?
And remove 13, 8 and 4
The repos you need to replace #2 and 5
Index of /repositories/KDE:/Release:/46/openSUSE_11.3
Index of /repositories/KDE:/Extra/KDE_Release_46_openSUSE_11.3
Then switch to those with the switcher

Lastly do

If that all seems too much
Just try a new user account to test how that behaves first
It solved the problems ;). Sounds like Packman repositories are not compatible with KDE 4.6…
Thank you ;).
BTW. Do you know where is my favorite ‘update-grub2’ command? It is strangely not available after installing package grub2 from official repositories ;].

Not a good idea
Don’t do it
Stick with legacy in openSUSE
Why not? I kinda got used to Grub2 in Debian. I find it very comfortable, and customizable. I just cant find update-grub2 command XD.
For one thing other tools in the stack (yast) don’t know grub2 they know grub legacy so kernel update for one thing will break things badly.
I’ve got this bug too using the 4.6 factory Repo for 11.3, not seeing it on my 11.2 machine using 4.6 factory though.
Issue with the systray widget in kde 4.6 11.3 factory ?
Not true - I run KDE4.6 from Factory and it works well with Packman (I do not recommend to use Factory-repos here, I just state that KDE4.6 is compatible with Packman packages).
@Dragon32: I also use openSUSE 11.2 and as mentioned, it works fine (actually better than before, as the fold-out arrow in the system tray did not show up within my preferred desktop theme in KDE4.5). Maybe you should simply try to re-add a system tray to the taskbar. Such elements often get lost accidentally when widgets are not locked.
Edit: Sorry, I misread - you say it does work on 11.2 but not on 11.3 - still, try re-adding the system tray, might help.
Hi Gropiuskalle,
Re-adding tray was the first thing I tried, think I’ll just switch to 4.6 release for now and see if that works.
Update,
switching from KDE 4.6 factory to KDE 4.6 release cures the problem so it’s a bug somewhere in the KDE 11.3 4.6 factory repo, 11.2 4.6 factory repo is not affected.
OOps :embarrassed:
Looks like I had a hidden systray widget (2 instances of systray running) that could not be killed or seen, removing the re-adding the default panel appears to cure the issue.
