I feel PulseAudio (it makes sound skip/stutter a lot of the times in music players and adds tiny distortions) and ALSA are not good enough for my needs. I want to know if there's a way to try out OSSv4 (which people say has very good audio quality and mostly as many features like per-app mixer as Pu...

Gnome Shell has some amount of animation lag in all distros which makes using it very distracting. On Ubuntu, yesterday I found that Oibaf's PPA fixes the performance problems completely and makes it silky smooth again. https://launchpad.net/~oibaf/+archive/graphics-drivers I wondered if those packa...

Hello. ROSA might be the perfect desktop OS, one of the problems I encountered is that rpmdrake is very slow. It fetches metadata from the server everytime I click on a package. Ubuntu doesn't have this. When downloading the rpms for a package, it appears to me like it only uses single connections, ...

Really looking for Trinity DE in Rosa 2012.1 r2. How can I get it? Please help.

Hi, attached screenshot. Main issue is that the system tray applets are taking too much space and I can't find a way to force multiple rows. Also, there is one more app that is open but is not appearing in the main task list. Is there a way to make task lists scroll when at the bottom of it? Thanks.

Will it happen that we can get early access to KDE 4.11 beta releases, maybe via a meta-package in ROSA Desktop Fresh R1??

Thanks.

Hi, Flash works fine in all distros like Mint, Ubuntu, Suse with hw acceleration but not in Rosa. I suspect maybe it's nrj kernel, so I tried installing kernel-desktop-latest (without nrj in the name) but it wouldn't install because it has the nrj meta-packages as dependency. So I can't even install...

I think that lightdm (the login manager they use with Ubuntu) is much better than kdm. It blends in beautifully with the desktop wallpaper, providing a smooth transition and is also lighter and cleaner. I think ROSA should use lightdm as default.

After installing task-gnome-minimal and logging in, gnome crashes and does not start. I filed a bug report about it already. But I tried installing the full gnome metapackage, task-gnome, but it has missing dependencies Sorry, the following packages cannot be selected: - lib64gail-gnome-1.20.4-4-ros...

I need to make a backup of my system, including installed software and home data, to an installable live USB. How would I accomplish this and with what tool? I need instructions for USB, not DVD. Thanks.

Hello, In the KDE distros I've tried, when I right click the desktop and 'Create New', there are many options such as creating shortcut to applications, etc. But in my ROSA, there are only three options - 'Folder', 'Text File', 'Illustration Document', but the option to make shortcuts is missing. Is...

Which package can I install on my 64-bit ROSA to get 32-bit compatibility?

I need to patch kwin but Which srpm package is kwin/glxbackend.cpp supposed to be in? I can't find it. I did not see it in kdebase4-workspace. Anyone know which package?
This is the patch: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/107198/

I downloaded Eclipse Classic from their site, and extracted it to a folder in home. I also downloaded JRE from Oracle's website and extracted it to jre folder inside Eclipse folder and it works for me. Look up the Eclipse documentation online for the correct steps.

I have filed a bug report also. Description of problem: Desktop effects, noticeably "minimize animation", "magic lamp", "glide" (not limited to these) are jerkier and slower than they should be. This was compared to Chakra Linux with same Desktop effects settings on the open source driver radeon wit...

If I try File > Open, Inkscape hangs and has to be terminated.

Opening a svgz file in Dolphin with Inkscape 0.48 results in error

You can test this for now - common X11 driver is built and if you not worry about package like s3 or trident, update system and try configure it from XFdrake. If system will not work anymore i check for me, that legacy driver stop working and we need change string in ldetect-lst. It's not working f...

Hello, I'm testing ROSA desktop 2012.1 beta and came across a problem. My graphic chip is Radeon 4250, so fglrx-legacy should be supported since the Xorg version is 1.12.4. But the ROSA control center does not have any option for proprietary driver for "Radeon 4870 and earlier". I installed fglrx-l...

We need now wait will done updates Xorg to 13 ABI and new kernel. All will be done for Thursday and you need than install latest kernel (3.6.4) and update Xorg. P.S. I think fglrx-legacy may be some buggy and not work with any related cards. Ok. No problem. But I think we might not be able to insta...

Yep. Card need be supported by fglrx-legacy. May you try install driver from AMD site? We need investigate, where is problem. In ldetect-lst you card is properly detected: 0x1002 0x9715 "Card:ATI Radeon HD 2000 to HD 4870 (radeon/fglrx-legacy)" Ok, installing from AMD site also gives an error. fglr...

frglx-legacy must be installable. Test is not work for some reason, but you may run XFdrake from command line and see install process. BUT... You need install kernel-desktop-devel package for properly install dkms part. System is fully updated and kernel-desktop-devel is installed. After using XFdr...

Any updates on this?

akdengi: After finishing updates and rebooting, the option to use fglrx-legacy appears, and it fetches the packages but on Test it always says 'no screens found'. I tried the 'Custom' mode with default refresh rates, and also the 'Plug and Play' mode, but it only says "No screens found" when testing...

Hi. Thanks for the quick reply. I updated sources lists but Update Tool from Control Center does not show any updates as available. "The list of updates is empty. This means that either there is no available update for the packages installed on your computer, or you already installed all of them." E...

Hello, I'm using Radeon HD 4250 on AMD's 880G chipset. I cannot get desktop effects to work. I just get a message "The following desktop effects could not be started, folloewed by a list of the names of effects."
