Feedback

  • Add feedback here
  • The new Kicker Layout is better than the previously! " there are now only 3 large icons to the left of the Kicker and 2 virtual workspaces/desktops instead of 4 " it's wonderful!

  • The new logout panel(http://tinyurl.com/3ahz2m) is a downgrade compared to the egdy version for me, what was wrong with the edgy version? It was perfect IMO.

  • Yes is like the in Ubuntu (GNOME) - standart KDE loooks better - sleeping Kongi, buttons and grub's selection. --zigi

A suggestion: don't select by default the option "Show the windows of all desktop" (in KDE panel configuration/ Application bar).

  • I partly second that notion. The new layout definitely rocks (can create those small buttons in Edgy?), two desktops are not enough for me, but adding more is easily done. So if it helps new user to become accommodated to this feature, it's all right. But I think that "Show the windows of all desktops"is a must, otherwise new users will have to search for their windows and we don't want that.
  • Those small buttons are also available in edgy, it's a KDE feature, just right-click the kicker and choose the first point of the menu, where you add little "widgets", add the one with the rocket (I'm sorry for this imprecise description, but my system is German and I don't know the English original) --ThomasRitter

KMail/KNetworkManager integration is absolutely great and may just be the reason for me to switch from Thunderbird. Apart from that, I eagerly await the new theme. --Sokraates

  • Is the "log out" icon final in the new shutdown dialog? It's a little "pixeled". I miss the sleeping Konqi a bit, but the fade effects are great! Smile :) --ToniHelenius

  • the log out button doesn't react to hibernation. It is, however, possible to hibernate with the system tray icon. katakombi Feb, 16th 2007
  • In the "Konqueror Flash Plugin Installer", PLEASE add a "don't ask me again" check box. Some of us don't want to install flash (because it is not free, or just because it makes the internet an annoying place to be in). It doesn't help that on every flash infected site, this dialog will pop up.
    • Temporary option (if You don't need other plugins) is to just disable external plugins in Konqueror. Java and KMplayer will still work, though Smile :)

  • (K)ubuntu should automagically switch to any external sound card, when connected and revert back to the internal one, when the external (usb/firewire) device is plugged out. Below are the lines i've added to my /etc/udev/rules.d/85-alsa.rules for C-Media USB 7.1 channel card:
    • # Default to using additional (USB) sound cards when they are available.

      KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#pcmC}; K=$${K%%D*}; echo defaults.ctl.card $$K > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card $$K >>/etc/asound.conf'" KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="remove", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'echo defaults.ctl.card 0 > /etc/asound.conf; echo defaults.pcm.card 0 >>/etc/asound.conf'" KERNEL=="pcmC[D0-9cp]*", ACTION=="add", PROGRAM="/bin/sh -c 'K=%k; K=$${K#pcmC}; K=$${K%%D*}; amixer -q -c $$K set Speaker,1 95%% on'"

  • If KnetworkManager is the default now, and it does not support static IP, what should roamer users use when a static IP is needed?
