I’m getting reports that Lancelot has a black border on some
distributions - like in this picture: http://imagebin.ca/view/h1oGpJ.html.
If you have this problem, please file a bug report for the
distribution you’re using. I’ve already sent a mail [1] to kde-packager
mailing list, but it looks like some distributions’ packagers don’t
really follow that list.
I don’t get why the kdeplasma-addons is compiled on a separate system
(or virtual machine) compared to libplasma and plasma and with a
different set of installed libraries.
[1] Hi all,
It have come to my attention that in
some distributions (no need to specify
which) Lancelot is compiled without the
support for compositing while the
plasma is composite-enabled.
While compiling Lancelot, you should
ensure the presence of libXcomposite,
libXrender and libXdamage development files.
Cheers and thanks in advance,
Ivan
Just a note - if you get larger than normal CPU usage when using
Kopete and Lancelot at the same time in KDE 4.3, visit the BUG:196809
This should be fixed in 4.3.1. In the meanwhile you can disable the
Kopete integration by doing the following:
open lancelotrc file (~/.kde/share/config/lancelotrc) with your
favourite text editor and add the following line to the [Main]
section
imPlugins=disabled
I know you’re not used to wallpaper-related posts from me, but I too
have to express myself artistically sometimes. Unlike when I’m
expressing my musical talents, that you’re not able to benefit from,
when I decide to make some /visual/ art, you are.
I’ve received a couple of requests to post the wallpaper seen in the
Lancelot 1.7
screencast, and I decided to comply.
I’ve realized that the one and only screencast of Lancelot I made was
even before the 1.0 was released. So, I’ve decided to make a new one.
This cast is meant as an introduction to Lancelot, rather than to show
the new features.
Unfortunately the recordmydesktop somehow blocked drag and drop, so
the Parts applet couldn’t really be demonstrated.
So, here it is:
35MB OGV file (full resolution): http://www.sendspace.com/file/1aih65
(I have no idea for how long the file will be available on the
server)
And the obligatory YouTube* entry (I suggest watching the HD
version):

- For some strange reason, I wasn’t able to upload the video to
Vimeo…
