Hello,
There is Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 on a PC and it has been upgraded to the latest apt packages. Thunderbird 2 was installed from apt packages. A gmail account was setup but it fails to authenticate the password and returns a normal wrong password error. After wasting a lot of time rechecking and suspecting the keyboard, I setup the account in Kmail and it worked fine. So there appears to be a bug in that Thunderbird package.
I would also like to add that KDE4 does not allow editing of its menus and Kmail's icon which was missing from the 'Internet' sub-menu, could not be added manually. Some people on the net appear to have similar problems. Even creating a new application shortcut on the desktop as well as task bar is not possible with a right click as that option itself is missing. KDE4 is still a little 'nangu'.

Please state the version of KDE and don't say "KDE4". There is big difference between KDE4 and KDE 4.0/4.0.4/4.1/4.1.1. "KDE4" means something different. You will find enough documents on the internet about this. Do read about it.

Have you checked if this is a downstream problem and not an upstream one? And have you filed a bug on Launchpad / kde bugzilla?

Oh you missed the whole "folder view" discussion that happened. Its not possible "by design". Read about Plasma and Folder View. And also the "Desktop is not a Folder" school of thought across the interweb.

Kmail has an icon in the openSUSE 11 Live CD-based installation I use. So, could be a Kubuntu bug.

To add to the discussion on Folder View, I find it a very nifty feature. For some of us, who are less organised and whose desktops get filled with a whole pile of documents, and other stuff, over a period of time, Folder View makes it all look a lot less messy.

There is a command keditmenu or kmenuedit or something similar but on the net the guys said it opens the editor for the older KDE and the one for the newer one is yet to be done. I had checked out google from that place to see if any solution was available but it appears to be under development.

There may be a theory behind it but some pointers should be available in the interface itself so that a normally experienced KDE user can find his way around without google. Anyway I will look it up.

Yeah so? I don't use Kubuntu so I don't know what is latest in Kubuntu repos.
So you need to state the version which causes you the problem, thats a common thing required for bugs. You *need* to state the version number so that developers can narrow down the issue. A version tracker generally has a version component ( and downstream/upstream component )
Anyway, I am not sure if you understood main point. KDE4 is *not* a version. KDE 4.0/4.1/4.1.1 and so on are versions of KDE. KDE4 is an ongoing "journey".
What is an upstream or downstream problem? I just install GNU/Linux and
Ok, so it works this way .... FOSS projects ( KDE ) write software. Distros ( Kubuntu ) take those software and make changes sometimes to those software and release them. What you see in Kubuntu is *not* pristine KDE sources. They are moderately to heavily patched at times.
So KDE is upstream. A distro - kubuntu - is downstream. In an ideal world, downstream people should send bugfixes and patches back to upstream and keep the diff small. Some distros follow that well - example - Fedora. Some don't, unfortunately.
Now the bug you faced, might be a downstream problem - a kubuntu specific problem, which has nothing to do with KDE. Since you don't build KDE from sources, you can't be sure that its an upstream problem. Guess what, in KDE bug tracker, you state which version of KDE you are using and the origin of sources/build.
use KDE. Found the problem just yesterday at someone's place.
Which distro? Which version of distro? Which version of KDE.
Cheers!

Also that Kubuntu comes in two flavours by itself, Kubuntu with KDE 3.5.x and Kubuntu with KDE4. And the latest piping hot stuff out there is Kubuntu Intrepid/8.10 which is in alpha4 or alpha5 if am not wrong and hence can be expected to have bugs, which indeed needs to be reported and fixed.

If you experience any problem with a software that is provided by your distribution from its repositories, you need to file a bug in the distribution's bug tracker, launchpad in the case of Kubuntu, against the correct version of the software that is giving you the problem. Unless you are dealing with something got directly from the upstream project sources, you need not go to the upstream bug tracker. If your problem indeed is something from the upstream code, then the downstream will make sure that the same gets reported in the upstream bug tracker as well.

As Pradeepto already said, there is nothing like KDE4, it is KDE 4.x.x

I know that and I have both the CDs.

Kubuntu 8.04's default Hardy repos may not be upgrading the OS to this alpha version.

I wonder why any suggestion of a bug in kde gets such a hostile reception on this list? If somebody asks about a bug, either solve the problem, or point him to the solution, or try to replicate the problem, and if you can, file a bug - dont tell *him* to file a bug.

The best person to report bug is the person who experiences it; and can run the likes of reportbug to gather system and environment data to support the report. and perhaps can be available for clarification and testing of solutions. Hearsay bugs are often not as useful; details go missing, and one never knows what the environment was like that triggered the bug.
So, if one can't repreoduce the bug, it is not unreasonable to ask the person experiencing the issue to report it.
And no, I don't cater to the "worship the user" mindset.

I would recommend following bug filing procedure. That should avoid any unnecessary flames. :)
1. You find an issue with a software 2. You post on LUG(s) describing your issue with software version, distribution version etc and ask on the list if anybody faces the same issue with same software 3. Someone using the same software confirm the issue. 4. Same version of software has issues on multiple distributions. 5. Original/confirmer files a bug report to upstream 6. Original reported issue is specific to a distribution and original poster files bug report downstream (with distributor)
If other listers can not either confirm or deny the issue, please refrain from posting. :)
With Regards,
Parthan "technofreak"

Exactly, but with a minor additions,
3.a Either the original reporter checks the distribution's bug tracker for something similar to his issue. If he finds one, he check it out what is it's status. Might also mail the list that he found a similar bug so people can also check it out. OR someone volunteers to check the bug tracker and helps the original reporter in finding whether a bug has been already reported. 3.b If a bug is found, whoever can reproduce the bug can go confirm or/add more information to the bug. Else, whoever can reproduce the bug can help the original reporter in filing a new bug and confirming it. 4.a If the problem exists with same or later version of the software with multiple distributions, then check upstream bugs and file one if required. Additionally you can file one in your distribution as well, and link the upstream bug to this. (This helps in a fix being found in downstream and moving upstream). If problem is only with the software in a particular distribution, then file in the distribution's bug tracker for that software+version.

I have not asked anyone to file bugs on my behalf.
The issue here has two parts. First, whether a bug report is filed or not, there is no restriction whatsoever on discussing the problem on this list. If there is one then may the list admin please specify what cannot be discussed about GNU/Linux.
Second, as long as list rules are adhered to, no member has the right to be mean towards other members or dictate terms even if he happens to be a Debian contributor. The freedom of posting messages related to GNU/Linux or its components is available to every member equally. Nobody wears a crown.
If we start pushing messages out of this list on the basis of their related package websites then there is no need for a GNU/Linux user's list at all. GNU/Linux is a modular system full of diverse packages and every package has its own forum and website. Since every problem is to be discussed on the relative website, what is the purpose of this list? I like to give feedback to the public so that they don't have to go through the same pain and sweat and are better prepared to handle problems that may crop up.

If you discuss problem here again and again, no solution will be find and we will waste our bandwidth. The best and correct method is to file a bug to relevant distribution and/or upstream.

Which problem was discussed again and again. How many threads? What may be a waste of bandwidth for you may be useful information for someone else. As this is a public list, all threads may not have information to our liking.

Atleast the missing KMail is definitely a Kubuntu issue, I have KDE 4.0.4 on OpenSUSE which doesn't have this problem, KDE 4.1 on Arch Linux which doesn't have this problem, either.
