rosa desktop fresh r1

i updated from kde 4.10.5 to kde 4.11.1

with kde 4.11.1 are supplied :
- a new monitor manager kscreen
- a kde color manager colord-kde

during update :
- the old monitor manager is not replaced by the new one
- the kde color manager is not installed

if i manualy install kscreen then the old monitor manager is not uninstalled

do you not the names of the kde packets to remove according to remove the old monitor manager ?

thanks

the old screen manager is not in a separate packet and is in kde workspace packet .

i suggest to create a new kde workspace packet not containing krandr and to automatically install kscreen

to workaround the pb you can disable the old screen manager and enable the new one

according to this doc https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/ ... es/KScreen .

it seems the old manager is well disable but the kcm is always there .

for rosa you must prefix the statements with "/usr/lib/qt4/bin/"

Yes, they are not well-tested by our QA yet so I still keep them optional. But I do plan to make them available by default soon.

Neither I know. :oops: But thanx for the hint, I'll ask other people, maybe somebody knows if it's really better than colord-kde.

opensuse 13.1 beta 1 kde 4.11.1

uses kscreen 1.0.1 by default

accurately opensuse 13.1 uses kolor-manager 1.0.1

when installing kolor-manager then this installs oyranos

color-kde seems in early stage , i assume colod-kde is the choice of kde team .

kolor-manager+oyranos seems more in advance stage : many features , well user oriented with several predefined color profiles (office , photographer , designer , prepress) , many settings

plus : oyranos supplies nvidia oriented packet , i don't know if there is a pcket for intel or amd graphic adapters
