Created attachment 52043 [details] Screenshot of the Battery Monitor showing only 4 out of 5 profiles Version: unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) OS: Linux I have 5 power profiles: Powersave, Performance, Aggresive Powersave, Xtreme Powersave and Presentation When I open the Battery Monitor I only get the first 4 to choose from. I can still use the Presentation mode using the arrow keys of my keyboard. The attached screenshot shows the Battery Monitor showing only 4 out of 5 profiles. Reproducible: Always
Make sure you compile KDE against the same version of Qt that you have installed. For example, when you use a KDE compiled against Qt 4.6, but you install Qt 4.7 later, you have to recompile KDE, as otherwise this error shows up. It is actually a Qt bug that we work around depending on the detected Qt version, but it has been decided to make this a compile-time check only.
I'm using the provided packages of Archlinux. The version of qt is 4.6.3. If I check the used version for KDE I get: $ kde4-config --version Qt: 4.6.3 KDE Development Platform: 4.5.1 (KDE 4.5.1) kde4-config: 1.0 So this looks alright, doesn't it? Also, I've already had this problem for a long time. Although I just recently found out that the presentation mode is not gone but only hidden by this bug.
Could you add a 6th profile and check if now a scroll bar appears?
Additionally, is there a way to find out which exact svn revision you are using? 4.5.1 got retagged after a few blocker problems got fixed. The official 4.5.1 tag is r1170240. If in doubt, ask the packagers of your distribution, or wait for the 4.5.2 release. In the meantime I will check if the Qt bug fix got backported to 4.6.3, in that case we have to adjust the version check.
Nope, it has not, the Qt bug fix is in version 4.7.0 only, so our check is good. Need the information from comment #3 and comment #4 to proceed.
Adding a 6th (or even 7th) profile doesn't help. There is still no scrollbar. I'm not aware of a way to find the exact svn revision. The build date is Mon Aug 30 15:13:20 2010, one day before the release was announced on kde.org. But as I mentioned before, I've had this problem prior using 4.5.1. For sure with 4.4 and possibly also with 4.3.
If there is no scroll bar with more than 5 profiles, you definitely have a pre-r1170240 KDE. The duplicate bug is set to "resolved in 4.5.2" because the fix was committed between retagging. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 219873 ***
Sorry for submitting the duplicate bug report, I didn't check the resolved bugs. And thanks for your fast processing. :)
