window sharing stopped working
by Neal Becker
With recent updates on F40 on kde+wayland I cannot share a window in a
meeting anymore. When this option is selected a black window is shown in
the preview and to the other side of the conversation. Fortunately,
sharing the entire screen still works.

Notifications - fails to hide when no unread notifications
by John Horne
Hello,
Using plasma6/wayland I recently upgraded from Fedora 39 to Fedora 40. No
problems with that, however I have noticed that when a notification occurs a
pop appears (as it should), if I then clear/close the notification the popup
window remains saying "No unread notifications".
The issue is that the popup remains unless I click on something (e.g konsole),
it then hides itself. I am fairly sure that under F39 and before, if there were
no unread notifications then the popup itself would automatically hide itself
(after the relevant time). The hide popup configuration setting is set to 5
seconds.
So, do others see this too? Am I right that the popup used to automatically
hide itself (after 5 seconds in my case) if there were no unread notifications?
I have tried to find if this has already been reported, and it doesn't seem to
have been, so before doing so I just want to make sure that it is something
that has changed.
Thanks,
John.

Default keyboard layout
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I use two kb layouts, UK and UK+International (for accents etc.). Up to
F39 the default layout on login has always been the former, but now
it's the latter, meaning I often have to edit text when I notice, and I
sometimes don't notice.
Where can I set the default layout?

Assistance with SSH Key Integration with KDE Wallet
by Lukas Ruzicka
Dear Fedora KDE team,
I am reaching out for assistance with an issue I'm encountering regarding
the storage of SSH key passwords in the KDE Wallet. I have set up my
environment to prompt for my SSH key password using a graphical dialog, but
I am facing difficulties with having the password stored or reused by KDE
Wallet.
1.
*Configuration Details*: I have configured my system by setting the
SSH_ASKPASS and SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE environment variables in
~/.config/environment.d/ssh_askpass.conf with the following contents
SSH_ASKPASS=/usr/bin/ksshaskpass
SSH_ASKPASS_REQUIRE=prefer
This setup successfully triggers a dialog box asking for my SSH key
password.
2.
*Issue*: Although the dialog appears and allows me to enter my password,
it does not store the password in the KDE Wallet, nor does it seem to
retrieve or use any stored passwords from there.
3.
*Current Workaround*: Currently, the only method that results in the
desired behavior is by exporting these variables directly in a terminal
session, which is not ideal for system-wide or automated use.
4.
*Question*: Could you provide guidance on how this integration is
supposed to function? Specifically, I am looking to understand the correct
setup to ensure that SSH passwords are both stored in and retrieved from
the KDE Wallet seamlessly.
I appreciate any documentation, tips, or personal experiences you could
share regarding this matter. Thank you very much for your support and for
the contributions you make to the Fedora KDE community.
Best regards,

set a new screen resolution mode with Fedora 40 / Plasma 6 ?
by Sbob
Hi all;
I have just installed Fedora 40, on F39 I could use xrandr and set a
'new mode' something like 2048x1152'
but kscreen-doctor does not seem to have this capability, I can set a
mode that the screen already reports but cannot see a way to create a
new one.
Anyone know how to add a new mode with wayland / Plasma 6?
Thanks in advance

I've noticed error messages in the journal related to Akonadi. I don't
really use any of the dependent apps such as Kmail etc. but I know some
Plasma widgets use it, so I decided to check:

what to do about it.
