nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith
I currently use t-bird with an nntp account pointing to gmane to read
this list and sereral others. Does kde have an nntp client program of
any sort? I don't see it as a possible new account type in kmail. Also,
search with kpackagekit yields nothing with "usenet" or "nntp" that is
kde specific.

printer config permission problems
by Neal Becker
Nice applet for system settings/printer configuration. But don't try to change
any settings, because it doesn't ask for root permission. All it does is say:
"There was an error during CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden'
This is kdebase-4.6.0-0.1.fc14.x86_64

What is virtuoso-t doing and why?
by Marko Vojinovic
I am seeing the following problem appearing on random occasions during regular
usage of my regular updated KDE/F14/64bit system.
The desktop becomes extremely slow and unresponsive, out of the blue. It lasts
for about a minute or two, and then reverts to normal. If i happen to have a
terminal open when it happens, I can see in top that usage of both CPUs goes
to 100%. However, it's not because some process is using them, but because
both CPUs are wasting cycles in "wait" state for I/O.
Then if I manage to start iotop to see what is sucking all disk I/O, I see
that 99.99% of I/O is being used by something like
virtuoso-t +foreground +configfile /tmp/virtuoso_Lh1825.ini +wait
Would someone explain what is this, why is it running on random, what triggers
it, and --- most importantly --- why is it configured by default to suck all
life out of my system during its (presumably normal) operation?
yum info virtuoso-opensource says:
Summary : A high-performance object-relational SQL database
Description : Virtuoso is a scalable cross-platform server that combines
SQL/RDF/XML Data Management with Web Application Server and Web Services
Platform functionality.
This suggests that it is some kind of database used by KDE (or something
else?), so I can understand that it can be resource-hungry. However, I don't
understand what is its purpose on my system?
If I try to yum remove it, it wants to remove most of the OS istallation,
including kdebase, so I guess it is something very required by KDE.
I would be very thankful if someone explains what this is and how to make it
do its work only when the system is idle enough (say, when the screensaver has
been active for half an hour, or something like that), and not in the middle
of my regular work.
TIA, :-)

Google Chrome keeps popping up KDE Wallet dialogue
by Patrick O'Callaghan
When opening a new page, the latest Google Chrome (10.0.648.82 beta,
F14) frequently pops up a KDE Wallet dialogue asking for a keyring
password. This seems unrelated to whether the page itself wants a
password.
No previous version of Chrome did this, in fact I'm surprised Chrome has
any interaction with KDE at all.
Has anyone seen this? I'm asking here before reporting to BZ.

kdepim-4.4.x for f15
by Rex Dieter
Per our team meeting this week and after consulting upstream, the kde-sig
decided kdepim-4.6 isn't ready yet and and to roll back to kdepim-4.4.x for
fedora 15 (and ideally squeeze this in for the upcoming alpha release).
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F15/FEDORA-2011-1283
We'll continue to provide kdepim-4.6 in rawhide (targetting f16 now) and
unofficial test builds in kde-unstable repo for further testing and
feedback.

File attributes puzzle
by Anne Wilson
I have a small text file that I want to ensure cannot be accidentally deleted,
so I ran
chattr -i /home/anne/WebPages/UserBase/filename.txt
(as root, of course). Running lsattr against the same file produced
-------------e- /home/anne/WebPages/UserBase/filename.txt
'i' doesn't show in ls -l filename, either. I haven't come across 'e' before.
What is it, and is my file immutable or not?

Kernel error messages
by Anne Wilson
On this laptop there are many instances of messages like this:
[ 2.699064] ACPI Error (psargs-0359): [ ...: 1 Time(s)
[ 2.699069] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): ...: 1 Time(s)
Is this something I must simply ignore, or is there anything that can be done
about it?

Konq text preview - readonly switch?
by John Pilkington
I often view text files with the Konqueror 'preview in embedded advanced
text editor'. Under f13 I find this is readwrite, under Centos 5 it's
readonly. I've googled this several times, and hunted in the toolbars,
but I haven't found an easy way to toggle in either. What am I missing?
TIA
