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.

qt-4.8/kde-4.10 (hopefully) for rhel6 coming soon
by Rex Dieter
folks have repeatedly asked about newer/featureful kde builds for rhel6
over the years, and I've put off mostly due to lack of interest and
time... until yesterday.
Making some good progress, so our mostly empty rhel6 kde-testing repo
should see some significant content showing up over the next week or so.
Warning: It'll be rough initially, we're at the "it builds! ship
it..." stages, so copious testing and feedback would be greatly appreciated.
My strategy so far is to minimize upgrading core el6 packages as much as
reasonably possible. We'll see how far that takes us.

why loads KDE any locale at startup?
by Reindl Harald
in combination with preload and systemd-readahead
i realized that KDE loads ANY desktop file at startup
which is most likely the reason loading the desktop takes
way too long on recent hardware
i guess this is a miss-design upstream, however maybe
someone with more kde-knowledge than me is interested
to optimize these things
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-readahead analyze | grep locale | wc -l
434
___________________________
these are all useless on a german desktop and would they have not been loaded
due login systemd-readahead would not list them
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-readahead analyze | grep locale | grep -v /de/ | grep /l10n/ | wc -l
217
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-readahead analyze | grep locale | grep -v /de/ | grep /l10n/

Use ICC color profile for 1 display
by Ian Pilcher
The display calibration of my new laptop (ThinkPad T430s) is terrible.
I was able to find a color profile (ICC file) for this display on the
Interwebs, but I haven't been able to figure out how to actually use it
in KDE.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!

okular printing problems
by Chris Rouch
Whenever I print from okular, the print succeeds and then I see a dialog
from the plasma desktop shell asking "Enter an username and password to
complete the task" (sic). The usename supplied is root, and if i give the
root password the dialog disappears. If I give my own username (the one i
used for printing), the dialog comes back with root as default.
This happens every time I use okular. How do I stop it?
And it seems only to be okular - if i use lpr from konsole, or even the
print screen menu in konsile this doesn't happen.
Regards,
Chris

qtwebkit-2.3.0-1.fc17.i686 makes Skype segfault
by Laurent Rineau
Hi,
I know that Skype is a proprietary software, but I want to let you know that
qtwebkit-2.3.0-1.fc17.i686 from kde-unstable (Fedora 17) makes Skype segfault
at startup.
The setup that works is the following:
renoir ~ $ rpm -q skype qtwebkit.i686
skype-4.1.0.20-fc16.i586
qtwebkit-2.2.2-5.fc17.i686
If I upgrade using kde-unstable, then Skype segfaults.

KDM: run xrandr *before* kdm_greet
by Ian Pilcher
My new laptop has the ability to support up to 3 concurrent displays. I
have found that this is actually a problem when I try to use it in my
home office, where the (closed) laptop is placed into a docking station
that is connected to two external displays.
The default X behavior is to use both external displays *and* the built-
in display. Of course, the KDM login fields end up on the invisible
built-in display.
I can't use a static X configuration to work around this problem,
because there are plenty of times that I'll want to use the built-in
display. I need to do this:
if /usr/bin/grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/LID/state; then
NUM_DISPLAYS=`/usr/bin/grep ^connected$
/sys/class/drm/card0-*/status | /usr/bin/wc -l`
[ $NUM_DISPLAYS -gt 1 ] && /usr/bin/xrandr --output LVDS1 --off
fi
(This disables the built-in display when the laptop is closed *and*
there is at least one external display connected.)
In theory I should be able to add this to /etc/kde/kdm/Xsetup, but it
seems that kdm_greet is already running when this script is executed, so
the theme geometry gets all messed up. (My external displays do not
have the same resolution as the built-in display.)
For now, I've replaced /usr/libexec/kde4/kdm_greet with a wrapper script
that does the xrandr stuff and then runs the actual program. This is
obviously fragile, however.
Can anyone think of a better way to do this?
Thanks!
