nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

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. -gene

Nepomuk/Strigi issue(?): files re-indexed after reboot
by Steven P. Ulrick 19 Apr '10

19 Apr '10

Hello Everyone I apologize if this has already been covered. If it has, I haven't seen it. My issue is that I rebooted my Fedora 12 system recently. Nepomuk started up just like it is supposed to. Unfortunately, the Nepomuk status window said that something like 6,000 to 7,000 files had been indexed. I checked my music collection, and sure enough, the mp3's that I checked were not showing metadata in the expected location in Dolphin. So, it looks like for some reason, Nepomuk started re-indexing my files. That was the bad part. This is a kind of odd part: before I had over 25,000 files indexed, and the size of my Nepomuk Store was 3.2 GiB. So, I rebooted, Nepomuk started re-indexing my files, BUT the Store size was still 3.2 GiB. So I "assume" that my database had not been destroyed, but Nepomuk just started re-indexing my files for some reason... Also, like I said earlier, the metadata that had been displayed in Dolphin before I rebooted was gone after I booted back up. But, my Store size was still the same... Anyway, has anyone else had this issue? I will attempt to look for bug reports to attach my comments to. If I don't find any, please let me know the exact component to file this particular issue under. Steven P. Ulrick

In F13 X hogs the cpu?
by Martin Kho 02 Apr '10

02 Apr '10

Hi, I'm running F13 KDE nightly build (20100328) in VirtualBox and experience high cpu usage. top shows that X is the 'culprit'. Jaroslav Franek opened a report [1] for this issue. The issue looks very the same as stated in report [2]. Does anyone else have seen X using lots of cpu sources in F13? Thanks, Martin Kho [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577482 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=475890

do you miss amarok-1.4?
by Orcan Ogetbil 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi all, For those of you who miss amarok-1.4 and keeps getting disappointed with every amarok-2 version, now there is a qt4 port of amarok-1.4. It is called clementine: http://code.google.com/p/clementine-player/ Upstream provides Fedora rpm's. You might want to check it out, it is really nice. However it is not straightforward to package clementine. It bundles some libraries which are not available in Fedora. In particular there is qxt and qtsingleapplication we need to package. I submitted a review request for the former one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=577601 I won't have much time until summer for packaging, so it might take a while until clementine gets packaged, unless of course you want to help with packaging/comaintaining etc. Cheers, Orcan

Switching folders in KMail takes a while?
by Martin Kho 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Hi, When I for the first time switch in KMail from one folder to another it takes a few seconds before the content is shown. Switching again to another folder doesn't have this delay. In .xsession-errors I get: [akonadiserver] Error during executing query "SELECT PimItemTable.id, PimItemTable.rev, PimItemTable.remoteId, MimeTypeTable.name, ResourceTable.name, PimItemTable.size, PimItemTable.datetime, PimItemTable.collectionId FROM PimItemTable, MimeTypeTable, CollectionTable, ResourceTable WHERE ( PimItemTable.mimeTypeId = MimeTypeTable.id AND PimItemTable.collectionId = CollectionTable.id AND CollectionTable.resourceId = ResourceTable.id AND ( PimItemTable.id = :0 ) ) ORDER BY PimItemTable.id ASC" : "MySQL server has gone away QMYSQL: Unable to execute query" This happens on a full updated F12 system (kde 4.4.1, KMail: 1.13.1). Any one else have seen this behaviour? Martin Kho

Weather app
by Temlakos 29 Mar '10

29 Mar '10

Does KDE have any sort of app that provides a detailed twenty-four-hour forecast and radar weather map, as the Gnome weather app does? From the KDE weather app (which I have to switch to an empty desktop in order to view), I can get the current temperature and conditions, and a six-day forecast. But what I can't get is a today-tonight-tomorrow forecast, or any sort of weather map. What am I missing? Temlakos

[SOLVED] errors during akonadi start
by Maurizio Marini 28 Mar '10

28 Mar '10

I would notify to other "peones" that like me are struggling to get akonadi working with nepomukserver, I have not any error messages when akonadi starts, i have changed into ~/.kde/share/config/nepomukserverrc Used Soprano Backend=redland with: Used Soprano Backend=virtuosobackend i think that this change was missed by automatic scripts migration to kde 4.4 m.

koffice-2.1.81 (2.2 beta1) in kde-unstable, please test
by Rex Dieter 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

We now have koffice-2.1.81 in the f12 kde-unstable repo. We're toying with the idea of including this in f13 (beta), but only if it proves itself to be fairly usable and stable. So, interested parties, please try it out, and provide feedback of what you think. I'll try to whip up a basic test plan on the wiki soonish (help here would be appreciated too). -- Rex

continued nepomuk, kaddressbook discussions, unanswered questions

KAddressBook
by John Aldrich 26 Mar '10

26 Mar '10

Is there ANY way to get KMail / KDEPIM to read KAddress Book? If not, how the heck are we supposed to create new address entries for KMail? I've followed the how-to in http://userbase.kde.org/Akonadi_and_AddressBook and I have everything set up as indicated there, but whenever I create a new entry in KAddress book, it never shows up in KMail when trying to browse for an address. What are we supposed to do, go through each and every entry in our KAddress Book and export them to VCF files and move them into the new directory so that KDEPIM can magically find them? Who's brilliant idea was it to release a half-baked app anyway?

Dolphin panel get squeezed
by Armelius Cameron 25 Mar '10

25 Mar '10

Hello, This may be nitpicking but I am wondering if anyone else sees this. I have 2 panels in dolphin: Places and Folders. They are stacked on the left side of Dolphin. Every time I open Dolphin, those panels are always squeezed to their minimum. I have to always drag the 'divider' to expand it. But Dolphin cannot seem to remember this, no matter what I do. So for every Dolphin instance I have to always drag the thing to make the panel usable. I don't remember it to be this way before. Any idea ? Thanks --AC

Constant reboot
by Anne Wilson 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Since I ended up with a large number of zombie processes for chromium-browser I decided to shut down the laptop completely, to get a clean, cold boot. There I came unstuck. This is F12, fully updated. The bubble fills up, I see the Fedora logo, then it reboots. I could try to catch it and get a level 3 login, of course, but since I haven't a clue what's causing this, I wouldn't know what to do next. Any ideas? Anne

akonadi has problems to start
by Martin (KDE) 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Hallo all with the 4.4.0 kde release I got my akonadi up and running. The 4.4.1 update brought me some minor problems with my fully updated F12 system. After a fresh login I lost my address book. So I stopped akonadi, exited kontact, removed .local/share/akonadi folder and restarted akonadi. It created all the needed files, started up and I got my address book back. After the next login I got an akonadi error message which stated that the data from my traditional imap-address book could not be read. Additionally I got the error in my akonadi log: [ERROR] Can't open and lock privilege tables: Table 'mysql.servers' doesn't exist I have to run the command: mysql_install_db --datadir=$HOME/.local/share/akonadi/db_data/ To get the server running without an error. I don't know what was going wrong here, but automatic creation seems to fail on my host. And I still have one warning that the protocol version can not be checked without a connection to the server. I don't know which server (nepomuk or akonadi) but both are running. And what I don't get: Why do they need so many (different) database servers? Nepomuk (virtuoso), Amarok (MySQL), Akonadi (MySQL) ... I think it is time to get a general KDE Database path with a configuration dialog and an "make it work again" option. Martin PS: MySQL version gives: mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.44, for redhat- linux-gnu (i386) using readline 5.1

Where is chromium's profile?
by Anne Wilson 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

Does anyone know where chromium stores your profile? After a bad crash I lost all my tabs, and every time I start it now it says that it can't read my profile. It tells me to check that it exists and that I have rw access to it - but so far I haven't found it. Anne -- KDE Community Working Group New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Mount options for removable volumes
by Patrick O'Callaghan 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

I want to modify the default mount options for pendrives (in this case to add "noatime"). Since mounting is done via the Device Notifier, that would seem to be the place to start. I've looked under System Settings/Advanced/Device Actions but I don't see any obvious way to make the change. There doesn't seem to be anything under /etc/udev either, or in /etc/fstab. Where is this stuff set up? poc

Some changes with 4.4.0
by Orion Poplawski 22 Mar '10

22 Mar '10

This is a bit of a followup to discussion on fedora-devel. Here are some changes with 4.4.0 for one of my users that happened today: - Background went completely white - previously was the blue/grey background. This is just one of those annoying things that seem to happen fairly frequently with KDE updates. Doesn't take a whole lot of time to fix, but is still annoying. - Panel is partially black with very hard to read transparent icons on it. See attached. Several users have gotten this. I seem to remember a bug on this, but can't find it now. Intel video (82G33/G31). This is pretty tough to live with. -- Orion Poplawski Technical Manager 303-415-9701 x222 NWRA/CoRA Division FAX: 303-415-9702 3380 Mitchell Lane orion(a)cora.nwra.com Boulder, CO 80301 http://www.cora.nwra.com
