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

printer config permission problems
by Neal Becker 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

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 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

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, :-) Marko

Google Chrome keeps popping up KDE Wallet dialogue
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

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. poc

kdepim-4.4.x for f15
by Rex Dieter 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

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. -- Rex

File attributes puzzle
by Anne Wilson 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

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? Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Konq text preview - readonly switch?
by John Pilkington 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

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 John P

As far as I could see, after downloading about 400MB, it started creating literally thousands of links to this file, and then my server choked, and when I stopped it by pressing the power button, and re-started it the machine was in a confused state, and took a while to clean up. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

How to get Color icons to replace the new Monochrome ones...
by Steven P. Ulrick 26 Mar '11

26 Mar '11

Hello Everyone, I had this problem back on Fedora 13 and I found out how to fix it. BUT, I did a fresh install of Fedora 14, and I discovered that I never documented the way that I fixed it. If this is the wrong list for this, please let me know... I am running KDE SC 4.6.1 (from the kde-testing repo) and I really do not like the monochromatic icons that now seem to be the default in the System Tray. My question is, Where do I get the color versions of the new monochromatic icons, and where exactly do I copy them to? Also, is there a location in my home directory that I could copy them to so that they would not be wiped out every time the offending (my opinion) icons are updated? I think that would be something like "~/.kde/share/apps/desktoptheme/default/icons/" Your help is greatly appreciated. Steven P. Ulrick

Start KDE with different config directory
by Armelius Cameron 25 Mar '11

25 Mar '11

Hello, Is it possible for KDE to use different config directory other than ~/.kde ? Let's say I have different computers or test machines that not necessary runs the same KDE version (e.g different Fedora releases), or just want different KDE setup on those machines. I want all the machine to mount the same home directory from NFS server so that I have access to all my files, but I want the different machines to use different KDE config directory: e.g. ~/.kde_machine1, ~/.kde_machine2, etc. If this is possible, how do I do it ? Thanks. AC

konqueror tabbedbrowsing profile defaults
by Rex Dieter 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

I was looking to add some polish to some default settings, and ran across 2 custom konqueror profiles: webbrowsing tabbedbrowsing the former used www.fedoraproject.org I'm going to fix this to point to start.fedoraproject.org instead For the latter, it currently opens tabs for: fedoraproject.org planet.fedoraproject.org forums.fedoraforums.org redhat.com My feeling wrt tabbedbrowsing is that we should limit the number of tabs, to say, 5 or less (more feels too heavy). Suggestions I've heard so far: drop fp.o add spins.fedoraproject.org/kde add fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE (though some cleanup and/or redesign is in order if we're serious about adding this to attract to new contributors) Thoughts? -- Rex

Something wrong with the KDE wireless interface?
by Marko Vojinovic 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Since a couple of updates and weeks ago (F14, don't remember exactly when, sorry) the KDE wireless applet stopped doing its work. When I click on it and choose to connect to my wireless router, it asks for a passphrase (WPA), and then hangs in "waiting for authorization" state forever, without connecting. After some troubleshooting, I figured I can use the nm-applet from Gnome, after I disable a couple of services in the KDE service manager (namely, the "NetworkManager User Setting Service" and "Network Status"). If I don't disable them, nm-applet fails to run, saying another instance is already running (which is wrong, btw). I suspect one of these services are simulating the presence of nm-applet to prevent it from running concurrently. Anyway, when the services are disabled, nm-applet is running and connects to my router without any problems. The issue is that this is a workaround, and that default KDE configuration used to work flawlessly until some point. I also tried to connect to other wireless networks (open, wep, wpa...) to check if it's something related to my router, but the symptoms are the same everywhere. Is this a known issue? Am I the only one seeing it? How can I troubleshoot it? I was monitoring /var/log/messages while trying to connect, but nothing there points to the problem, AFAICT. Btw, when nm-applet is running, the KDE applet in the taskbar correctly reports the state of the wireless interface, and appears to coexist nicely with nm-applet. From what I understand, the NetworkManager service is running correctly, nm- applet is also running correctly, but something within KDE went to lunch... Any ideas? TIA, :-) Marko

Activity woes: Help!
by Peter G. 23 Mar '11

I am experimenting with the Search & Launch activity. I hate the cashew in the upper left corner and have installed the plasma cashew widget, but I am unable to remove the Tool Box from the Search & Launch desktop. It is covered by a thin film of the favourites, I presume, and the widget is unable to perform it's magic on this desktop layout. Anyone know how I can get rid if the cashew/activity tool box?

google chrome under kde
by Roderick Johnstone 22 Mar '11

22 Mar '11

Hi I wonder if anyone has tried google-chrome (from the google repositories) dev channel under kde 4.5.5 and whether it works ok for them? I'm having problems with it hanging a lot on F14 x86_64, but not every time. When I start it, sometimes it just doesnt render some web pages. Often if its trying to restore half a dozen tabs it'll do a couple but hang on the rest. Eventually they timeout. The beta channel seems to work fine. The dev channel works well under gnome, it seems to be kde its having problems with. I had an idea that this behaviour started after they set the default to enable accelerated layers, but the obvious trick of using the --disable-accelerated-layers option doesnt seem to fix it. Anyone any info or ideas? Thanks Roderick

Akregator consumes too much CPU
by Gombang Nan Cengka 17 Mar '11

17 Mar '11

Any suggestions? Top shows Akregator hogs about 70-90 percent of CPU load. This causes other applications become sluggish and unresponsive at times. With only 26 sites my RSS subscription list is rather modest, and should present no problems. I am on KDE 4.6.1, Fedora 15 on a rather weak processor (Celeron M 1.86 GHz). -- Gombang Nan Cengka Blog: http://gombang.blogspot.com |http://gombang.wordpress.com

Problem with VPN kde-plasma-networkmanagement

I can no longer connect to a my work VPN.

plasma-desktop has taken over my computer
by Claude Jones 14 Mar '11

14 Mar '11

The machine has beome barely responsive; things like the kickstart menu button, or right-click on the desktop, or clicking on the options button on the panel produce no effect - nothing. I don't remember doing anything in particular that could have caused this. If I run top, it says that plasma-desktop is using 100% of my CPU. If I long in as a different user, the problem's not there, so this specific to my regular user configuration. I notice that there are also three processes called 'migration' running - could those have anything to do with this problem? None of them seem to be using any measurable CPU resources... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA

Fun and games with sound
by Anne Wilson 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

A few days ago I installed a Creative SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 box - a USB device that allows you to use good speakers from your laptop. At first I had no success at all, but following the steps at http://fedorasolved.org/Members/fenris02/pulseaudio-fixes-and-workarounds got me started. This is where the fun and games begins. When I look at System Settings > Phonon, the number of devices that are listed varies enormously. I have seen about 10 on one occasion. Today there are 3, one of which is greyed out. I have no idea what causes the devices to be seen on some occasions but not on others. FWIW, the 5.1 system tops the list, the laptop's internal speakers are next, then the greyed out one is another configuration of the 5.1 system. Then there's sound output from applications. On the occasion that all the devices were listed I had good sound from front and rear, left and right, no center and no bass. Today, from a CD + VLC I have good sterio sound from rear L and R - nothing from the other speakers. Amarok simply outputs through the center speaker. Clementine plays through the laptop's speakers. I'm rather at a loss with this so any ideas you might have would be very welcome. Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

Shipping a dedicated backup solution on the KDE live CD?
by Kevin Kofler 10 Mar '11

10 Mar '11

Hi, on IRC, we have been discussing lately whether we should add a dedicated backup application to our live image (we probably should), and which one(s). I have collected some thoughts on the following wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Backup_Solution In short, we need to collect the common use cases and requirements (and also check which of them, if any, are already covered by e.g. Dolphin or Ark), and then evaluate how well the existing backup applications cover them. (Writing an entirely new application is not really in the scope of this discussion, it'd be a long-term task in any case. But this discussion MIGHT also be the starting point for such a project.) I have started by collecting some features I would like to see, but some of those might not be really needed (at least for most users), and there may be more important ones I have forgotten. (I'd like to know about any additional features people would like to see.) My list is just the output of the brainstorming I did, it is by no means intended to be final or binding. See the wiki page for details. If you have any feedback, you can: * reply to this mail on this mailing list, * use the discussion (Talk) page attached to the wiki page, * edit the wiki directly and/or * come to discuss this on IRC in the #fedora-kde channel on Freenode. We would appreciate any user feedback on this. Kevin Kofler

Ghost (flash?) advertisements on the desktop.
by linux guy 09 Mar '11

09 Mar '11

I get ghost images in applications on certain areas of my desktop after I open a website with an advertisement. The advertisements appear to be flash based. After a while the ghosts disappear and aren't a problem any more in the session. When I start a new session I get a ghost and it hangs around for a while and then disappears. I am not sure what causes it to disappear. I am running a fully up to date F14 installation. kdelibs.i686 6:4.6.1-0.2.fc14 @kde-testing akmod-nvidia.i686 1:260.19.36-1.fc14 @rpmfusion-nonfree-updates xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.i686 1:260.19.36-1.fc14 @rpmfusion-nonfree-updates flash-plugin.i386 10.2.152.27-release @adobe-linux-i386 I have not searched Bugzilla for information on this situation. There was an article on www.linuxhomepage.com that spoke of a similar issue, but I cannot find it anymore. Any and all advice for handling this issue is appreciated. Thanks.

/var/log/kdm.log
by Tomas Straupis 07 Mar '11

07 Mar '11

Hello I have a bigish /var/log/kdm.log file (272M). As far as I understand this log file is created by KDE (login(display?) manager)? Is it there by default and if so, shouldn't some kde package drop a file to /etc/logrotate.d/ to take care of the size of this log file? Should I go to bugzilla? (yum whatprovides /etc/logrotate.d/kdm* returns nothing, and looking through results of yum whatprovides /etc/logrotate.d/* does not reveal a potential kdm.log cleaner) P.S. f14, kde4.5.5. -- Tomas Straupis

kmail from kde-4.6.1 cannot access kwallet or mysql error
by Peter G. 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

When I start kmail, kwallet opens, but I am asked for the passwords for all of the stored pop3 servers anyway, then after entering them (even though they are already in kwallet), a new window opens stating that akonadi is not running as root and that there are errors in the mysql log (I cannot find that log: /var/log/mysqld.log is completely empty) and when I then click that window closed, kmail also closes, with the result that I am unable to download/read my emails.

Problem with Panel and Application Icons
by Eli Wapniarski 05 Mar '11

05 Mar '11

Hi Recently updated to 4.6.1. As usual, a great job packaging :) Now, when I log into KDE, the icons on the panel seem to be spread out evenly across the entire panel as opposed to sitting snuggly next to each other. Has anyone else noticed this behavior. Thanks Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

by Martin Kho 03 Mar '11

03 Mar '11

Hi, When I have Bluez (and Bluedevil) installed X doesn't starts on vt1. On my rawhide install X sits on vt7, in FC15 rc1 (qemu-kvm) it sits on vt2. I've tried to boot into rl 3 and issue startx as root. X starts on vt7. Anyone else seeing this? Is this a bug? What component? Thanks, Martin Kho

Luckybackup "select source" screen is blank
by Anne Wilson 01 Mar '11

01 Mar '11

Since I never resolved my rsync problem, I decided to look again at available backup tools. Luckybackup came highly recommended by Linux Format, so I installed luckybackup-0.4.4-1.fc14.i686. However, when I got to the "Select source" screen, I hit the browse button, and got a grey but blank screen, while the application appeared to hang. I can't see anything in BZ about this. Any ideas?
