nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 08 Feb '20

08 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

I have akonadi set to defaults, (internal mysql), but it won't start.

kde 4.9.98 for F17
by Gilboa Davara 06 Feb '13

06 Feb '13

Hello Rex, Due to anaconda / fedup issues I will most likely have to skip F18 on most of my workstations (neither one seems to be capable of handling LVM+MD+Luks). Any chance of getting 4.9.9x and down the road, 4.10.9x to kde-unstable/f17? Thanks, - Gilboa

F18, KDE 4.9.5 When I try to set my timezone using the KDE settings widget, I get an error popup: Error setting new time zone. Note that the widget doesn't ask for any authentication. Any thoughts? poc

Should kscreen "Provides: kde-display-management"?
by Mary Ellen Foster 04 Feb '13

04 Feb '13

Hello all, I have kscreen installed from fedora updates-testing, and I have kde-unstable enabled. Trying to do an update today, I get the following: Processing Conflict: 1:kscreen-0.0.71-2.fc18.x86_64 conflicts kded_randrmonitor --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: kscreen conflicts with kded_randrmonitor-4.9.98-3.fc18.x86_64 However, I can't just remove kded_randrmonitor, as it provides kde-display-management which is needed by kde-workspace. And I can't exclude kded_randrmonitor from the update because it requires the same version of kde-workspace. If kscreen is meant to conflict with kded_randrmonitor, should it also provde kde-display-management? That would fix the above yum problem, but only if kscreen does actually provide something comparable to the randr thing.

screen lock/power mgmt not working (4.9.98)
by Neal Becker 02 Feb '13

02 Feb '13

kdelibs-4.9.98-1.fc18.x86_64 I have set in screen locker: start auto after 10 min require pw after 60 sec And in battery monitor settings screen energy saver: switch off after 10 min Same as I've always had. But this morning, I see that pw prompt is still sitting on screen, it had not switched off. Can you spell "burn in"?

Problem after updating from kde-testing repo
by Eli Wapniarski 31 Jan '13

31 Jan '13

Hey Rex!!!!! I had a big problem with the latest 4.9.5-4 updates from the kde-testing repos. They installed just fine but when I tried to log in, I immediately got bumped back to the login in screen. It was a real pain to find the 4.9.5-3 packages again. :( Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

xdg-settings rational explanation ???
by Ed Greshko 27 Jan '13

27 Jan '13

Hi, When using chrome as my browser I want ktorrent used for opening magnet links. Originally transmission was being used and the following was the case.... [egreshko@meimei ~]$ xdg-settings get default-url-scheme-handler magnet transmission-gtk.desktop So, I did.... xdg-settings set default-url-scheme-handler magnet ktorrent.desktop No matter how many times I executed that command the "get" still returned transmission-gtk.desktop. Finally I erased transmission-gtk and transmission-common. When I first executed the "get" it still returned transmission-gtk.desktop. I then did the "set" again, and finally ktorrent.desktop was returned and chrome used ktorrent as requested. So, can anyone give a suggestion as to why the "sets" failed to change the settings until transmission was removed from the system? -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.

apper annoyance
by Neal Becker 26 Jan '13

26 Jan '13

I'm not sure who's at fault for this one. With f18 there are notifications about updates shown on my screen. It happens that I had manually run yum update, and then said 'no' to the update. Then something (apper?) was causing notifications - about every 5 minutes - to appear on my screen saying it failed because of incomplete yum transaction. I went to lunch, came back, and my screen was pretty covered with these. I manually ran sudo yum-complete-transaction, which informed me there was _nothing to do_, and this cleared the problem. This is not very nice behavior.
