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

by Rex Dieter 11 Apr '14

11 Apr '14

Quick status update on el6 kde builds hosted @ kde-redhat repos... * I moved the kde-4.10.x stuff from kde-unstable to kde-testing, finally. * Over the past couple of says, started working on kde-4.11.x builds, should be showing up in kde-unstable real soon, as soon as I work my way through the last batch of stuff that doesn't build cleanly: http://kdeforge2.unl.edu/kde-redhat/mock/needswork/ Enjoy. -- Rex

split kde-baseapps packaging in kde-baseapps-4.12.0-2
by Rex Dieter 04 Jan '14

04 Jan '14

Heard a lot of user feedback (complaints, requests) for being able to remove konqueror, and I've implemented a first step in that direction beginning with kde-baseapps-4.12.0-2 now in rawhide, and f19/f20 kde-unstable repos. There continue to be kde-baseapps (metapackage), kde-baseapps-libs (metapackage), kde-baseapps-devel. In addition to those we have new subpackages: kde-baseapps-common.noarch (includes licenses mostly) dolphin kde-plasma-folderview kdepasswd kdialog keditbookmarks kfind konqueror libkonq this ended up being more work that I anticipated, ended up spending a lot of yesterday working on it, but am happy with the result. Please test, and offer feedback, especially regarding subpackage interdependencies. Next steps include adding some/all of these to rawhide comps, and adjusting dependencies in other packages that currently use stuff like: Requires: kde-baseapps -- Rex

kde session keyboard settings
by Roderick Johnstone 03 Jan '14

03 Jan '14

Hi I'm trying to establish an F20 x2go kde session with the correct keyboard type and mapping for my clients' keyboards (pc105/gb, and mac). What I get when I log in is always a us keyboard map for a pc105 keyboard. I've tried starting the x2go session with a simple xterm, and found that I can get the correct keyboard mapping as set by the x2go windows client. (I had to touch a file /usr/share/X11/xkb/keymap.dir to get this to work though.) Since the keyboard map is correct in the Xterm session but wrong in the kde session it looks like x2go is setting the keyboard/map ok but that kde is somehow overriding what is being set by x2go. (I've tried with Keyboard daemon both checked and unchecked in System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Service manager. I'm running with kscreen2 unchecked as that causes other problems with resizing the session window). Does kde try to set the keyboard type and layout on login? If so, how can I stop it doing that and accept whatever was set before startkde was run? Thanks Roderick Johnstone PS I thought I had this working robustly from different clients in F20-beta, but I'm back to square one now.

Can anyone advise how to remove the "Sleep" option from the KDE Leave tab please. I'd like to be able to do this system wide, ie for all my users. Thanks. Roderick Johnstone

another bug with bluedevil
by Neal Becker 30 Dec '13

30 Dec '13

The crash on connect bug is fixed. Now I can connect to my audio sink. But I can't disconnect. Even after connecting, there is no 'disconnect' option shown - only 'connect'. Clicking on 'configure bluetooth', I can then select my headset, and then disconnect.

Prompting for wireless password
by Orion Poplawski 28 Dec '13

28 Dec '13

On login now I'm often prompted for my wireless password before I'm prompted for my kwallet password (which contains the wireless password). Is this a known issue? Currently running 4.11.4 on F20. -- 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

bluedevil-audio crashes when trying to connect
by Neal Becker 25 Dec '13

25 Dec '13

100% repeatable. Used to work before update from f19->f20. Now segfaults when I hit 'connect'. Did not install debuginfo - that would install 2.2G and this machine is running short of space.

kde-4.12.0 for f19/f20
by Rex Dieter 22 Dec '13

22 Dec '13

Thanks partly to my being home sick a couple of days, and having nothing better to do... :) Just pushed an initial batch of kde-4.12.0 rpms for f19 to our kde-unstable (footnote) repo. I similarly updated kde-unstable/f20 a couple of days ago too. Enjoy. Per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Update_policy we'd very much appreciate any feedback/testing from the community to help facilitate bringing kde-4.12.x to f20 officially at some point in the (hopefully) near future. -- Rex footnote: see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/Testing for details on how to use/access our 3rd party kde repos.
