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.

Hello Rex,
Fantastic, just what I need and I really need it now. Please consider
packaging Kdevelop next. I am certainly going to test your packages and report
back as soon as I get back from Easter holidays.
Please let me know if you support in any way can help speed things up.
Keep up the good work!

Install Plasma Resources???
by Lester Petrie
I installed F18 last week, and now when I log in, I get a pop up message
box with the subject as the title. The top line then says "Plasma
requires an additional service for this operation". Then there is an
icon with "script engine" out to the side. Finally, at the bottom, it
says "The following service is required. Do you want to search for this
now?", and a Continue button and a Cancel button. When I click on the
Continue, it comes back with "Failed to search for Plasma service" as
the top line, and a big yellow triangle with "Could not find service in
any configured software source" There is a Close button that deletes
the message box. What is it looking for? What do I do to make it quit
coming up? The only other strange thing that I observe that might
possibly be connected is that when I try to start yumex, it fails with a
message
YUM: The value for the SHELL variable was not found the /etc/shells file
/etc/shells has all the entries that are in it on another machine where
yumex works.

Telepathy SIP account using wrong IP for VPN connection
by Brad Hubbard
I was trying to configure a SIP (VOIP) account in telepathy (Accounts
module) and it kept failing. I tried Twinkle and it connected straight
away. So I looked at a packet capture and it turns out the sofiasip
connection was using my local home network IP to connect to the SIP
server on a vpn connection.
Once I ran the following command it connected straight away.
mc-tool update
sofiasip/sip/_312563_40ccm_2duse_2emy_2esip_2eexample_2ecom0
string:local-ip-address=10.XXX.XXX.XXX
Is this expected behaviour? I checked for a KDE bug but could not find
one. Happy to create one if that's what needs to happen.
Cheers,
Brad

OT: Qt5 Environment on Fedora 18
by George Galt
Rex:
I'm starting to play around with Qt5 and QML2. Can you give me any hints
on how to set up a Qt5 environment on Fedora 18 (x86_64) that will allow
things to co-exist with the standard Qt 4.8 that is part of Fedora 18?
Thanks,
George

windows envy
by Neal Becker
I'm rarely jealous of windows users. When I make a presentation using my wide-
screen laptop, using a crappy projector that is limited to 1280x1024, the best I
can figure is to put the projector 'right of' and the laptop on the left,
leaving the laptop at it's native res and the projector at 1280x1024. Works,
but awkward - for one thing can't see the presentation on the laptop.
I noticed my colleague (windows 7?) did a sort of clone, where the projector got
his 1280x1024, while the laptop kept the native res, but the image was narrowed.
Hey, that's just what I need. I guess the world of X, kde, nvidia, etc doesn't
do this?

kcm_touchpad
by Peter G.
I am testing, for 7 days, a wireless keyboard with built-in
touchpad, so I have remove the old USB-wired mouse and keyboaard.
The keyboard is fine.
The touchpad is deathly slow.
I looked in system settings, input devices, touchpad, and see that
the module is greyed out, but the button is showing on. I am unable
to adjust any settings.
I rebooted, just to make sure that the system recognized the
presence of the new devices, but that is supposed to be plug and
play with usb anyway, isn’t?
How can I set the touchpad settings?
