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

SDDM doesn't unlock gnome-keyring?
by Juan Orti Alcaine 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

I'm testing SDDM and I've seen gnome-keyring is not unlocked when starting a session. It works fine with KDM Is only me, or someone else has experienced this problem? I remember to have touch the pam configuration of kdm in the past, but sddm has its stock config. I have this in /etc/pam.d/sddm auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so auth substack password-auth -auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so -auth optional pam_mate_keyring.so auth include postlogin account required pam_nologin.so account include password-auth password include password-auth session required pam_selinux.so close session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so -session optional pam_ck_connector.so session required pam_selinux.so open session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session required pam_namespace.so session include password-auth -session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start -session optional pam_mate_keyring.so auto_start session include postlogin And this in /etc/pam.d/kdm #%PAM-1.0 auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so auth required pam_env.so auth substack system-auth -auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auth include postlogin account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session required pam_selinux.so close session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so -session optional pam_ck_connector.so session required pam_selinux.so open session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session required pam_namespace.so -session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start session include system-auth session include postlogin -- Juan Orti GPG Key: DEEBD08B - http://jorti.fedorapeople.org/pubkey.asc Blog: https://apuntesderoot.wordpress.com/

Advice needed on dealing with kicad, kipi-plugins and kdepim
by Richard Hughes 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi all, A few weeks ago we produced this: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FBmdtwDH6WHaLBfy6yqYqjEd3IA5GBEDyh-… which is a list of all the desktop applications and addons that share package names in Fedora. The core problem is that users click "Remove" on "Akonadi Console" in either Apper or GNOME Software and then find that an application that they wanted to keep "KOrganizer" has gone too! So they re-install "KOrganizer" and the "Akonadi Console" item appears magically. The confused user then files a bug :) Splitting things up into subpackages containing the correct binary and the .desktop file, depending on a -common package would fix things, and is what most of the software in that shared document has already done. The alternative is to add NoDisplay=true to the desktop file for something like Akonadi Console that might want to be hidden in the menus, or blacklist akonadiconsole.desktop from the metadata parser completely. The other fix we can do is to "merge" the child applications into a parent application, e.g. we merged git-dag into git-cola so only the latter is shown in the software center. This isn't ideal as then you hide the very thing the user might be looking for (although, we do inherit the merged applications keywords and mimetypes for searching). In an ideal world we should split up the kicad, kipi-plugins and kdepim packages into 4+ subpackages each, but I wanted to know what you all thought of the proposal before I filed a bug or worked on a patch. Ideas welcome, thanks. Richard.

Make a KDM greeter screenshot
by Felix Miata 19 Jul '14

The instructions at http://linuxtidbits.wordpress.com/2009/12/07/taking-a-kdm-screenshot/ don't work for my KDE4/KDM4 installation. The few others Google has found me also fail, including searching focused on kde.org. Anyone know where to find instructions that work?

Meeting attendance statistics, Proposal: replace siddharts with danofsatx as voting WG member
by Kevin Kofler 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi, I made a table of the meeting attendance since the inception of the new Plasma WG. The HTML table is attached. Of note: * On 2014-04-22, there was no meeting at all. On 2014-06-10, less than half of the voting members were attending. For several of the other days, I had to drum together people to get them to show up, several showed up late (lateness is not considered in the table, late people are listed as present), and the main reason there was no meeting on April 22 is that I wasn't there to drum people up. * Attendance ranges from 100% (me, though to be fair, I wouldn't have been present on April 22 if there had been a meeting on that day) to 0% (Siddharth Sharma). * 2 voting members have attendance scores less than 50%: jreznik (46%) and obviously siddharths (0%). * On the other hand, danofsatx has been attending at least 62% of the meetings. (Those are only the ones he reported present at, meetbot doesn't log people who are present without writing anything, thus the "at least".) I propose that, effective immediately, Siddhart Sharma gets dropped from the list of voting WG members, and nominate danofsatx as the replacement. WG members, please vote! My vote for my own proposal is obviously a +1. Kevin Kofler

There may have been some confusion over that in particular, but to be clear... *my* intent was indeed to simply ship a firewall rule and document it, but not enable it by default. -- Rex
