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.

Subject: KDEINIT5 Crashes on "Special Window Settings"
So I just upgraded from F21 to F22, and amongst the myriad of issues
(e.g.: system tray woes), the main frustrating one, is a KDEINIT5 crash
when I am trying to have Pidgin, Konsole, or any application actually,
present on all virtual desktops.
Right click on a window's title bar/top border. Select "More actions"
and "Special Window Settings..." and I just get a "We are sorry,
kdeinit4 (deleted) closed unexpectedly. You cannot report this error,
because kdeinit5 (deleted) does not provide a bug reporting address.
Details: Executable: kdeinit5 (deleted) PID: ... Signal: Segmentation

F22 comments
by Patrick O'Callaghan
Just installed F22 using fedup from F21. See the Users list for a
couple of general comments. Regarding KDE:
1) The Plasma session restore bug is still present.
2) SDDM is still broken (no gnome-key support) so I use KDM. Luckily it
still works on F22.
3) I get a crash report on each login from kf5-kactivities. I have no
use for Activies in Plasma but the package can't be removed because of
Plasma dependencies.

KDE session pauses
by Roderick Johnstone
Hi
Since this morning, me and my users have been seeing pauses in our KDE
sessions on F22.
Symptoms are that typing in a terminal stops for a second or two every
few minutes (at irregular intervals). Sometimes the pause is longer than
other times. You can still move the windows around.
Active pings to other hosts also pause but eventually write the expected
output as if nothing had happened - normal ping times, no lost pings.
I've done a lot of tests and think I've eliminated network hangups to
the nis server and home disk hang ups (home disk are local but looked up
over NIS).
Everything works as normal in an XFCE session, its KDE thats affected.
It seems that konsole and emacs i/o thats paused. Probably other
termianls/editors would pause too but I haven't tried them. BBC news
channel also goes buffering for a moment, but with the spinning symbol.
There were no obvious KDE updates last night, just a handful of other
packages.
Anyone else seeing this kind of behaviour?
Thanks

lock screen serious problem with sleep
by Neal Becker
I have 2 monitors (laptop + external). If I close laptop lid, system will
sleep. Now disconnect hdmi to monitor. Now open lid. lock screen is
displayed.
But there is no way to enter the password. I can move mouse around.
Caplock is responded to. But I can't enter any characters into the password
field.
Only thing I can do is switch to VT, and do systemctl restart sddm.

Camera recognition / device notifier
by Ed Greshko
In KDE4 when I plugged in my Canon DSLR it would show up in the device notifier and I could start digikam.
In the new plasma5 system nothing happens when the camera is plugged in. How do I get device notifier to do the same is in KDE4?
Also, if you bring up "Device Notifier Settings" and click in the area above "keyboard shortcuts" you will get a message saying
Error: Could not load: file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.devicenotifier/contents/ui:-1 File not found
What is that about?

plasmashell oddities
by Ed Greshko
I've experienced a couple of oddities with regards to plasmashell that I A) Wonder if anyone else has seen and B) how to capture information for debugging in the event something similar happens again.
These have only happened one time each but they still "bug" me as I think they, or something similar, may happen again.
1. Everything disappeared from the systray. It I could still see the outline but nothing else. Restarting plasmashell brought everything back.
2. I run dual monitors. Suddenly the background and the Home and Trash icons were gone. I though the display had been powered off or when to sleep. However, I could drag a konsole window to the "blank" display and it displayed just fine. Again, restarting plasmashell brought everything back.
Currently running plasma-workspace-5.3.0-4. Konsole output
