dvratil-plasma-5 on f21: dependency problems
by Michael J Gruber 07 Jul '15

07 Jul '15

Hi, there seem to be some inconsistencies regarding kf5-activities from fedora-updates (f21) and the copr repo, see below. What's the best way to get that f21 box into a consistent state before fedupping to f22? Remove the copr repo for plasma 5 or leave it? Switch to dnf from yum?

Re: KDEINIT5 Crashes on "Special Window Settings"

I was seeing similar too recently, until I updated to kf5-5.11.0 , https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-9994 -- Rex ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Emilio Recio <Emilio.Recio(a)jefferson.edu> Sent: Thursday, June 18, 2015 7:36 AM To: kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org 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.

What's the best place to look for things like this? Ideally KDE/Plasma branded (not Fedora-specific). I'd love to have a button-down long-sleeve shirt with a logo on... -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."

F22 comments
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Jul '15

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. poc

newbie questions
by Sérgio Basto 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Hi, I need to be sure. In Fedora 22 with plasma 5 , is not possible start up kde-plasma 4 ? or use plasmoids for plasma 4 ? I'm looking for smb4k.spec [1], I have done a sub-package kde-plasma-smb4k , but is not useful on Fedora 22 , isn't it ? Another question to build packages for plasma 5 , we need BuildRequires: kdelibs5-devel or what ? [1] http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/smb4k.git/tree/smb4k.spec Thanks, -- Sérgio M. B.

Re: Anyone see panel lockups

Yes, it's not uncommon, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1193742 (there are other bugs tracking similar symptoms, but it is my opinion this is the primary issue), and please test libxcb update: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-10920 That includes some backported upstream fixes for such deadlocks. -- Rex ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Roderick Johnstone <rmj(a)ast.cam.ac.uk> Sent: Thursday, July 2, 2015 5:39 AM To: kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Subject: Anyone see panel lockups Hi again Today's issue was that a couple of people reported the plasma panel had locked up overnight. The clock was stuck at a bit after 9:00pm for one person and a bit after 11:00pm for someone else. I tried stracing plasmashell but there was no strace output, and strace was locked up. I couldn't ^C out of it but a kill without -9 was able to kill it. Restarting plasmashell fixed the panel problem. Anyone else seen this sort of behaviour?

KDE session pauses
by Roderick Johnstone 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

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 Roderick Johnstone
