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.

a workaround is just disable 3D graphics for the VM's and start them
headless with the VNC option and avoid the normal GUI but after so many
years using VMware under KDE (as well as ESXi for production servers) it
leaves a bad taste in my mouth to say it polite
and the fact that copy files over sftp freezes half of the GUI and i
recently smoked two cigarettes until something starts to working again
on a i7 SandyBrdige machine with 16 GB ram while switch with CTRL+ALT+F2
to a console and verify that all the files are already there while
plasma is running in circles with high CPU load confirms that until now
KDE5 is just unusable

A near freeze of plasma
by Ed Greshko
I've been seeing this problem several times a day. I can't reproduce it in any reliable way and I have no idea how I can go about collecting the needed info... Anyway, here is what happens.
My most recent experience with "freeze" is not a solid one. The screen is frozen but I can still move the mouse around. Also, if there is a video playing it will freeze but the audio will continue on. I can get out of it by logging in from a terminal and doing a "killall -u myusername" which gets me back to the login screen.
I think "kwin" is the most likely suspect and have upgraded to kwin-5.4.0-4 from updates testing as the changelog included this nugget which gave me hope....
* Tue Aug 25 2015 Daniel Vrátil <dvratil(a)redhat.com> - 5.4.0-2
- add upstream patch to fix crash
- make sure kwayland-integration is installed for kwin-wayland
But no... Still have issues. Any suggestion on what to look for to see if the culprit can be identified?

It seems most people that say they are "done talking about it" never really are until given the last word.

I've reached my limit with the Plasma 5 freezes. Speaking to users
who've tried alpha builds: do you think there's any hope of this
situation improving in Fedora 23? I see we're scheduled for a beta this
week. If the cause of the freezes hasn't been found yet, I'll start
making other plans for this machine.

Do you happen to use transmission or owncloud? If so, it would appear their systray icons are one source of leaks.

My only real gripe with P5 now is the amount of RAM it eats over the course of
a day.. up to almost 5 gig now and hitting swap! (8 gig on this box) uptime ~
17 hours. So kquitapp plasmashell resets it nicely.

Crashes Returned
by Emilio Recio
So I have to use LXQt Desktop env because the freezing returned with the
latest update of Fedora 22:
See the txt file for the packages which were updated. Looks like the bug
was reintroduced.
This time manually setting the xorg.conf doesn't fix the problem. I even
turned off all compositing as just xrender and it still locks up my xorg
session. I have no choice than ctrl-alt-backspace ... at least that
still works!

Time/Clock Widget and/or Calendar Widget Does Not Display Events
by Armelius Cameron
Hello,
I just installed a fresh Fedora 22 with KDE. For some reason, the
Clock widget and Calendar does not display events from Korganizer. In
my Korganizer I have both events from Google Calendar and default
calendar. The "Digital Clock Settings" or "Calendar Settings" don't
even have any checkbox for displaying events, like in earlier version.
I am sorry if this was asked before; I've search everywhere but
couldn't come up with anything. Is there something I missed ?
Thank you,
AC.
