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.

time to orphan/retire unmaintained uncommon kde4 language bindings?
by Rex Dieter
Looking over some broken deps reports, I came across some old packages:
kdebindings
smokeqt
smokekde
qyoto (csharp/mono)
kimono (csharp/mono)
ruby-qt
ruby-korundum
perl-Qt
Of these, the only one that's not a pure leaf package is perl-Qt (debconf-
kde depends on it).
any comment or objection to considering orphaning most (all minus
smokeqt/perl-Qt) or all of these ?

I normally have two session open in KDE but don't have that issue. I do
have a fixed Xorg.conf file and that may make the difference.

KDE and latest Fedora 24 kernel do not get along
by Charles R. Dennett
Hi,
I've used KDE for years and never had a serious issue. Yesterday
(11/19) morning I did a "dnf update" and updated to the latest available
patches (I do this every 2-3 weeks or so). Nothing relayed to KDE was
updated as far as I could tell, but the kernel was updated from 4.8.4 to
4.8.7. Upon rebooting after the update, I got the sddm login screen as
usual. I entered my name and password as usual. The KDE starting
splash screen appeared as usual.
After that is when the unusual happened. I got a blank screen. No
panels (I have one along the bottom), no icons, no initial konsole
window. Using Alt-Tab showed the konsole window but I could not bring
it to the current screen. The mouse was active. I noticed a faint
white line at the left edge. Clicking on it with my mouse and dragging
it to the right expanded what was my konsole window. Apparently it was
off screen to the left.
I rebooted on the older 4.8.4 kernel and all was fine. I removed and
reinstalled the 4.8.7 kernel. That did not help. (This morning a newer
4.8.8 kernel and I tried that but it behaved the same as with the 4.8.7
kernel.)
Thinking that perhaps something buried in my home directory might be
causing this, I created a new user. That new user had the exact same
issues. I also looked in ~.xsession-errors. Nothing there that
indicated any problem. Nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, either. I
didn't see anything in the recent archives of this list.
Anyone else seen this issue? I'm out of ideas at this time. I'll keep
running the older 4.8.4 kernel since that works.
I'll be glad to supply any additional information anyone thinks might help.
Thanks for any help or suggestions

how to get rid of powerdevil with 5.8
by Reindl Harald
is there some sane way to override
"/etc/xdg/autostart/powerdevil.desktop" like "systemctl mask" - looks
like something is overriding my autostart-item or it#s ignored like
"ssh-add"
frankly keep your fingers from my display and other powersettings
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /home/harry/.config/autostart-scripts/display-on.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash
xset -dpms
xset s off

okular5 and kile beta
by Enrique Artal
Dear members of the list:
First, I would like to thank people making possible to use kde in Fedora. I found this unofficial repo http://compsci.cas.vanderbilt.edu/Fedora/local/ with rpm and srpm packages of okular5 and the new (beta) version of kile. Are there any plans to have these packages in Fedora? Live Preview is a very nice feature. Best, Enrique.

No KDE option when logging on on FC24 desktop
by Tom Baron
Hi All - I am switching over to a new desktop which has FC24 already installed on it. I am trying to get KDE installed and working. The first thing I tried (from the Fedora KDE wiki) was "dnf install @kde-desktop", but it said there was nothing to do:
...
Last metadata expiration check: 1:49:36 ago on Mon Nov 28 09:39:00 2016.
Group 'KDE' is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
After some googling, I then successfully did "yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces", but there was still no KDE option in the session menu after logging out. I have tried various things since, including:
yum install kdebase-workspace
yum install kdm
systemctl enable gdm
systemctl enable kdm
But the problem persists. I am admittedly shotgunning here, but I am not sure what else to do. Any help appreciated..
Thanks,
Tom

No KDE option in session menu
by Tom Baron
Hi All - I recently got a new desktop with Fedora 24 installed, and I am
trying to install/configure KDE. I tried doing "dnf install @kde-desktop"
as stated on
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE#Installing_KDE_Plasma_Workspaces, but it
said it was already installed:
dnf install @kde-desktop
Last metadata expiration check: 1:49:36 ago on Mon Nov 28 09:39:00 2016.
Group 'KDE' is already installed, skipping.
Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!
I then did some googling and tried the following: yum groupinstall "KDE
Plasma Workspaces". This did install a bunch of packages, but after logging
out the KDE option still does not show up in the session menu. Keeping with
my shotgun mentality, I tried:
yum install kdebase-workspace
systemctl disable gdm
systemctl enable kdm
system-switch-displaymanager kdm
But no change. Any help is greatly appreciated..
Thanks,
Tom
