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. -gene

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 ? -- Rex

Emacs key binding in KDE Plasma 5?

by Sherman Grunewagen

Just moved from Fedora 21 to F25. Under F21 I had a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 which contained gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" This enabled basic Emacs cursor motion keyboard commands in text input boxes throughout KDE, Firefox, &c. (Outside of input boxes, KDE shortcuts ruled.) How can I get this same behaviour for Plasma 5 w/in F25? From reading around, I've created ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and inserted [Settings] gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs in this empty file. This has given the desired result in Firefox and Thunderbird, but not w/in arbitrary text boxes in KDE (e.g. Alt-F2). The ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file is still intact, by the way. It seems to have no effect. Any ideas? -Sherman

SDDM Themes not working

by Gerald B. Cox

I find that I now cannot select themes - and I'm getting either a solid white or blue background when SDDM starts. When I tried to test, this is what I received: sddm-greeter --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze [11:43:09.032] (II) GREETER: High-DPI autoscaling not Enabled [11:43:09.108] (EE) GREETER: Socket error: "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name" [11:43:09.109] (EE) GREETER: Cannot connect to the daemon - is it running? [11:43:09.317] (II) GREETER: Loading file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml... [11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml: No such file or directory [11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml: No such file or directory [11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: Fallback to embedded theme Wanted to see if there was a quick fix or if this is known before I create a bug report. I didn't see anything on bugzilla, but might have missed it. Thanks!

How to have plugins in gwenview?

by Frédéric

With F25 and F26, the plugin list in gwenview (16.12.3.2.fc26) is very small. For example there is no panorama maker. This is even if kf5-kipi-plugins and kf5-kipi-plugins-libs are installed (5.6.0.1.fc26). Why such a regression? F

f26 dnfdragora: selecting repos does not work

by John Pilkington

I like to use a graphical packager manager to get easy repo management - either immediate or sticky. In f25 and f26 yumex-dnf lets me examine things as non-root and then asks for permission before making changes. I understand that the current recommendation in f26 is dnfdragora. As non-root, the dnfdragora gui allows me to select or deselect repos - and the one I particularly want to control is rpmfusion updates - but this seems to have no effect on the packages found. Am I supposed to have 'kdesu dnfdragora' in the launcher? I have kannolo-root-unlocker installed. TIA, John P

Video Download Helper will not run with Firefox 57

by Temlakos

Everyone: After updating Firefox I got a message to "refresh" it--that is, remove all add-ins. Foolishly I did so, thinking to reinstall them later using compatible versions. But I have not been able to get Video Download Helper to work. I followed their instructions to install a "companion application." That means working in a terminal version (actually, Konsole; I'm working in KDE). The messages I get all say the companion app is ready for use. But after repeated shutdowns and restarts, VDH still will not download anything. Temlakos

Usability issue, newly installed Fedora KDE plasma

by Morten W. Petersen

Hi there. I recently decided to try out Fedora, and installed it on my desktop computer. It has multiple sound cards, and I blogged about the process here: http://blogologue.com/frames?url=http://blogologue.com/blog_entry?id=1506... Today I looked around in the system settings menu, and found that I could set the preferred sound device there. Wouldn't it be a bit easier for a novice user to configure the preferred sound device from the sound panel in the taskbar? At least to begin with. And sound settings is easier to understand than "multimedia".
