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 ?

Windows key to launch menu stops working
by Go Canes
I discovered in a recent update that KDE now directly supports the
"windows" key for launching the start menu. So I removed ksuperkey and the
auto-start entry, and everything works fine! Except that after some time,
it stops working.
So far I haven't been able to pin down a specific action that causes it to
break, but I am trying to do so.
Has anyone else seen this?

If it's any help, all search functions here are extremely fast and
perfectly accurate:
$ kmail --version
kmail2 5.4.2
$ akonadictl -v
akonadictl 5.4.2
$ rpm -q kdepim-runtime
kdepim-runtime-16.12.2-1.fc25.x86_64
$ which akonadi_baloo_indexer
/usr/bin/which: no akonadi_baloo_indexer in (/usr/local/bin:/home/garry/.local/bin:/home/garry/.cabal/bin:/usr/local/tora/bin:/home/garry/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin)
$ rpm -q kf5-akonadi-search
kf5-akonadi-search-16.12.2-1.fc25.x86_64

kmail no longer works
by Peter G.
There was a gpgme update last night and this morning I notice
that kmail doesn't work any longer.
When I start it from the command line, I get the error message:
kmail: relocation error: /lib64/libKF5Gpgmepp-pthread.so.5:
symbol gpgme_pubkey_algo_string, version GPGME_1.1 not defined in
file libgpgme.so.11 with link time reference

Sound management seems to be broken.
by Sudhir Khanger
Hello,
I have been having problems related to my Plasma 25 install on multiple levels.
1. Sound is unclear and there is a lot of noise. I also hear random crackle/blip from time to time. There a blip I hear when I connect my earphones.
This all seems like a hardware problem to me. Possibly the speakers on my 2 month old system have give up. I tried older ISO to see if it is a software problem but it occurs on older version of Fedora and Ubuntu too.
That being said the biggest problem is software based.
2. The earphone detection is broken. It has a mind of its own. It may or may not recognize my earphone. I have to either kill pulseaudio or restart session to get sound.
3. Audio settings tell me there are three recording devices on my system - Internal Microphone, Microphone, and Headphone Microphone. The first and last one makes sense but not the Microphone. Which device is it?
Do you guys have similar experiences or ideas on how to fix it?

Rawhide: black screen after login
by Mattia Verga
I had a virtual machine in Virtualbox with Fedora Rawhide on it. In the
last days I always got a black screen after login, I can only see mouse
pointer and bring up the process manager (with CTRL-ESC), but nothing more.
I thought about my machine was broken somehow, so I've reinstalled it
from scratch... but I get the same result.
I don't think it's a Virtualbox graphic problem because the process
manager window shows up fine... is anyone experiencing the same issue?
Maybe plasma-desktop is broken in rawhide?
Thanks
