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 ?

F26 Talking Points
by Eduard Lucena
Hi team,
I'm Eduard Lucena, and I'm here in the behalf of the Marketing team. As you
should know, we prepare a lists of highlights about each release, called
Talking Points:
Talking points are key highlights of the new release. There are different
> types of talking points for different types of people: general desktop
> users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. They are meant to provide a
> short, effective answer to the question "What cool stuff is in the latest
> release of Fedora?" They are compelling, not necessarily comprehensive
>
This points help us, as Marketing team, as well to Ambassadors, to
publicize each release with the news and cool stuff.
For this matter and this release, we have this wiki page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points and we will be
happy to include the new things in the KDE Spin.
You can help us in both ways:
1. Editing the wiki directly with the points.
2. Throwing us the list, and we will put them in the wiki.
Thanks in advance for your help and for your efforts.
Br,

kwin / plasmashell not starting
by Ian Malone
Has anyone else experienced this? Fairly frequently I find that kwin
on F25 is not starting on login, there are no window decorations (e.g.
title bar) and all new windows start at top left with no apparent way
to move them. The solution seems to be to start a console and run
"kstart kwin".
This morning however I didn't even have a desktop, just a cursor and
an otherwise black screen. What was working was that typing brought up
the command bar at the top of the screen, so I was able to start
konsole. "kstart kwin" and "kstart kwin --replace" didn't seem to
achieve anything (though maybe I could have waited longer), eventually
tried "kstart plasmashell" and things seemed to run again.
This is the nouveau driver. I've had problems on F25 with getting
stuck at the splash screen ("K") after login, but adding nomodeset to
the kernel line in grub seemed to alleviate that, and I was using
nomodeset this morning.

F26 Konsole 16.12.3 lost scrollbar buttons
by Felix Miata
Scrollbar buttons disappeared, like the idiotic GTK3 defaults. How does one go
about getting them back?

This is definitely a kernel issue from what I am reading.
Ian, your suggestion to type in "kstart kwin --replace" worked if I had
a konsole open.
Anything I typed was associated with the last application open.

I will add to this today as well. Latest update and my computer was
useless unless I killed the full session.
I didn't get anything by typing but I was in to much stress to even
think about that. I will try that tomorrow as this is a work computer.
My problem seems to occur if the system has gone into sleep mode.
I set up a test account for testing a raw, clean account to see if it
was related to an old configuration file that I have ran into in the past.
KDE is falling apart since going to plasma and F25 has been good most of
the time until these black screens have started.
I won't be updating a few machines until I know that this isn't going to
happen on a regular basis.
Note, this has happened on F24 in the past week as well.
