Plasma 5.9.3 status
by Rex Dieter
kdesig has been working furiously this week to bring plasma-5.9.3 to fedora.
First, plasma-5.9.3 was imported into fedora rawhide. Then, based on that
work, we did an initial set of f25 builds in copr:
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kdesig/plasma-5-unstable/
For testing and feedback. If all goes well, we will seriously consider
bringing plasma-5.9.x to official fedora updates (and will be an upgrade
path from using the plasma-5-unstable copr).
One blocker: a new kf5-kirigami2 dependency needs review,
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=kf5-kirigami2
(If more issues come up, I'll create a formal plasma-5.9 tracker bug)
Enjoy, and let us know what breaks.

Error messages after upgrade to kernel 4.10.5
by P Breviglieri
My apologies in advance if this is not the appropriate forum / list to post this. If so, please forward me to the appropriate one(s).
My kernel was upgraded to 4.10.5-200.fc25.x86_64 this morning. Since then, I have received the following system error messages, all related to supposed hardware errors:

Any hint on what may be happening? Anyone else seeing this? I have the copr repo active and enabled for package download.
Thanks in advance!

change file associations
by Reindl Harald
first:
the system settings are becoming less and less over time, in the past
there was a option to review and change all file associations from a
central point
second:
it makes me tired that in Konqueror i can change the file associations
from the info dialog of a file but changes are not saved correctly, for
.ta.xz i have 3 "open with" entries
* xarchiver (no longer installed)
* kde4-ark (not working - ark -caption "%c" %U)
* org.kde.ark (ark %U)
the kde4-ark likely was broken because of "-caption" no longer
supported, this could i even fix by change the program property, but
when i remove anything but the second "ark" entry that is only displayed
but not saved
frankly over the years i got tired of that damned renames of .desktop
files and that change file associations seems to be a persistent problem
here and there depending on nobody knows what

LXDE causing KDE problems
by Frederico Lima
Hi,
first I'm sorry if this issue is already known.
I have an F25 with Gnome, XFCE, LXDE,
so I installed the KDE PLASMA through dnf groupinstall
So I logged into an KDE session, and I saw some problems with it:
The lock screen was missing, just an black screen was shown, I can't even come back to my desktop after lock my screen.
The tray icons like telegram and thunderbird (with an extension that shows an icon on tray) was missing.
If I close the window the process was killed, It doesnt show up on tray.
So I removed KDE,
and I even didn't remember that I have installed LXDE, so I removed it also,
just to be sure that was and KDE problem
I reinstalled KDE again, just for see what will happen,
and voilà,
KDE is working perfectly.
So, can you guys take a look at this?
because someone else may pass through this kind of problem in the future.
Thank you to bring KDE so polished into Fedora.

Strange pager appearance
by Patrick O'Callaghan
My pager panel has suddenly acquired twin panels. IOW each panel
representing a desktop is now side-by-side with another empty panel.
The effect is purely visual, i.e. each double-size panel behaves as the
previous one did, except it has empty space to the right.
My last update to Plasma was on Friday, but I've logged out and in
again since then without this happening until now.
I attach a small screenshot to illustrate.

Getting rid of un-needed GNOME files
by Gerald B. Cox
I noticed this AM that each time I rebooted my system I would be
zombies from tracker. I created a bug here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1432599
I really didn't have a clue as to what it was for anyway, and apparently it
is used
by GNOME and not needed/used if you are running KDE - so I deleted it.
If that was a wrong assumption on my part, please advise.
Which brings me to my question... does anyone have a list of stuff that is
unneeded by KDE but installed by default by Fedora Workstation?
It's not a matter of filespace (or even processing power I suppose in most
cases). What I'm
concerned about is that if something has a bug and I start investigating
and spinning my wheels and find that I don't use or even need the package
in the first place - like tracker.

KDE on QEMU/KVM v.s. GNOME
by Ed Greshko
If I install GNOME from the LiveDVD and then run it under QEMU/KVM the
login and user displays will automatically resize as I expand/contract
the VM's window.
I cannot find a way for KDE to behave in a similar fashion. I can login
and then select a larger display size to get near to what I would want.
However, it would be nice to have it resize automatically and
arbitrarily as GNOME is doing.
From what I could gather spice-vdagent is supposed to interact with the
desktop to allow this. One bugzilla that I found had a comment which
put it this way...
spice-vdagent used to be doing something like this, but this was racing
with desktop environments keeping track of the current
resolution/monitors/.., so we are now informing the desktop environment
that a resolution change would be desirable, and let it handle it.
So, is this plasma5 just deciding not to allow auto/arbitrary resizing?

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?

kde update issues
by Roderick Johnstone
Hi
I've been seeing a few problems updating kde packages on my Fedora 24
systems for a few days now. Examples of the problems are listed below.
At first I thought this was just a quirk of the mirrors I'm using being
out of date but its been going on since 7 March. I checked a few other
mirrors and get the same result.
I'm not sure whether I'm just not being patient enough with the mirrors,
or whether something in my setup is broken.
Can someone advise what to how to proceed please.
Thanks
Roderick
