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 ?

White spaces in Kmail (dark themes)
by Colin J Thomson
Hi,
After the recent updates of qt5-qtwebengine there are white spaces in the
message window when using a Dark Theme.
Another user has just reported this on kde.bugs with a screen shot
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=379406
I don't know if it is a kmail or qtwebengine bug or even related to mesa/
nouveau saga.
Kmail 5.4.3

Xembedsniproxy segfault plasma-5.10.1/5.10.2
by Colin J Thomson
Hi,
I have just stumbled across this yesterday, that xembedsniproxy segfaults
after noticing dnfdragora's update icon was not in the tray.
I noticed it first with plasma 5.10.1 and is still there with today's update
to 5.10.2, so I rolled back to 5.10.0 to test and get no segfault.
I can start Xembedsniproxy from a shell and it works OK.
Anyone else seeing this?
F26, Plasma 5.10.2, frameworks 5.35
I have a feeling this was automatically reported but need to check.

[F25] only black screen with KDE Plasma session
by Frédéric Bron
Hi,
Since this morning, after loging in on a Plasma KDE session, I can
first see the desktop then only a black screen with only the mouse
available, nothing else.
Ctrl+Alt+Suppr, brings the log out screen so I can log out.
I can also switch to a text terminal with Ctrl+Alt+F2. That's all.
On the fedora users mailing list, we identified that it is due to
plasmashell crash.
With a newly created user, I get the same problem.
Here is the content of .xsession-errors after the crash:
xset: bad font path element (#2), possible causes are:

Multifuncional Brother MFC-9320CW
by Lucélio Gomes de Freitas
Hi,
Somebody helps?
Old "Fedora 20-x86_64" installed and working(printer&scanner) with my
Brother MFC-9320CW. Due to a hardware problem, I had to change my
motherboard. All worked fine, until I decided to update the system.
After I installed Fedora-Kde-live-25-1-3, I lost access to the scanner
of the MFC-9320CW, and now I have 2 problems:
1) Don't have scangui anymore, skanlite seems that does't work with
wi-fi devices. Printing is working ok.
2) When I shutdown the system, dolphin ends with a segmentation fault(11).
Need help, please.
Thanks.

unable to unzip files after upgrade
by Emmett Culley
I've tried ark, konqueror and even dolphin, none of which will open a zip file. In all cases I get an unsupported file type error. This worked recently and so I believe it is broken as a result of my last update, which was this weekend.
Both zip and unzip are installed and seem to work on the command line.
I am using Fedora 25.
Anyone else seeing this?

kde spectacle disappears when taking a New Screenshot in Fedora 25
by max.blair＠brynathyn.edu
I am new to spectacle AND Fedora 25 (long time user of Fedora 21 and ksnapshot).
spectacle graphic window appears as expected.
The spectacle graphic window disappears when I take a New Screenshot.
The process is still running in background.
I was experimenting to look for clues.
I brought up spectacle from the command line (using Konsole) and I get the following error printed out:
[mblair@localhost 05_Business_Development]$ spectacle&
[1] 14352
[mblair@localhost 05_Business_Development]$ QPainter::begin: Paint device returned engine == 0, type: 2
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
QPixmap::scaled: Pixmap is a null pixmap
qrc:///QuickEditor/EditorRoot.qml:75:5: QML Image: Failed to get image from provider: image://snapshot/rawimage
qrc:///QuickEditor/EditorRoot.qml:75:5: QML Image: Failed to get image from provider: image://snapshot/rawimage
Can anyone tell me what they think is causing spectacle to fail?
Thank you
(note: I was regularly using ksnapshot in Fedora 21 - just recently installed Fedora 25 - ksnapshot now has video problems with scrambled screen when requesting New Screenshot - BUT since ksnapshot is going away I will not solve this problem and will use spectacle)
