nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 07 Feb '20

07 Feb '20

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 28 May '19

28 May '19

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 21 May '19

21 May '19

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 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

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?

F26: Problem with '/usr/lib64/qt5/plugins/kf5/parts/kjavaappletviewer.so'
by John Pilkington 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

I just tried to preview a .class file from projectx in F26 konqueror with this result. Attempts to use other tools also fail, and el7 has a similar problem. Google finds related complaints from Windows 10. Apparently the class I hoped to examine isn't there - but that's another story.

digikam 5.8.0-2 with mysql
by Chris Rouch 31 Jan '18

31 Jan '18

I just updated to the latest digikam on fedora 27. It tries to do a database migration on startup, which fails. I assumed this was because I was using a mysql server. I raised a bug this morning, and have already had an update and a fix, which is to change dbconfig.xml to the one in the bug report below. This worked for me. Looking at the date on the rpm it was built just before this file was updated upstream, so hopefully the next release will have it included.

[Talking Points] KDE SIG
by Alberto Rodriguez Sanchez 28 Jan '18

28 Jan '18

Hi KDE Team, I'm Alberto from the marketing team, Talking points are key highlights of the new release. They should be compelling, but they will not necessarily be comprehensive. There are different types of talking points for different types of people: general desktop users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. For the Fedora 28 cycle, we will also have talking points to address some of the Spins. They are meant to provide a short, effective answer to the question, "What cool stuff is in the latest release of Fedora?" Each cycle, the Marketing team compiles a short list of approximately three talking points for each of these audiences for the upcoming release. So, What is new from the KDE Team?? P.D: We already have this little list: 1.- Qt 5.10.x 2.- Plasma-5.12.x, 3.- Wayland support will be included (not default) 4.- Plasma-discover support for flatpak If you have a talking point that you feel meets the criteria found on the talking points SOP page at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talking_points_SOP, Regards -- Alberto Rodriguez Sanchez <hotgalan(a)gmail.com>

Qt 5.9.4 for f27 feedback
by Rex Dieter 27 Jan '18

27 Jan '18

Next big(ish) update that's worth bringing extra attention, is Qt 5.9.4 stable LTS release builds for fedora 27, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2018-3c21305b93 I queue'd it for updates-testing just now. One caveat is that there is one rebuild missing in this initial batch, ugene, awaiting feedback from it's maintainer on how best to handle that one, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1538704 Any bugs, please file and block this tracker, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=qt594_f27 If nothing blows up, will then start work on f26 builds as well. -- Rex

F27: open kcachegrind-files from folderview
by Reindl Harald 23 Jan '18

23 Jan '18

when i call something like "cachegrind.out.corecms_cached" from Konqueror all is fine, doing the same roma folderview on the desktop it opens fine *but after* you close kcachegrind you get a error message like in the attachment saying "KDEinit could not start /usr/bin/kcachegrind" why is there any difference at all and how in the world comes the desktop to the crazy idea that it was not able to open something you just closed after you are done?

Unable to change Wifi Security Settings
by Ed Greshko 22 Jan '18

22 Jan '18

I don't know if this is a new problem since I've not had to do this recently. I tried changing the Wifi security on an existing connection from WPA/WPA2 Personal. The only choice that get the "Apply" select able is None. All other choices result in Apply remaining grayed out. Am I missing a component that needs installation? -- A motto of mine is: When in doubt, try it out

Changing the graphics
by Klaus Kolle 21 Jan '18

21 Jan '18

I wonder if this is the right place to ask for some help setting up mu new laptop. If not please ignore. I've just bought a new Lenovo Yoga 920. In general I'm happy with the machine and installed Fedora 27 right away, that is my favourite desktop. My problem is that the display has 3840 x 2160 Pixels (1016 x 571 mm) in resolution - information from the kinfocentre. Everything is extremely small, but I've found in the System Settings a possibility for scaling, which I did. So now i scale the display two times and can read the text. So all native KDE applications seems to run with this scaling. But the GTK application doesn't - making them unusable. I was wondering if it was possible to set-up the graphics card to work with a HD like setting (or half the current possible number of pixels) and still use the full display. If I set-up the display to HD size in the System Settings it only uses half the Display. Do you know if that would be possible to change the basic settings of the graphics card? If so, where should I look for configuration options? Thanks in advance. |< -- Med venlig hilsen Klaus Kolle Teknikumingeniør, B.Sc.EE., e-mail : klaus(a)kolle.dk Master of IT www : www.kolle.dk Kollundvej 5 Telephone : +4586829682 / +4522216044 DK-8600 Silkeborg, Denmark "Man skal ikke tilskrive til sammensværgelser hvad der tilstrækkeligt kan forklares af inkompetence" Poul Henning Kamp Planlægning er tanker om noget man agter at gøre en gang i fremtiden, hvis omstændighederne tillader det.

Hi, The remote desktop sharing application Krfb does not work: It shows only the background image of the desktop and the menu bar of Plasma. The keyboard and mouse work perfectly but the screen is not updated when doing something. for example if I open a terminal, I do not see the terminal.

Wayland by default for Fedora 28
by Jan Grulich 11 Jan '18

11 Jan '18

Hi, I would like to discuss and propose that we as KDE SIG move forward and attempt to use Wayland as default for our KDE Spin in Fedora 28. We will have to switch soon or later anyway. With Plasma 5.12 and Qt 5.9+ the situation with wayland should be way better and given that Plasma 5.12 is an LTS release, then we have high chance that bugs we find are fixed within this release cycle. If we find out that wayland is still more unusable than usable and issues cannot be easily solved, then switching back is easy. Fedora Workstation (Gnome) has switched long time ago, here [1] you can find their proposal and even they had tons of problems at the beginning, but given that people actually started using wayland (not just randomly testing it), then I think it really helped to speed up the whole development process as people were reporting issues for use cases which the devs couldn not think of or able to test. I'm willing of course to do all the paperwork around, propose a change, write wiki page, contingency plan and so on and also attempt to help with fixing wayland issues. What do you think about this idea? [1] - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefault Regards, Jan -- Jan Grulich, Software Engineer, Desktop Team Red Hat

# F28 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2018-01-08 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Hi folks! We have six proposed blockers for Fedora 28 Beta, so let's have a review meeting on Monday. If you have time over the weekend, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F28 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you on Monday!
