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 ?

Emacs key binding in KDE Plasma 5?
by Sherman Grunewagen
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?

SDDM Themes not working
by Gerald B. Cox
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?
[11:43:09.317] (II) GREETER: Loading
file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml...
[11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER:

directory
[11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER:
file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml: No such file or
directory
[11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: Fallback to embedded theme
Wanted to see if there was a quick fix or if this is known before I create
a bug report.
I didn't see anything on bugzilla, but might have missed it.
Thanks!

Amarok does not stop playing
by Florian Sievert
Hi there,
I am having some strange observation here. Not sure when it actually
started as I normally quit Amarok when not using it. However, when I
choose "Stop" instead, Amarok starts to fade out the music that it it
currently playing. However after a few seconds (when it normally should
stop), it starts to play it again. I can repeat this and it just stops
when quitting the application.
I didn't find any bugs that sounds like this one. So I am asking here
for help. Running KDE on Fedora 27 (64 bit). My guts feeling is that
this might be something related to dbus and its restarted by some event
or a signal is not communicated correctly. Anyone observing this as well
or can give advisory how to debug this further?
Best regards,
Florian

Fedora27: KDE-Plasma/networkManager: Ethernet interfaces set to
100MBits/sec half duplex
by Terry Barnaby
I have just noticed that quite a few of my systems now have their
Ethernet interfaces running at 100 MBits/s half duplex rather than the
expected 1GBits/s.
I think some update has caused this to happen, probably about 10 days
ago (noticed something was slow). These are KDE/Plasma GUI systems but
I'm not sure if this is due to a change in KDE/Plasma, NetworkManager or
something else.
On these systems the KDE/Plasma NeworkManager settings GUI interface now
has an "Allow auto-negotiation" checkbox which I don't think was there
before and it looks like this is set to non-auto, 100MBit/s, half duplex
by default if there is no ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg on" in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* file and on initial setting of a
network interface.
I guess this is a change/bug in the KDE-Plasma network manager applet.
Where should I file this bug ?

Menu-panel crashes
by Klaus Kolle
Now and then my menu-line crashes but all the applications keeps
running. I will come back when I restart the desktop.
I can call Alt-F2 to get a prompt to start a new program. I wonder which
program to call to restore my menu and system tray panel - I can't
remember the correct name for the panel with the Fedora button and all
the rest...
Is it possible to restart that panel? If, how?
