nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 08 Feb '20

08 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? [11:43:09.317] (II) GREETER: Loading file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml... [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: 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 20 Feb '18

20 Feb '18

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 16 Feb '18

16 Feb '18

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 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

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? |< -- 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.
