Fedora KDE contributors -- do you need ARM hardware?
by Matthew Miller
Hey all. We have a program to help get Fedora OS more broadly tested on ARM
hardware. While Fedora IoT is the main focus, we also have some budget to
supply small devices directly to project contributors who are working on
Fedora KDE Plasma Desktop. If this would help you, let me know (off-list).
I'll need your shipping address and which device (or possibly devices) you
could use from this list:
Jetson NX
Jetson Nano
Pinebook Pro
RockPro64
The Raspberry Pi 400 is also an option, but be aware that this is not going
to be magic and smooth and probably doesn't even work right now, so I'd
prefer to reserve those for people with experience in hardware enablement.

Fedora33: Okular slow keyboard paging
by Terry Barnaby
I have just updated to Fedora33 and am now trying to fix all of the
issues./bugs that "progress" brings!
If you use the PageUp/PageDown keys to navigate through a PDF document
with the new Okular, it now slow scrolls. This makes it very difficult
to quickly page through a document to get to where you want (some
datasheets are +500 pages). Normally I would just hold the PageDown and
it would fly through the document, now its about one page per sec which
is hopless
Is there a way of turning this delay off ?
Also any one know if there is a way to make Okular always start up at a
default screen size rather than start up at the last used size ?

EPEL RHEL8 - Missing documentation for several Qt classes
by Syam Krishnan
Hello,
I've been trying to build a customized workstation ISO for RHEL8 with
KDE and Qt development packages. I'm almost done, but just today I
noticed a serious problem - the Qt documentation is missing lots of Qt
classes. I have installed all "qt5*doc" packages. I have found that the
compressed help files (qch) from some of these are much smaller than the
files from Fedora 32 package.
I have filed a bug report on Fedora EPEL against qt5-doc.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1905755
Does anyone have any idea why this is so?
Also, I have noticed that all qt5 packages from RHEL are v5.12.5 while
many from EPEL are v5.12.8. The doc packages, however are v5.12.3.
Thanks and regards,
Syam

F33 - KDE broken after dnf update
by Sreyan Chakravarty
Hi,
I just did a 'sudo dnf update -y' on my Fedora 33 KDE system and now KDE is
completely broken after reboot.
Now when the system starts up, after I enter my password in SDDM I get a
message: "The application kde5 has requested to open the wallet kwallet5.
Please provide password"
I thought this was strange the first time, but then I saw KDE not even
starting, my wallpaper did not load, the taskbar was not there. But I could
use the terminal.
Hence I got the journalctl logs:
I found some misconfigurations after the update:

(This is the abbreviated log)
Full log below:
https://pastebin.com/raw/uiLWKLya
Those who don't want to look at the logs here are some interesting entries:

Missing battery status
by Neal Becker
F33 with all current updates. This year account has been through many
fedora updates. Now it seems the battery status widget is not shown in the
system ready area. It is not shown when I show the hidden widgets. How do
I get it to appear?

Multi GPU support on KWin Wayland
by Robert-André Mauchin
Hello,
I've got a new laptop with two GPUs, one using amdgpu, the other
nvidia-drm drivers. The external DisplayPort/HDMI ports are connected to
the nvidia card, so I think I would need to run Kwin Wayland using the
nvidia-drm driver instead of the amdgpu one. Is there a way to specify
which driver has the priority to run KWin so I can use external displays?
Best regards,
