Crashes
by Steve Grubb
Hello,
I was curious about something. KDE has its own crash handling system.
How does this community track any metrics around code stability if
upstream gets reports? Kontact has segfaulted 20 times on me today.
Each time it says it cannot generate a bug report. Abrtd does not seem
to pick up anything. Shouldn't it? How does this community track
when a recent update suddenly starts making things crash? Kontact was
fine 3 weeks ago. I updated today (3 weeks of patches) and its crashing
all the time to the point its unusable. It won't generate a bug report,
abrtd seems not to notice either.

Enable earlyoom for KDE Spin
by Ben Cotton
Hi KDE team,
Workstation enabled earlyoom by default[1] in Fedora 32. A search of
Bugzilla suggests it has been a pretty well-behaved change. How do we
feel about submitting this as a self-contained change proposal for
Fedora 33 KDE?

kwin_x11 issue - 94 to 99 % process.
by Robin Laing
Hello
I am trying to find out why kwin_x11 is using one core on my machine at
and showing 94 to 99% in top. It isn't consistent as some times this
doesn't occur. This is on F30.
I set up another account on this machine for working at home and switch
between the users being logged in at the same time.
User A and B KDE sessions are running. New user C was created for work.
I login user C and switch back to B or A and then one core goes to 94
to 99% load on kwin_x11 for user C.
If I go to a VT terminal session , the kwin_x11 load disappears so it is
related to both kwin sessions.
If I use a tree listing, there is nothing listed under kwin-x11
strace on the process provides
ppoll([{fd=11, events=POLLIN}, {fd=9, events=POLLIN}, {fd=13,
events=POLLIN}, {fd=6, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}], 5,
{tv_sec=0, tv_nsec=0}, NULL, 8) = 0 (Timeout)
strace Summary of process calls.
% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00 0.713184 6 110466 ppoll
------ ----------- ----------- --------- --------- ----------------
100.00 0.713184 6 110466 total
It does seem to be worse if I have any applications open such as Firefox
or LibreOffice.

What provides the python file Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts?
by Lester M Petrie
Hi,
I want to setup access to a live.com account, but when I click on
"Online Accounts" in System Settings, an error is returned instead of
letting me set it up. The error message follows:
Error loading QML file.
file:///usr/share/kpackage/kcms/kcm_kaccounts/contents/ui/Accounts.qml:31 module
"Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts" is not installed
which is essentially the message given in the journal. I looked at the
file and line 31 is
import Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts 0.1 as OA
The file comes from "kaccounts-integration-19.12.1-1.fc31.x86_64" which
is installed. So it looks to me like I need to find a correct
"Ubuntu.OnlineAccounts" and install it. If that is correct, where do I
find it? If not, what do I do to set up my live.com account?

KDE Windows with borders so they aren't camouflaged, please !
by linux guy
Long time KDE user. Long time Fedora user.
A while back KDE windows lost distinct visible contrasting borders. So
now if you have two windows overlaying each other of the same color
(usually white) you can't see where one window ends and another begins,
except by viewing the content of the window.
I find this really distracting. I am constantly straining to see the
edges of windows.
Please bring back distinct, visible, contrasting window borders, at least
as an option.
Thanks
PS... just totally messed up my desktop by messing around trying to fix
this.
Was testing different window styles in System Settings -> Global Theme.
Selected "Use desktop layout from theme", just to get things consistent.
Got the warning "Your desktop layout will be lost and rest to the default
layout provided by the selected theme".
I thought about that for a minute and decided it would be OK if I had to
change folder sizes, etc. No biggie.
But what I didn't realize is that it removed all my widgets and task bars
! It is going to take me a couple hours to get things back to the way
they were widget wise. Please add the words widgets and desktop wallpaper
to the warning. Desktop layout means everything about the desktop, not
just the theme stuff.

After upgrade to Fedora 32 some apps doesn't work any more
by Klaus Kolle
Hi,
I just upgraded one of my laptops to version 32. Most seems to work
fine, but a few doesn't work any more.
Starting Calibre I get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/calibre", line 20, in <module>
sys.exit(calibre())
File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/gui_launch.py", line 72, in calibre
main(args)
File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 542, in main
listener = create_listener()
File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/gui2/main.py", line 513, in
create_listener
return Listener(address=gui_socket_address())
File "/usr/lib64/calibre/calibre/utils/ipc/server.py", line 109, in
__init__
self._listener._unlink.cancel()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'cancel'
Starting dnfdragora gives after long time updating the repo files this:
Get root backend. Locked (False)
Get root backend. Locked (False)
Unexpected error: <class 'KeyError'>
<_M_> [ui] YUILoader.cc:163 deleteUI(): Shutting down UI
<_M_> [ew] YExternalWidgets.cc:116 ~YExternalWidgetsTerminator():
Shutting down mga External Widgets
<_M_> [ew] YMGAWidgetExtensionFactory.cc:49 ~YMGAWidgetFactory():
Factory removed
From this I guess the there may be something wrong with the Python
installation, but I cannot figure out what to do to fix it.
Can you give me any hints to overcome these problems?

Rawhide and KDE
by Adam Williamson
Hey folks!
So, currently Rawhide composes are failing because KDE in Rawhide is
broken: about half of KDE 5.18.90 got built, then kwin failed because
it depends on a new "kwayland" thing that is not yet packaged. See
https://pagure.io/releng/failed-composes/issue/1459 for some notes on
this. This means KDE images don't build, and as some KDE images are
release-blocking they are set as fatal in pungi config, meaning the
compose fails if any of those images fails to build.
KDE team, do we have an ETA for fixing this?
If it's not going to be fixed soon, I'd like to suggest we either
temporarily mark the KDE images as non-fatal in pungi config (so
Rawhide composes can succeed with KDE broken), or untag all the 5.18.90
builds that have been done so far. Thoughts on that?
For the future: can KDE team please consider doing this kind of major
version bump in side tags, rather than just firing the builds off
directly into Rawhide? It would avoid this kind of bear trap: if
something like this shows up halfway through the process, we wouldn't
wind up with Rawhide being broken.
Thanks everyone!
