KDE on RHEL 8
by Syam Krishnan
Hi
What is the recommended method to install KDE on RHEL 8?
I tried adding EPEL repo and did:
yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces"
But this fails with:
================
Error:
Problem 1: conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
Problem 2: package sddm-breeze-5.18.4.1-2.el8.noarch requires
plasma-workspace = 5.18.4.1-2.el8, but none of the providers can be
installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
Problem 3: package plasma-desktop-5.18.4.1-2.el8.1.x86_64 requires
plasma-workspace >= 5.18, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
Problem 4: package kde-print-manager-19.12.3-2.el8.x86_64 requires
plasma-workspace, but none of the providers can be installed
- conflicting requests
- nothing provides xmessage needed by
plasma-workspace-5.18.4.1-2.el8.x86_64
================
Do I need to do anything else to install KDE off EPEL? or is there
another source?
Thanks

Introducing myself
by Fernando Santos
Hi there,
my name is Fernando. I'm from Brazil. I'm currently a Fedora Ambassador,
but I want to contribute to the Plasma/KDE's Spin.
I'm working as a software developer at FIOCRUZ, the organization that makes
vaccines for many diseases and viruses.
So, how can I help the Plasma/KDE Spin to build and test the latest release
of Qt and KDE framework. How to empower the Fedora's KDE/Plasma community
with the 2Fs -> Features and First??
I need a guide, I need someone to show how to make things at Plasma/KDE
better.
Can you help me??

Fedora 33 Beta Secure boot issue
by Alex Thomas
Thought I would try the beta out on my laptop again (had tried it on
test week, but had to revert due to platform.io not working) Getting
error of : " Secure Boot Image failed to verify with * ACCESS DENIED*
"
It worked on the btrfs test week, so I am unsure what went wrong.
Laptop is Lenovo T440p.
I filed a bug, but the best component I could find was Grub2.

KRunner question
by Todd Hesla
A couple weeks ago I upgraded from Fedora 28 to Fedora 32 (with KDE in both).
Unfortunately, KRunner now comes up with the clipboard contents in the text box,
whereas before upgrading, it always came up with an empty box.
How can I get KRunner to come up with an empty text box (rather than with the
clipboard contents)?

Plasma + sddm
by Frédéric
Hi,
I'm running Plasma + sddm on F31. Since a week, I try to use the
computer with multiple users and then I log off before the other user
logs in. When I log off, the screen just freezes. I can switch to a
console screen with Ctrl+Alt+F2 and kill all processes of the first
user (systemd, agent, sddm_helper) until I get the login screen again.
Very annoying.
Is there a way to make it work?
Kind regards,
F

Selecting user using mouse on SDDM screen
by Syam Krishnan
Hello,
Is it possibe to select a user using the mouse from SDDM login screen? It
shows available users in big circles (with photos), but the only way to
select a user is to use left and right arrow keys. There is no effect of
clicking on the circles. I thought its a quirk of the default Fedora theme
and tried another from 'get new theme'. But that too has the same behaiour.
Is this a theme thing? Or does SDDM interface only support selection by
keyboard?
I feel the UI makes us instinctiely think that selection can be made by
clicking.

What's loading Dolphin?
by Mark ＠ GMail
Every time I start Fedora it loads Dolphin, which I don't want.
Where should I look for it doing that (so I can stop it)?
I also notice that, even though I've closed it, there's still a (small)
dolphin process running... what's that about?
Thanks in advance
