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

Strange Copy/Paste behavior in KMail 1.13.5/Kontact 4.4.8
by Steven P. Ulrick 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hello Everyone, I am using KMail 1.13.5 from within Kontact 4.4.8. Also, I am running Fedora 13 and KDE 4.5.4. All of this is fully updated. I don't know when this problem started, but when I copy something like this from any email in KMail: No. Why do you need the "full-install" DVD? and paste it into any text editor, it comes out like this: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1- strict.dtd"> <body>No.  Why do you need the "full-install" DVD?</body> If I want to copy and paste a tracking number for an item that I purchased online, it looks like this when I paste it: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1- strict.dtd"> <body>9101128882300487354725</body> In the above example, this is the procedure I followed: 1. Using my mouse, I select "9101128882300487354725" in the desired email. 2. Right click the mouse, and then select "Copy" 3. Then, I either do "Ctrl V" or "Right Click | Paste" 4. The result is always the same. I get the text that I selected, plus a whole lot HTML markup... I have KMail set to compose and send emails in text only. In my experiments so far, this only occurs when I copy FROM KMail. If I copy from any other application, and paste INTO KMail, it pastes correctly. Also, when I select and then copy "9101128882300487354725" FROM KMAIL, and then check my clipboard, it shows up in the undesired format: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "DTD/xhtml1- strict.dtd"> <body>9101128882300487354725</body> As far as I know, I didn't change anything to cause this problem to occur. I do know that up until a few weeks ago, on this same system, if (from within KMail) I selected and copied something like "9101128882300487354725" and then pasted the result into any application, I would get this: "9101128882300487354725" That is how it has always worked for me, and that is NOT how it's working for me now :( Your help is greatly appreciated.

rsync causing disk sleeps and loss of apps
by Anne Wilson 03 Feb '11

03 Feb '11

I'm trying to get rsync to operate on a number of directories, but not in a mirror situation where I can easily use an existing app. I therefore wanted to set up a shell script which can be run over the network using keychain to provide the necessary passwords. On a single box it works perfectly, but of course the network makes it more complicated. Part of the problem may be that I have followed too many how-tos, and set things up in a way that fight. First, to get keychain correctly running - Keychain is set up in .bash_profile and works. Then I read that if you are going to run a script with cron you need to eval keychain within your script as it works in its own restricted environment. This makes sense - but does that cause problems when I run tests in bash, since keychain is already running? What happens at the moment is that the script appears to start, but suddenly stops. System Monitor shows disk sleep for all the rsync threads, and several kde applications are also affected, notibly kwrite etc and dolphin etc.. To get out of the problem I have killed everything I can find related to those apps, but I still end up with having to restart the computer. Logging out isn't enough - even if I can. Sometimes it won't accept logout or even shutdown, and have to power off. Probably that's when I've tried too long to cure it. I desperately need some more experienced insight as to what is happening here. -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

BlueDevil causes slow start KDE?
by Martin Kho 01 Feb '11

01 Feb '11

Hi, When BlueDevil is enabled in rawhide and I log in into KDE it takes more time for the second 'boot-icon' appears than when BlueDevil is disabled. Also when I log out it takes more time than normal. In .xsession-errors I see a message that BluedDevil was crashed because of a fatal I/O-error. May be the slowness and crash have to do with the fact that I don't have any bluetooth adapters. I'm still using a medieval desktop pc :-) Anyone else seeing this? Thanks, Martin Kho

F14Feature: ColorManagement - is there something for KDE ?
by Michal Hlavinka 31 Jan '11

31 Jan '11

Hi, in F14 there is interesting feature - Color Management. For gnome there is gnome-color-manager, but is there any alternative I can use in KDE? Google says something about kolor-manager, but I can't find anything usefull. In system settings - display I can change rgb/gamma, but it's not enough (for monitor icc profile). Thanks, Michal

kde 4.6 udisks-daemon crash in libdbus-glib
by Christian Funke 30 Jan '11

30 Jan '11

Hi list, today i upgraded to the 4.6 packages from kde-testing and found the following problem. Whenever I try to open a file dialog or start anything filesystem related (like dolphin, usb devicemanager, etc) the system seems to hang for 20-30 seconds and my /var/log/messages gets spammed with: udisks-daemon[18250]: segfault at 18 ip 0000003ca6a0aba8 sp 00007fff28b13590 error 4 in libdbus-glib-1.so.2.1.0[3ca6a00000+21000] This also has the consequence that the device notifier is not working at all (sees no mounts). I use fedora 14 x86_64 with all updates applied from the following repos: fedora fedora-updates fedora-updates-testing kde kde-testing rpmfusion-free rpmfusion-free-updates rpmfusion-nonfree rpmfusion-nonfree-updates fedora-firefox4 (Spot repo) uname -a: Linux myhost.mydomain 2.6.35.10-74.fc14.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Dec 23 16:04:50 UTC 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux Anyone any ideas?

4.5.95 (4.6 RC2) + kdepim-4.4.9 Blank address book
by Colin J Thomson 29 Jan '11

29 Jan '11

Hi, Just giving 4.5.95 + kdepim-4.4.9 a test out and my address book shows no contacts at all. I have tried all the usual things but have drawn a blank so far. I can use the "select" option when composing an Email which use the most recent address's. My initial search on kde.bugs bought up this https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=262339 F14 kdepimlibs-4.5.95-1.fc14.i686 kdepim-libs-4.4.9-1.fc14.i686 kdepimlibs-akonadi-4.5.95-1.fc14.i686 kdepim-runtime-4.4.9-1.fc14.i686 kdepim-runtime-libs-4.4.9-1.fc14.i686 kdepim-4.4.9-1.fc14.i686 qt-4.7.1-9.fc14.i686 I'll do some more research but wonder if anyone else is seeing this? Apart from this in my short time of testing 4.6 RC2 tonight its looking good.. Colin -- Fedora release 14 (Laughlin) Registered Linux user number #342953

Device Notifier
by Peter G. 28 Jan '11

28 Jan '11

I last used my external hard drive about 2-3 days ago, and device notifier asked me if I wished to mount it. I just tried the same in rawhide, and it also asked. Rawhide is updated to today's status, including kde-4.6. However, in F14, also updated to today's status, including kde-4.6, device notifier no longer recognizes that the external usb hard drive has been plugged in and no longer asks me what I wish to do.
