nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 07 Feb '20

07 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

Kate not installed by default on Fedora 16
by Sonic 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi.. I just found out that Kate was not installed by default on Fedora 16 even though I had selected 'KDE Software Development' during installation. KDevelop is installed, but not Kate. Was this a concious decision or a mistake? regards, Syam

Just installed f17. Right click on desktop, desktop settings. There is 'beefy miracle'. Select the image. Try 'apply' or 'ok'. Nothing happens. Background is still black.

Mouse Clicks
by Peter G. 27 May '12

27 May '12

Has anyone noticed that for a bout a week mouse clicks are almost impossible? Sometimes a single click opens a program twice, sometimes a single click will not tick/untick a button until it is done 4 or 5 times, sometimes it is almost impossible to drop down a drop-down menu with a mouse click, etc.

Non-working global shortcut
by Anne Wilson 27 May '12

27 May '12

My laptop has been away for repair. When it came back there was no paperwork - I've no idea what was done to it, but there are a couple of very strange things. Of course, the first thing I did when it came back was update, so it's possible that something there is involved. 1) Not important, but strange - the panel clock was 1 hour wrong. 2) My defined shortcut to launch kpat, my chosen lunchtime relaxation, no longer works. I deleted it and redefined it, but no joy. The clock business is just a curiosity. Short of messing with the bios setting I can't think why that would be. I'd really like to get the shortcut working again. What could interfere with that? Anne -- Need KDE help? Try http://userbase.kde.org or Http://forum.kde.org

Worth a bugzilla?
by Ed Greshko 24 May '12

24 May '12

Looking for an opinion..... I've verified a bug on 2 fully updated F16 systems. It involves KDE, ibus, and LibreOffice but I suspect it is a KDE problem since it works in GNOME. The problem no longer exists in F17. So, the question, is it worthwhile to submit a bugzilla against F16 when you know the issue doesn't exist in F17? -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage

Good experience with calligra
by José Abílio Matos 24 May '12

24 May '12

Hi all, probably this is the wrong place for this comment but since I am overloaded with work it should be better here than nowhere. :-) I am quite pleased with calligra import of docx documents, sometimes my students send me docx documents with math formulas (or related) and I have been able to read them with calligra suite but not with libreoffice. Note that this is only for reading and not writing or editing or whatever. I should also say that I have written tips to explain them that pdf is a better format for file transfer FWIW. Regards, -- José Matos

Amarok 2.5.0 has a bad memory leak
by Gerald B. Cox 22 May '12

22 May '12

Just an FYI in case like me you leave amarok running at times... don't.... Amarok memory leak when changing tracks https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=298627 Easily reproducible - just load up a playlist and select the repeat playlist option. The only plugins I am using are mass storage device and lastfm. I ran the following command to document the leak: top -b -d 150 -p 11866 > amarok.txt I then imported the results into a google spreadsheet you can view here: http://goo.gl/Q4bZw Memory utilization started out at 7.4% and ended up at 31.9% after approx 48 hours. The leak is steady and unrelenting. I ran the same playlist under QMMP during the same period and memory utilization was steady at 2.5% throughout the period.

kdewebdev forever QT3
by Reindl Harald 22 May '12

22 May '12

hi does anybody now if kdewebdev will be ported to KDE4/QT4 the for me only important app is "/usr/bin/kfilereplace" and the dependencies are really large for one small tool besides the additional work upstream to maintain the more or less dead QT3
