KDE Frameworks 5 repo update
by Dan Vratil
(Sending from the correct address now)
Hi everyone,
in January me and other KDE SIG members created a Copr repository with KDE
Frameworks 5 early preview packages (more in the blog post here [0], I forgot
to send an email to this list, sorry :))
The Copr repository is available here [1], if you are interested in spec
files, they are on github [2].
Today the repo was updated to KDE Frameworks 5 Alpha 1 (a.k.a. 4.96.0). Most
important changes in the update:
* all frameworks are now installed to /usr instead of /opt/kf5
* attica-qt5 has been upgraded to Tier 1 framework Attica
* KWallet framework has been moved from Tier 2 to Tier 3
* Plasma-framework support package has been moved to Tier 3 framework Plasma
* kactivities-qt5 has been upgraded to Tier 3 framework KActivities
* KRunner libraries have been ripped out from Plasma and moved into Tier 3
framework KRunner
(Note about KActivities: upstream does not plan on making KActivities
framework co-installable with KActivities from KDE 4. For this reason,
KActivities framework is split into kactivities-libs, and kactivities-runtime.
kactiviries-libs are KF5/Qt5-based libraries that don't conflict with
anything. kactivities-runtime contains the kactivitiesmanaged daemon, that
conflicts with current KDE 4 kactivities package. However the KF5 daemon is a
drop-in replacement for the one from KDE 4 and should work just fine, but KDE
5 apps should work with KDE 4 daemon as well. Just a heads up in case you run
into problems while upgrading).
Regarding KDE 5 preview, we moved the packages from /opt/kf5 to /opt/kde5
prefix. We are also having troubles building the packages in Copr (some
problem with documentation generation) and didn't have time to look into
properly fixing it yet, so this update will come later. We will slowly
continue adding more packages, as their respective upstreams start KF5
porting.
Finally, an obligatory note that all the software in this repository is still
considered unstable and not ready for day-to-day use. The main purpose of this
repository is to provide early access to Frameworks to developers interested
in porting their applications to KF5 and Plasma 2 and allow others to take a
sneak peek into what KDE 5 will look like.
Cheers,
Dan

When you say "pulseaudio-equalizer", what did you mean exactly?

Sorry, hit send too fast... I ask mainly because this missing equalizer
module + qpaeq tool, I was thinking of packaging into a
pulseaudio-equalizer subpkg. But, darn, looks like that name is already
taken.
may use qpaeq then, but thats less-intuitive.
Follow this feature request for progress:

The equalizer functionality is not enabled in fedora's pulseaudio builds
(as it relies on extra fftw3 libraries). I'll look into fixing that.

Looks like not a kde issue here at least. It would appear the
kernel/driver is losing contact with the bluetooth device, for whatever
reason, so then bluetooth/pulseaudio fails accordingly.

KDE Bluetooth problem
by Richard Z
Hi,
until recently I was easily able to send regular audio output to my BTH12 headset,
which stopped working sometime around or shortly after the 2013/2014 break.
The BT applet in the tray shows it is connected to the headset, the headset beeps
as connected but sound goes to regular loudspeakers only. Headset also beeps when
I disconnect using the applet.
>From the syslog I am not sure where the problem is, some error messages are from
bluetoothd, another from pulseaudio and kernel.
# hciconfig hci0 up
has the effect that "Bluetooth: hci0 command 0x0407 tx timeout" appears in syslog
and some delay.

Keyboard backlight buttons on samsung laptop.
by Dragseth Roy Einar
Do anyone know how to get the keyboard backlight buttons to work?
On my samsung laptop the keys Fn+F7 and Fn+F8 triggers this
message from the kernel
[56921.236060] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2,
code 0x96 on isa0060/serio0).
[56921.236073] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e016 <keycode>' to
make it known.
[56921.442785] atkbd serio0: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2,
code 0x97 on isa0060/serio0).
[56921.442796] atkbd serio0: Use 'setkeycodes e017 <keycode>' to
make it known.
Do anyone know what <keycode> should be so that KDE will pick up
and interpret these buttons to adjust the keyboard backlight? System
Settings already have entries for adjusting keyboard backlight so it
seems to only be a question of mapping them correctly.
I can manipulate the backlight by doing
echo 0 > /sys/devices/platform/samsung/leds/samsung\:
\:kbd_backlight/brightness
Regards,
Roy.
