Upgrade to Fedora 21 (to be) - problems with akonadi
by José Abílio Matos
Hi,
yesterday I decided to upgrade to Fedora 21, soon to be in Alpha. It all works smoothly and my only problem was with akonadi and thus with kmail.
Where I got
[ERROR] mysqld got signal 11 ;
The full error log is available as attachment.
Since despair is not an option I searched for help and I got to this page about Arch and the same problem:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=184192
After reading I decided to remove the ~/.local/share/akonadi/mysql.conf
log out and log in and voilá I am again an happy camper. :-)
FWIW, as reported in the link above, there is not any difference between the file that I had removed (moved actually, not that it matters) and the new file placed there. I suspected that the absence of that file triggers the right procedure.
I hope this helps others.
Regards,

Switch User broken
by Patrick O'Callaghan
KDE 4.13.3, Fedora 20 up to date.
Switching sessions to a different user works. Switching back to my
original KDE session doesn't. I just get a blank screen and have to kill
KDE or restart the system. AFAIK this is a recent bug as I have used the
switching feature with no problems over a number of years.
Could possibly be systemd-related, but that's just paranoia.
Has anyone else seen this or should I BZ it?

You mean switching back via CNTL-ALT-F1 (or whatever your VT was),
doesn't work?
If not, I'd suspect an X (or video driver) issue first.

compress context menu
by Reindl Harald
what is the provider of the "compress" context menu?
i have here
* zip
* rar
* tar.gz
so it recognizes that rar is installed
why don't it offer tar.bz2 and tar.xz?
at leat tar.bz2 is much better then tar.gz and has
the advantage that it is widely supported

Interestingly, I've seen pam-kwallet apparently not working right with
kdm too recently (@work, so maybe NFS $HOME may have something to do
with it for me).

SDDM doesn't unlock gnome-keyring?
by Juan Orti Alcaine
I'm testing SDDM and I've seen gnome-keyring is not unlocked when starting a
session. It works fine with KDM
Is only me, or someone else has experienced this problem? I remember to have
touch the pam configuration of kdm in the past, but sddm has its stock config.
I have this in /etc/pam.d/sddm
auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so
auth substack password-auth
-auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
-auth optional pam_mate_keyring.so
auth include postlogin
account required pam_nologin.so
account include password-auth
password include password-auth
session required pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_console.so
-session optional pam_ck_connector.so
session required pam_selinux.so open
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke
session required pam_namespace.so
session include password-auth
-session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start
-session optional pam_mate_keyring.so auto_start
session include postlogin
And this in /etc/pam.d/kdm
#%PAM-1.0
auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so
auth required pam_env.so
auth substack system-auth
-auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so
auth include postlogin
account required pam_nologin.so
account include system-auth
password include system-auth
session required pam_selinux.so close
session required pam_loginuid.so
session optional pam_console.so
-session optional pam_ck_connector.so
session required pam_selinux.so open
session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke

KMail bloat
by Timothy Murphy
I recently noticed that email send through KMail seems somewhat bloated.
Eg I have sent a 1-line message "Testing ..." (plus signature)
through KMail and through mutt.
The two emails have sizes
KMail 3408
mutt 1836
The difference is due to the addition of the code below
at the end of the KMmail message.
Is this additional material a necessary consequence of using KMail?
or is it due to some configuration choice that I have inadvertently made?
Additional KMail code:

vboxnet0 constantly tries to connect
by Sudhir Khanger
Hello,
Genymotion/VirtualBox created a new network entry vboxnet0 that constantly
tryies to connect even when I am already connected to the internet. I have to
regularly disconnect it.
I can mark it to not connect automatically and make it not available for all
users but I don't intend to break Genymotion or VirtualBox virtual machines.
If that is a possibility.
I am not sure what to look into to resolve this issue. Any pointers would be
nice.

KMail and mbox
by Timothy Murphy
I have an old mail file in mbox format,
which I'd like to bring to my KMail inbox.
What is the simplest way to do that?
(All my KMail folders are in maildir format.)
