nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith
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.

Yawp
by Mike Chambers
Will yawp yet work with plasma 5/Newer KDE in Fedora 22? I know it
was built for it back in August I think, but it requires an obsoleted
kde-workspace-libs or whatever.
Or am I missing something?

Disintegrating desktop
by Timothy Murphy
I'm running Fedora-21/KDE on my laptop.
The window I'm watching frequently disintegrates
into 8 separate windows, corresponding to my 8 virtual desktops.
I know this is caused by moving the mouse into some area.
But I cannot think of any occasion when it would actually help.
Is there any way of turning this facility off?

add 'move to screen' to panel menu
by Neal Becker
It would be very helpful if 'move to screen' was on the menu on the panel.
In the window decorations there is 'move to desktop' as well as 'move to
screen', but on the panel there is only 'move to desktop. Is this possible?

Calendar/KOrganizer, F21: select a valid collection first?
by Richard Z
Hi,
trying to add an event I get the message
"select a valid collection first"
There is nothing obvious in the dialog where I could select
any collection. On top of the dialog window is a "Calendar"
dropdown which unfortunately does not drop down when clicked.
I did use the Calender in previous versions of Fedora but not
since I upgraded to F21.
Thanks for any hints,
Richard

Ark Unar/Unrar
by Sérgio Basto
Hi,
Last thread about unrar talks about unrar of rpmfusion , but to work
correctly we should have unar (without one r) that is free .
repoquery unar -i
URL : http://unarchiver.c3.cx/commandline
Source : unar-1.8.1-5.fc21.src.rpm
Description :
The command-line utilities lsar and unar are capable of listing and
extracting
files respectively in several formats including RARv3. unar can serve as
a free and open source replacement of unrar.
BTW ark from Fedora 21 just works with unar and shouldn't be a package
require of ark ?
Thanks,

Plasma 5 and KDE Workspaces in F22
by Ed Greshko
Are there plans to allow for both Plasma 5 and KDE Workspaces to coexist in F22?
Currently, that seems not possible due to, at least, Network Manager components being obsoleted by Plasma 5 installation.

Password policy changes
by Adam Williamson
Hey, folks. I'm writing with my Server SIG member hat on, here. We've
been discussing password policy changes at our meeting today.
So the Great Password Policy Bunfight of 2015 was resolved by anaconda
creating a mechanism for products/spins to set their own password
policy:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/commit/8f24eeaedd7691b6ebe119592e...
I'm slightly worried, however, about the possibility that everyone
goes out and picks a more lenient policy more or less at random and we
wind up with different policies on every Fedora medium. That seems
like it'd be needlessly confusing to users and difficult to document.
I'm wondering if those products/spins intending to set a policy weaker
than the default could all agree on the same one, so there'd only be
at most two policies to care about (and if all products/spins overrode
the upstream default, there'd only be one).
The obvious choice would be the pre-F22 policy, which I believe should
be:
--nostrict --minlen=6 --minquality=50 --nochanges --emptyok
(though it's not *entirely* clear from the code - I think it used
pwquality upstream defaults - so I may be a bit off).
What's the general feeling here? Have other SIGs discussed this yet?
Come to any decisions? Thanks!
