installing 22 when it's available
by Glenn Holmer 14 May '15

14 May '15

I've been running development builds of 22 and keeping them patched. When the final is released, should I re-install, or can I just keep updating? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."

2015-05-14 @ 1600 UTC Fedora Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 13 May '15

13 May '15

# F22 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2015-05-14 # Time: 1600 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net As I suggested in my earlier mail, let's do a special blocker review meeting to clear out the proposed blockers and FEs that have shown up since Monday! Let's make it Thursday to give people a bit of time. We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F22 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good weekend and see you Monday!

f22 Fedup SDDM Init 5 Blank Screen
by Jimmy Collins 11 May '15

11 May '15

I've recently upgraded three computers from f21 to f22 via fedup. All three had been running Daniel Vratil's Plasma 5 packages (with SDDM as a login/display manager). Two of the three work flawlessly. One is an old Toshiba laptop running the 32- bit version, and the other is my new office laptop, a Lenovo running the 64-bit version. The third, an old 64-bit HP, fails to start in graphical mode. If I launch in init 3, I can manually start SDDM or KDE and use the machine with no other issues. Yet init 5 fails to bring up the login manager every time, leaving me with a blank screen. Hitting ESC while attempting graphical login has revealed no error messages so far. It seems to stop at a different place in the boot process each time. All three machines are running Intel graphics. Any thoughts on what I should check or reinstall? BTW, nice work everyone. Plasma 5 on f22 is shaping up to be a very nice release. Thanks! Jimmy -- Jimmy Collins (collinsjimmyd(a)gmail.com)

Please Avoid Elipses in Subject Lines
by Eli Wapniarski 11 May '15

11 May '15

Hi all I had to go and revisit my anti spam filters because of an issue I had getting mail out. I visited the mailing list webinterface and noticed I did not receive a complete thread from it. The thread began with the subject: Basic Plasma 5 Crashes... Please notice the 3 periods at the end of the line. Because my server has been inundated with efforts to spam, I received a bombardment with subject lines containing the elipse. As a result, I had to filter them out. I am sure that other aggressive anti spam filters will filter out those subjects as well. Please avoid putting Elipses in Subject Lines. Thanks -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Basic Plasma 5 Crashes...
by Ed Greshko 10 May '15

10 May '15

This bug is kind of bumming me out. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347403 I like to use "Folder View" as my desktop settings and I like to add application icons to the desktop. However, after doing that the icon isn't set correctly and right clicking then selecting "Properties" results in a crash every time. The only workaround is to manually edit the desktop file to specify the icon file. It is bumming me out since I would have thought something as basic as that would be working at this point in time. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.

Where to report this one
by Richard Z 09 May '15

Hi, when viewing certain directories with dolphin I get very annoying dialog boxes saying "parsing failed.." without enough context to tell which file was parsed and what went wrong. Looking at the debugging output it seems that it happens when kml files can't be parsed: dolphin(11499)/kio (Slave) KIO::Slave::createSlave: createSlave "thumbnail" for KUrl("thumbnail:/home/rz/Download/tallestWaterfalls.kml") dolphin(11499)/kio (KIOConnection) KIO::ConnectionServer::listenForRemote: Listening on "local:/run/user/1000/ksocket-rz/dolphint11499.slave-socket" dolphin(11499)/kio (KIOJob) KIO::SlaveInterface::dispatch: error 104 "Cannot create thumbnail for /home/rz/Download/tallestWaterfalls.kml" dolphin(11499)/kio (KIOJob) KIO::TransferJob::slotFinished: KUrl("thumbnail:/home/rz/Download/tallestWaterfalls.kml") Which compnenent is it? It is fairly unimportant whether the files can be parsed but they should never generate such annoying dialogs. Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers

Re: Plasma 5 - Right Click Desktop - Konsole?
by Rex Dieter 08 May '15

08 May '15

That's something we (fedora) patched in to kde4 (from kde3 times), but we have not yet implemented the same for plasma5. Maybe if there is sufficient demand. -- Rex ________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Gerald B. Cox <gbcox(a)bzb.us> Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2015 12:10 PM To: Fedora KDE List Subject: Plasma 5 - Right Click Desktop - Konsole? Under KDE 4 you could right click on the desktop which would bring up a menu that allowed you to open konsole. I've looked under Plasma 5 but apparently not hard enough because I can't figure out how to add it. Am I missing something or is this no longer available? Thanks!

Kernel 4.0.1/4.0.2 won't boot
by Mike Chambers 08 May '15

08 May '15

Anyone gotten the latest kernels above with nouveau video, and updated F22 to boot and kde to load? The latest kernel I can get to load and run correctly is 4.0.0-1, and have the updated libdrm package installed. I don't know if this is a KDE issue, or if nouveau driver issue or what. -- Mike Chambers Madisonville, KY "Best lil town on Earth!"
