nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 08 Feb '20

08 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

F22 comments
by Patrick O'Callaghan 05 Jul '15

05 Jul '15

Just installed F22 using fedup from F21. See the Users list for a couple of general comments. Regarding KDE: 1) The Plasma session restore bug is still present. 2) SDDM is still broken (no gnome-key support) so I use KDM. Luckily it still works on F22. 3) I get a crash report on each login from kf5-kactivities. I have no use for Activies in Plasma but the package can't be removed because of Plasma dependencies. poc

KDE session pauses
by Roderick Johnstone 02 Jul '15

02 Jul '15

Hi Since this morning, me and my users have been seeing pauses in our KDE sessions on F22. Symptoms are that typing in a terminal stops for a second or two every few minutes (at irregular intervals). Sometimes the pause is longer than other times. You can still move the windows around. Active pings to other hosts also pause but eventually write the expected output as if nothing had happened - normal ping times, no lost pings. I've done a lot of tests and think I've eliminated network hangups to the nis server and home disk hang ups (home disk are local but looked up over NIS). Everything works as normal in an XFCE session, its KDE thats affected. It seems that konsole and emacs i/o thats paused. Probably other termianls/editors would pause too but I haven't tried them. BBC news channel also goes buffering for a moment, but with the spinning symbol. There were no obvious KDE updates last night, just a handful of other packages. Anyone else seeing this kind of behaviour? Thanks Roderick Johnstone

I have 2 monitors (laptop + external). If I close laptop lid, system will sleep. Now disconnect hdmi to monitor. Now open lid. lock screen is displayed. But there is no way to enter the password. I can move mouse around. Caplock is responded to. But I can't enter any characters into the password field. Only thing I can do is switch to VT, and do systemctl restart sddm.

Camera recognition / device notifier

plasmashell oddities
by Ed Greshko 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

I've experienced a couple of oddities with regards to plasmashell that I A) Wonder if anyone else has seen and B) how to capture information for debugging in the event something similar happens again. These have only happened one time each but they still "bug" me as I think they, or something similar, may happen again. 1. Everything disappeared from the systray. It I could still see the outline but nothing else. Restarting plasmashell brought everything back. 2. I run dual monitors. Suddenly the background and the Home and Trash icons were gone. I though the display had been powered off or when to sleep. However, I could drag a konsole window to the "blank" display and it displayed just fine. Again, restarting plasmashell brought everything back. Currently running plasma-workspace-5.3.0-4.

Restarting selected apps
by Patrick O'Callaghan 28 Jun '15

28 Jun '15

This morning I updated my system as usual (using dnf on F22) and one of the packages changed was xapian-core-libs. Dnf suggested I manually restart baloo_file and dolphin. Two thoughts: 1) Given that baloo_file is started automatically, I don't know how to restart it manually. Just executing the command gives: $ baloo_file Bananana Error Serious Error: Error opening table `/home/poc/.local/share/baloo/file//termlist.': Unable to read revision from /home/poc/.local/share/baloo/file//termlist.baseA Unable to read revision from /home/poc/.local/share/baloo/file//termlist.baseB DatabaseOpeningError: Error opening table `/home/poc/.local/share/baloo/file//termlist.': Unable to read revision from /home/poc/.local/share/baloo/file//termlist.baseA Unable to read revision from /home/poc/.local/share/baloo/file//termlist.baseB I've no idea what any of that means. In fact I have only a vague idea that baloo has something to do with desktop search, a facility I absolutely never use. The only time I ever hear from it is when crashes, which is several times a day. Removing it would only seem to remove a bunch of kde-pim apps which I don't use either. Is this safe? 2) Dolphin is part of my normal session start-up, so there must be a record of how I want it to look without me having to kill it and recreate the various windows by hand (or log out and in again). It would be nice to be able to do that via a Plasma menu or even a Shell command. Does anyone think this is worth an RFE? poc

digikam/kmail in kde4 EL7 COPR

Rex - Would you might building digikam in your kde4 copr? The version of digikam in epel requires older libraries that are superseded by your copr. Also - kmail requires spambayes which appears to be gone. It would be nice if the kdepim splits made it to the copr so I didn't need to have kmail installed.

Re: GTK3 theme in KDE on F22

GTK font sizes
by Ed Greshko 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

Is there anyway to control the font size of GTK+ applications in the new plasma5 environment? Use to be in system-settings within fonts you checked that GTK+ applications should use the KDE settings but that no longer exists. Also, if you go into GNOME and use gnome-tweak-tool you can change the settings but they are not picked up going back to KDE. Would like to make my fonts in T-bird just a little be larger. -- Sorta what I want to say when folks habitually complain about Fedora - https://youtu.be/ZArl8fTfub4

pyhoca gui tray icon in Plasma 5
by Orion Poplawski 24 Jun '15

24 Jun '15

See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225142 pyhoca-gui icon does not appear in KDE system tray on Fedora 22. This appears to be due to a shift in system tray implementations. See http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2014/06/where-are-my-systray-icons/ I'm still not sure if this is a purely distro issue or if pyhoca-gui should be doing something different.

Window redraw issues after latest Kf5 updates
by Patrick O'Callaghan 22 Jun '15

22 Jun '15

This morning I updated my F22 system (only stable Fedora repos), which included multiple Kf5 packages. After rebooting, I find that window redraws are frequently messed up. This happens both on switching desktops and simply raising a window on an existing desktop. Occasionally the switching process leaves traces of the previous desktop on the new one, and windows are only partially redrawn. Both switching and raising are accompanied by rapid flashing between the old and new states for a fraction of a second before settling down. I have an Nvidia graphics card, using the Nouveau driver. AFAIK Kwin was not one of the updated packages. I used to be able to look at /var/log/yum.log or run "yum history" to check, but dnf has changed all that though no doubt it's still possible somehow (the dnf manual is a model of obscurity on this point). poc

T-Bird compose problem - KDE only
by Ed Greshko 18 Jun '15

18 Jun '15

This is a very odd problem. It happens for me on a newly installed F22 as well as an F21->F22 upgraded system. Start an instance of Thunderbird and konsole. In T-Bird pick "write" and then enter several lines of text in the body of the message. Then do an ls or something in knosole to get some text. Copy and then paste this text below the text you've just typed. Position the cursor at the start of the pasted text and hit backspace a few times. Instead of the text being shifted up, a line of text will be deleted. So far, this seems to only happen with text taken from konsole. If I copy/paste text from Chrome I will not see this problem. Can someone try this to confirm? I think it should be a konsole BZ but not certain.

Hi. A week or so ago I discussed the Quassel package on fedora-kde IRC. The 0.11.0 package available in the Fedora repos contains an security issue. See http://quassel-irc.org/node/127 for details. According to Rex the Quassel package maintainer tuxbrewr is no longer active. Since then I use an updated package from https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/heffer/quassel/ No problems so far. Could anyone of you with the appropriate rights please push that package as update to F21, F22, and Rawhide? Not only does it fix the security issue, it also comes with Qt5 support and a systemd service. CC'ing Heffer who maintains the Quassel COPR. Markus

kdewallet problem

Just upgraded on my main system from F21 to F22. Everything went pretty smoothly and I'm finding and adjusting things that changed due to the upgrade. One thing I've not been able to figure out, and which worked on my VM's, is how to get to manage my old kwallet. I need/want to run the old version since I use Chrome and it uses the old version. I was using a gpg encrypted wallet but there seems to be issues with that. So, before the upgrade I exported my wallet to xml and moved the walllet files. When Chrome started, it prompted to create a new wallet and did that just fine. Now I want to import the old contents. But when I try to run Konsole outputkwalletmanager Konsole outputkwalletmanager kwalletmanager it goes into the "background" and no gui appears.

Klipper question F21
by Colin J Thomson 14 Jun '15

14 Jun '15

Hi, For some reason some actions in Klipper have stopped working, for example when highlighting a URL a pop up would appear asking to open the URL. On checking the Actions tab in Klipper there are no Actions listed. Are these actions part of Klipper (kde-workspace) or from another file. I'm wondering if something got missed when I reverted back to KDE 4. kde-workspace-4.11.18-3.fc21.x86_64 Colin -- Fedora 21 - (Twenty One) Registered Linux user number #342953

KDE SIG and FESCo & Council elections
by Germano Massullo 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

As announced in https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel-announce/2015-June/001594.h… at 23:59 UTC on June 14th, the nominations period for FESCo and Council elections will end. My opinion, in a few words, is that some people of the KDE SIG should partecipate in the elections because the KDE SIG is a great community inside the whole Fedora community. What do you think about?

sddm RebootCommand
by Ed Greshko 13 Jun '15

13 Jun '15

There is a problem to shutdown or reboot a system if the network in use is wireless and there are nfs mounts. I believe what is happening is that the network is being closed before the unmounts. I think I should file a bugzilla against systemd but..... I found that if I issue this command from the command line the system will reboot properly. /usr/bin/umount -a -t nfs4 ; /usr/bin/systemctl reboot So, I modified the sddm.conf to have this line RebootCommand=/usr/bin/umount -a -t nfs4 ; /usr/bin/systemctl reboot The reboot process still hangs and messages about "nfs server not responding" are displayed. Shouldn't this work? -- Sorta what I want to say when folks habitually complain about Fedora - https://youtu.be/ZArl8fTfub4

Prevent sleep on lid close at login prompt
by Ed Greshko 12 Jun '15

12 Jun '15

Running F22 on an Acer laptop. When logged in to KDE one can set power management to do nothing on a lid close. How can this be accomplished when sitting at the sddm login prompt? At the moment, a lid close will cause a sleep condition. -- Sorta what I want to say when folks habitually complain about Fedora - https://youtu.be/ZArl8fTfub4

Restricting mime types handled by kpartsplugin for firefox
by Roderick Johnstone 10 Jun '15

10 Jun '15

Hi Anyone know how to easily restrict the mime types that the firefox plugin part of kpartsplugin handles? I need to configure this system wide for all users. I'd just want to use it for embedding pdf documents in firefox using okular, but it seems to want to handle loads of other mime types too. Thanks Roderick Johnstone

Konsole won't save my settings
by Dhaval Anjaria 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

When I create a new profile or make changes to one, Konsole will not save any of that and simply revert back to the old profile. I can't even have the menu show both profiles because that it won't save that selection either. Does anyone know what I can do here?

kde plasma/breeze problems
by George R Goffe 09 Jun '15

09 Jun '15

Hi, I have made my system (Fedora 22 x86_64) up to date with DNF, rebooted and started KDE from run level 3 with startx. There are still things that still don't work. 1) menu->systemsettings does nothing that I can see. NO menu appeared. 2) I have a laptop display and a Samsung TV as monitor 2 but the settings are not a dual monitor. The Samsung has nothing on the bottom, I have "auto hide" set. Hovering the mouse pointer over where the menu (bar/panel?) should appear produces NO activity. 3) The desktop right button click now works for a while but is currently non responsive. Any hints/tips/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, George...

qtwebkit update problem in SL6
by John Pilkington 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

I just updated my SL6 32-bit laptop, which hadn't been used for several weeks. It seems to work well but libwebp cannot be updated because qtwebkit-2.3.3-1 requires libwebp.so.4 instead of the libwebp.so.5 now on offer.

Update logs?

When packages are updated by using the "apper" icon in the systray where are the logs?

Xorg at 100% cpu when screen is locked (after a while)
by Roderick Johnstone 08 Jun '15

08 Jun '15

Hi I'm seeing Xorg take 100% cpu, sometimes, when the screen is locked. Under that condition my password doesn't unlock the screen any more. It doesn't happen immediately when the screen locks, but sometime later. Actually I've just turned the screen locker off to see if its going to happen without the screen locker on as well. I'm using the proprietary nvidia driver 304xx-304.125 so I know I haven't got a leg to stand on... .xsession-errors has: QXcbConnection: XCB error: 3 (BadWindow), sequence: 31517, resource id: 79691778, major code: 18 (ChangeProperty), minor code: 0 and if I strace Xorg I see: --- SIGALRM {si_signo=SIGALRM, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_value={int=809121587, ptr=0x54552036303a3733}} --- rt_sigreturn({mask=[]}) = 77929408 --- SIGALRM {si_signo=SIGALRM, si_code=SI_KERNEL, si_value={int=809121587, ptr=0x54552036303a3733}} --- rt_sigreturn({mask=[]}) = 77960128 for ever. Anyone else on nvidia drivers see similar behaviour? Thanks Roderick Johnstone

Fedora 22: Mouse scrolling too slow on KDE text editors
by Syam Krishnan 07 Jun '15

07 Jun '15

Hi.. I just installed Fedora 22, KDE edition. I find that mouse scrolling is too slow (as in it only scrolls a few lines) in KWrite and Kate. But it's OK in Okular, Firefox, Thunderbird and Qt Creator. I found a "Mouse wheel scrolls by" setting in System Settings, but changing it from "3 lines" to "8 lines" does not seem to have an effect. Anybody else noticing this? If I were to file a bug for this, what do I file it against? Thanks, Syam

Broken icons
by Mattia Verga 06 Jun '15

06 Jun '15

Hi, I've put a folder view applet on my desktop set to show the Desktop folder. At login I get broken icons for Trash, Home and for a device link, while base link icons to folders are fine. Selecting to refresh the folder view doesn't fix the problem, but if I edit properties of Trash or Home, icons are reloaded correctly. Is anyone else seeing the same behaviour? Thanks Mattia

One thing I'm seeing after update to f22 when using knode, in the article list view, I'm used to opening/closing threads by just click on them. Now it seems expand/collapse threads only is bound to 't', not mouse click. I can't see how to change it.

KDE on CentOS 6.6
by zohouri.h.aa 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

Dear all, I hope this is the correct place to ask about this. I have been desperately trying to somehow install a version of KDE newer than 4.3.4 on CentOS 6.6 and during my searches, I came upon the following page: http://kde-redhat.sourceforge.net/ I followed the instructions on the page (enabled EPEL and added kde.repo to /etc/yum.repos.d/) but when I try to update KDE, I get the following dependency resolution issues: Error: Package: okular-part-4.11.2-1.el6.x86_64 (kde) Requires: libepub.so.0()(64bit) Error: Package: kdesdk-4.11.2-1.el6.noarch (kde) Requires: okteta >= 4.11.2 Available: kdesdk-okteta-4.10.2-1.el6.1.i686 (kde-i186) okteta = 4.10.2-1.el6.1 Error: samba4-common conflicts with samba-common-3.6.23-14.el6_6.x86_64 Error: Package: 6:kdeutils-minimal-4.11.2-1.el6.noarch (kde) Requires: kwallet >= 4.11.2 Available: kwallet-4.10.2-1.el6.i686 (kde-i186) kwallet = 4.10.2-1.el6 Error: Package: kde-runtime-libs-4.11.2-2.el6.x86_64 (kde) Requires: libwebp.so.4()(64bit) Error: Package: qtwebkit-2.3.3-1.el6.x86_64 (kde) Requires: libwebp.so.4()(64bit) Error: Package: okular-4.11.2-1.el6.x86_64 (kde) Requires: kio_msits = 7:4.11.2-1.el6 Available: kio_msits-5.2-5.el6.2.x86_64 (epel) kio_msits = 5.2-5.el6.2 Error: Package: nepomuk-core-4.11.2-3.el6.x86_64 (kde) Requires: libepub.so.0()(64bit) Error: Package: kdesdk-4.11.2-1.el6.noarch (kde) Requires: lokalize >= 4.11.2 Available: kdesdk-lokalize-4.10.2-1.el6.1.i686 (kde-i186) lokalize = 4.10.2-1.el6.1 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem Considering the fact that this mailing list seems to be affiliated with the aforementioned website, I was hoping someone would be able to help me resolve this issue.

firewall configuration not working (no connection - waiting)
by Neal Becker 04 Jun '15

04 Jun '15

I think it was working before, but not now. If I open firewall configuration from launcher, it is grayed out. I believe it should open a dialog asking for a password (for sudo), but it doesn't. I believe when I've used it before it did that. I don't see any messages in .xsession-errors or /var/log/messages that look relevant. I did try logout/login.
