dnf warning - who is to blame?
by Ed Greshko
I want to have 24hr time so used system-settings to select "Defaut C" in the "time".
This results in "LC_TIME=C.UTF-8" when I run dnf I get the following warning message.
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C
If I export LC_TIME=C I don't get the warning.
So, is dnf to blame or is the setting of C.UTF-8 incorrect?

user creation differences
by Ed Greshko
When a system is installed from scratch and a user is created during the install process the user will find themselves with a layout of "Desktop" when they login for the first time.
However, if you create additional users either via the GUI or command line the layout will be "Folder View".
Some may find that inconsistency annoying. Was this planned to be the case?

wallet migration
by Ed Greshko
I have a gpg encrypted wallet on my F21 system. I just tried a migration in F22 and it failed to decrypt the wallet. As a matter of fact, it didn't even ask me for the pass-phrase for the old wallet. Is this type of migration unsupported?

Gonna be a little irritating again Sorry
by Eli Wapniarski
Please everyone... I am not trolling or trying to start a debate. I am
just stating my own very personal views with the following.
I will start and end with the same statement.
My comments here in no way reflects the exceptionally good work and
repsonsiveness of Fedora's KDE Team.
This is the first time that I can remember that I am not looking
forward to the next release of Fedora.
I have done a bit of fiddeling with plasma 5 and I must say as a long
time KDE user I will not be upgrading to Plasma 5 on my main office or
home systems given its current state. It is buggy, missing many
features that I have become accustommed to and I have no way to work
around the issues.
While the individual issues that I have discovered may be minor, add
them all up together with all the problems and issues that have been
posted recently means some obstruction to my work flow.
I will list the problems:
no screensaver
clock on the system tray takes up way to much realestate resizing
windows causes my windows to black until I click the app on the task
switcher to minimze and then restore
I cannot set my regional settings to the country where I live without
changing the language of interface. I want it to remain english.
kdepim has not been ported to the new library set yet.
The text contrast kicker cannot be altered.
The American flag for the keyboard switcher is distorted
Like I said these issues are minor, but these issues are a reflection
of a very very cursive look. I would hate to see what I would find if
I did some real QA on it.
Again, my comments here in no way reflects the exceptionally good work
and repsonsiveness of Fedora's KDE Team. I am looking forward to when
Plasma 5 becomes more feature complete and stable. I am very confident
that the Fedora KDE team will get those out to us as soon as those
positive changes will become available.
Thanks for listening :)

System time synchrony
by Temlakos
Does Plasma synchronize the system time with any Network Time Protocol
server?
Can the user even adjust the system date and time, short of rebooting,
entering BIOS setup, and keying in the time by hand, while synchronizing
from another device?
I always counted on the NTP time synchrony to synchronize all my other
clocks. Now I don't have that any more. Or did I miss something?

Plasma freezes related to Desktop Theme
by Ed Greshko
I am only testing F22 thus far in a Vbox VM. I would appreciate it someone could try this on real HW.
I found that if I install the Desktop Theme "Polished Stones" that almost anytime I get a notification in the systray the tray will become non-responsive for several minutes. Cannot use the launcher for example.
It can be tested by "getting new themes" searching on polished and installing "Polished Stones". Then starting firewall-config from the launcher.
Thanks
