nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 07 Feb '20

07 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

by Reindl Harald 05 Apr '16

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214782 that's not much funny if you are playing around with a own theme and restart the service multiple times or after updates as recently openssl you need to kill the zombie processes manually

DBus error from kdeinit4
by Patrick O'Callaghan 29 Aug '15

29 Aug '15

After updating my system today I decided to follow the recommendation from tracer and restart kdeinit4 to see what would happen (normally I would just log out and in again). $ kdeinit4 kdeinit4: Shutting down running client. Connecting to deprecated signal QDBusConnectionInterface::serviceOwnerChanged(QString,QString,QString) KDE Daemon (kded) already running. kbuildsycoca4 running... kbuildsycoca4(9927)/kdecore (services) KServicePrivate::init: The desktop entry file "ServiceMenus/servicemenueditor.desktop" has Type= "Application" but is located under " "services" " instead of "apps" kbuildsycoca4(9927) KBuildServiceFactory::createEntry: Invalid Service : "ServiceMenus/servicemenueditor.desktop" kbuildsycoca4(9927) VFolderMenu::loadDoc: Parse error in "/home/poc/.config/menus/applications-merged/xdg-desktop-menu-dummy.menu" , line 1 , col 1 : "unexpected end of file" What does this mean? Could it be related to the fact that Plasma and Kmix crash every time I log out? poc

Problems logging out
by Roderick Johnstone 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

Hi I've previously reported problems logging out of kde sessions in F22, but that was when I was using the nvidia drivers from rpmfusion: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1238698 I'm now seeing something very similar on nouveau and intel driver systems (with the nvidia driver though there was a 100% cpu ksmserver process which I don't see now): On my nouveau driver system, after selecting logout I got the dimmed/vignetted screen but no confirmation dialogue to click on. It hasn't timed out either, so I'm currently still working on the vignetted screens (dual monitor setup). Another of my users who is using the intel driver on his system has the dim screen (but apparently not vignetted) after trying to log out - no logout dialogue either. Anyone else see this? I wonder if its due to being still logged in after the qt5 5.5 updates came in? If there is any diagnostic info I can get I'd be happy to bz it. Roderick

can't login more than once
by Glenn Holmer 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

This just started happening: I log in, and the progress bar freezes before showing the desktop. The journal shows a core dump for kactivitymanage. I can delete ~/.kde/ and I'm able to login again... once. When I log out and then back in, it freezes again. How do I get out of this? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."

[radeon] plasma screen corruption/nothing to click on except crash notifier -> black screen
by Felix Miata 28 Aug '15

28 Aug '15

host fi965 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] RV370 [Radeon X600/X600 SE] using radeon driver F23 x86_64 freshly dnf upgraded from last same about 10 weeks ago (4.2.rc8 kernel) initial screen corruption eventually clears to black plasmashell PID 1621/1667/1687 segmentation fault (11) multi-user.target startup -> startx IIRC, theme selected is whatever alternative to Breeze was found, likely Oxygen If I un-disable compositing (set via xorg.conf*), crash notifier never appears, and screen corruption remains until Ctrl-Alt-BS .xsession-errors is not being written no BRC bug on point less than 5 months touched last found After clicking off notifiers, screen goes black. No response to Ctrl-Alt-BS with keyboard configured via default /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/00-keyboard.conf. Ctrl-Alt-Fn works. Ctrl-Alt-BS works after fixing 00-keyboard.conf and restarting X. IceWM works normally on same installation. F22/KDE works normally on same host. Tumbleweed works normally on same host, though it's still using as much of KDE4 as remains available, Breeze is not there used, and Oxygen fonts are not there installed as a form of locking out Plasma5. Same problem on same host with freshly upgraded Rawhide. Prior kernels 4.1.rc2 and 4.0.rc4 didn't help. While in 4.0.rc4, something exhausted freespace on EXT4 F23 /. On reboot, it recovered to 37% free of 4.8G total, and dnf clean all brought free to 39%. I replicated with variation on host big41 with rv380 radeon, but by incrementally dnf upgrading and starting after each increment. On the 5th group, kf5*, the trouble started. Excerpt from dnf.log containing the cuplrit: http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/F/dnflog-badKF5.txt The variation on host big41 (F23) is that the splash/desktop background and progress window paint instead of the screen corrupting. Post-crash the background is black. I shut it down, moved the VGA cable to the onboard Intel 4000 port, removed the rv380, and the problem disappeared (1440x900 @108 DPI). I shut it down again, installed a G84 (GT8600), put VGA cable on its #1 DVI port via adapter required for the LCD, and the problem remained gone (working 1440x900). I shut down again, put in an ATI Cedar, connected the VGA cable to it, and again booted to a working 1440x900 Plasma desktop. To follow up, I went to an ATI Radeon rv200 installation, dnf upgraded its (30 July) F23 to today's, and it works as expected, before and after today's upgrade. Suggestions welcome, not sure whether this should have gone to xorg list, test list, devel list, somewhere upstream, or straight to BZ, instead of here in kde. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
