xembedsniproxy killed by SIGSEGV
by Sudhir Khanger 25 Jan '16

25 Jan '16

Hi, xembed system tray stopped working on my system. It crashes as soon as system starts. The apps like Dropbox continue to run without the system tray icon. I see there are a lot of bugs filed against it but no upstream bug at bugs.kde.org. None of the bug reports have any comments. Is this a downstream bug in Fedora? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1297568 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282070 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280018 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1280339 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1291026 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282152 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1282214 -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com.

Fedora 24 Idea for "KDE Plasma Workspaces" group install
by Erik Beck 24 Jan '16

24 Jan '16

I would like to suggest that for Fedora 24, rsyslog be removed from the "KDE Plasma Workspaces" installation group. While a system logger is needed for any workspace, I don't think that having this package as part of the group is a good idea. I installed Fedora 23 as a Gnome system. I have then overlaid Cinnamon and KDE onto it so that I can experiment with all of these options. When I went to install KDE Plasma Workspaces, it wanted to install rsyslog as part of the group. Problem is that I had syslog-ng installed, rsyslog conflicts with syslog-ng, and I very much prefer syslog-ng. So I had to figure out a way around the problem. Eventually I was able to install Plasma by picking out a few key packages and installing them with their dependencies. This procedure of installing KDE would have been quite a bit easier if I didn't have to work around the rsyslog conflict. Hence my suggestion for dropping that from the installation group. Thanks, Erik

KMail bad feature: remembered email addresses
by Timothy Murphy 23 Jan '16

23 Jan '16

I normally give email addresses with name first, eg Timothy Murphy <tim@...>. But for some reason, KMail does not remember email addresses in this form. If I start "Timot..." it throws up several absurd suggestions, but not the email address (with name) that I have used 100 times. In fact the whole KMail/Kontact "recollection system" strikes me as third-rate or worse. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

KDE5: Filemanager C&P behavior
by Reindl Harald 22 Jan '16

22 Jan '16

select -> CTRL+X -> CTRL+V results in asking for a filename and then places the paths there like below - well, that's primary pretty cool (while it makes no sense for *cut* at all) but that should be *really* placed into a conextmenu entry instead enforce CTRL+X/CTRL+C twice when you really want to move/copy *files* file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453421039.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453421615.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453421673.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453421788.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453422258.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453426924.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453427178.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453428785.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453434365.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453434783.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453435281.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453438223.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453438412.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453442279.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453444769.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453445055.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453445551.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453446173.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453448049.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453454520.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453454667.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453455840.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453456011.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453456478.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453460171.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453460253.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453462440.eml file:///downloads/honeypot-2016-01-22-1453463335.eml

Kmail and KWallet not working together
by Armelius Cameron 20 Jan '16

20 Jan '16

Hello, After my last upgrade, Kmail/Kontact and Kwallet are not working together correctly. Upon login, somehow I got prompted with a Kwallet Migration box asking for my Kwallet password. Given the password, the box throw an Error -3: probably not a Kwallet file (or something like that), and ask for another password. After several tries I had to hit Cancel to get rid of the box. Then when I open Kontact, Kmail asks every password of my accounts (presumably because it cannot obtain them). I tried 'editing' Sending account and made sure I checked the box "Save password" to try to re-save the password, but it still won't work (Kmail ask password again if I close it and re-open and try to send email). However, if I open manually KWallet Manager, I can see all of my Kmail IMAP passwords there. The only application connected to the wallet is however Kwalletmanager5. Any suggestion on how to fix this ? Thanks, AC

qBittorrent random freezes
by Patrick O'Callaghan 15 Jan '16

15 Jan '16

I normally keep a qBittorrent session open on my desktop, but for the past week or so I find it's been freezing, i.e. unresponsive to button events. I have to kill and restart it. This doesn't seem to happen when downloading a torrent (at least not so far) but at random quiet times. An strace on the process shows: $ strace -p 29850 strace: Process 29850 attached futex(0x5632009da984, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, NULL^Cstrace: Process 29850 detached whereas normally it would get a continuous series of polls and read/write calls. This is qbittorrent-3.3.1-2.fc23.x86_64, installed nearly a month ago and working up until 6 days ago. The only change in the interim has been daily system updates including kf5 and Plasma, so I suspect that's where the problem might be. I reported this to the qBittorrent bug page but have had no answers in nearly a week, see https://github.com/qbittorrent/qBittorrent/issues/45 35 Any thoughts on how to debug this would be welcome. poc

Konsole does not scroll properly
by Brad Hubbard 11 Jan '16

11 Jan '16

Noticing with f23 and konsole5-15.08.3-1.fc23.x86_64 that when I scroll past the bottom of the terminal window some lines disappear. So instead of everything scrolling up some lines just get erased. Ahhh... looks like it's known... Just FYI then. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=356723 Cheers, Brad

Are drkonqi, kactivitymanage and klauncher supposed to be leaving core* files here on each plasma session exit? I just updated F24 on host hpg33. Plasma started with startx doesn't ever get done (no shell prompt), leaving on last screen line kdeinit5: Communication error with launcher. Exiting! ps -A at that point lists among other things kactivitymanage and kglobalaccel5. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
