Update oddity
by Ed Greshko
Today day I did an update and many qt5 packages were updated. As I always do after an
update I ran "tracer" to see if a session restart is suggested. In this case it wasn't
and I continued on. Throughout the day I didn't start any new applications and everything
hummed along just fine.
It wasn't until later in the day that I brought up ktorrent. It failed when trying to
select the destination directory for a torrent I wanted to download. Gave an error
message saying a "protocol" failed and the dialog box that normally shows the directory
structure was blank.
Anyway, I guess "tracer" can't detect when applications starting in the future will "fail"
due to updates. But is there anyway, other than making it a SOP to restart one's session,
to inform users that they should logout/login?

Why is oxygen-icon-theme retired?
by Christian Dersch
Hi all,
today a got some mails of broken dependencies in Rawhide, for example
quassel:
quassel has broken dependencies in the rawhide tree:
On x86_64:
quassel-0.12.4-1.fc25.x86_64 requires oxygen-icon-theme
On i386:
quassel-0.12.4-1.fc25.i686 requires oxygen-icon-theme
On armhfp:
quassel-0.12.4-1.fc25.armv7hl requires oxygen-icon-theme
Please resolve this as soon as possible.
Reason: oxygen-icon-theme was retired. What is the reason for this? And
what is the suggested fix for packages using it?
Greetings, Christian

Proposing QupZilla as default browser for Fedora 25+
by Christian Dersch
Hi all,
as we have QupZilla 2 in Fedora 24, which uses QtWebEngine (based on
Chromiums rendering engine) and everything works very well here, I'll
propose it as the new default browser starting with Fedora 25. We
already have it in Fedora 24 spin as a preview (be sure to update to
2.0.1 before using it), but the default is Firefox right now.
Some features:
* Qt5 based => Integrates perfectly in Plasma
* Able to use KWallet (we have to add package qupzilla-kwallet to spin)
* Adblocker included
Even though Fedora QtWebEngine is shipped without proprietiary or
patented codecs, most stuff like Youtube just works fine. It is also
possible to replase QtWebEngine by a self-compiled one with all codecs
without rebuild of QupZilla (maybe an option for rpmfusion?), then
almost all pages work (not the ones using Flash, it is possible to use
Chrome Flash Plugin).
I know many use Firefox and are also power users of this browser. My
intention is to bring new users a well integrated experience of Plasma
and for most users QupZilla will be fine. Of course people who prefer
another browser like Firefox can install it after installation ;)
What are your opinions?
Greetings,
Christian

Sound hardware support
by GERHARD GOETZHABER
It happened on reboot after regular update of Rawhide this morning: No more audio output than dummy - on a system I installed a four days ago and till today having been working noby to describe than excellently evenly together with a lot of proprietary driven periphery (Eaton UPS, Canon colour laser demanding UFRII printer language, Epson photo scanner, WebPAMPRO-managed SAS-RAID with PMC Sierra chip)! I could just recognize a somehow cryptic info on the later shutdown screen that reported system's difficulties with interrupt 16.
My machine is a self-assembled one with a FX6300 on an original (no R2) Sabertooth FX990 just operating the inbuilt Realtek sound chip ALC892 only connected for analog stereo output - nothing that exotic I think.
Another bug within that is the reaction to the reboot button in Plasma suddenly just acting as logout so afterwords on login screen I had to call reboot once more.
As I have read in Fedora forums there seem to appear sudden problems with audio on former editions of Fedora (at least on V.24), too, and few month ago though happened on a kernel older a lot I littered Centos because of quite a similar event. But especially with KDE I see Fedora 25 presenting itself the very best OS I've ever tried out, so I don' want to miss it and I hope for tomorrow morning's or at least one of the next updates getting that fault corrected.
I couldn't find out how to report a bug more directly towards Rawhide's maintainers but i strongly hope for finding this message it's best way ,,,

Re: kde-settings overrides user selected choice
by Rex Dieter
The intent is that it's supposed to use Fedora icon by default, but manual user switching should stay

So, is that what you intended to do. I was using the breeze kicker and after application
of this update I was unceremoniously switched to the Fedora logo. Easy enough to switch
back but was this the intent?

KMail and Sendmail
by Timothy Murphy
Can I use sendmail with KMail on my Fedora-24/KDE laptop?
If so, how do I configure it?
IIRC, there used to be a Transport option where one could choose sendmail.
