nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith
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.

time to orphan/retire unmaintained uncommon kde4 language bindings?
by Rex Dieter
Looking over some broken deps reports, I came across some old packages:
kdebindings
smokeqt
smokekde
qyoto (csharp/mono)
kimono (csharp/mono)
ruby-qt
ruby-korundum
perl-Qt
Of these, the only one that's not a pure leaf package is perl-Qt (debconf-
kde depends on it).
any comment or objection to considering orphaning most (all minus
smokeqt/perl-Qt) or all of these ?

Windows key to launch menu stops working
by Go Canes
I discovered in a recent update that KDE now directly supports the
"windows" key for launching the start menu. So I removed ksuperkey and the
auto-start entry, and everything works fine! Except that after some time,
it stops working.
So far I haven't been able to pin down a specific action that causes it to
break, but I am trying to do so.
Has anyone else seen this?

kmail no longer works
by Peter G.
There was a gpgme update last night and this morning I notice
that kmail doesn't work any longer.
When I start it from the command line, I get the error message:
kmail: relocation error: /lib64/libKF5Gpgmepp-pthread.so.5:
symbol gpgme_pubkey_algo_string, version GPGME_1.1 not defined in
file libgpgme.so.11 with link time reference

sddm nvidia/wayland question F25
by Robin Laing
My question is about Wayland. Using, sddm, is Xorg the default unless
you enable Wayland in the sddm.conf file?
I am about to upgrade three other machines and with Nvidia not
supporting Wayland, then I want to ensure that I can still use the
Nvidia closed source drivers.

Removing a panel widget
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I installed a package a few weeks back and added a widget to my Plasma
panel for easy access. I subsequently removed the package so the widget
now points at nothing, but I can't seem to get rid of it. None of the
right-click options seem to apply.
This can't be that hard can it?

I had a similar problem some years ago but with KDM. I had to tell it
what monitor to use on boot as there was a projector and monitor configured.
Can you get to your BIOS screen when you boot with the UHD monitor? If
not, then you have to sort that out first. You have to configure the
system to default to the UHD monitor.
On my dual monitor system at work, I get boot screen on both monitors so
I wonder if there is an issue with the ATI card.
Is this a built in video card on the mother board?
