nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 08 Feb '20

08 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

time to orphan/retire unmaintained uncommon kde4 language bindings?
by Rex Dieter 28 May '19

28 May '19

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 ? -- Rex

F26 Talking Points
by Eduard Lucena 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hi team, I'm Eduard Lucena, and I'm here in the behalf of the Marketing team. As you should know, we prepare a lists of highlights about each release, called Talking Points: Talking points are key highlights of the new release. There are different > types of talking points for different types of people: general desktop > users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. They are meant to provide a > short, effective answer to the question "What cool stuff is in the latest > release of Fedora?" They are compelling, not necessarily comprehensive > This points help us, as Marketing team, as well to Ambassadors, to publicize each release with the news and cool stuff. For this matter and this release, we have this wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points and we will be happy to include the new things in the KDE Spin. You can help us in both ways: 1. Editing the wiki directly with the points. 2. Throwing us the list, and we will put them in the wiki. Thanks in advance for your help and for your efforts.

kwin / plasmashell not starting
by Ian Malone 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Has anyone else experienced this? Fairly frequently I find that kwin on F25 is not starting on login, there are no window decorations (e.g. title bar) and all new windows start at top left with no apparent way to move them. The solution seems to be to start a console and run "kstart kwin". This morning however I didn't even have a desktop, just a cursor and an otherwise black screen. What was working was that typing brought up the command bar at the top of the screen, so I was able to start konsole. "kstart kwin" and "kstart kwin --replace" didn't seem to achieve anything (though maybe I could have waited longer), eventually tried "kstart plasmashell" and things seemed to run again. This is the nouveau driver. I've had problems on F25 with getting stuck at the splash screen ("K") after login, but adding nomodeset to the kernel line in grub seemed to alleviate that, and I was using nomodeset this morning. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk

I see that F25 will run wayland by default instead of Xorg. Will kde run on wayland?

F26 Konsole 16.12.3 lost scrollbar buttons
by Felix Miata 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Scrollbar buttons disappeared, like the idiotic GTK3 defaults. How does one go about getting them back? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Ian, your suggestion to type in "kstart kwin --replace" worked if I had a konsole open. Anything I typed was associated with the last application open. Robin

Latest update and my computer was useless unless I killed the full session. I didn't get anything by typing but I was in to much stress to even think about that. I will try that tomorrow as this is a work computer. My problem seems to occur if the system has gone into sleep mode. I set up a test account for testing a raw, clean account to see if it was related to an old configuration file that I have ran into in the past. KDE is falling apart since going to plasma and F25 has been good most of the time until these black screens have started. I won't be updating a few machines until I know that this isn't going to happen on a regular basis. Note, this has happened on F24 in the past week as well. Robin

F25, all current All I ever get it "the task was forcibly cancelled...". Manually running sudo dnf update works fine.
