dnfdragora
by Patrick O'Callaghan 17 May '19

17 May '19

After updating from F29 to F30, I now find that dnfdragora is running in my KDE/Plasma session. I prefer to update my system from the command line, so would like to inhibit this, but I don't see where it's being started. It's not among the Autostart apps, and 'systemctl|grep dnfdragora' shows nothing. A hint would be welcome. poc

Crash on kontact/kmail with the latest (testing) upgrades
by José Abílio Matos 11 May '19

11 May '19

Hi, I got a crash with kontact/kmail with the latest updates applied: It seems that the latest code triggers an assert in the malloc (I left this same information in the icu at bodhi). My workaround for the moment was to downgrade libicu to the previous version, that works.

Fedora 30, KDE, and Nouveau
by Gerald Henriksen 11 May '19

11 May '19

If I boot the live USB of the KDE / Fedora 30 the gui quickly freezes up requiring a reboot. But if I boot the regular F30 Workstation / Gnome version I can install and use (at least Gnome) fine. Any suggestions on where to start looking, or what to bugzilla?

new package review: kf5-kipi-plugins
by Rex Dieter 09 May '19

09 May '19

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=kf5-kipi-plugins Kipi plugins used to be distributed with digikam, but as of digikam-6.0 release, that is no more. kipi-plugins are now provided seperately, hence, this review. Thanks for any assistance. -- Rex

KDE rebuild for RHEL8
by Troy Dawson 09 May '19

09 May '19

I know that RHEL8 isn't out yet, but I'd like to run KDE on my RHEL8 Beta. Even if it's just the basic KDE desktop. I'm fine building it myself, but I'm having a hard time figuring out the rebuild flow. If I (or anyone) were to rebuild KDE for RHEL8, where do I start? and then what's next? There are base QT5 packages in RHEL8 beta. Do you think I would need to rebuild QT5? Or just start with RHEL8's QT5 packages. Thanks Troy

Configuring the menu key in Plasma, F30
by Marko Vojinovic 09 May '19

09 May '19

Yesterday I have installed the latest F30 from the KDE Live media onto my laptop, and so far it works great. The only problem I have is the functionality of the "menu" key (sitting in between the AltGr and right Ctrl keys on my keyboard). Apparently, pressing that key gives a popup menu at the position of the mouse pointer, as if I have pressed the right mouse button. In my usecase, this behavior is useless (I use two-finger tap on the touchpad to invoke that menu), so I want to reassign the menu key to do something else (such as opening the KDE application menu or whatever else). However, if I try to assign that key to any shortcut, instead of capturing the keypress, the popup menu appears instead. My google-fu failed me, since searching for anything involving "menu key" brings up a bunch of hits describing how to assign some key to open a menu, instead of talking about the menu key. The only relevant suggestion I found was to reassign the keycode of the menu key to some nonexisting regular key like F13, using xmodmap. But this seems to be a kludge, and I'm wondering if there is a "proper" way in Plasma to configure the behavior of the menu key. This issue is a reappearance of an old bug [1] from 2008, which seems to have been resolved in 2015, but apparently regressed again in the meantime. Any suggestions? TIA, :-) Marko [1] https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165542

kde on wayland update
by Neal Becker 05 May '19

05 May '19

On F30, I am trying again kde on wayland. This time, it seems to be quite usable! I need the virtual screens, and I'm happy to see this feature is now working. Unfortunately, I also need x2goclient, which segfaults on kde wayland client. So I guess I'll have to wait some more.

New LG Gram 17, no trackpad
by S. Bob 05 May '19

05 May '19

All; I've gone several rounds trying to install Fedora 30 (KDE Spin) on a new LG Gram 17 laptop. It seems that either it needs a windows driver to make the trackpad work, or it a Microsoft linux bomb. The trackpad works while in windows setup mode but when I boot the Fedora Live cd the trackpad no longer works. Also the live cd won't even boot unless I set acpi=off Thoughts? Thanks in advance

System Upgrade (UEFI F29 --> F30)
by Peter G. 03 May '19

03 May '19

For the very first time, I did not do a clean install: I used the dnf system-upgrade method successfully. I notice, after a few hours of use, that: - Plasma on Wayland results in a black screen. First, the desktop background appeared, then it went to black as a Korganizer to-do appeared that I dismissed and then the screen went black again. After a long wait, nothing happened. The mouse pointer worked, but no plasma desktop. - Plasma on Xorg works as in Fedora 29, when doing a fresh boot. However, when resuming from suspend, a black screen results, requiring a reboot. I have only tried this one time so far, so I do not know if it is repeatable.
