time to orphan/retire unmaintained uncommon kde4 language bindings?
by Rex Dieter 07 May '25

07 May '25

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

Crashes
by Steve Grubb 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hello, I was curious about something. KDE has its own crash handling system. How does this community track any metrics around code stability if upstream gets reports? Kontact has segfaulted 20 times on me today. Each time it says it cannot generate a bug report. Abrtd does not seem to pick up anything. Shouldn't it? How does this community track when a recent update suddenly starts making things crash? Kontact was fine 3 weeks ago. I updated today (3 weeks of patches) and its crashing all the time to the point its unusable. It won't generate a bug report, abrtd seems not to notice either. -Steve

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

Not able to hook to internet on ADSL line
by Srikanth Hannabeprakash 02 Feb '20

02 Feb '20

Hi I am having a cable internet with ADSL network. I don't have any router. I want to connect to internet using this connection. I used to have windows 7 ultimate before. There I used to add new connection in the network center. Then I select broadband. Then I used to see a broadband connection icon in My Networks. This I would right click and add a shortcut to the desktop. I open it in the desktop and enter my login and password. That's when I get connected to the internet. I recently migrated to the Fedora Scientific OS with KDE Plasma desktop. I don't see broadband or ADSL or Cable Internet options in the Network settings. There only wired/802.11/IPv4/IPv6 are the options. I have ethernet wired connection without any modem with append 10 GBps. I don't see option to use wired connection with login credentials. That option is there in 802.11 option. I tried everything but nothing seems to work.

The version update
by Mikhail Ramendik 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

Hello, So I have been having a lot of stability issues mid-Fedora-release-cycle with KDE on Fedora. And if I heard it correctly on the grapevine, the reason might be that KDE does new releases in the middle of the Feora cycle and these immediately get pulled into released Fedora. Is this really correct? And if so, could someone enlighten this relative newcomer (long-term Linux, but not so long Fedora) why this decision was taken? AS Fedora is not a rolling release, I would kinda expect new KDE to go into N+1 alpha/beta first? Thanks! -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization

KDE EPEL8 plan
by Troy Dawson 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

My apologies for not listening to others about KDE on EPEL8. As promised, this will be an open discussion. What I propose will just be a suggestion. People have correctly pointed out that it would be best if we do not have the main KDE in epel8 be a module. It would make things more stable and compatible if we used the QT5 packages from RHEL8 as our basis, and go from there. With that in mind, these are the things that I think are good ideas. * No kde4 or kde3 * Follow the KDE LTS branches as much as possible. ** qt5 *** There are about 10 packages that have to stay at 5.11 due to RHEL's packages. The rest get built with 5.12.x *** If RHEL8 updates their qt5, adjust with them. *** https://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.12/ ** plasma *** Follow the same LTS stream as qt5 (currently 5.12) *** https://download.kde.org/stable/plasma/5.12.9/ ** kf5 *** Pick a stream and stick with it ?? *** I don't know of kf5 having an LTS stream. *** Try to keep all the kf5 packages at the same stream *** https://download.kde.org/stable/frameworks/ ** KDE apps *** Let the version be the decision of each app maintainer ??? * For qt5, plasma and kf5, have a group be the the maintainer. * For the apps, let it be maintained by either a group or individual. Depending on the app. What do people think? Troy

Re: Using bold fonts in Konsole
by George R Goffe 29 Jan '20

29 Jan '20

Ed, Thank you for your help. The bold was working for me... I couldn't see it because the difference between font intensity was REALLY slight. I tested some of the other modes like italics and reverse and they worked so... There you have it. Thanks again for your help, George...
