clipboard on wayland
by Neal Becker 17 Jun '20

17 Jun '20

I'm trying plasma/wayland on F32. It seems clipboard doesn't work. In an app, such as google chrome, selecting text the \C-c, nothing shows in the clipboard. Also \C-v does not paste. I'd include the list of wayland-related rpms, but I can't cut/paste them :) -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*

layout issues with digikam-7.0.0-0.6.beta3.fc32
by Chris Rouch 14 Jun '20

14 Jun '20

I have a recently updated F32 box (dnf system update for several releases now). I use digikam, and with 7.0 beta2 everything looks as I expect (i.e similar to F31). But with beta3 the layout seems broken. Everything looks bigger than it should be, and it is not possible to shrink the left and right panes, so that with both open digikam resizes to be bigger than the monitor, and the thumbnail/preview pane is much too thin. Is this something I can fix in settings, or is it a bug? If I revert to beta2, it all seems fine again. Regards, Chris

To me, KDE has always been the home for creatives, and it shows with the excellent Qt/KDE based software for auditory and visual creativity. From my perspective, KDE is the environment that creative people can feel at home in. > The other reason for switching away from Plasma is the overall negative > attitude I see from Fedora KDE users and former Fedora KDE > contributors.

However, one thing I have been very disappointed about is the attitude of some folks who are not actively involved or contributing to Fedora KDE disparaging virtually everyone else and the work they do. In general, it's very much against our tenants, our expectation of being excellent to each other, and our philosophy as a community. As a member of many major groups in Fedora, including the KDE SIG, I do not personally tolerate such disparagement. If there is a technical foundation for disagreement, then there's something to discuss, but personally attacking people is never okay.

ICE Connection rejected!
by Garry T. Williams 06 Jun '20

06 Jun '20

An annoying bug since upgrading to F31 has been various forms of "ICE Connection rejected!." I first saw it when I double clicked an image file in Dolphin. A pop-up told me about DCOP server not running (whatever that is, I thought). Then I noticed that similar errors occurred when opening other file types from Dolphin. And finally, I could not start ksensors any more due to the same error. This was reported a long time ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1768193 but remained unresolved. That was probably due to the confusion caused by the reporter's running stuff as root. But I found that the error goes away, if you unset XDG_RUNTIME_DIR. Apparently, some component involved in this error doesn't know to look in that directory for whatever it wants. Perhaps someone here can take this to a real fix. -- Garry T. Williams

Notification sound
by Klaus Kolle 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hi, on my Fedora 32 KDE spin I have no notification sounds. In the panel "Audio Volume Settings - Plasma" On the tab "Applications" I cannot move the notification sounds slider - it jumps back to zero. Can I unlock this somewhere else? |< -- Med venlig hilsen Klaus Kolle Teknikumingeniør, B.Sc.EE., e-mail : klaus(a)kolle.dk Master of IT www : www.kolle.dk Asger Jorns Vej 17 Telephone : +4522216044 DK-8600 Silkeborg, Denmark "Man skal ikke tilskrive til sammensværgelser hvad der tilstrækkeligt kan forklares af inkompetence" Poul Henning Kamp Planlægning er tanker om noget man agter at gøre en gang i fremtiden, hvis omstændighederne tillader det.
