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

display calibration
by Mattia Verga 25 Jul '20

25 Jul '20

In KDE System's Settings there's the Color Corrections panel for setting up monitor profile. When selecting the display, a warning is displayed saying something like "Gnome Color Management is needed to calibrate devices". Now, I have Gnome Color Management installed: > $ dnf list installed gnome-color-manager > Pacchetti installati > gnome-color-manager.x86_64 3.36.0-1.fc32 @fedora but still the message is displayed. Is something else supposed to be installed for make it work?

choqok 1.70 rhbz#1851805
by Gerald B. Cox 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

I opened a bug report to have this package upgraded to 1.7.0, and it's been sitting about a month now. I reached out to the listed maintainer and he said he hasn't touched the package in over a decade. I can take ownership if no one else wants it. choqok 1.7.0 allows for tweets longer than 140 characters and includes mastodon support. Thanks!

Telepathy - What is it needed for?
by Robin Laing 23 Jul '20

23 Jul '20

Hello, I am having some issues with kwin using lots of CPU when locked. I am trying to trace down the issue and found out that there is a service running and I want to know more about it. What is Telepathy and why do I need it? I am also seeing some upstream bugs associated with it and showing up on one of the machines around here. From what I see, it is associated with Instant Messaging but I want to confirm before I remove it. Robin

Fedora KDE Defaults (Minor Tweaks & Improvements)
by Berk Dogan 05 Jul '20

05 Jul '20

Hi all, Hope everyone is doing well. I'm writing this email to share a few ideas on how we can make Fedora KDE an even better out-of-the-box experience than it already is. To put it simply, there are a few eyecandy tweaks to be made and this would transform the already decent experience. *GTK Theming* Since KDE Plasma uses Breeze and the colour scheme can be reflected on both Qt and GTK applications, the GTK theme, "breeze-gtk" is a good to have by default. This would make OOTB theming much more consistent and would eliminate the step of downloading it later. *Fonts* I think we can use a smoother and cleaner font. The default one /works/ but we can do better. What about using Fira Sans, Roboto or Cantarell? The first two work really well in Plasma and look nice in GTK applications too, Cantarell is also good as it is included by default. Typography is very important, by using a nice font face while keeping it "free as in freedom", it would improve the overall user experience. That's about it really. Overall this is a solid distro, if we can implement these two things, I think the overall experience can be much improved. I was thinking of proposing the idea of using LibreOffice over Calligra suite but using them both, I can't complain about the KDE alternative. Keep it up folks! :) If I can help with anything, please let me know. Best regards, Berk * *

[SOLVED] Re: Yakuake background blur
by Alex Gurenko 02 Jul '20

Wow, perfect, thanks. It applied blur right away after enabling the script. That was quick and easy. --- Best regards, Alex ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Thursday, July 2, 2020 2:05 PM, Aaron E <pizzadudedotca(a)gmail.com> wrote: > You can use the third party Kwin script "Force Blur" for this. > > https://store.kde.org/p/1294604/ > > On Thu., Jul. 2, 2020, 7:50 a.m. Alex Gurenko, <agurenko(a)protonmail.com> wrote: > >> Hello everyone, I'm wondering if there is a trick how to enable KDE blur on Yakuake background? >> I saw in git there were patches for Yakuake back when blur was introduced, but to this day being on latest updates-testing packages by Yakuake still uses old transparency rather than blur. >> >> --- >> Best regards, Alex >> >> _______________________________________________ >> kde mailing list -- kde(a)lists.fedoraproject.org >> To unsubscribe send an email to kde-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org >> Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ >> List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines >> List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org

Yakuake background blur
by Alex Gurenko 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if there is a trick how to enable KDE blur on Yakuake background? I saw in git there were patches for Yakuake back when blur was introduced, but to this day being on latest updates-testing packages by Yakuake still uses old transparency rather than blur. --- Best regards, Alex

pulseaudio requirement
by Orcan Ogetbil 02 Jul '20

02 Jul '20

Hi all, I wanted to ask why plasma-workspace requires plasma-pa? On every big update I have to remember that I need to delete the pulse executable to get stuff working again. KDE just works fine with pure alsa. I'm typically doing packaging on the audio engineering side of Fedora and I use Fedora for production purposes. I have no interest in spending time to get pulseaudio work right for every scenario on all computers I use. There's always a glitch somewhere. Can we drop the dependency, or, at least, is there a more elegant workaround I can use to make KDE not spawn pulse? Not sure if I need to file a bug for this. Thanks, Orcan
