Dolphin can´t see a fuse-mounted drive
by Patrick O'Callaghan
I have a cloud drive (Google) mounted using rclone. This works from the
Shell and from Nautilus, but Dolphin shows the directory (folder) as
empty.
Is this a known bug?

F35 Final blockers in plasma-discover
by Adam Williamson
Hey folks! Just wanted to check in and highlight that we have rather a
few F35 Final blockers in plasma-discover at the moment. These are the
ones not confirmed fixed in plasma-discover 5.23:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011291
"Discover shows a misleading state of Flatpak repos, can't delete disabled repos"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011333
"Toggling repo in Discover doesn't redraw the checkbox, confusing users"
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2011322
"Discover doesn't seem to find any RPM packages, neither locally installed nor in RPM repos"
It would be great if folks can contribute in any way to getting these
resolved, or contribute further testing and data. Particularly in the
case of 2011322 we seem to have different testers seeing different
things there - Kamil and Lukas report seeing the buggy state, myself
and Geraldo were not able to reproduce it - so it would be good if
others can test and see if we can figure it out (it's possible perhaps
that the bug only happens if repo metadata is not yet fully
downloaded).
If some believe some of the bugs should not be considered release
blockers, it is possible to re-evaluate that with a reasoned
justification.
Thanks everyone!

KDE critical path definition
by Adam Williamson
Ahoy KDE folks!
I noticed today that the KDE critical path definition is almost empty:
https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/blob/main/f/comps-f35.xml.in#_741
compare to the GNOME one:
https://pagure.io/fedora-comps/blob/main/f/comps-f35.xml.in#_707
this means that most KDE updates aren't tagged as critical path, even
if they could completely break the desktop. I think it'd be appropriate
to have packages that could plausibly result in the desktop being
entirely broken added to that category, but I don't know enough about
KDE to know which are reasonable candidates. Could someone take a look
at this? Thanks!
Updates being critical path requires them to meet slightly higher
minimum thresholds to be pushed stable, and it would also cause openQA
to run its update tests on them, which would be useful validation I
think.

List of packages for plasma mobile
by Troy Dawson
I'm looking to see what it would take to add plasma mobile to epel8-next,
but I have one major problem.
There is no list of packages, anywhere.
At least not that I can find. Not in Fedora, nor in the plasma mobile site.
Please. I think I've been patient enough. Take some time today, write
them down, reply back to this email.
I'll even put them in the comps.xml file to finish this ticket.

Gtk windows not being rendered?
by Ian Pilcher
I'm seeing this fairly frequently with new Thunderbird windows
(probably because I have T'bird configured to open messages in new
windows), and I just saw it in Firefox.
Basically, I'm seeing only the frames (plus windows decorations, shadow
effect, etc.) of new windows drawn. The actual contents of the window
don't get drawn for several seconds or minutes *or* until I force
"something" to happen. For example, clicking on a different window to
remove focus from the new window will cause its contents to be drawn.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
I am using X11 with an old AMD GPU.

** UPDATE ** 2021-10-08 @ 16:00 UTC - Special Fedora QA Meeting:
Wireplumber Decision
by Adam Williamson
UPDATE: first time in eleventy billion years, and I messed it up...this
meeting will be in #fedora-meeting-1, not #fedora-meeting, because ELN
is using #fedora-meeting at that time. Apologies.
# Special Fedora Quality Assurance Meeting
# Date: 2021-10-08
# Time: 16:00 UTC (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/UTCHowto)
# Location: ** #fedora-meeting-1 ** on irc.libera.chat
Greetings testers! Well, this is exciting. I've been doing this job for
approximately eleventy billion years, but I think this is the first
time I'm going to run a special meeting!
Today FESCo considered[0] a proposal[1] to trigger the contingency plan
on the Fedora 35 Wireplumber change[2], which would mean going back to
pipewire's own simple session manager. The decision they reached was
that they'd give the maintainers until Friday to make improvements to
Wireplumber, and on Friday, we (QA) get to decide if we think it's good
enough to be shipped for Final. If by Friday we think it's not going to
be in good enough shape for release, we'll immediately revert to the
simple session manager - the changes to do so will be prepared and
ready to go if necessary.
This meeting will be at 16:00 UTC, which is 9am timezone, to give me
enough time to check in on the status of all the bugs before we get
started.
Anyone interested is welcome to attend, and I expect we'll make the
decision by rough consensus without worrying too hard about bureaucracy
or who's allowed to have an opinion. If it somehow turns out to be
especially controversial I'll try and come up with a voting system on
the fly, if it gets really bad we can bounce it back to FESCo.
== Proposed Agenda Topics ==
1. Should we revert to the simple session manager, or stick with Wireplumber?

Kinoite Suggestions
by Mustafa Muhammad
Good evening everybody,
I've been testing the new Kinoite iso for F35, I have some notes and
suggestions, I wanted your comments before I create them in
https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issues
* NetworkManager-ppp is not installed by default, this left me without
Internet (here in Iraq, we mainly use PPPoE), it is installed in the
usual Fedora KDE spin, I hope it gets added to Kinoite too.
* No graphical text editor is installed by default, I think we need
Kate installed (or KWrite, although I really really prefer Kate), and
hopefully vim too, I know I can layer it, but it's widely used and I
think it should be there by default.
* Qt5 QDbusViewer is installed by default, I don't think this is
needed in the default install (not in Kinoite nor in Fedora KDE spin),
I usually uninstall and exclude it (it gets pulled with distrosync),
can't do this here.
* Add Okular, Gwenview, KolourPaint, and a media player (preferably
not dragon, it's too basic).
* Already reported, hopefully it gets implemented in time:
https://pagure.io/fedora-kde/SIG/issue/94 (including the filtered
Flathub view) by default.
I think Workstation want to enable the view only if the user enables
third party repos, not sure what KDE SIG wants to do.
* Add usbmuxd to default install so that iPhone Internet USB tethering
work (both Fedora KDE spin and Kinoite), I was stuck then this post
saved me:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/ocn6ko/usb_tethering_with_ios_14...
What do you think?
Best wishes.
Mustafa
