Hi, I randomly have an issue where having logged in to KDE from SDDM, the KDE desktop with icons displays for a little while, and then it shuts down to the SDDM login screen again. What do I look at to determine why?

Maybe start by looking at the journal (e.g. 'journalctrl -xe'). You could also ask on the Fedora KDE list.

Hi Patrick, Just an off topic question, I've switched to a new email address which I have registered for this mail list and subscribed to the mail list without creating an account (because I couldn't get the account creation to accept my passwords) because my normal email address no longer works (my ISP transferred email processing to a company that charges for the service and I haven't paid for it), and I am having an issue where I get emails sent to the list from other subscribers but I don't see any I send. I have your response in this thread, but I am yet to see my original message in the list. Do you know why this would be occurring? I've sent 4 emails to the list this morning and I'm yet to see any of them.
regards, Steve

I'd recommend you contact the list maintainers directly at users-owner@lists.fedoraproject.org
You can also of course use the execrable HyperKitty web interface, which I cordially detest.

If you mean your mail to the list maintainers has been received (not bounced) then have a little patience. As a list maintainer myself (on the Evolution list) I know it can take a while to get round to answering some queries. It's not like it's a full-time job.

I can see a number of messages mcforum@bellsouth.net on the list, so at some point the address was subscribed to the list. If it no longer exists then it must have been removed, either by accident or intentionally. That would explain the message you're getting, which is clearly an automated response from the list software, not a personal reply from the list maintainers (users-owner@lists.fedoraproject.org). They are the only ones who can help in restoring the missing address.
In your original post you mentioned subscribing a new email address without creating an account. I don't understand what you mean by that. AFAIK subscribing to the Users list doesn't require you to create any kind of account.

Thanks Patrick, I'll contact the maintainers around this. The mails I'm sending are making the list because I'm getting replies to them, I just can't see the original mail, plus when I reply to mails those replies are not showing up for me either. Could the issue be that I am using a list registered email address that doesn't have an associated account because I couldn't get the account creation process to accept any password I supplied?

There's probably an option about seeing your own messages. *Perhaps* the default is "no" and you need an account to set it differently.
If you use some mail service like Gmail, there may also be filtering options regarding your own messages.

I've issued journalctl -xa after KDE dropping back to SDDM at startup again this morning (now of F41) and put below a snippet of the messages. What do the messages in yellow mean for packages I had installed outside of DNF/RPM via their shell script and uninstalled via their shell script (The first message) and in the case of the 2nd crash message, it is for a package I don't run and have never used?

Sorry I did forget to put them in the mail. I now have Thunderbird configured to send mails in html and plain text, so there should always be a plain text version. Just a silly question, given that in Konsole the message are colour coded, does plain text retain that colour coding? The issue occurred again this morning with a different set of messages.

No, plain text is plain. As regards colours, the man page for journalctl states:
When outputting to a tty, lines are colored according to priority: lines of level ERROR and higher are colored red; lines of level WARNING are colored yellow; lines of level NOTICE are highlighted; lines of level INFO are displayed normally; lines of level DEBUG are colored grey.
The issue occurred again this morning with a different set of messages.
There's quite a lot there, but as I said before you're probably better to ask on the Fedora KDE list, as many of those messages seem to be relayed to Qt or Plasma.

I've issued journalctl -xa after KDE dropping back to SDDM at startup again this morning (now of F41) and put below a snippet of the messages. What do the messages in yellow mean for packages I had installed outside of DNF/RPM via their shell script and uninstalled via their shell script (The first message) and in the case of the 2nd crash message, it is for a package I don't run and have never used?
I think you forgot the attachments. If you do post them, please use plain text.
Sorry I did forget to put them in the mail. I now have Thunderbird configured to send mails in html and plain text, so there should always be a plain text version. Just a silly question, given that in Konsole the message are colour coded, does plain text retain that colour coding?
No, plain text is plain. As regards colours, the man page for journalctl states:
When outputting to a tty, lines are colored according to priority: lines of level ERROR and higher are colored red; lines of level WARNING are colored yellow; lines of level NOTICE are highlighted; lines of level INFO are displayed normally; lines of level DEBUG are colored grey.
The issue occurred again this morning with a different set of messages.
There's quite a lot there, but as I said before you're probably better to ask on the Fedora KDE list, as many of those messages seem to be relayed to Qt or Plasma.
Thanks Patrick. I'll look for how to subscribe to the kde list.
regards, Steve

Do you have a screensaver running? With a very short time period, and perhaps it is crashing.

Hi Tim, Unless the F41 upgrade has overwritten my F40 configuration I have the screensaver disabled, though I was getting these random drop backs in F40 as well. Having said this though, I checked system-settings again and there was an automatic screen lock setting of 1 minute specified with locking when waking from sleep, that I have now set to "Never", so I'll see what happens.
