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

Fedora KDE Live Media installer still not available in non-english language (F15 version)
by Christian González 24 Jan '12

24 Jan '12

I've reported this problem 2 years ago: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=541055 The problem is still present in F15 KDE Spin. ¿Could we please find some kind of solution? Again, I'm willing to help in any way, but I think that this problem must be priorized by the KDE SIG, especially since Anaconda devs have stated that they will not fix the problem (see comment 6). Kevin Kofler suggested to create a kdialog wrapper. Is it possible? I think even I can help with that part of the solution.

Sudo and limited rights
by Anne Wilson 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I'm fed up of having to be root to read log files when troubleshooting. I'd like to add a sudo line that gives me read-only rights to /var/log/ - is this possible? I've not found any example of limted rights like that - and I don't want to allow write access to anyone other than root. Anne -- New to KDE Software?

kaddressbook in F16
by Peter G. 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Will we not have a functioning kaddressbook for the release of Fedora 16? Presently, no addresses are displayed. It has been like this for weeks (see bz#742367). KDE Addressbook of type traditional crashes when kaddressbook is launched and the Akonadi addressbook shows nothing.

Fedora 16 Final RC1 desktop validation: help required!
by Adam Williamson 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

Hey, everyone. It was a hard slog, but we finally managed to do an F16 RC1 build yesterday. We only have a few days before the go/no-go meeting on Tuesday so we could really do with your help to get through validation as fast as possible. If RC1 proves to pass validation we have until Tuesday to do it, but really it'd be great if we could complete validation over the weekend, so if any further issues are found, we have a fighting chance to re-spin and re-validate on Monday. The RC is available here: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/16.RC1/ The desktop validation page, with all the tests, results matrix, and testing instructions, is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_16_Final_RC1_Desktop Please, if you have any spare time at all this weekend, grab the DVD or live image for your desktop and help us fill out the validation matrix! If you hit a bug which is clearly a 'fail' - the test just doesn't pass at all - if you're testing GNOME Shell, GNOME fallback, or KDE, file a bug and mark it as blocking 'F16Blocker'. (If you don't have the privileges to do this, mail me the bug ID and I'll do it). If you're testing any other desktop, file a bug and mark it as blocking 'F16-accepted'. Then report your result for the test as {{result|fail| username|bugid}}. If you hit a bug while doing a test but it doesn't really mean the test is completely failed - just some issue that happened to come up while you were doing the test - file the bug, and report your result for the test as {{result|warn|username|bugid}}. use your judgment as to whether the bug should be proposed as a blocker or nice-to-have or not proposed at all, depending on how serious it seems. We fixed quite a lot of desktop issues for RC1. For Desktop, we fixed the issue with clutter-dependent apps crashing when hardware 3D acceleration is not available and the subsequently-discovered issue where clutter-based video playback and capture fails when hardware 3D isn't available. For KDE, we fixed the two issues which prevented KDE running properly in a VM with either qxl or cirrus drivers: KDE should now work fine inside KVMs. For Xfce, we took a bunch of the NTH-nominated fixes. So, I'm hoping this means we've already had quite a lot of testing with the TCs, and the RCs should be pretty good. Thanks everyone! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

Defining keyboard actions
by Anne Wilson 31 Oct '11

31 Oct '11

I'm temporarily working on a Microsoft multimedia keyboard. To my surprise the function keys do not behave as expected. F9, for instance, is recognised as Send - at least when I try to program a keyboard shortcut, that's what shows up (it doesn't send in KMail :-) ). F10-F12 don't seem to be recognised. I'm sure there used to be an app for defining multimedia keys, etc., but can't remember what it was. I really need to re-program some of these keys, and can't in systemsettings, so any help would be very much appreciated. Anne -- New to KDE Software?

CPU hogs on F16
by José Abílio Matos 29 Oct '11

29 Oct '11

I am not sure if this is related with kde but since I am now seeing this I thought that it was better to report it here. 1) I get PackageKit running full speed with a call like this: /usr/bin/python /usr/share/PackageKit/helpers/yum/yumBackend.py get-packages unknown Sometimes this is making the system to crawl due to disk access. I am asking it in the case this is related with apper. (I have no reason to suspect so but since it only showed up after apper appearance.) 2) With nepomuk active everytime on startup strigi wants to index some files every time. After login, nepomuk remembers the option from last run to suspend strigi but after sometime it ignores it and it goes again. FWIW I have left it run until the end several times but after inspecting the same static files over and over again it gets frustrating. :-) Other than these two nags f16 has been working perfectly to me (I will ignore kmail2 for my own sanity for this report).

calligra for F16 (?)
by José Abílio Matos 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi, I have been using F16 for a couple of months and the only packages that I miss that were available on kde-unstable (or was it testing) for F15 but that are not available for F16 are the calligra* suite. Now I know that you are busy with the deadline for F16 approaching but since I saw the announce of a soon to come pre-release for calligra 2.4 I am asking out of curiosity. Regards, -- José Matos

K3b event notification with undefined default sound file kills sound playback
by John Pilkington 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

Hi: I came across this recently and suspect it might be a Fedora package special. It works OK if I disable Notifications, and might well do so once they have been properly associated. K3b ought to check this, though. I'm running Fedora 14. I don't recollect touching the K3b Notifications settings, but I haven't heard the trumpets recently. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=284966 John P

Re: F15: subversion 1.7 / kdesvn

This strikes me as not being suitable for an update to an existing release (and this includes F16 now, as we've passed the final change deadline) at all. (The conversion also makes the working copies incompatible with older releases of Subversion, which totally sucks for users of shared home directories, but we can't do anything about that. :-( ) I also think this change might also require changes in various SVN GUI frontends, not just kdesvn.
