nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 07 Feb '20

07 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

Kate not installed by default on Fedora 16
by Sonic 15 Jun '12

15 Jun '12

Hi.. I just found out that Kate was not installed by default on Fedora 16 even though I had selected 'KDE Software Development' during installation. KDevelop is installed, but not Kate. Was this a concious decision or a mistake? regards, Syam

tracker in KDE
by Martin (KDE) 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hallo Yesterday I upgraded from F15 to F16. This went smoothly (almost) but after the restart there were ugly processes running and tacking much of the CPU power: tracker-* AFAIK these processes are the "nepomuk" part of gnome and I don't need them. Why are the tracker processes activated in a typical KDE environment? Martin

Downgrading KDEPIM
by John Aldrich 31 Jan '12

31 Jan '12

Can I add the F15 repos and downgrade KMail? I REALLY don't like KMail 2. It's slower than molasses at the North Pole in January and it's a huge resource hog to boot. I absolutely HATE the new version and if I can't go back to a version that works, I'll have to find a new email client! :(

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.

kmail2 question on Fedora 15
by Lester M Petrie 14 Dec '11

14 Dec '11

Hi I have finally gotten kmail2 to run on my Fedora 15 machine. I ended up using an entirely different mail directory. I was able to import the mail from the old directories into new versions. But I do have one annoying problem. My mail is delivered directly to the machine, and spooled to /var/mail/user-id. kmail was configured to go check the spool periodically, move the mail into my inbox, and delete the mail from the spool. I haven't found a way to get kmail2 to do this. Currently I have added the spool as another mailbox, and when mail shows up, I manually move it, and then manually run a script to delete it from the spool. How do I setup kmail2 to do the previous behavior? Thanks. -- Lester M Petrie 865-574-5259 petrielmjr(a)ornl.gov

Plasma Crash
by Anoop 07 Dec '11

07 Dec '11

Hi List, I noticed this on F15 and now on F16 with KDE-4.7.3. My plasma crashes every then and now. With KDE-4.7.2, everything was fine. This is really annoying and now I have moved to Gnome. Another thing I noticed that when I open Firefox, Chrome or Thunderbird, some times they don't show up in task manager. Any ideas? Thanks, Anoop

Kmail2 quite usable.
by Dragseth Roy Einar 02 Dec '11

I've been following the threads about the problems with Kmail2 and was kinda worried before upgrading to F16. And right enough, I had two days of post- traumatic flashbacks to the KDE3-KDE4 transition, but after som trial and error I've found it rather good. Some quirks, sure, but in my experience they are more related to akonadi and kwallet than Kmail itself: o akonadi doesn't like suspend/resumes on my laptop. I need to restart it every time. After a akonadi restart kmail can read mail again, if you don't restart kmail will hang and show the "Fetching folder...." screen forever. o sometimes the kwalletd will bomb out (claiming to be open, but contain no user/passwd info) and thus kmail will hang on fetching mail. A Disable kwallet - Apply - Enable kwallet - Apply cycle in System Settings will bring things back into order again. o often the Next/Prev Message in the Go menu are grayed out and you cannot jump to the next message with the keyboard. Selecting another message or folder with the mouse brings things back in order again. Trying to convert the Kmail1 mail caches was a no-go, I deleted all local caches and setup everything fresh. I'm using imap exclusively and do all filtering with procmail on the server side so it didn't matter, this might not be an option for people using local mail folders... So, all in all, kmail2 was better than feared for my use. Thanks for all the good work done by the maintainers, r. -- The Computer Center, University of Tromsø, N-9037 TROMSØ Norway. phone:+47 77 64 41 07, fax:+47 77 64 41 00 Roy Dragseth, Team Leader, High Performance Computing Direct call: +47 77 64 62 56. email: roy.dragseth(a)uit.no

Does Okular scroll down on pressing space bar?
by Sonic 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

Hi.. Ever since I installed Fedora 16, I've noticed that Okular doesn't scroll down when Space bar is pressed. Page-Down works fine. So do Page-Up and Backspace. I filed a bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=287753 But a developer says he can't reproduce it. Can anyone please check if this is working on F16? regards, Syam
