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

printer config permission problems
by Neal Becker 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

Nice applet for system settings/printer configuration. But don't try to change any settings, because it doesn't ask for root permission. All it does is say: "There was an error during CUPS operation: 'client-error-forbidden' This is kdebase-4.6.0-0.1.fc14.x86_64

What is virtuoso-t doing and why?
by Marko Vojinovic 07 Apr '11

07 Apr '11

I am seeing the following problem appearing on random occasions during regular usage of my regular updated KDE/F14/64bit system. The desktop becomes extremely slow and unresponsive, out of the blue. It lasts for about a minute or two, and then reverts to normal. If i happen to have a terminal open when it happens, I can see in top that usage of both CPUs goes to 100%. However, it's not because some process is using them, but because both CPUs are wasting cycles in "wait" state for I/O. Then if I manage to start iotop to see what is sucking all disk I/O, I see that 99.99% of I/O is being used by something like virtuoso-t +foreground +configfile /tmp/virtuoso_Lh1825.ini +wait Would someone explain what is this, why is it running on random, what triggers it, and --- most importantly --- why is it configured by default to suck all life out of my system during its (presumably normal) operation? yum info virtuoso-opensource says: Summary : A high-performance object-relational SQL database Description : Virtuoso is a scalable cross-platform server that combines SQL/RDF/XML Data Management with Web Application Server and Web Services Platform functionality. This suggests that it is some kind of database used by KDE (or something else?), so I can understand that it can be resource-hungry. However, I don't understand what is its purpose on my system? If I try to yum remove it, it wants to remove most of the OS istallation, including kdebase, so I guess it is something very required by KDE. I would be very thankful if someone explains what this is and how to make it do its work only when the system is idle enough (say, when the screensaver has been active for half an hour, or something like that), and not in the middle of my regular work. TIA, :-) Marko

Google Chrome keeps popping up KDE Wallet dialogue
by Patrick O'Callaghan 06 Apr '11

06 Apr '11

When opening a new page, the latest Google Chrome (10.0.648.82 beta, F14) frequently pops up a KDE Wallet dialogue asking for a keyring password. This seems unrelated to whether the page itself wants a password. No previous version of Chrome did this, in fact I'm surprised Chrome has any interaction with KDE at all. Has anyone seen this? I'm asking here before reporting to BZ. poc

kdepim-4.4.x for f15
by Rex Dieter 05 Apr '11

05 Apr '11

Per our team meeting this week and after consulting upstream, the kde-sig decided kdepim-4.6 isn't ready yet and and to roll back to kdepim-4.4.x for fedora 15 (and ideally squeeze this in for the upcoming alpha release). https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F15/FEDORA-2011-1283 We'll continue to provide kdepim-4.6 in rawhide (targetting f16 now) and unofficial test builds in kde-unstable repo for further testing and feedback. -- Rex

File attributes puzzle
by Anne Wilson 31 Mar '11

31 Mar '11

I have a small text file that I want to ensure cannot be accidentally deleted, so I ran chattr -i /home/anne/WebPages/UserBase/filename.txt (as root, of course). Running lsattr against the same file produced -------------e- /home/anne/WebPages/UserBase/filename.txt 'i' doesn't show in ls -l filename, either. I haven't come across 'e' before. What is it, and is my file immutable or not? Anne -- New to KDE Software? - get help from http://userbase.kde.org

On this laptop there are many instances of messages like this: [ 2.699064] ACPI Error (psargs-0359): [ ...: 1 Time(s) [ 2.699069] ACPI Error (psparse-0537): ...: 1 Time(s) Is this something I must simply ignore, or is there anything that can be done about it?

Konq text preview - readonly switch?
by John Pilkington 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

I often view text files with the Konqueror 'preview in embedded advanced text editor'. Under f13 I find this is readwrite, under Centos 5 it's readonly. I've googled this several times, and hunted in the toolbars, but I haven't found an easy way to toggle in either. What am I missing? TIA John P
