KWallet and KMail issue
by Martin Kho 26 Apr '11

26 Apr '11

Hi, Using full updated standard fc14 (no kde-redhat) I experience a problem with retrieving the saved password in KWallet for sending e-mails. Checking mail works ok. I get the following message: "There have been repeated failed attempts to gain access to a wallet. An application may be misbehaving." I've tried to remove all entries in KWallet, moved config and *.kwl files without succes. Anyone else have seen this? Any ideas how to solve this issue? Thanks, Martin Kho

Dual monitor setup changes after logoff/on
by Gene Smith 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

I have two monitors (1600*1200) with DVI0 on right and DVI1 on left. DVI0 has the panel and begins at x,y = 1600,0 with DVI0 at 0,0 so the mouse moves horizontally across both monitors as expected. After doing this initial setup in KDE it worked fine for several days but I never logged off. Then upgrade to kde 4.6.2 required logoff/on and the dual monitor configuration was not preserved and it returned to the original default (when moving mouse pointer on right monitor to the left edge it stops and if moved past right edge of right monitor it reappears on left edge of left monitor). Effectively this mean that DVI0 is at 0,0 and DVI1 is at 1600,0 which is probably the most used default. This time I reset the coordinates as described in my first paragraph and it worked correctly again. However, this time I decided to set this as the default hoping this would cause KDE or whatever to keep my settings after an X restart or logoff/on. (Note: The help screen for monitor setup in KDE is grayed out so not really sure what "set as default" really means.) However, now after logoff/on the monitors come up "cloned" with the same stuff on both (and having the same coordinates I think). Again, using the monitor config KDE screen I was able to get my desired setup back. There is probably a workaround to this such as reversing my monitor cables and setting the right monitor (now DVI1) to "primary" so it contains the panel. However, it still appears to be a bug that my settings are not preserved across reboots or logins. -gene

New glitch in Akregator
by Anne Wilson 25 Apr '11

25 Apr '11

Because I subscribe to some very busy feeds I tend to use the Unread view. After the latest update, clicking on one message makes that and the next message disappear, without any possibility of reading it. Anyone else seeing this?

Interested in helping.
by Brock Hudson 24 Apr '11

24 Apr '11

Hello, I am interested in Joining the KDE sig. I have been a previous member of the Xfce sig but since my prefered desktop is KDE I wanted to help further it in Fedora. I helped with documentation in the Xfce sig and I have minor programming skills, enough to patch and fix bugs but not enough to create an application from scratch. I can package as well however I am sure there are enough users doing this already. Hopefully I can help you guys.

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

Device Notifier - Phantom Entry
by Ed Greshko 22 Apr '11

22 Apr '11

I've an entry in the Device Notifier for a 4GB SD card that isn't plugged in. Yet Device Notifier shows it. Of course if I tell it to mount it, it can't...but the entry is still there. Maybe it will go away at some point if I reboot...but at the moment I don't want to reboot. So, the question is where is this information kept and not to clear the bogus entry. I did log out and log in...no help.

Split up juk and dragon player in kdemultimedia
by Rahul Sundaram 21 Apr '11

21 Apr '11

Hi For the purposes of a Fedora Remix that includes KDE by default, I would like to split up juk and dragon player from kdemultimedia package inorder to enable the remix to exclude these since alternatives are preferred and included by default. Multiple apps for the same purpose is redundant, clutters the menu and occupies space in the live image. Would a spec file patch that resurrects dragon player as a individual package be accepted? Should it be called kdemultimedia-dragonplayer and kdemultimedia-juk instead? Let me know the current thoughts on this. Rahul
