testing kde-telepathy
by Christos Lazaridis 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, While checking out the kde-telepathy from kde-testing, I was getting failures when I tried to connect to my google talk account. I soon discovered that ktp- auth-handler was not installed. I was just wondering whether this package should be pulled in by default when installing ktp. cheers, Christos. -- .................................................................. :: Christos Lazaridis +41 76 26 82453 ( cell ) :: :: CERN/EN-MEF-LE (530 R-014) +41 22 76 62789 ( office ) :: :: Machines & Experimental Facilities Group :: :: http://chrislaz.net :: :: :: :: There is still something in everything I do that defeats me, :: :: makes me dissatisfied, challenges me to further effort. :: :: Sometimes I rise above my level, sometimes I fall below it, :: :: but always I fall short of the things I dream. :: :: ~ H.G.

Fedora KDE Plasma Workspace Test Day - 2012-04-10
by Jaroslav Reznik 10 Apr '12

10 Apr '12

Hi, there will be Fedora KDE Test Day tomorrow and I hope you will join us to help making our spin better ;-) Yep, we forgot about Easter holidays, but... The Test Day will be held the whole day, we try to cover most timezones (as our presence allows). https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2012-04-10_KDE_4.8 See you at #fedora-test-day One note: if you're going to use rc3 in kvm, use qxl/spice combination as there's breakage using cirrus/vnc.

KMail/dovecot from remote server
by Timothy Murphy 08 Apr '12

08 Apr '12

I'm running KMail on my laptop, collecting mail from a remote dovecot server over openVPN. Ping time to the server is about 250ms. This works reasonably well, except that I get frequent messages to say that the link to the server has been lost. I often ping-check the link in such a case, and it seems to be fine. A worse symptom is that sometimes I get the message "Retrieving folder contents" which remains there apparently for ever preventing me reading any mail. I have to re-start with Ctl-Alt-Backspace to get KMail working again. I suspect that this may have something to do with the "wallet" though I am not sure about this. I wonder if any other KMail users have the same experience? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

RTL8192e-pci NIC in Networkmanager
by Jan Simonson 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

Hello, I'm using a Samsung R720 laptop with a RTL8192e-pci NIC and Fedora 16. The driver has been in kmod-staging from fusion until recently. Now it is removed from staging and instead a driver is included in the kernel pack from Fedora. After booting with this new kernel the relevant modules are loaded (see below) but the wireless connection is not available in Networkmanager. Using the module earlier from Fusion worked most of the time and better and better over time.

ktp vis-à-vis telepathy-qt4
by Peter G. 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

Curious about ktp-*. Should I uninstall telepathy-qt4* first? I am confused, but it seems to be a duplication of the same, non?

Weird behavior Dolphin
by Martin Kho 07 Apr '12

07 Apr '12

Hi, With the new 'smooth' scrolling mode (detailes view mode) in Dolphin, I have some issues with refreshing of directory content. e.g. I've rebuild a srpm that puts it's output in BUILDROOT (i've disabled the remove statement in the spec file) . ls -al /rpmbuild/BUILDROOT in Konsole shows that the output is there, but Dolphin, even after pressing F5 (reload), doesn't show it. Dolphin have to be closed and restart Dolphin the get the correct content. This is kde-4.8.2-1 on a fully updated F17. Does anyone else have seen this? Thanks, Martin Kho

KAddressBook on a server?
by Timothy Murphy 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

I see there have been some advances in KAddressBook, eg it can now use my Google contacts. But I'm wondering if it is possible to keep KAdddressBook contacts on my server, so that they are available anywhere on my LAN? At present I am using an OpenLDAP contact list on the server. KMail can see this, but I don't think I can add contacts from KAddressBook (or KMail) to the OpenLDAP database. It's a bit hard to tell, as the KAddressBook online manual is seriously deficient. (I suppose one shouldn't complain too much, as previously it was 1 line long. But I don't understand how people can go to so much trouble developing an application, and not document it properly, or sometimes at all.) -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

Beta RC3 available, please help with desktop validation
by Adam Williamson 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hey, folks. 17 Beta RC3 is finally available now, please help with desktop validation! http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/17-Beta.RC3/ KDE, Xfce and LXDE are pretty close to RC2, I think. GNOME 3.4 is in, so Desktop has changed. We did test with an unofficial 'pre-RC3' live image with GNOME 3.4 built in and found it passed all validation tests, so that's good, but we should re-do them with the official build just to make sure. Thanks! As always, instructions and results matrix at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_17_Beta_RC3_Desktop thanks again! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net

What is virtuoso-t doing?
by Timothy Murphy 01 Apr '12

01 Apr '12

When I reboot and login into my Fedora-16/KDE laptop I see from "top" that virtuoso-t is taking 150$ or more of my CPU. This lasts for a minute or two, and results in the boot being very Windows-like, ie nothing can be done until virtuoso-t calms down. I think this has only been happening fairly recently. I certainly don't recall it with older versions of Fedora. But is virtuoso-t doing something useful that has to be completed before I can use the laptop? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin
