akonadi-mysql subpkg
by Rex Dieter 25 Jun '12

25 Jun '12

Here's an initial attempt at creating a akonadi-mysql subpkg. It's purpose includes: * provide a way for users/admin's to more-easily control which akonadi backend gets used by default. when akonadi-mysql is present => mysql, if not => sqlite * allows mysql (and friends) to drop out of fedora's critical path (which the mysql maintainer isn't fond of) Once built, we can add akonadi-mysql to comps to get installed by default (1) I've tested upgrading from pristine akonadi setup/config as well as one with an existing customized /etc/xdg/akonadi/akonadiserverrc file. Any comments, thoughts, feedback? -- rex (1) though I'd personally not want this, my fellow kde-sig'ers disagreed with me last time the topic was debated.

OpenVPN Config Import broken in kde-plasma-networkmanagement
by Andreas Petzold 24 Jun '12

24 Jun '12

Hi, I think I've found a bug when importing openvpn connection details from a file to create a new VPN connection. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302451 I'd like to verify the patch against the latest kde-plasma-networkmanagement-openvpn package from kde-unstable. Where can I get the sources for packages from kde-unstable? Cheers, Andreas

Announcing Dogtail 0.8.0 - both GNOME3 and KDE4 compatible
by Vitezslav Humpa 22 Jun '12

22 Jun '12

Hi All! After having dealt with a number of issues in these last few months, we believe that the updated Dogtail, GUI test tool and automation framework, has now reached a state when we can release it. So finally - now more than two years after the last stable version - Dogtail 0.8.0 is out! It's already syncing into Fedora repositories, but you can also get it here [1]. So what is new? Some of you might have noticed, that Dogtail was no good since the release of Fedora 15. Thus most significantly, Dogtail was ported to be compatible with new GNOME 3 technologies and now works well again in major distributions centered around GNOME 3. And as a new, thanks to qt-at-spi, Dogtail now supports QT too and it can be used to test and automate KDE/QT applications as well! With QT accessibility enabled you will see the complete UI trees of QT applications as you were used to with GTK+ apps. KDE sessions are now supported both for working and script running environment out of the box with KDE 4.8.x and QT 4.8.2 onward. There were many more changes in Dogtail 0.8.0, you can find release highlights in the release notes [2]. We are making the 0.8.x series of releases the GNOME 3 / KDE 4 compatible branch, but for all of you who are using GNOME 2 / GTK+ 2 based systems we are continuing the 0.7.x branch, having released a bug-fixing update recently too [1]. We hope that all of you interested in GUI testing and automation will be interested in using dogtail again for GTK+ and try it up for QT apps too! Please don't hesitate to ask on IRC or write to the dogtail-list [3] if you have any questions. Thanks!

Retiring akonadi-googledata
by Mario Santagiuliana 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hi to all, I am going to retire akonadi-googledata. An old akonadi resource for Google contacts and calendars. Like explain in this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=833041 I suggest to all users who are using akonadi-googledata to switch to new resources akonadi-google (that new version will be included in kdepim- runtime). Thank a lot to Rex Dieter for his work! -- Mario Santagiuliana www.marionline.it

kdm long login delay - 4.9-beta2/F17
by Colin J Thomson 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, After some updates yesterday I was prompted to logout and log back in which I did. I entered my user/password and hit return which would normally start the kde splash screen right away and begin the login process. However it took almost 1 min after I entered my password and hit return before the login process started. I am not sure how to debug this yet and will have a look on kde.bugs etc. Does anyone else see this ? F17 - 4.9-beta2 - qt-4.8.2-2 Colin -- Fedora 17 (Beefy Miracle) Registered Linux user number #342953

Onscreen keyboard with word completion feature progress
by Kyle 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hello, Progress is being made to incorporate a word completion feature with an onscreen keyboard into KDE (Plasma and Maliit). I think this would make KDE more accessible to disabled users. Packaging seems to be one of the issues (mainly Presage). For more info: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=265452 http://mikhas.posterous.com/maliit-keyboard-now-with-word-prediction-and Any help or feedback in getting this implemented in Fedora/KDE would be great.

KNode on different laptops/phones
by Timothy Murphy 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

I look at KNode on different laptops and occasionally on an Android phone, and I was wondering if there is any way to keep a note of articles one has read, to pass on from one machine to the other? Currently, I copy .kde/share/apps/knode/ to my server when I logout, and then copy it back when I login. This is better than nothing, but isn't completely successful. I'm not clear if articles do have a unique identifier independent of the server they are downloaded from? -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College Dublin

plasma desktop eats CPU in F16
by Zebee Johnstone 17 Jun '12

17 Jun '12

I am running Fedora 16 which was created from an F15 install via preupgrade. Note though that the homedir is in a separate filesystem and hasn't been re-created for some time, so there might be cruft in it. The desktop is very slow in refreshes. If I change virtual desk pages then the previous page still shows for some time and the system monitor widget shows CPU is high. Top confirms the CPU hog is plasma_desktop, and strace shows stat("/etc/localtime", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=2183, ...}) = 0 I saw a note via google to remove $HOME/.kde/share/config/plasma-desktop* and doing that did solve the problem but the problem is back. Deleting those means configuring my desktop again, I'd rather avoid that if I can! Zebee
