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

Hello, Were can I find the SRPMs kde-workspace-4.9.0-4.fc17.x86_64? I need to test a bug fix to kwin, will it build (patched) on my local mock or does it require special mock configuration? - Gilboa

Instant messaging application for KDE 4.9
by Sonic 29 Aug '12

29 Aug '12

Hi.. I'm running KDE 4.9 from kde-unstable on Fedora 17. Today, I was searching in the menus for Kopete and found that it is not installed. At first I thought it might've been replaced by some other Telepathy client app. But I couldn't find any in yum list. Is Kopete still the preferred instant messaging app for KDE? regards, Syam

Qwt 6

Hi.. This is not directly related to KDE. But any idea why Qwt v6 is not yet adopted for Fedora? We're using Qwt 5.2 on RHEL 5, but some of our developers reported having better results with Qwt 6. regards, Syam

show hidden icons not working?
by Neal Becker 27 Aug '12

27 Aug '12

Click on the little up triangle (show hidden icons) displays a list of several (e.g., battery monitor). But neither left nor right click on the element of the list seems to do anything. I expected it to open the respective app, as it would have done if the icon was not hidden.

Request for review - new desktop groups
by Bill Nottingham 19 Aug '12

19 Aug '12

As part of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/ReworkPackageGroups, I've been working on redoing some of the groups that make up installation choices in anaconda. The idea is to offer a simpler interface, where the user simply selects which environment they want to run in, plus options for that environment. Based on what's in the kickstart file for the KDE spin, here's what I have for KDE: KDE contains: kde-runtime kde-workspace kdelibs apper ark bluedevil cagibi cups-pk-helper gwenview kamera kamoso kcalc kcharselect kcm-gtk kcm_touchpad kcolorchooser kde-baseapps kde-plasma-networkmanagement kde-plasma-networkmanagement-openconnect kde-plasma-networkmanagement-openvpn kde-plasma-networkmanagement-pptp kde-plasma-networkmanagement-vpnc kde-printer-applet kde-settings-pulseaudio kdeaccessibility kdegames-minimal kdegraphics-strigi-analyzer kdegraphics-thumbnailers kdenetwork-kdnssd kdenetwork-kget kdeplasma-addons kdm kgpg kipi-plugins kolourpaint konsole kruler krusader ksnapshot ksshaskpass ksysguard ktorrent ktp-accounts-kcm ktp-approver ktp-auth-handler ktp-contact-applet ktp-contact-list ktp-filetransfer-handler ktp-kded-integration-module ktp-presence-applet ktp-send-file ktp-text-ui kwallet kwebkitpart kwrite okular oxygen-gtk phonon-backend-gstreamer plasma-scriptengine-python system-config-date system-config-printer-kde system-config-services xsettings-kde xterm and has the following 'options' available: kde-apps kdeartwork-screensavers kdegames digikam kdenetwork-krdc kdenetwork-krfb kdepim konversation twinkle krusader kde-education blinken kalzium kanagram kgeography khangman kiten klettres ktouch kturtle kwordquiz parley step marble kstars kalgebra kbruch kig kmplot rocs cantor kde-media amarok kmix dragon k3b kscd kde-office scribus calligra-karbon calligra-krita calligra calligra-braindump calligra-flow calligra-kexi calligra-plan calligra-sheets calligra-stage calligra-words I welcome any and all sanity-checking/fixing of this, and ideas for additions/removals. You can open the current F18/F19 comps files and see the data that makes this up - the 'kde-desktop' environment defines what groups go into KDE, and which are shown as options, and the groups referenced there define what packages make them up. Ideally, once this is firmed up, we can even switch the kickstart in spins-kickstart to refer to these groups, and retire the old ones. This way selecting KDE in anaconda for DVD/network installations would provide the same experience as the Live image where possible. Thanks, Bill

Package Maintenance
by Eli Wapniarski 19 Aug '12

Hi Rex I was trying to update kde-plasma-translatoid to a newer version. The newer version is mentioned in the discussion over at: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/translatoid?content=97511 It does not seem to be maintained by the original developer. Anyway, I noticed that I was removed from the package db over at admin.fedoraproject.org which is OK since I have not been paying much attention to this over the last little while. But I thought I would inform you of the newer version. Thanks Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Curious why vsync on, severely hinders performance?
by Victor B. Gonzalez 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hello, I got the Nvidia binary 304.32 on KDE 4.9.00 on Fedora 17. KDE desktop effects run pretty flawless at 100+ FPS no matter what I do **but** the second I enable vsync on in desktop effect settings, FPS can drop to a choppy 30FPS. Why does this happen? Not a solid 30 FPS but a choppy 30 FPS. With vsync off, no matter what I do the FPS is at or above 100 FPS **but** if I just enable vsync, performance drops to a near 30 during some effects and it's very noticeable. I somewhat can't believe it :( Why could this be happening? -- Best Regards Victor B. Gonzalez
