KDE 4.10.1 systray issue
by Lester M Petrie 22 Mar '13

22 Mar '13

Hi I updated Fedora 17 to KDE 4.10.1 this morning. It has basically fixed one issue I have had for about 6 months where I always started in desktop 2. After updating to 4.10, I am starting in desktop 1 again. The issue with systray is that I like to have YAWP running, and now it overlaps about 80% of the systray. This makes it very tricky to select an item from the systray. Is anyone else seeing something like this, or have a fix for it? Is there some way to run YAWP without putting it in the systray? -- Lester M Petrie 865-574-5259 petrielmjr(a)ornl.gov

Panel translucency question
by Patrick O'Callaghan 19 Mar '13

19 Mar '13

With the new 4.10 I find that my only KDE panel has become translucent. Given that I also have it set to Autohide, this is pretty pointless for my usage, and frequently the underlying image makes it hard to make out panel icons and text. How can I turn off translucency for the panel? There in no option on the Panel settings. Do I have to change the theme to get this to work the way I want? poc

Missing Apps on taskbar scare...
by Ed Greshko 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

Got a "scare" today and thought I would pass it on in the event anyone happens on the same situation. I did an update late last night to KDE 4.10. I had previously tested and found no problems. I logged out/in and checked emails and did some surfing but that was about it before heading to bed. This AM I started doing more work with different apps and I found, to my horror, that when I minimized them they would not appear in the task bar. Brain started thinking, how can I rollback the update..... The "problem" turned out to be in Task Manger Settings where I found the filter "Only show tasks from the current activity" checked. AFAIK, I'd never checked that. -- >From now on, at least during winter time, Im going to blame all spelling an grammar erros on the cat sitting on my chest every time I sit down at the computer....

Question about Akonadi Configuration
by Gerald B. Cox 18 Mar '13

18 Mar '13

I looking into linking my Google Account into KMail, Contacts and Calendar - so I took a look at the Configuration of Akonadi PIM framework under system settings. I had about thirty instances of the Personal Contacts agent, 10 Notes Agents, you get the idea. I probably shouldn't have but I deleted all the duplicates. Now I have the following: Personal Calendar - Ready akonadi_googlecontacts_resource_0 - Ready Personal Contacts - Ready akonadi_akonotes_resource_0 - Ready akonadi_akonotes_resource_1 - Ready akonadi_akonotes_resource_2 - Ready Notes - Ready Active Alarms - Ready Archived Alarms - Ready Alarm Templates - Ready Default Address Book - No file Selected Local Folders - Ready My question is why all the duplicates, were they needed? Do I need three akonotes_resources? I did do some google searches to try to figure what was going on, but couldn't really find anything. Just trying to understand this stuff a bit... Thanks in advance for any enlightenment. ;-)

KDE 4.10.1 for F17 needs your karma
by Kevin Kofler 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hi, if you have tested the KDE (software compilation) 4.10.1 packages for Fedora 17 (no matter whether you got them directly from updates-testing or from kde-testing, the packages are the same in both cases) and they worked well for you, please give positive karma at: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2013-3667 (Please authenticate with a valid Fedora Account System (FAS) account if possible, so that the karma point is actually counted.) We need at least 2 karma points to be able to push the update! Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, Kevin Kofler PS: Yes, this karma system sucks, I've always said it. :-)

Unauthenticated user can modify the background in a widget-lock-screen
by Gilboa Davara 17 Mar '13

17 Mar '13

Hello all, While testing 4.10/f17 I decided to try out the new lock screen. The widget lock screen is indeed nice, but there's a major security issue: An unauthenticated user can access the lock-screen setting and change the background. (cashew->settings). Anyone else seeing this? What are the chances that this is not an upstream bug? (Low, I would imagine) - Gilboa

How to compile Plasmate?

14 Mar '13

Hi there. I was trying to compile Plasmate 1.0, I installed attica and attica-devel; but I still can't compile it, it show the next error message: "-- The C compiler identification is GNU 4.7.2 -- The CXX compiler identification is GNU 4.7.2 -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/lib/ccache/cc -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/lib/ccache/cc -- works -- Detecting C compiler ABI info -- Detecting C compiler ABI info - done -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/lib/ccache/c++ -- Check for working CXX compiler: /usr/lib/ccache/c++ -- works -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info -- Detecting CXX compiler ABI info - done CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (find_package): By not providing "FindLibAttica.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "LibAttica", but CMake did not find one.

About this: > LibAtticaConfig.cmake > libattica-config.cmake I made a "locate LibAtticaConfig.cmake && locate libattica-config.cmake" and nothing there isn't any file in my filesystem named like those, just "/usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/FindLibAttica.cmake". So What should I do to make it? -Isaac.

Problem with Nepomuk
by Eli Wapniarski 12 Mar '13

12 Mar '13

I'm seem to be having another problem with 4.10.1 When I try to do a search for an email with Kontact I get an error message dialog box that reads. The Nepomuk semantic search service is not available. Searching is not possible without it. You can enable it in "System Settings". Nepomuk seems to be running and so is virtuoso-t. Any ideas??
