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

qt-4.8/kde-4.10 (hopefully) for rhel6 coming soon
by Rex Dieter 19 Jul '13

19 Jul '13

folks have repeatedly asked about newer/featureful kde builds for rhel6 over the years, and I've put off mostly due to lack of interest and time... until yesterday. Making some good progress, so our mostly empty rhel6 kde-testing repo should see some significant content showing up over the next week or so. Warning: It'll be rough initially, we're at the "it builds! ship it..." stages, so copious testing and feedback would be greatly appreciated. My strategy so far is to minimize upgrading core el6 packages as much as reasonably possible. We'll see how far that takes us. -- rex

KMail with mBox format
by Timothy Murphy 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

I'm running Fedora-18 with KDE. I'm accessing mail from the mBox file /var/mail/tim and this is working fine. (I was previously trying to access mail from /var/spool/mail/tim which is linked to /var/mail/tim but that did not work. Evidently KMail has some problem with linked files?) The only problem I have now is that mail that I delete with KMail, eg mail deleted by my spam filter, is not deleted from the mBox file /var/mail/tim . Is there any KMail setting that will allow this? If there is none, is there any way outside KMail of doing this? It seems incidentally that I cannot include the mBox email in "Local Folders" on KMail. This seems to be set to an maildir setup at /home/tim/.local/share/local-mail , which I am not using and as far as I can see cannot delete, at least within KMail=>Settings . Maybe I have to do something within System Settings? Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

qmake/Qt 4.8 on RHEL6 - mtune=atom
by Syam Krishnan 28 Jun '13

28 Jun '13

Hi I've been testing Rex's build of Qt 4.8 (and KDE 4.10) on a CentOS 6 VM. When I tried to build QtCreator, I found that the gcc arguments were march=i686 mtune=atom. I tried to see where 'atom' option was coming from but it wasn't from QtCreator sources. I created a small Qt test project and found that the Makefile generated after running qmake-qt4 has mtune=atom in the compiler options. The sample project and the makefile is attached. The VM has Core i5 CPU (2 cores; the host has 4 cores). I'm attaching /proc/cpuinfo of the VM. I'm also attaching the output of "g++ -Q -v" when run on a C++ source file (that contains just an empty main function) on the VM. That output says that the options were march=i686 & mtune=generic. Can anybody tell me why 'mtune=atom' is generated by qmake? regards, Syam

by Martin Kho 27 Jun '13

Hi, In Fedora 19 RC2 I installed the rekonq browser using apper. Is it a new default that I can do this as a normal user (not being root or user with admin permissions)? Thanks, Martin Kho apper-0.8.1-0.3.20130511.fc19.x86_64 PackageKit-0.8.9-6.fc19.x86_64

Can't login after booting from Fedora 18 KDE Spin Live
by Vojtěch Rýznar 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Good day, I have downloaded and burned on DVD image Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso. After booting from the DVD a login screen appears where user name 'liveuser' is filled in and password is blank. I'm not able to log in. I tried blank password and passwords like root, liveuser, demo but it always brings me back to the login screen. Please advise. Thank you in advance. Vojta

Qstars fix
by Colin J Thomson 27 Jun '13

27 Jun '13

Hi, After installing Qstars: qstars-0.4-12.fc19.x86_64 qstars-kde-0.4-12.fc19.x86_64 qstars-xscreensaver-0.4-12.fc19.x86_64 I could not see it listed in the System Settings > Display and Monitors > Screen Locker. Running kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental it threw up an error (missing trailing semicolon) in the qstars.desktop file. I made some other changes to the qstars.desktop file as well (which I think is from qstars-kde) and it is now listed and works. The changes where in this section: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Type=Service X-KDE-ServiceTypes=ScreenSaver Name=QStars Exec=qstars Icon=kscreensaver X-KDE-Category=Miscellaneous Actions=Setup;InWindow;Root; I know it is old an not supported by the author anymore but maybe others have missed this cool screen saver :) Colin -- Fedora 19 RC (Schrödinger's Cat) Registered Linux user number #342953

KMail local folder
by Timothy Murphy 25 Jun '13

25 Jun '13

I have a large amount of old emails in /var/spool/mail/tim/ on my laptop. I have created a KMail account specifying the MBox file /var/spool/mail/tim/. I have chosen Lock method: None I found there was already a Local Folders account pointing to a Maildir folder at ~/.local/share/local-mail which in fact is empty. So I called the new account alice (the email comes from in.alice.it). Unfortunately after setting up the MBox account as above I do not see the email in the /var/spool/ folder. It is clear that I do not understand KMail accounts properly. Could some kind soul please enlighten me. Should I perhaps delete the old "Local Folders" account, and use this name for the new account. Or is that irrelevant?

Multiple Copies of plasma-desktop starting on Fedora 19
by George Galt 23 Jun '13

23 Jun '13

I just installed Fedora 19. I am running the latest kernel and the 319 nvidia driver. Oddly enough, 2 copies of plasma-desktop seem to start, and I have to go in a kill the second copy, otherwise I simply have a blank screen. I've looked around to try to figure out what is causing the second copy of plasma-desktop to start, but I'm not really sure where to look. Any ideas on where to start? George
