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

We can consider it. Looks like 4.13 may land some significant changes (nepomuk -> baloo change), so will require careful scrutiny and testing. -- Rex

nepomuk tags for digikam?
by Richard Z 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hi, noticed that digikam is quite prone to crashes and other problems in F19, what would be the first choice KDE program to manage picture collections? My priority is good tag management.. and I would need to import an old tag database so some database that is accessible to scripting would be a great advantage Thanks Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers

F21 in late summer. KApps 4.13 in F20?
by Markus Slopianka 26 Jan '14

Hi. Considering that the core team wants to take its time to release F21, KApps 4.x now have a shorter release cycle than 6 months, and kdelibs and Plasma are in feature freeze anyway, is there a chance KApps 4.13 will end up in F20? Thanks. Markus

F20: Some applications show wrong colours for some images when run in a KDE session
by Markus Schönhaber 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi there, since I upgraded to Fedora 20, some applications show some graphics with wrong colours when run in a KDE session. With "wrong" colours" I mean it looks like blue and green are swapped. With "some applications" I mean especially Firefox and Thunderbird, but also Krita. Example: The waving Panda on the Fedora project's startpage http://fedoraproject.org/static/images/panda-wave.png In Firefox, the panda looks as if the panda was drawn in different shades of green, the same in Krita and Gimp. In Konqueror and Chrome the image looks blueish, as it should be. Some things I noticed: - I'm not entirely sure whether or not the problem only affects PNG images, but every wrongly coloured image for which I actually checked which graphics format it is stored in, it turned out to be PNG. OTOH, not every PNG image is affected. For example, in Thunderbird and Firefox the Thunderbird logo here https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/release/start/ looks OK. I just noticed that Krita and Gimp still show the image with wrong colours (the bird is green). - I see that behaviour when I run a Fedora KDE Spin live image but not with the Gnome live image. - The problem only occurs in a KDE session - not in a Gnome, Cinnamon or XFCE session on the same machine. For example: I log into a KDE session, start Firefox, navigate to the Fedora start page and see a green panda. I log out of KDE and into Gnome and Firefox shows a blue Panda on the start page (in fact, there is no problem with wrong colours in the Gnome session at all - regardless of application or image). - Info about my graphics card: # lshw -class video *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: GF114 [GeForce GTX 560 Ti] vendor: NVIDIA Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0 version: a1 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 resources: irq:61 memory:f4000000-f5ffffff memory:e0000000-e7ffffff memory:e8000000-ebffffff ioport:e000(size=128) memory:f6000000-f607ffff - Whether I use Nouveau or the proprietary Nvidia driver doesn't make any difference. As I already wrote, I even see that in the KDE live image. What can I do to pin the culprit of the problem - or maybe even fix it? -- Regards mks

start a GTK application and ignore oxygen-gtk
by Reindl Harald 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

hi is there a way / env var to start a specific GTK application in a way that any design overrides are ignored, in my specific case start ZendStudio as like "oxygen-gtk" is not installed at all without remove the packages? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1056070 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1053565#c5 oxygen-gtk2-1.4.2-1.fc20.x86_64 oxygen-gtk3-1.3.2-1.fc20.x86_64

Akonadi and NVidia drivers from RPMFusion
by Eli Wapniarski 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

Just a heads up for NVidia users and users of the RPMFusion packages drivers. Version 331.20 of the driver seems to crash Akonadi at KDE startup. Version 331.38 seems to fix it. I had to uninstall the RPMFusion drivers and use the drivers to from NVidia to confirm the findings that was reported at: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=326480 I reported the problem to RPMFusion at: https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3144 I hope we see the newest drivers soon.... I do see them being played with at RPMFusion's Rawhide repo :) Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
