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

KDE SIG Badge
by Ralph Bean 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hello all, A new Fedora badge has been proposed for "membership in the KDE SIG": https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-badges/ticket/132 As far as I can see, there is not a formal definition of membership in the group. Some options for awarding the badge: - We could create a new FAS group and trigger the badge awarding off of that. Lots of other badges work this way, so it is easy to do. The only downside is that you have a FAS group with no other real purpose than for handing out badges. It has to be maintained, pruned eventually, etc.. - Or, instead, we could take one or two volunteers from the SIG to be 'in charge' of the badge. There is a self-service interface in the webapp where they could manually award the badge to sig members as they see fit. I'd like to do it however the sig wants it done. Can you hash it out and let the badges crew know by posting back in the trac ticket above? Cheers- -Ralph

Baloo: tags missing
by Piotr Gbyliczek 14 Jan '15

14 Jan '15

Hi, I did the switch to KDE 4.13 and I seem to lost the tags that I've added to my files. This is most likely due to Nepomuk - > Baloo migration. Could not find anything useful on the list or in the web, so : Are the tags lost , or I need to dig deeper into how to attempt to retrieve them from some data store that Nepomuk had ? If so, any hints or links on how to do it ? Before any comments, found and tried some info, but nepomukbaloomigrator crashes on me, and I can't start nepomuk from my user, only from root (where tags aren't existing, obviously) -- Piotr Gbyliczek Systems Administrator (LPIC 3, Novell CLA certified) Reconnix Ltd T: 0845 421 0444

digikam problem
by George Avrunin 22 Nov '14

22 Nov '14

I originally sent this message to the Fedora users list, but the only response I got was a note from Patrick O'Callaghan suggesting it might be better directed to the KDE on Fedora list. (I had previously posted on the digikam users list, but got no response.) So here it is: On a fully updated Fedora 20, I've had the following problems importing images from a Canon EOS SL1 since the update from digikam 3.5 to 4.0 (which I got July 26): - The digikam camera window doesn't show thumbnails or previews, just icons for RAW and/or JPEG. I can't seem to preview the images to select the ones to import. Digikam does recognize the camera, it just won't show thumbnails or previews of the images on the camera. - Digikam gets the date from JPEGs to do renaming as I have specified, but it seems to think that all of the RAW files were created on 1969-12-31 at 19:00:00, at least from the filenames it's generating. Once the files are imported (I just import all of them without doing any selection), the "File properties" in digikam shows the correct date for each image. (Well, up to time zone issues: my camera is set to Eastern Daylight Time, and Digikam seems to be interpreting that as Universal Time and then correcting for my computer's time zone, so things are off by 4 hours--but this was true before the update, too. Is this a configuration problem on my part?) - I have digikam set to create a new sub-album with the date; so I have <root album>/<year>/<month>/<date>. I'm importing into the <month>. JPEGs are correctly put in a sub-album with the date, but RAW images are put into the <month>, not into a sub-album. I assume this is connected to not being able to correctly get the date for the RAW images during the import. All of this (except for the time zone stuff) worked fine with 3.5. I tried downloading the bodhi builds of digikam 4.2 for Fedora 20, but I'm seeing the same issues as with 4.0. I looked through the digikam mailing list archives and saw that some other people had problems with previewing images from the camera with Canon cameras on 4.0, but the only response was a claim that digikam was using gphoto2, with no details or follow-up. (I can download the images from the gphoto2 command line, too. The problem is not seeing thumbnails in the camera window to decide what to download, or getting the dates on RAW images.) Shotwell seems to be able to generate thumbnails of images in the camera before downloading and gets the correct dates on RAW images. I only started using digikam in early July, so it may well be that this is pilot error, but I haven't been able to figure it out from the documentation. I don't think I changed any digikam settings with the upgrade from 3.5 to 4.0, and nothing about the camera changed at that time. Thanks for any help. If nobody's got a solution, should I file it on the Fedora bugzilla, or upstream? George

Reporting validation results with relval: please update python-mwclient to 0.7
by Adam Williamson 31 Oct '14

31 Oct '14

Hi, folks. Sorry for the cross-post, but wanted to try reach everyone I'd mentioned my little 'relval' tool to. If you have been using 'relval' to report validation results, or are thinking of trying it, please make sure you update python-mwclient to 0.7. Josef Skladanka submitted a few results using relval yesterday which messed up the Desktop page, and kindly fixed up the page and let me know about the problem (thanks, Josef!) On investigation I found the problem is that python-mwclient 0.6.5 is missing the ability to read in the text of a single page section (it looks like it has it, but it actually doesn't). Any time you submit a result to a multi-section page with python-mwclient 0.6.5, this will happen. With python-mwclient 0.7 it works fine. I'm going to send out a python-wikitcms update which requires python-mwclient 0.7 ASAP, and get the python-mwclient 0.7 update into stable for all releases also ASAP, but just in case anyone isn't updating regularly or anything, I thought I'd send a note. Thanks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Fedora 21 Beta RC4 live images available for early testing
by Adam Williamson 29 Oct '14

29 Oct '14

This is not the official announcement as the compose has not been signed off by release engineering, but the Beta RC4 lives are now all complete in Koji: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/tasks?method=createLiveCD&state=closed&v… and I've put the validation pages up - see all the usual suspects: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary the other pages are up too, but we can't really do Server or Cloud tests yet. As we're right up against Go/No-Go again (sigh...) it'd be a good idea to get testing rolling early with the live builds, we can at least blow through the desktop tests and quite a lot of the installer tests using the lives. Any help with getting as much of the validation done as possible would be great. Thanks, folks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

sddm in F21, really?
by Ed Greshko 26 Oct '14

26 Oct '14

Are we really going to ship F21 with sddm as the default DM for KDE? While it works, I find https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1155898 very annoying. kdm always remembers the last session used for *any* user. The least sddm could do is remember the last session for the last user....but now I can't even make it remember the last user even with a sddm.conf file. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.
