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

kde-plasma-nm problem
by Neal Becker 25 Nov '14

25 Nov '14

For the last few weeks, I've had an annoying intermittent problem with kde- plasma-nm. I'm connected to wired enet at work on my laptop. I go home and now connected to wifi, after sleep/resume. But plasma-nm keeps showing a spinning around graphic, and says it's connecting to the wired enet (which is not plugged in). I wouldn't care, but it's causing kde plasma-desktop to eat about 30% cpu. I can stop it by clicking on plasma-nm and choosing 'disconnect' from the wired enet. -- -- Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it

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

Re: rdieter / kde4
by Rex Dieter 21 Nov '14

That's odd. libkompardiff2 had to be available in the copr to even build kompare in the first place. I see it here in the results dir: http://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/rdieter/kde4/epel-7-x86_64/l… Other stuff (like kile, kbibtex) is ideally put into EPEL rather than in this copr (unless it requires newer or incompatible dependencies only available in the kde4 copr) -- Rex ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Orion Poplawski <orion(a)cora.nwra.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 5:28 PM To: KDE on Fedora discussion Subject: rdieter / kde4 Getting kompare-4.14.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64 requires libkomparediff2.so.4()(64bit) kompare-libs-4.14.1-1.el7.centos.x86_64 requires libkomparediff2.so.4()(64bit) Also, seems like kile, kbibtex, others are missing. Any chance they could be added? Thanks! -- Orion Poplawski

F21: pam-kwallet
by Peter G. 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

In F20, when using pam-kwallet and setting kwallet to always remain open, no password was required when starting kmail. In F21, when using pam-kwallet and setting kwallet to always remain open, a password IS required when starting kmail (even though kmail and the pop3 accounts are all set to always allow). Why is a password required? How to get rid of it?
