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

My "akonadi_nepomuktag_resource" is offline since KDE-4.13
by Laurent Rineau 17 Jul '14

17 Jul '14

Hi, My system if Fedora 20, with the kde, kde-testing, and kde-unstable repositories enabled. In Kmail, I have virtual mail directories, under "Tags". Since the update to KDE-4.13 (with Baloo), that "Tags" directory is marked as "Offline", and I do not have any way of toggle it online. In the Akonadi Console, that set of virtual directories is governed by a resource named "akonadi_nepomuktag_resource", but I do not see which Akonadi agent is responsible for it. Probably it is gone since the upgrade. How can I handle that issue? That is probably a bug in the migration agent. -- Laurent Rineau http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LaurentRineau

pam-kwallet review/testing
by Rex Dieter 07 May '14

07 May '14

Hi, pam-kwallet brings to kde what gnome-keyring-pam is for gnome. It offers the ability to automatically open your kwallet using your login password. Builds are available in kde-testing repo, package review is at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1091479 To test, 1. install pam-kwallet 2. set kwallet password to be the same as your login password 3. make sure kwallet is configured to *not* autoclose wallets under any circumstances (pam-kwallet only functions once on initial login, it will not reopen closed wallets) 4. configure pam accordingly. in short, add -auth optional pam_kwallet.so -session optional pam_kwallet.so (near similar pam-gnome-keyring entries) in your loginmanager pam configuration. I added these to /etc/pam.d/kdm for example, since I'm testing kdm. 5. profit! -- rex

As hinted in the other followup, the firewall is getting in the way. I usually just set the network to the "trusted" zone (though I'm having trouble getting kde-connect to actually do anything since upgrading the phone to 0.6) -- rex

Sorry, failed to mention, I think only kde-4.13.0 supports this yet, so I think I'll move those builds to kde-unstable -- Rex

I'm guessing gdm uses /etc/pam.d/gdm-password, though rule of thumb is to put pam_kwallet.so entries wherever you see pam_gnome_keyring.so > 2. I am really confused by all of this password stuff.

So, to answer your questions specifically: no, yes, respectively. -- Rex

Multi-Monitor Question
by Ed Greshko 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

I think there may not be a way around this unless I run a separate "DISPLAY" for each monitor....but here goes. I'm running KDE in F20 with 2 monitors. Chrome or Firefox will open a new window when viewing a baseball game on mlb.com (for example). I move that window to my "second" screen and place it in "full screen" mode. All is well and good until I move my mouse back to my "primary" screen and a window there take focus. At that point the window on my "second" screen exits full screen. Anyway to keep that from happening? -- Getting tired of non-Fedora discussions and self-serving posts
