As a downstream/packaging issue, fedoras akonadi packaging currently opts to default to using the values in: /etc/akonadi/mysql-global-mobile.conf and not /etc/akonadi/mysql-global-big.conf (ie, compare each to /etc/aknoadi/mysql-global.conf) The rationale being that the -big config, well, was *too* big, especially for casual users. Perhaps we will have to rethink that. In the meantime, yes, if the values in -mobile are problematic, then upstream should also consider adjusting things too. -- Rex

Problem with kde support in libreoffice
by Eli Wapniarski 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi guys. I just ran into a problem with libreoffice-kde. When it is installed the menus do not appear. When removed, the menus appear just fine. I have filed a bug report at bugzilla https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1088223 Eli -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

OK, implemented in akonadi-1.12.1-2 build -- rex

This is already the case. kde-baseapps.spec already includes: BuildRequires: baloo-devel >= %{version} BuildRequires: baloo-widgets-devel >= %{version} (with no mention of nepomuk). So, if something isn't enabled or working right, its not a matter of missing build dependencies. -- Rex

Or not, I found a missing build dep on kfilemetadata, doing a -2 build now. -- Rex

Problems with the last update to akonadi
by José Abílio Matos 14 Apr '14

Hi, after the last update of akonadi from unstable I got a message saying that the it was updating the the data, and that it could take a few minutes depending on the size of the data. I left the computer on all night and this morning it was still the same warning (progress bar). I have close kmail/kontact and now akonadi does not start. $ akonadictl start Starting Akonadi Server... Unable to register service as "org.freedesktop.Akonadi.Control.lock" Maybe it's already running?

RE: kde-4.13.0 now available in f20/kde-unstable repo
by Ernesto Manríquez Mendoza 13 Apr '14

13 Apr '14

Greetings, KDE lovers of this community. I'm Ernesto Manriquez, and I've been using KDE with Fedora since Fedora 9, so, I've been following closely this list. I'm a heavy KDE-Redhat user, and the kde-unstable repo has served me well to do bug reports upstream, so, here it goes. 1. Baloo is awesome, but we need Milou. There is a Milou package in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1078994 , under review, and kde- unstable would be a great place to test it. 2. Dolphin is compiled against nepomuk-widgets. Please, compile it against baloo-widgets instead. If you don't do that, we'll lose all semantic functionality in Dolphin when we switch from Nepomuk to Baloo.

Some questions about rekonq
by Marko Vojinovic 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Hi folks, Since I've installed F20 (from KDE Live) on my main workstation, I've been evaluating if the rekonq browser can substitute firefox in my regular workflow. So far it has lived up to my expectations, but there are a couple of things that are slightly annoying, so I'd appreciate if anyone could help me out with it: (1) Is there an analog of "about:config" and "about:plugins" pages from firefox? I'd like to be able to tinker with various detailed settings if possible, and also to view all recognized plugins (and I used a lot of stuff in firefox --- flash, icedtea, gecko-mediaplayer, etc.). (2) When I click on a .pdf link, I'd like rekonq to open the pdf file in a separate instance of okular, rather than embedded in the browser tab. Firefox used to ask me if I want to open or save the file, and it would open it in an independent okular session. Can something like that be configured somehow in rekonq? My typical usecase is to open several pdf files at once and distribute them across several workspaces for easy access (I typically open up to 4 pdf's in portrait, side-by-side across two widescreen monitors --- it's extremely convenient). ATM I have to save the pdf's to disk, and then open each of them manually in okular. Aside from being annoying and involving lots of clicking around, my disk is getting cluttered with random pdf files I don't really want to keep etc. (3) What about HTML5 video tag support? Apparently rekonq tries to download the video file immediately on opening of the website, rather than waiting for me to click on the play button. This is a disaster with both user experience and bandwidth usage if the video file is big enough (say several 700MB movies hosted on the site). If you want a test example, try one of my home-made websites [1], and watch your bandwidth! Moreover, if I kill the tab where such site is being opened (it doesn't even get to start loading the pictures or the background!) --- the download of the movie continues, without any apparent way to stop it, short of killing the whole rekonq. So, (4) It would be nice to have some flexibility with controlling the stuff rekonq downloads in the background (like cancel/pause/stop/delete/restart/refresh buttons etc.). Am I missing some hidden controls somewhere? I've searched around the net for all this stuff, but google doesn't want to be my friend today... :-( Can anyone help me out? Or should I just revert to firefox and forget rekonq altogether? TIA, :-) Marko [1] www.dragicavojinovic.com
