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

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

what's wrong with plasma-desktop-appletsrc
by Reindl Harald 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

whats wrong with "plasma-desktop-appletsrc"? the bkp-file is how it should be some crap is adding "[Containments][68]" repeatly until today it was enough to copy "activityId" to "[Containments][1]", remove the rest and hard restart X so KDE has no chance to write his crap back well, now after doing that 3 times i still sit in front of a empty desktop witout any widgets

Plasma 5 packages questions
by Loïc Yhuel 23 Aug '14

23 Aug '14

Hi, I looked at the plasma-5 copr, and I have several questions : - Is it still planned to make co-installable packages (in /opt) ? - How can the user adjust settings, as systemsettings isn't officially co-installable ? Settings which should ideally be common are saved in different files : for example mouse settings (SingleClick, WheelScrollLines, DoubleClickInterval, ...) are in ~/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals for KDE4 and in ~/.config/kdeglobals for KF5. So currently you can only configure the applications which are using the same Qt version as the workspace, for the other you have to edit the configuration files manually. Even with only one workspace (Plasma 5 or KDE4), the available widget styles could be different for Qt4 and Qt5 applications. - I wanted to install plasma-oxygen for the Qt5 widget style, but it fails since it depends on kwin, which has file conflicts with kde-workspace. file /usr/share/config.kcfg/kwin.kcfg from install of kwin-5.0.0-2.fc20.x86_64 conflicts with file from package kde-workspace-4.11.11-2.fc20.1.x86_64 Perhaps the decoration and widget style should be split in two different packages.
