You're pointing out the same thing I was wondering about when I read about this kickstart mechanism: We don't want to configure password policies in two places - thats only going to lead to anaconda disagreeing with the installed system. > We also need to make sure that our solution is acceptable to the > gnome-initial-setup developers, which currently uses pwquality to > display password strength but allows setting any password.

I suspect a very lenient > pwquality.conf may be the only way to reach a compromise here. I think the difference of opinion is only about the enforcement part. If pwquality gives us useful information about that quality of the password then we absolutely show that to the user and help her to come up with a better password.

minimum F22/F23 installation requirements
by Felix Miata 23 Mar '15

23 Mar '15

Is there a list anywhere of what packages are required to get any session to proceed beyond crash notices? Out of more than a dozen, probably more than twice that, of F22 & Rawhide installations, I've only ever seen what KF desktop looks like on one, and that on the slowest system on which I have either installed, an Athlon XP 2000+. I'm not interested in having anything more than the bare minimum, plus Konsole, Konq, Kmix and Ksnapshot. The only "k" groupinstall I"ve found, kde-desktop', wants to add 362 packages to the 112 KDE/KDF packages already installed, among them bluedevil, bluez, kamera, kdegames-minimal, kmail, kontact, multiple NetworkManager leaves, dmraid, firewalld, ghostscript, bazillions of python*, speech-dispatcher, lvm2 and many other packages, all inconsistent with minimalism, and unlikely that I'd ever use on purpose. On the latest, I left the screen just sitting after closing the crash windows. Eventually the locker tried to start, so now my screen's center is covered with illegible (text in some tiny fraction of what I can see without a magnifier) syslogd messages. Switching to a tty to login, I get a continuous flood of syslogd messages about the locker that makes killing startkde tough. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Time on systray lags
by Ed Greshko 22 Mar '15

22 Mar '15

Running F22 Beta-TC3 and I noticed something odd. The digital clock on the systay can lag what is displayed via the "date" command by several seconds. I've observed a lag of 12 seconds. Since I'm frequently rebooting for testing I don't know if the lag will increase. Strange thing, if I configure the digital clock to show seconds there is no lag. Is anyone else seeing this? What component would be appropriate for the bugzilla I think is needed. -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.

Desktop Themes and Plasma 5
by Ed Greshko 21 Mar '15

21 Mar '15

Running F22 BTC3 and it seems as if the only Desktop Themes which allows the Network widgets to display properly are either Breeze or Air. Is it safe to assume that is due to the Oxygen theme, for one, being designed for KDE4? I've not tried to install the old Workspaces on F22, but think that can be done, but I'm wonder if there is any way to prevent themes not known to work properly, or known to not work properly, in Plasma 5 being listed as available for use? Also, in System Settings, under Appearance there is a "Look and Feel" but only "Breeze" is available and no way to add more selections. Is this by design? -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.

While on the topic, I see that NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora is not installed by default in f22 kde live image (not on f22-alpha at least), should we ? -- Rex

balloo/dolphin search for comments ?
by Richard Z 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Hi, it used to be possible in F21 to search not only tags but also file comments with the dolphin interface - this does not work for me anymore. Is this a known problem? Any known workaround? Richard --- Name and OpenPGP keys available from pgp key servers

Plasma 5 questions
by Glenn Holmer 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Questions about Plasma 5 in the 22 alhpa: 1) I can't figure out how to set up konsole so that the terminal window has the same size every time I open it, even if I resized it before closing it on the previous run. I was able to do this in Plasma 4. 2) Ctrl-space is broken in konsole (e.g. emacs set mark), although it works in other places (e.g. NetBeans code completion). This works in the Ubuntu Plasma 5 pre-release; does that mean that they fixed it themselves rather than in upstream? 3) In System Settings, under Startup and Shutdown, I've set Desktop Session to "Restore manually saved session". Where is the option to manually save a session? In Plasma 4, it would appear in the 'K' menu once you had selected this. 4) When I right-click the 'K' menu and select Edit Applications, nothing happens. Known issue? -- Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) "After the vintage season came the aftermath -- and Cenbe."

Interestingly, it's not in comps, and the only deps in the distro are: repoquery --whatrequires NetworkManager-config-connectivity-fedora fedora-release-workstation-0:22-0.13.noarch gnome-shell-0:3.15.91-1.fc22.x86_64 So looks like workstation really wants this (and apparently no one else). -- Rex ________________________________________ From: kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org <kde-bounces(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> on behalf of Rex Dieter <rdieter(a)unl.edu> Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2015 8:15 AM To: KDE on Fedora discussion Subject: Re: Network icons documented?

Network icons documented?
by Ed Greshko 17 Mar '15

17 Mar '15

Running F21 and KDE4. I just noticed, maybe after an update, that the network icon on the systray is different than it was before. On the right side is a little yellow marker and I've no idea what it should mean. Is there information somewhere telling people possibilities? -- If you can't laugh at yourself, others will gladly oblige.
