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

SDDM: restart don't kill greeter/helper-prcoesses
by Reindl Harald 05 Apr '16

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214782 that's not much funny if you are playing around with a own theme and restart the service multiple times or after updates as recently openssl you need to kill the zombie processes manually

New default web browser on KDE Spin
by Eric Griffith 04 Aug '15

04 Aug '15

Hey all, question for the List: What would it take / whats the protocol to push forward the idea of replacing Konqueror as the default web browser? Konqueror doesn't seem like its going anywhere, and I really think that the user experience would be better served if either Rekonq, or ideally, Firefox were the default browsers. Is there any specific reason that Konqueror has stuck around as the default for so long? --Eric--

KDE plasma desktop totally failed; can't log on
by Temlakos 31 Jul '15

31 Jul '15

Everyone: Has anyone had a problem like this? For the past several weeks, one of my two F22-KDE machines (a Dell Inspiron 1200 running F22 in the KDE spin) has been freezing up while trying to bring up Plasma and two auto-starting applications. Eventually I could get to a good session, but only after having to log out and log back in once or twice. And sometimes the system would freeze up for no good reason, and I would have to do a hard shutdown--holding down the power button for five seconds. Yesterday, during the most recent big update push (160+ packages), that system froze up in the middle of the update. I have no idea what it was trying to do at the time. I do know it failed to install the latest kernel. I then used the power button to force a shutdown. Ever since then, whenever I try to boot that system, it will boot, all right--to the last kernel before the new one. I get to a login screen. But when I try to log in to a Plasma desktop session, I get a brief message, too brief to read. And then the login screen returns. Result: I cannot start a Plasma desktop session. But: if I designate the Session Type as a Failsafe session, I can get in. I then arrive at a command prompt. Now that would let me do something. I want to know what. And I wouldn't even know what logs you'd need to see--nor how to get them off that system and onto a system that can send e-mail. In sum: I think I can rescue that system. I just don't know how to do it, once I log in to a command prompt. Temlakos

F22 KDE Systray Issue
by Emilio Recio 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Does anyone know of an app that can implement xembed feature? My Pidgin IM, DavMail Gateway, Audacious, and many other apps are annoyingly not included in the systry because of KDE not supporting xembed. I figured if there might be a widget that implements xembed? This is a major fail for KDE, IMNSHO. -- Thanks, E. Recio +-------------------------------------------------+ | E.

kdewallet password under Fedora-21/22
by Timothy Murphy 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

I notice that when I re-boot into Fedora-22 I am asked for my kdewallet password; but when I boot into Fedora-21 I am not asked for this. This isn't a serious inconvenience, as I don't re-boot often. But I'd be interested to know the reason for it. I seem to recall that this occurred in some older Fedora versions. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

Dolphin slow start time and kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml
by Germano Massullo 30 Jul '15

30 Jul '15

Today on #fedora-kde, user rom1dep complained about Dolphin (KDE 4) taking ~5 seconds to start. He said that removing .kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml .kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml.bak solved the problem. Those files contained thousands of lines about old (and no longer used) removable devices. Since I am running Plasma 5 and I was experiencing slow Dolphin start times too, I tried to check how many code lines had my /bookmarks.xml. I saw that it contained 7161 lines, for 228 KiB of disk space. I tried to remove those files, then logged out&in from Plasma, and then I saw that Dolphin required much less time to start. Removing those files did not affect the resources/bookmarks that everyday I use in Dolphin. Do you confirm that removing those files reduces Dolphin start time? Why do they contain all that stuff about unused removable devices? I could see lines of XML code about Fedora 16

Low/critical battery warning
by Robin Laing 25 Jul '15

25 Jul '15

Hello, I have a laptop with F21 running well. I have been trying to get the alerts to work for the battery monitor. Some times they do but most times they do no. Screen dimming will work if the battery is low some times. Pop up message will work sometimes. Audible alarm will work some times. Most times, the only indication that the battery is critical is when the battery dies. I have not found any decent documentation. Battery indication is working with the battery widget on the panel. I did all the configuration from this dialogue. I need to get it working reliably. What do I look for when testing? Here are the power configuration files. =================== cat powerdevil.notifyrc [Event/criticalbattery] Execute= KTTS= Logfile= Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/Alien_Siren-KevanGC-610357990.ogg [Event/lowbattery] Action=Sound|Popup Execute= KTTS= Logfile=file:///home/terrina/battery Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-Error-Printing.ogg [Event/pluggedin] Action=Sound|Popup Execute= KTTS= Logfile= Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-App-Positive.ogg [Event/powerdevilerror] Action=Sound|Popup Execute= KTTS= Logfile= Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-App-Error-Critical.ogg [Event/unplugged] Action=Sound|Popup Execute= KTTS= Logfile=file:///home/terrina/battery Sound=file:///usr/share/sounds/KDE-Sys-App-Negative.ogg ====================== [BatteryManagement] BatteryCriticalAction=1 BatteryCriticalLevel=10 [Profiles] ACProfile=Performance BatteryProfile=Powersave LowProfile=Aggressive powersave WarningProfile=Aggressive powersave =================================== cat powermanagementprofilesrc [AC] icon=preferences-system-performance [AC][BrightnessControl] value=89 [AC][DPMSControl] idleTime=600 [AC][DimDisplay] idleTime=600000 [AC][HandleButtonEvents] lidAction=1 powerButtonAction=16 [Activities][e55e152f-a10d-4dd2-8cea-c88e62c0f858] mode=None [Battery] icon=preferences-system-power-management [Battery][BrightnessControl] value=87 [Battery][DPMSControl] idleTime=300 [Battery][DimDisplay] idleTime=300000 [Battery][HandleButtonEvents] lidAction=1 powerButtonAction=16 [Battery][KeyboardBrightnessControl] value=0 [Battery][SuspendSession] idleTime=600000 suspendType=1 [LowBattery] icon=battery-low [LowBattery][BrightnessControl] value=22 [LowBattery][DPMSControl] idleTime=120 [LowBattery][DimDisplay] idleTime=60000 [LowBattery][HandleButtonEvents] lidAction=1 powerButtonAction=16 [LowBattery][KeyboardBrightnessControl] value=1 [LowBattery][SuspendSession] idleTime=300000 suspendType=1 ---------------------- Thank you Robin
