nVidia drivers - an observation (admission)
by Ed Greshko 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Around F19 or F20 my old nVidia card died. I replaced it with a GeForce GTX 660 but did not bother (think) to update the nVidia driver so I've been running the 304xx drivers along with my GeForce GTX 660 card just fine with KDE as my desktop. Of course, F22 came along which brought Plasma-5 to KDE. I started to have problems that I attributed to Plasma-5. After some time artifacts would appear in systray and popup areas of the systray when the mouse hovered over a process. Also at least once a day I'd lose everything on the systray and have to restart plasma. This past Saturday I decided to move to the 340xx drivers, yes I know I really should have moved to 352 now, since that is what my faulty memory told me to do. Anyway, the artifacts haven't reappeared and the systray hasn't needed restarting in the past 2 days. Additionally another problem seems to no longer exist. Previously when I closed the chrome browser several chrome process would be left running. With the "new" drivers this is not the case. I don't think I am the only person that has decided to use nVidia drivers instead of nouveau. But my experience may be something to keep in mind when chasing Plasma-5 problems. -- It seems most people that say they are "done talking about it" never really are until given the last word.

more multiscreen wierdness
by Neal Becker 24 Aug '15

24 Aug '15

At work I have laptop + external (hdmi) screen. Yesterday I went home, woke laptop from sleep, and had no panel. Previously panel always went with 'primary' display, which was laptop with no external monitor, and external when connected. Which worked fine. I tried logoff/logon, then reboot. Didn't fix it. So I re-added panel, carefully setup as I wanted. Today I connected external monitor. Now each display has it's own panel. Seems like a regression.

DPMS settings being changed
by Ed Greshko 22 Aug '15

22 Aug '15

In the System Settings I have "Screen Locking" unchecked. But in my .bashrc I have the line xset +dpms dpms 240 240 240 And sure enough after 4 minutes the screens go blank. And when I move the mouse the screen returns. However, after the screens return I do an "xset q" and I find DPMS (Energy Star): Standby: 600 Suspend: 900 Off: 1200 DPMS is Enabled Monitor is On I can't figure out what is changing the settings. Any idea? -- It seems most people that say they are "done talking about it" never really are until given the last word.

feedback on contributed patch about C.UTF-8 locale
by Rex Dieter 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

Can someone with more locale-fu give some opinion/feedback on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1250238 and/or https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348678 The former has a proposed patch, that to my untrained eye, looks good. -- Rex

Dolphin using huge amounts of memory
by Lester M Petrie 21 Aug '15

21 Aug '15

I have been using Krusader because I have been unable to get Dolphin to access some directories that are NFS mounted, while Krusader quite happily traverses them. But this morning I decided to try Dolphin again, as I like some of its interface better. I would be accessing files from Dolphin, when it would just disappear. This happened a couple of times, and I was ready to give up, but decided to look at the journal to see if there was anything there giving a clue as to what was wrong. I found the kernel was killing Dolphin with an OOM event. Dolphin was using ~16Gig of memory both times it was killed. What could it possibly be doing that takes that much memory? Is there some configuration that can reduce the memory required? -- Lester M Petrie RNSD/ORNL 865-574-5259 petrielmjr(a)ornl.gov

Desktop freeze on NFS share failure
by Emmett Culley 20 Aug '15

20 Aug '15

Why does the desktop freeze whenever an NFS share fails? I have set all NFS mounts to soft,intr and yet, if I forget to unmount a share before taking down the NFS server, my desktop freezes. Luckily I have Yakauke running, so I can at least get to a console. But of course the NFS mount cannot be umounted if it doesn't respond. Also I assumed the setting shares to intr, soft would prevent other software from hanging if the share stops responding. Is that not so? Or is there another setting I am not aware of? Any ideas how to prevent this from happening? Emmett

Enable/disable touchpad
by Timothy Murphy 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

I'm running Fedora-22/KDE on my ThinkPad T510. Ctrl-Y turns off the touchpad on this laptop. But this only works until the next re-boot. In System Settings=>Hardware=>Input Devices=>Touchpad there is an option "Enable/Disable Touchpad" which I assume is meant to toggle the touchpad on and off. On my machine it seems to have no effect. Have I misunderstood its purpose? Or does one have to install some other package for it to work? As I recall, there was a straightforward option "Disable touchpad" in Fedora-21/KDE, which worked perfectly. -- Timothy Murphy gayleard /at/ eircom.net School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin

konsole5 "fixed" upstream
by Ed Greshko 19 Aug '15

19 Aug '15

Looks as if the cut/paste issue with konsole5 has been fixed upstream. https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343726 Hope this can make it into F22 soon for testing. While there are workarounds it was frustrating. -- It seems most people that say they are "done talking about it" never really are until given the last word.

Hi KDE folks, Has anyone started packaging plasma-pa (new volume applet) for 5.4? If not, I would like to (co)maintain it. SRPM[1] and COPR builds[2] are in links below. Shall I create a review request?

Ah, I think it's Qt. This build was against qt-5.5, not available in -updates (or updates-testing) yet.
