Printer recommendations
by CS DBA 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

All; I'm having a tough time finding a color laser printer (preferably with duplex capability) that works well with Fedora 24 / KDE. I've tried a few, even downloaded a set of brother printer RPM's but no luck. Anyone have any recommendations per a printer and what driver you are using? Thanks in advance

Flex 2.6.0 generates C90-incompatible code
by Fredy Neeser 19 Oct '16

19 Oct '16

Hi Rex For debugging reasons, I'm trying to build Plasma on Fedora 24 from sources, but building KF5 packages such as kf5-kservice and kf5-solid fails because of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1364943 Flex 2.6.0 generates C90-incompatible code I noted that there are some workarounds like http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/kf5-kservice.git/commit/?h=master&i… but since flex-2.6.1 already includes the fix, I'd much prefer to use the flex update rather than patching the KDE sources :-) Any chance we can get flex-2.6.1 for Fedora 24? Thanks Fredy Neeser IBM Zurich Research Laboratory

Hi! On myself I've had best experience with a Canon product on both RH derived and "debioid" Linux systems for meantime about one and a half year: It was a pretty good offer of a computer shop in my country (Austria) having me had purchase a piece of demonstration ware still under guarantee, an I-sensys LBP7100Cn for 120 $ only. Wonderful machine! The most over reason of that low price might have been that printer was one of the last Canon models unconditionally basing on Canon's proprietary UFRII printer language and thus requiring a special driver, whereas later Canon products allow to work on HP or PS printing data , too. However, the excellent Linux drivers (consisting of a "cndvcups-common" and a "cndrvcups-ufr2lt" each) bundled as .deb and .rpm packages together are shipped on CD with the printer, and you can download newer versions from Canon servers in USA, UK and Australia. I've tried them out with a lot of Debian and RH based distros and therein never seen any serious difficulties but sometimes on Debian rather than Ubuntu having had to add one to three dependencies manually. (On RH derived distros, Yum and Dnf will solve it automatically!) I always work on KDE Plasma whereon the printer recognition now seems to act perfectly. May be somewhere you can find one for you that's similarly cheap, be the Ancients with ye, Geri Goetzhaber

Trying to use nouveau in plasma and f23
by John Pilkington 13 Oct '16

13 Oct '16

My video card has worked fine with recent builds of the f23 nvidia304xx driver from rpmfusion, but an update two days ago left me with black screens (two - VGA and HDMI). I have a thread on the rpmfusion list, but here may now be more appropriate. I have removed the nvidia packages, and nouveau gives me the full plasma window with taskbar etc, but after a few seconds that is replaced by featureless black screens with a mouse arrow that moves - from one screen to the other - but does nothing else. Ctrl/Alt/F2 lets me view Xorg.0.log - on both screens - and all looks harmless until, about 80 seconds after the last NOUVEAU message, about HDMI max frequency, I get AIGLX: Suspending AIGLX clients for VT switch NOUVEAU(0): NVLeaveVT is called It now looks as if this is just recording the switch to tty2 Switching between Ctrl/Alt/F2 and Ctrl/Alt/F1 adds more instances of it but I still don't get a working GUI Ideas?

All; Since the last update if I plug in a device and click the "Open with File Manager" I get a "Malformed url" error. I can mount the device manually at the command line. Thoughts? Thanks in advance

Calendar widget showing events from KOrganizer
by Syam Krishnan 10 Oct '16

10 Oct '16

Is there a desktop calendar widget that can show KOrganizer events? Or at least show events from an iCalendar file? There's one 'Event Calendar' widget which shows events from Google Calendar. What I'm looking for is something similar, but one that can display locally stored events. I found a forum post During Fedora 22 time: https://lists.stg.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.o… Syam

plasma-5.8.0 avilable in copr
by Rex Dieter 08 Oct '16

08 Oct '16

For those of you who want a quick sneak-peak at plasma-5.8.0, builds are avilable in copr, https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kdesig/plasma-5-unstable/ Feedback is welcome and encouraged. I've only done one quick upgrade test (on f24 box), and restarted my session. Nothing exploded. :) Doing official updates may have to wait a bit, as Fedora 25 is currently in beta freeze. -- Rex

5.8 multiscreen problems
by Steven Haigh 07 Oct '16

07 Oct '16

I already had some issues with multiscreen in 5.7, but some things seem to get better with 5.8 - and also some things getting worse. Previous bug report: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=367917 System 1: Hardware: nVidia 1060 with nvidia drivers. Screens: 3 x 24" 1920x1080 screens. Problem: The main screen (DVI-D) seems to work ok as Folder mode and saves the settings. The screens on either side of that (DP-1 & DP-5) will not keep their setting and keep reverting to 'factory default' folder view with icon rows / wallpapers on logging on. System 2: Hardware: Dell Latitude with intel graphics Screens: 2 x DVI screens via docking station. Problem: On logging in with a new user account (an empty $HOME), I get the 'factory default' view on both screens. No panel is displayed. If you right click the desktop, then Add Panel, nothing displays. doing "killall plasmashell && plasmashell &" via krunner (Alt + F2), then upon loading plasmashell, I get the normal panel plus an extra panel for every "Add Panel" selected. -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz(a)crc.id.au Web: https://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897
