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

time to orphan/retire unmaintained uncommon kde4 language bindings?
by Rex Dieter 28 May '19

28 May '19

Looking over some broken deps reports, I came across some old packages: kdebindings smokeqt smokekde qyoto (csharp/mono) kimono (csharp/mono) ruby-qt ruby-korundum perl-Qt Of these, the only one that's not a pure leaf package is perl-Qt (debconf- kde depends on it). any comment or objection to considering orphaning most (all minus smokeqt/perl-Qt) or all of these ? -- Rex

I see that F25 will run wayland by default instead of Xorg. Will kde run on wayland?

I do have a fixed Xorg.conf file and that may make the difference. F23 and F24 Robin

KDE and latest Fedora 24 kernel do not get along
by Charles R. Dennett 06 Dec '16

06 Dec '16

Hi, I've used KDE for years and never had a serious issue. Yesterday (11/19) morning I did a "dnf update" and updated to the latest available patches (I do this every 2-3 weeks or so). Nothing relayed to KDE was updated as far as I could tell, but the kernel was updated from 4.8.4 to 4.8.7. Upon rebooting after the update, I got the sddm login screen as usual. I entered my name and password as usual. The KDE starting splash screen appeared as usual. After that is when the unusual happened. I got a blank screen. No panels (I have one along the bottom), no icons, no initial konsole window. Using Alt-Tab showed the konsole window but I could not bring it to the current screen. The mouse was active. I noticed a faint white line at the left edge. Clicking on it with my mouse and dragging it to the right expanded what was my konsole window. Apparently it was off screen to the left. I rebooted on the older 4.8.4 kernel and all was fine. I removed and reinstalled the 4.8.7 kernel. That did not help. (This morning a newer 4.8.8 kernel and I tried that but it behaved the same as with the 4.8.7 kernel.) Thinking that perhaps something buried in my home directory might be causing this, I created a new user. That new user had the exact same issues. I also looked in ~.xsession-errors. Nothing there that indicated any problem. Nothing in /var/log/Xorg.0.log, either. I didn't see anything in the recent archives of this list. Anyone else seen this issue? I'm out of ideas at this time. I'll keep running the older 4.8.4 kernel since that works. I'll be glad to supply any additional information anyone thinks might help. Thanks for any help or suggestions Charles Dennett

how to get rid of powerdevil with 5.8

is there some sane way to override "/etc/xdg/autostart/powerdevil.desktop" like "systemctl mask" - looks like something is overriding my autostart-item or it#s ignored like "ssh-add" frankly keep your fingers from my display and other powersettings [root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /home/harry/.config/autostart-scripts/display-on.sh #!/usr/bin/bash xset -dpms xset s off ___________________________- Nov 18 18:45:33 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' Nov 18 18:50:31 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Activating service name='org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' requested by ':1.1063' (uid=500 pid=6139 comm="/usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil ") (using servicehelper) Nov 18 18:50:31 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' Nov 18 18:53:25 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Activating service name='org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' requested by ':1.1063' (uid=500 pid=6139 comm="/usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil ") (using servicehelper) Nov 18 18:53:25 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' Nov 18 18:54:40 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Activating service name='org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' requested by ':1.1063' (uid=500 pid=6139 comm="/usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil ") (using servicehelper) Nov 18 18:54:40 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' Nov 18 18:55:55 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Activating service name='org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' requested by ':1.1063' (uid=500 pid=6139 comm="/usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil ") (using servicehelper) Nov 18 18:55:55 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' Nov 18 19:15:50 srv-rhsoft dbus-daemon[934]: [system] Activating service name='org.kde.powerdevil.backlighthelper' requested by ':1.1063' (uid=500 pid=6139 comm="/usr/libexec/org_kde_powerdevil ") (using servicehelper)

okular5 and kile beta
by Enrique Artal 01 Dec '16

01 Dec '16

Dear members of the list: First, I would like to thank people making possible to use kde in Fedora. I found this unofficial repo http://compsci.cas.vanderbilt.edu/Fedora/local/ with rpm and srpm packages of okular5 and the new (beta) version of kile. Are there any plans to have these packages in Fedora? Live Preview is a very nice feature. Best, Enrique.

No KDE option when logging on on FC24 desktop
by Tom Baron 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Hi All - I am switching over to a new desktop which has FC24 already installed on it. I am trying to get KDE installed and working. The first thing I tried (from the Fedora KDE wiki) was "dnf install @kde-desktop", but it said there was nothing to do: ... Last metadata expiration check: 1:49:36 ago on Mon Nov 28 09:39:00 2016. Group 'KDE' is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! After some googling, I then successfully did "yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces", but there was still no KDE option in the session menu after logging out. I have tried various things since, including: yum install kdebase-workspace yum install kdm systemctl enable gdm systemctl enable kdm But the problem persists. I am admittedly shotgunning here, but I am not sure what else to do. Any help appreciated.. Thanks, Tom

No KDE option in session menu
by Tom Baron 28 Nov '16

28 Nov '16

Hi All - I recently got a new desktop with Fedora 24 installed, and I am trying to install/configure KDE. I tried doing "dnf install @kde-desktop" as stated on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KDE#Installing_KDE_Plasma_Workspaces, but it said it was already installed: dnf install @kde-desktop Last metadata expiration check: 1:49:36 ago on Mon Nov 28 09:39:00 2016. Group 'KDE' is already installed, skipping. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! I then did some googling and tried the following: yum groupinstall "KDE Plasma Workspaces". This did install a bunch of packages, but after logging out the KDE option still does not show up in the session menu. Keeping with my shotgun mentality, I tried: yum install kdebase-workspace systemctl disable gdm systemctl enable kdm system-switch-displaymanager kdm But no change. Any help is greatly appreciated.. Thanks, Tom
