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

xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.99.917-19.20151206.fc23 (re)enabled dri3 by default
by Rex Dieter 27 Aug '16

27 Aug '16

In the not-too-distant past, a xorg-x11-drv-intel update reverted back to default dri2 because dri3 was to unstable and too-often resulted in plasmashell freezes, see also: https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-8616 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223477 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1223477 A new update came this past week turning dri3 back on, https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-606ca05253 Please help test this if you are able. For *me*, it's pretty good, but I've now experienced at least 3 plasmashell deadlocks (when left idle and screen off) similar to past results when using dri3. And... oddly, chrome seems to freeze similar to plasmashell sometimes too. -- Rex

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

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

kde buggy, trying out cinnamon
by Neal Becker 01 Apr '16

01 Apr '16

I'm finding kde has become too buggy. Frustrations are: 1. windows don't respect panel, fullscreen windows will go under the panel. 2. power management has become very flaky. When on battery, configuration is to dim, and after some time suspend. screen does dim (totally!), but does not respond when keys/mouse touched. Instead, only Fn+f6 will turn on the screen. Suspend seems to have broken. 3. screenlock is configured to activate after 10 minutes. It has stopped working (never activates). So I decided to try cinnamon. It seems much less buggy. Almost perfect in most respects, although I don't like that I can't see all the apps on all the workspaces in the taskbar, as in kde. Makes switching a lot less pleasant. Power management seems to work fine. But cinnamon seems to have a deal-breaking issue for me. The fonts on KDE look much better. I can't understand why. I do have this .fonts.conf: <?xml version='1.0'?> <!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM 'fonts.dtd'> <fontconfig> <match target="pattern"> <edit name="dpi" mode="assign">96</edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="antialias"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hinting"> <bool>true</bool> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="hintstyle"> <const>hintslight</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="rgba"> <const>rgb</const> </edit> </match> <match target="font"> <edit mode="assign" name="lcdfilter"> <const>lcddefault</const> </edit> </match> <dir>~/.fonts</dir> </fontconfig>

digikam5 geotagging
by Chris Rouch 30 Mar '16

30 Mar '16

I'm running a beta of digikam5 under fedora 23. Previously with digikam4 there was a geotagging option under the Image menu. In digikam5 the Image menu has become the Item menu, but the geotagging option is no longer there. Has it moved somewhere else, or is it not implemented yet? Regards, Chris

f24 kde spin: consider disabling session management by default
by Rex Dieter 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Given that session management is still largely a work-in-progress and is (imo) far from something that "just works" (1). I'd like the kde-sig to consider disabling session management by default in f24. The details being that we'd likely effectively set systemsettings5-> startup&shutdown -> session management -> "start with empty session" (or possibly "restore manually saved session") rather than default "Restore previous session" I suggest this because I feel that default-enabled features should give users the expectation that they actually work. -- Rex (1) there are a fair number of outstanding issues, and many unsolved bugs (though many of them may be dups). I can dig up details and references if needed. That said, I'd rather not discuss the details of what is broken in this thread, but hopefully establish the fact that session management is far from working as expected.

About KDE distributions' list
by Mustafa Muhammad 27 Mar '16

27 Mar '16

Hi, I found an insightful mailing list thread on KDE distributions list https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/distributions/2016-March/000033.html Late replies have some ideas about what to include and what to not include for the best of users AND KDE. I hope more Fedora KDE developers (I thing Rex is on that list) read the opinions presented there and maybe subscribe if not already :) Regards Mustafa
