qt-5.6.0 for f22?
by Rex Dieter 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Started working on bootstrapping Qt-5.6.0 for f23/epel7/el6 today... and was thinking that perhaps it's getting a bit close to f22's end of lifetime to be pushing any big updates (like qt-5.6.0). Anyone with strong feelings one way or the other? In particular, anyone using Qt-5.6.0 copr, https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/g/kdesig/Qt5/ on f22 with good results (compared with stock qt-5.5.1 experience)? -- Rex

Session restore: wIndows not being correctly restored
by Patrick O'Callaghan 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

[Reposting to keep this searate from the discussion of what the default settings should be] This was discussed at one time (https://lists.fedoraproject.org/piperma il/kde/2015-April/014478.html) but never got anywhere. In brief: I use Session Restore under KDE. I have a number of desktops and most windows are restored correctly on the correct desktops. The ones that appear to have problems are non-KDE apps. Specifically: * Firefox starts on the correct desktop but with the "This is embarassing" error page. On clicking the button, the extra window starts up correctly with all its tabs, but on the current desktop rather the assigned one. * Chrome doesn't start at all. When started manually, it fires up all the correct windows and tabs but on the current desktop instead of the assigned ones. I have manually configured the desktop settings for these apps, but of course that assumes the app lives on only one desktop. I am now on kf5-plasma-5.19.0-2.fc23.x86_64, using SDDM and Kwin. I'm open to suggestions but have basically given up on hearing from the developers (see https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343875). poc

Konqueror and SMB-Protocol
by Reindl Harald 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

why in the world is Konqueror using the stoneold NT1 protocol and even not to connect when "client min protocol" is enforced to SMB2 or SMB3? it's somehow pervert when you have a recent samba server running Fedora 23 and the only client which does not support recent SMB versions is a Fedora 23 machine on the other side Samba version 4.3.6 PID Username Group Machine Protocol Version ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10190 **** apache 192.168.196.242 (ipv4:192.168.196.242:51290) SMB2_10 15755 **** apache 192.168.196.208 (ipv4:192.168.196.208:57324) SMB3_02 17687 reindl apache 192.168.196.99 (ipv4:192.168.196.99:43862) NT1 32263 ***** apache 192.168.196.243 (ipv4:192.168.196.243:60900) SMB3_00

Running kwalletmanager5 on a different computer via ssh fails
by José Abílio Matos 24 Mar '16

24 Mar '16

Again using ssh X forward I am unable to run kwalletmanager5, I get Couldn't start kwalletd: QDBusError("org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Spawn.ChildSignaled", "Process org.kde.kwalletd5 received signal 6") kwalletmanager4 does not have this problem and works. I notice this because I run kontact via ssh, forwarding X, and in F23 (using the kwallet-4) it worked while in F-24 (using kwallet-5) it does not connect to kwallet-5. Regards, -- José Abílio

Attempting for governance position @KDE SIG
by Christian Dersch 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi Fedora KDE people! I'm Christian, mostly known as "lupinix" (@IRC) and a Fedora contributor for few years now. While I'm hanging around in #fedora-kde for almost my whole time @Fedora and comaintaing some related packages (e.g. KStars), I'd like to spend more time for the SIG. One reason (besides heavy usage of KDE software of course ;) is the Astronomy Spin, which is an extended KDE Spin with an enhanced software collection. So as I use this beautiful work as a base for the Astronomy Spin, I want to contribute and help there too. After last meeting we had a short discussion about the governance (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Plasma_Product_Governance?rd=Fedora_P…), since Kevin stepped down in October, there is an open position. Rex asked my if I want to step in there and it seems to be one possibility for me to help the SIG to go forward. So, feel free to comment, agree or disagree :) I'll be present in next SIG meeting too. Greetings, Christian

Please help test F24 Alpha candidate 7!
by Adam Williamson 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Hi folks! We have a new Fedora 24 Alpha candidate compose (like an 'RC' in earlier cycles) and go/no-go is tomorrow, so if you could please help test it, that would be great! The Desktop validation page is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_24_Alpha_1.7_Desktop and has download links. You can enter your results by editing the results tables directly (please follow the instructions on the page for that) or using the 'relval' tool - 'dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing install relval', 'relval report-results'. It'd be great if people could help knock out at least the Alpha tests for both KDE and GNOME, and of course if we can do the Beta and Final tests too it helps us find blockers earlier. There were changes to mesa, kde-settings, plasma-workspace and desktop-backgrounds since candidate 6, so it'd be good if a few different people can test on different hardware just to make sure nothing broke horribly. Thanks a lot folks! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

30 sec hangs when interacting with plasmashell and screenlocker
by Sandro Mani 22 Mar '16

22 Mar '16

Hi Since sometime last week on rawhide I'm hitting frequent 30sec hangs, typically when interacting with the plasma shell and with the screen locker. I've tried downgrading kernel and xorg, but the issue persists. Has anyone encountered similar issues and perhaps figured out which update is to blame resp. what needs to be downgraded? Thanks Sandro

plasma-workspace-5.5.5-3 quite broken
by Ed Greshko 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Today I wanted to attempt to track down what may be causing kwin to crash consistently for me on first login. So, I created a new user. In doing so I found that no default apps were created in the "Favorites" portion of the menu. So, I tried to go about adding apps to favorites by right clicking on them. The result was no dialog box would appear and then after a short time plasma-shell would crash. This happens on 3 systems I've tested. The abrt process reports this as a dup of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1313419 It always happens for me so I wonder if it happens for others. -- In reality, some people should stick to running Windows and others should stay away from computers altogether.

Is this the most useless error message in KDE?
by Patrick O'Callaghan 21 Mar '16

21 Mar '16

Very occasionally, and for no reason I can think of, I get a pop-up with this message: "Oops, it looks like a problem has ocurred in a component. The problem has been reported." I assume it's from some part of KDE, mainly due to its appearance, but apart from that, there is NO useful information: 1) Who is telling me this? 2) What is the problem? 3) What is the component? 4) Who has it been reported to, and how? 5) What can I do about it? poc

Icons not showing when running qt5 applications via ssh (but not only)
by José Abílio Matos 18 Mar '16

18 Mar '16

Hi, when I use X forward over ssh to run qt5 applications on another computer icons do not show. Attached is an example of what I see. As an example when I open System Setting (systemsettings5) the categories do not show any icon. The same happens in applications like kontact or kpat (cards game). As far as I can see a pattern the problem only occurs with qt5 and not with qt4 applications. Interestingly I notice that after updating to Fedora 24 (pre-alpha) I see some icons (coming from gnome themes?). Another issue that is related is that if I run lyx-2.2 compiled with the qt5 backend and in the preferences I choose "Use icons from system's theme" then most of the icons are gone as well. Is there any workaround? Regards, -- José Abílio
