[SNIP] Florian's description of "black scrren and cursor" sounds like text mode, not an x-windows dispaly. That being said, I don't get that problem, and I never put my system to the sleep/hibernate state - but I get what sounds like something simlar in principle at least once per day and often as many as 4-6 times in a day when I unlock the screen. To me the worst part is when the screen is unlocked and this happens, there is (of course) no panel, and all I can see is the black screen with whatever windows were open when I locked the screen. Any windows which were iconized when I locked it are impossible to get to. ASIDE: +I don't know whether it's related or not, but frequently (possibly always, although I don't always keep top running somewhere to determine whether this is the case) before this happens I'll notice a krunner process which is using extremely large of amounts cpu (>100% for more than a few seconds). That causes me to wonder whether something in krunner gets caught in a loop. Sometimes I use the same sequence as Florian ("kquitapp plasmashell & plasmashall") but it doesn't always work. FWIW I also get FREQUENT error message boxes telling me that this or that kde component has crashed. Sometimes I believe they have; however, more often a search of /var/log and/or /var/account/pacct does not record the crash and I suspect some other glitch in kde5 is causing a false error message. I've been using the KDE desktop on virtually every machine where I have a login for longer than I can remember, and the many glitches in kde5 make me long for the stability, usefulness, and configurability of kde4. - wwa -- william w. austin airedad(a)att.net "life is just another phase i'm going through. this time, anyway ..."

PIM 16.04 F24
by Colin J Thomson 11 Jun '16

11 Jun '16

Hi, I have been struggling to rebuild/install the required DEV packages F25 > F24 so I can rebuild the PIM F25 src.rpms for this F24 box. There are a lot of split packages and after a few weeks struggling I think its time to ask.. Is the PIM suite 16.04.x planned for F24 or is there a COPR for PIM somewhere. I ask as I really miss using Kmail with my other IMAP accounts and since applications 15.12 there has been a huge number of fixes in PIM and for IMAP. FWIW on this F24 Desktop box, Single monitor/Nouveau KF5/Plasma is working very very well, stable and no real issues here at all. Colin -- Roundcube open source webmail software

Issue with Chrome and Unity Launcher Support (requires libunity)
by Gerald B. Cox 08 Jun '16

08 Jun '16

I noticed an issue running chrome-unstable where download status wasn't being displayed: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=604171 This also applied to chrome-beta. It worked for chrome-stable and chromium. I initially thought it had to do with the version of chrome - i.e. there was some type of regression. Now it appears that when the version of chrome-unstable moved into stable the issue was resolved. The version in stable had the exact same number as that which didn't work in unstable, which leads to to believe that instead of there being an issue on the chrome side, instead this is an issue on the kde side where something is coded in such a way that it is looking for a "stable" designation for chrome in order to function. That just seems a bit wacky to me, like why would anyone do that... but that is how it appears. I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this issue and is seeing the same results? If so, I would consider this a kde bug rather than chrome. Thanks!

F24 karma requests (blocker/FE fixes)
by Adam Williamson 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hey folks! Unfortunately we're still waiting on a fix for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1320273 before we can build a release candidate. While we're waiting, though, as well as doing the missing validation tests on the current nominated nightly, it'd be useful for folks to test and karma some FE / blocker updates: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-b0494cdc04 (anaconda) fixes several FEs. If you aren't set up to build your own installer image, you can boot a live image and update the anaconda package before running the live installer - that's a decent way to test most aspects. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-714119426f (cloud- utils) fixes a blocker bug in the cloud images. I think you need to be able to build a Cloud image to be able to fully test the fix, which is why I'm CCing cloud@ :) https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-a7c55ce2fa (firefox) fixes an FE but also introduces quite a lot more change, so it'd be good to have it carefully tested; if everyone who uses firefox could update to it and check all their usual stuff works, that'd be great. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-7e822d9239 (qt5) fixes a KDE crasher; it'd be great if KDE folks could update to it, make sure their stuff all still works normally, and +1 it if so. There's also a flock of FTBFS / dependency rebuild fixes: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-a88e158b2c https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-6166f85051 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-a7af5e90d1 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-54554f20d4 for those all that's really needed is to verify that they have no dependency issues, and ideally that they start up and do...something (or if they're libraries, that something based on them starts up and works).

Plasma won't wake up after sleep. Black screen with cursor.
by Sudhir Khanger 07 Jun '16

07 Jun '16

Hi, At least twice this week when I woke up my system from sleep instead of lock screen I am presented with black screen and cursor. There is no way for me to get back to working system except go to tty and restart sddm or reboot system. Htop doesn't seem to show any obvious culprit. This is highly undesirable as I keep losing my unsaved work. Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com.

Recent Apps doesn't seem to be populating in AppDash
by Sudhir Khanger 04 Jun '16

04 Jun '16

Hi, It seems like recent apps has stopped populating itself in AppDash starting with 5.6 update. I also noticed my recent apps history was wiped out on update. User history should never be deleted without a users permission. -- Regards, Sudhir Khanger, sudhirkhanger.com.
