2017-11-27 @ 17:00 UTC - Fedora 27/28 Blocker Review Meeting
by Adam Williamson 26 Nov '17

26 Nov '17

# F27/28 Blocker Review meeting # Date: 2017-11-27 # Time: 17:00 UTC # Location: #fedora-blocker-review on irc.freenode.net Hi folks! We have one proposed blocker for Modular Server Final, and a few proposed blockers for Fedora 28 Beta and Final, so let's have a quick review meeting tomorrow. If you have time tonight, you can take a look at the proposed or accepted blockers before the meeting - the full lists can be found here: https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/ . We'll be evaluating these bugs to see if they violate any of the Release Criteria and warrant the blocking of a release if they're not fixed. Information on the release criteria for F27/28 can be found on the wiki [0]. For more information about the Blocker and Freeze exception process, check out these links: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_freeze_exception_bug_process And for those of you who are curious how a Blocker Review Meeting works - or how it's supposed to go and you want to run one - check out the SOP on the wiki: - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_Blocker_Bug_Meeting Have a good evening and see you tomorrow!

ibus input not working on Plasma widgets
by Syam Krishnan 23 Nov '17

23 Nov '17

Hello, I have ibus configured for Indic language input (Malayalam mostly). While I am able to correctly type in Thunderbird, Kate, Dolphin address bar etc, it does not work in Plasma widgets - desktop notes or KRunner. Do I need to install anything special or make any configurations specifically for Plasma widgets? On Fedora 26, KDE Spin, x86-64 Thanks, Syam

Ctrl-Meta-8 in Konsole
by Patrick Boutilier 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Any idea what the purpose is? Shows stuff from /etc/hosts . Also works with other keys after Ctrl-Meta but that will also add to your command line (usually an s).

dnfdragora updater
by Mattia Verga 20 Nov '17

20 Nov '17

Is there any way to stop dnfdragora-updater to show in the taskbar? I can't find any setting in the main dnfdragora gui and right-click/exit doesn't prevent it to show up again at next startup. Mattia

f26 and konqueror
by John Pilkington 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

Hi: My upgrade from 25 to f26 went fairly smoothly although installation of an unexpected nvidia update deleted all the downloaded packages before they had been used... But as a longstanding user of konqueror as file manager I'm finding things have changed. I had set 'kdesu kfmclient openProfile filemanagement' in the launcher, with a warning colour scheme for use as root, and I have the kannolo-root-unlocker installed - but it just quits after entering the password, and using 'Ignore' produces 'error:/?error=105&errText=' although it can then be used as non-root. All my old bookmarks have vanished too. I see there's a query on the fedora list about Open Office compatibility too. I haven't investigated that. I'm aware that konq has been out of fashion for a long time - but am I missing some compatibility package? TIA, John P

Latest K desktop update causes system hangs
by Temlakos 18 Nov '17

18 Nov '17

Everyone: What did the developers do to the K Desktop? This morning I took the upgrade--all 100-odd parts of it. And ever since then, I cannot afford to leave my system on for more than an hour--two hours at the outside--without having it get progressively slower and then hang up. I've had to force-shutdown my system and restart it to get anything done. I've tried reverting to the "last known good kernel." No joy. The desktop is now at fault. I wouldn't know where to begin for filing a bug--what do I file the bug against? All I know is--it's going to take another K desktop upgrade to fix this. Until then, I'm running my system only intermittently. Temlakos

KDE mounted USB stick, cannot copy files to.
by Robin Laing 18 Nov '17

18 Nov '17

Hello, Just updated my F26 and went to copy some files to a stick for transfer. If I try to copy a file either with drag and drop or using Konsole and cp, the system will not copy the full file and will just freeze. I tried different sticks on the system with no luck. I have tested with the same results on two different computers with different sticks. It looks like I can copy small files but large files won't work. Even if I try copy files using sudo, it still does the same thing, using 3 or 4 processors to 100% and the copy process hangs. I can mount the stick manually using sudo and copy files with no issue. Mount differences are: This is what mount shows when I use the KDE desktop /dev/sdc1 on /run/media/user/MyStick type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,uid=1100,gid=1100,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,showexec,utf8,flush,errors=remount-ro,uhelper=udisks2) Mounting by sudo /dev/sdc1 on /mnt/temp type vfat (rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro) ps shows that the process is waiting for the drive with a D+ in the status. It will do this for an hour if I leave it. I don't know where to start looking to report a bug to provide more details for the bug report. Robin
