What package may be at fault here...
by Ed Greshko 24 Feb '17

24 Feb '17

I use ibus to enter Chinese and Japanese text. Sometimes when I login to my KDE session all the ibus process have started and i can switch input methods by using the WindowsKey+Space. However, the ibus icon does not appear in the system tray and there is no IBus Panel in the System Tray Settings "Entries" options. If I restart plasmashell the icon shows as well as the entry in Settings. Not sure what component to report this against or how to begin to debug. -- Fedora Users List - The place to go to get others to do the work for you

Plasma 5.x vs Fedora KDE rollout schedules
by P Breviglieri 22 Feb '17

22 Feb '17

Team, apologies in advance for my question if it sounds inconvenient. The Plasma 5 development team maintains a detailed rollout schedule currently reaching 5.11. Does the Fedora KDE spin dev team work on a release schedule for Fedora KDE attempting to match in some way the dates foreseen for Plasma versions? Or is the decision on incorporating new Plasma 5 releases made on a case by case basis, considering its suitability (makes sense or not), resources available etc.? I assume that resources to maintain Fedora KDE may be limited, but it would be nice to have some visibility on when upcoming releases of Plasma 5 will be added to which Fedora KDE versions, even if tentative. In the present situation, as an example, how is the team manipulating the current availability of 5.9, the planned launch of 5.10 (end of May) and the planned GA for Fedora 26 (mid June)? Any insights would be welcome! Thank you.

by Neal Becker 20 Feb '17

20 Feb '17

kdiff3 is FTBFS on rawhide, problem is here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=1252769 it seems kdebase4-devel is missing. kdiff3 was last updated in 2014, and requires kde4. Will we have to stop support for kdiff3?

something wrong with plasma update widget since 2017
by Peter G. 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

The update widget runs automatically, even though I turned off automatic updates in system settings. Still, when I right- click on the widget, a completely different and reduced set of options appears, which does not include turning it off. While I don't mind it running, even though I do all of my system updating on the command line, the widget runs every hour or more, it would appear and generates endless error output, always the following: "The task was forcibly canceled The task was canceled successfully and no packages were changed. The backend did not exit cleanly." How can I either have it run correctly or just turn it off?

Dolphin does not display svg icons for directories
by José Abílio Matos 10 Feb '17

10 Feb '17

Hi, this is tiny annoyance that appeared sometime (probably more than one year). In dolphin I like to personalize the icons for some directories in my home. In one of those directories I use a svg icon and sometime ago (probably more than one year) this stopped to work. The interesting thing is that I use the right button to get the properties of the directory the icon shows correctly there. Is this a bug or a non feature that worked by accident before? Again this is minor in the sense that there are workarounds but it would be nice to be able to use svg. Regards, -- José Abílio

by Roderick Johnstone 07 Feb '17

Hi Fully updated F24 system running Plasma desktop. Dual screen setup. Screen locks correctly after time set in Energy Saving / Suspend session After Screen goes into energy saving (screen blanks) after time set in Energy Saving / Screen Energy Saving Switch off after But then the screen immediately comes out of energy saving and sits for ever with the screen locker displayed. Anyone else see this? Any ideas how to fix would be appreciated. Thanks. Roderick Johnstone

sddm nvidia/wayland question F25
by Robin Laing 06 Feb '17

06 Feb '17

My question is about Wayland. Using, sddm, is Xorg the default unless you enable Wayland in the sddm.conf file? I am about to upgrade three other machines and with Nvidia not supporting Wayland, then I want to ensure that I can still use the Nvidia closed source drivers.
