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

time to orphan/retire unmaintained uncommon kde4 language bindings?
by Rex Dieter 28 May '19

28 May '19

Looking over some broken deps reports, I came across some old packages: kdebindings smokeqt smokekde qyoto (csharp/mono) kimono (csharp/mono) ruby-qt ruby-korundum perl-Qt Of these, the only one that's not a pure leaf package is perl-Qt (debconf- kde depends on it). any comment or objection to considering orphaning most (all minus smokeqt/perl-Qt) or all of these ? -- Rex

F26 Talking Points
by Eduard Lucena 05 Jun '17

05 Jun '17

Hi team, I'm Eduard Lucena, and I'm here in the behalf of the Marketing team. As you should know, we prepare a lists of highlights about each release, called Talking Points: Talking points are key highlights of the new release. There are different > types of talking points for different types of people: general desktop > users/everyone, developers, and sysadmins. They are meant to provide a > short, effective answer to the question "What cool stuff is in the latest > release of Fedora?" They are compelling, not necessarily comprehensive > This points help us, as Marketing team, as well to Ambassadors, to publicize each release with the news and cool stuff. For this matter and this release, we have this wiki page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_talking_points and we will be happy to include the new things in the KDE Spin. You can help us in both ways: 1. Editing the wiki directly with the points. 2. Throwing us the list, and we will put them in the wiki. Thanks in advance for your help and for your efforts.

Packaging Kup - naming?
by Mattia Verga 04 May '17

04 May '17

I would like to package Kup [1] for inclusion in Fedora, but I'm a bit confused about naming the package. In Fedora repositories there's already a completely unrelated "kup" package [2], so I cannot name this new package with it's official name. Since Kup is born as a KCM module, I think I can name it "kcm-kup" [3]... but there's really no package in Fedora named "kcm". In fact, looking through the package list I can find six kcm modules, but they are following different name schemas: the oldest three are using the "-" separator (kcm-fcitx, kcm-gtk, kcm-qt-graphicssystem), while the newest three use the "_" (kcm_systemd, kcm_touchpad, kcm_wacomtablet) which is a violation of naming guidelines [4]. Another alternative could be naming it "kf5-kup" (?) Suggestions are welcome. Thanks Mattia [1] https://github.com/spersson/Kup [2] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/pkgdb/package/rpms/kup/ [3] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming?rd=Packaging:NamingGuidelin… [4] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Naming?rd=Packaging:NamingGuidelin…

KeePassX ignore Plasma fonts after 5.9 update
by Sudhir Khanger 30 Apr '17

30 Apr '17

Hello, After Plasma 5.9, KeePassX looks pretty weird with huge fonts. https://www.dropbox.com/s/gn479h2df4qpcw3/Screenshot_20170430-194731.png?dl… Any idea what happened in 5.9 update to have caused this. Regards, Sudhir.

Fedura user handbook
by Germano Massullo 29 Apr '17

29 Apr '17

While I was reading Jiri Eischmann post https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/translate-fedora-user-handbook/ I started thinking about a beginner guide that I wrote years ago at the time of Fedora KDE4 [1] [2] I wrote such guide because I was introducing many people to Fedora KDE, and I had not found any guide that satisfied me. If Fedora KDE community is interested in having an handbook, I could update my guide to Plasma 5, translate it in English and upload it to Pagure. Please let me know Have a nice day [1]: https://fedorapeople.org/~germano/canc/Guida_Fedora_KDE.pdf [2]: https://github.com/Germano0/fedora-guida-principianti

As I mentioned in a status report mail yesterday, openQA seems to hit crashes / hangs in KDE startup quite often also; it sometimes just gets stuck with the KDE splash screen partly complete, or winds up at a black screen with a KDE-ish cursor visible but nothing else. I haven't had time to dig into the logs and see if I could diagnose a pattern to the failures, though... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net

Hi, All. After today's daily upgrade, KDE 5.9 is installed at Fedora 25. But, some times 100% CPU used by plasmashell. Is it https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1432619 ? Does anyone have any idea? -- Robert Lu <robberphex(a)gmail.com> About me: http://about.me/RobberPhex

kwin / plasmashell not starting
by Ian Malone 17 Apr '17

17 Apr '17

Has anyone else experienced this? Fairly frequently I find that kwin on F25 is not starting on login, there are no window decorations (e.g. title bar) and all new windows start at top left with no apparent way to move them. The solution seems to be to start a console and run "kstart kwin". This morning however I didn't even have a desktop, just a cursor and an otherwise black screen. What was working was that typing brought up the command bar at the top of the screen, so I was able to start konsole. "kstart kwin" and "kstart kwin --replace" didn't seem to achieve anything (though maybe I could have waited longer), eventually tried "kstart plasmashell" and things seemed to run again. This is the nouveau driver. I've had problems on F25 with getting stuck at the splash screen ("K") after login, but adding nomodeset to the kernel line in grub seemed to alleviate that, and I was using nomodeset this morning. -- imalone http://ibmalone.blogspot.co.uk
