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

KDE Telepathy Bonjour account: This IM Account cannot be created - a Telepathy Connection Manager named 'salut' is missing or it cannot handle protocol 'local-xmpp'. Please try installing salut with your package manager.
by Dennis Schridde 10 Jun '19

Hi! I was trying to setup a Bonjour (local XMPP) account in KDE Plasma System Settings for KDE Telepathy. In `System Settings > Online Accounts > Create`, I clicked "Bonjour" in the list on the right. This action was answered with an error dialogue box: "This IM Account cannot be created - a Telepathy Connection Manager named 'salut' is missing or it cannot handle protocol 'local-xmpp'. Please try installing salut with your package manager." However, `telepathy-salut` is already installed on my machine. Does anyone have an idea how to debug this, or where I would find the actual error message that led to this? I am using Fedora 27 KDE, with telepathy-salut currently being at version 0.8.1 (release 12.fc27), telepathy-mission control at version 5.16.4 (epoch 1, release 4.fc27) and ktp-accounts-kcm at version 17.12.1(release 1.fc27). Best regards, Dennis

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

Emacs key binding in KDE Plasma 5?
by Sherman Grunewagen 21 May '19

21 May '19

Just moved from Fedora 21 to F25. Under F21 I had a file ~/.gtkrc-2.0 which contained gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" This enabled basic Emacs cursor motion keyboard commands in text input boxes throughout KDE, Firefox, &c. (Outside of input boxes, KDE shortcuts ruled.) How can I get this same behaviour for Plasma 5 w/in F25? From reading around, I've created ~/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini and inserted [Settings] gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs in this empty file. This has given the desired result in Firefox and Thunderbird, but not w/in arbitrary text boxes in KDE (e.g. Alt-F2). The ~/.gtkrc-2.0 file is still intact, by the way. It seems to have no effect. Any ideas? -Sherman

SDDM Themes not working
by Gerald B. Cox 06 Mar '19

06 Mar '19

I find that I now cannot select themes - and I'm getting either a solid white or blue background when SDDM starts. When I tried to test, this is what I received: sddm-greeter --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze [11:43:09.032] (II) GREETER: High-DPI autoscaling not Enabled [11:43:09.108] (EE) GREETER: Socket error: "QLocalSocket::connectToServer: Invalid name" [11:43:09.109] (EE) GREETER: Cannot connect to the daemon - is it running? [11:43:09.317] (II) GREETER: Loading file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml... [11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml: No such file or directory [11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: file:///usr/share/sddm/themes/01-fedora-breeze/Main.qml: No such file or directory [11:43:09.317] (WW) GREETER: Fallback to embedded theme Wanted to see if there was a quick fix or if this is known before I create a bug report. I didn't see anything on bugzilla, but might have missed it. Thanks!

Re: Xorg on F29

As long as this ML is active and users like us are participating, yes. However I didn't get your question. Plasma desktop by default uses xorg server unlike GNOME. So that is a dependency until wayland support on plasma is perfected. আমার স্যামসাং গ্যালাক্সি স্মার্টফোন থেকে পাঠানো হয়েছে। null

Language settings
by Klaus Kolle 25 Nov '18

25 Nov '18

Hi I've upgraded my Fedora KDE 27 to 29 recently. Now I cannot open documents, etc. that contains Danish letters. In Regional->Language settings I have British English set with dansk as a second choice, because I prefer to have all program menus etc. in English rather than mixed English and Danish. In Regional->Format settings I have Danmark set for the region an also in the Detailed settings everything is set to Danmark for numbers, time, currency, measurement unit and collation and sorting. Anytime a file or the path to the file contains æ, ø, å, Æ, Ø or Å Libreoffice fails to load the document. In the previous version of Fedora it worked well. What could be wrong? |< -- Med venlig hilsen Klaus Kolle Teknikumingeniør, B.Sc.EE., e-mail : klaus(a)kolle.dk Master of IT www : www.kolle.dk Kollundvej 5 Telephone : +4586829682 / +4522216044 DK-8600 Silkeborg, Denmark "Man skal ikke tilskrive til sammensværgelser hvad der tilstrækkeligt kan forklares af inkompetence" Poul Henning Kamp Planlægning er tanker om noget man agter at gøre en gang i fremtiden, hvis omstændighederne tillader det.
