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

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!

Amarok, Juk & Elisa
by Joe Buckley 03 Nov '18

03 Nov '18

I hope this is appropriate. I'm not a contributor, but I am a long-time KDE (Fedora) user who has an extensive music collection on my lap-top. Since I saw the discussion about dropping Amarok (because of the use of qt4???) I installed and tried to configure juk. My experience is - it's not quite ready for prime time. Once juk is given a directory it creates a "collection" (it's a surprisingly confusing term!). That collection cannot be changed (or at least, the way to change it is lost in the mists of antiquity). Apparently, "collection" is not "directory" or "folder". A folder, once created, cannot be removed without crashing juk. At least, I found a way to create a folder that crashes juk when any attempt to remove from juk is made. Playlists are displayed in no known order. It is certainly not alphabetical. Column order cannot be changed. Changes to the settings (like, removing the comment column) are not retained from session to session. I'm starting to hope that Amarok is kept in the live image. -- */~ Joe Buckley/*

Kinoite, a KDE version of Fedora Silverblue
by Timothée Ravier 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Hi! This is proof of concept to build a KDE based version of Fedora Silverblue. I called it Kinoite because it had to start with a 'K' and Kinoite is a blue mineral. The resulting desktop only has Firefox and Konsole as main applications installed by default (the minimum for easy Flatpak/Flathub usage). **This has only been tested inside a virtual machine for now, so use at your own risk!** Instructions to try it out on an already installed Fedora Silverblue system: curl -O https://tim.siosm.fr/downloads/siosm_gpg.pub sudo ostree remote add kinoite https://siosm.fr/kinoite/ --gpg-import siosm_gpg.pub sudo ostree admin pin 0 sudo rpm-ostree rebase kinoite:fedora/28/x86_64/kinoite Instructions to build your own: git clone https://pagure.io/fork/siosm/workstation-ostree-config sudo rpm-ostree compose tree --repo=ostree_repo --cachedir=ostree_cache workstation-ostree-config/kinoite.json The changes are available in the following repositories: https://pagure.io/fork/siosm/fedora-comps (master) https://pagure.io/fork/siosm/workstation-ostree-config (f28-kinoite branch) Unfortunately, the current configuration layout makes it hard to switch base packages without duplicating the entire config tree. Thus the Kinoite config is simply a copy of the Silverblue one and is not integrated at all. See also the discussion at: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/kinoite-a-kde-version-of-fedora-silv… Hope you like it!

Plasma 5.13
by Matthieu Gras 27 Jul '18

27 Jul '18

Upstream released Plasma 5.13.3. Are there any reasons why Plasma is still at 5.13.1 in Rawhide and not even in testing for F28?

Missing dependencies
by Matthieu Gras 26 Jul '18

26 Jul '18

Hi, it seems that there is a dependency for plasma-workspace which is missing (maybe only on plasma 5.13.3) namely: qqc2-desktop-style Not having this packages causes this bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi? id=396888 which is a duplicate of https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=395097
