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.

kwallet manager and Network connection at startup
by PropAAS DBA 10 Aug '18

10 Aug '18

Hi all; I'm running Fedora 28 KDE spin on a thinkpad P52s, when I login the network manager spins and spins waiting for authorization, then it fails saying no secrets were provided, then it connects. I cannot do anything else on the laptop until this completes. In previous installs the kwallet manager would prompt me for the wallet password and then the network would connect immediately. Is there a way to restore this behavior? Thanks in advance

No blur on Konsole in Plasm 5.13
by Sumit Bhardwaj 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

Hi All, I just now updated my Fedora Workstation 28 installation after few days, which also has KDE Plasma Desktop installed alongside Gnome. I got my plasma updated to 5.13, and went ahead with enabling the new blur effect. I was able to enable it for menus, however, on Konsole, the edit profile page does not show a check box to enable blur in background. I also have openSUSE Tumbleweed on another partition on the same machine and the checkbox is present there and works. Any body knows why is it so on Fedora? Is it intentional?

no panel on wayland kwin-5.13
by Neal Becker 05 Aug '18

05 Aug '18

Glad to see update to 5.13, so thought I'd try plasma on wayland again. Seemed to be working, except I can't get 'pager' widget. If I select this widget, all I get is a blank square on the desktop. Trying to add to panel doesn't display anything. It actually did add the pager to the panel though, when I switched back to plasma on X11 I had 3 pagers on the panel (2 I added under wayland that didn't display). The other thing I haven't worked out is, I use x2go for remote desktop. I have capslock set as alternate control (as anyone old enough to have used DEC terminals would want). Under plasma/X11, when I connect to remote desktop (running mate) I have capslock behaving as I programmed, but under plasma/wayland capslock is not acting as addtional control.

Cannot Set kwin Shortcut Keys After New Install
by Garry Williams 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

I just installed Fedora KDE on a new Dell XPS-13. When I display System Settings -> Workspace -> Shortcuts -> Global Shortcuts, there is no option to set kwin keys! How do I get this option back? -- Garry Williams
