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/*

Problem using a second display with wayland
by José Abílio Matos 27 Sep '18

27 Sep '18

Hi, I am not sure if the is the best place to ask but here it goes. :-) The laptop that I am using has two graphic cards: # lspci -nnk | grep -i vga -A3 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0116] (rev 09) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:050e] Kernel driver in use: i915 Kernel modules: i915 -- 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF108M [GeForce GT 540M] [10de:0df4] (rev a1) Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:050e] Kernel driver in use: nouveau Kernel modules: nouveau When using plasma under X I can use a second display (using the HDMI interface). It works perfectly, e.g. it remembers that different displays have different placements. When testing plasma under wayland the second display is not seen and even using System Settings->Display only shows the laptop screen. FWIW I am using the latest kernel on F28, with the plasma packages from mkyral-plasma-unstable. In any case in all my tests this year this has never worked. A second issue that I have when I test plasma under wayland is that session information is forgotten. Not a big deal since I ca use the information present in ~/.config/session to restore the sessions but it is nuisance nevertheless. :-) Regards, -- José Abílio

el7, kde, libvpx and gstreamer-plugins-good
by John Pilkington 23 Sep '18

23 Sep '18

I have up-to-date F27 and SL7x (el7 clone) KDE boxes running mythtv-master installed from rpms built locally with this script - or, for el7, a slightly modified earlier version of it that disabled libvpx. https://github.com/garybuhrmaster/packaging/blob/master/MythTV/rpm/README mythtv-master requires a version of libvpx later than the one in the standard el7 repos, and the script now uses a COPR build that provides libvpx.so.5()(64bit). gstreamer-plugins-good requires libvpx.so.1()(64bit) mythtv does not require the gstreamer plugin, but it looks as if removing it would take most of KDE too. This surprises me. Is there an alternative? TIA John P
