Crashes
by Steve Grubb 04 Aug '20

04 Aug '20

Hello, I was curious about something. KDE has its own crash handling system. How does this community track any metrics around code stability if upstream gets reports? Kontact has segfaulted 20 times on me today. Each time it says it cannot generate a bug report. Abrtd does not seem to pick up anything. Shouldn't it? How does this community track when a recent update suddenly starts making things crash? Kontact was fine 3 weeks ago. I updated today (3 weeks of patches) and its crashing all the time to the point its unusable. It won't generate a bug report, abrtd seems not to notice either. -Steve

nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith 08 Feb '20

08 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

QT environment variables in F30 and el7 clone (ScientificLinux 7.7)
by John Pilkington 30 Nov '19

30 Nov '19

Hi: I've been running KDE in Fedora <= 30 and SL <= 7.7 for years. I just ran $ printenv and found that, in both, QTDIR, QTINC, PATH, QTLIB are all going through /usr/lib64/qt-3.3 MythTV (from rpms built locally and running from konsole tabs) tells me it is compiled with and using Qt version 5.12.5 in F30 and 5.9.7 in SL7 I have been having a few OSD-related problems with its development branch recently and wonder if they might be related to those outdated environment variables - but just updating them feels reckless. Any advice? Thanks, John P

F31 Qt apps crash on wayland session
by Sérgio Basto 25 Nov '19

25 Nov '19

Hi, Today I saw 3rd case, so I guess the is real an issue on F31 . 1 - VirtualBox https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5383 filed a bug in fedora https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1758724 The maintainer said that the reason for the crash is the hard coded dependencies on X11 API, without forcing the Qt's backend to be the one it depends on. 2 - smplayer https://bugzilla.rpmfusion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5438 3 - Today mixxx commit https://pkgs.rpmfusion.org/cgit/free/mixxx.git/commit/?id=709069aaddacf11bf… Use XCB instead of the default Qt Wayland platform adapter https://bugs.launchpad.net/mixxx/+bug/1850729 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Qt_Wayland_By_Default_On_Gnome -- Sérgio M.

Kst plot - Data Wizard file open dialog opens only directories not files
by Syam Krishnan 24 Nov '19

24 Nov '19

Hi I just installed Kst plot software 2.0.8-23.fc30 on Fedora 30. It has a 'Data wizard' that brings up a dialog, and that has another button that brings up the standard file open dialog so that we can select a plot data file. I now see that the file open dialog does not allow to select files. It only allows to select directories. And that does not help as the wizard will proceed only if it gets a valid file. I had used Kst on Fedora long back and it used to work fine. Any idea why this is happening? My thoughts: 1. bug in Kst source code 2. Something wrong with the file open dialog as it seems to be based on Qt4/KDE4 (or whatever) 3. Kst has plugin support and the file selection logic is tied to available plugins and for some reason ASCII file handling is broken Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks, Syam

How do I get this thing to shut up? I update my system using dnf from the command line and don't want to change, but this widget keeps popping up notifications and its configuration panel doesn't have a toggle to turn it off. What do I need to uninstall? poc

I'd like to work on bringing plasma-5.17.x officially to f31 (and possibly f30 too). kde frameworks 5.64.0 is on the way to testing (which we'll also build against here). Any concerns or objections? -- Rex

PwManager - how to extract passwords now that the program will no longer execute
by Temlakos 14 Nov '19

14 Nov '19

Everyone: It had to happen sooner or later, I suppose. I had kept an off-line password manager called PwManager. This one description survives: https://sourceforge.net/projects/passwordmanager/ The summary says it all: "this project is orphaned and deprecated." (It had seen no update since 2015.) And now it won't load in F31, though it did in F30 and the versions immediately before it. I had moved most, but by no means all, of my passwords to LastPass, the cross-platform cloud-based password manager. But I had a few that I did /not/ want to put into the cloud. Can anyone suggest a way to get at them? Or should I just write them off as gone for good? Temlakos
