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 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 on EPEL 8
by Troy Dawson 06 Aug '19

06 Aug '19

Hi, EPEL 8 is getting close to being available. I think now is the time to start talking about KDE on EPEL8 in earnest. Who is going to do the EPEL8 KDE packages? I am volunteering to do them, but from what I've heard, there are several other people who want to do it as well. I don't want to duplicate effort, or take the spotlight from others. Maybe if there is enough people we do it as a group and/or SIG. On the flip side, I also want them initially done quickly. If someone is volunteering, yet they've never built a package for Fedora or EPEL before, I'd rather I do it then pass off the maintenance to them. Just to save time. Anyway, thoughts? Troy

EPEL8 KDE - Which Build Area
by Troy Dawson 01 Aug '19

01 Aug '19

Hi, EPEL8 is almost a reality. I am finally able to request branches, and have done so. Something new in EPEL (starting with EPEL8) is the "playground".[1] You can think of it as Fedora's rawhide, but different. Unlike Fedora Rawhide, the -playground branch will not automatically be branched or merged into EPEL8. I think playground is very descriptive, and the article I linked to describes things better than I can. I am going to start my first builds in playground, so I'm sure things are working. But the question is ... what about the whole build. My initial thought it to just build the whole thing in normal EPEL8 and not worry about playground for now. But then I thought, what about having KDE as a module. EPEL modules will not happen until the RHEL 8.1 timeframe (4 to 5 months from now). If we have KDE as a module, it will do two positive things for us. 1 - we don't have to be so dependent on CRB for some -devel packages. (ie: we could build out own gpgme to get the -devel package we need) 2 - We can replace certain RHEL8 packages (qt5) that are limiting our KDE versions. If we want to go to module only, for KDE. It might be better to have our initial build of EPEL8 KDE be in playground only. That way, we will not have to pull any packages out of the regular EPEL8 repository when we move everything to modules. Anyone wanting to use KDE that is running RHEL 8.0, would have to enable the playground repository. I don't know if that is a good or bad thing. Anyway, I wanted others opinions.

Change to Konsole switch profile keyboard shortcuts
by Patrick Boutilier 05 Jul '19

05 Jul '19

Profile switching shortcuts now switch the current tab’s profile instead of opening a new tab with the other profile. Does anybody else use profiles with the "Command" as "ssh user@ip" to open a secure shell to a server? Still works if you use the "New Tab" button but if you try to use a keyboard shortcut the ssh command doesn't get run because it is not a new tab. Should have been an option at least to turn off/on this new behaviour. :-( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=319926

dbus-1 path in some packages
by Troy Dawson 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

Hi, In rebuilding the KDE packages, I've ran into a strangeness on several packages, and I think I need to find out if I'm fixing them right. Several packages (powerdevil,plasma-desktop,sddm-kcm,kwalletmanager5 and others) have the following in their %files section of their spec file %{_sysconfdir}/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde<package specific stuff> The problem is, during build on RHEL8, these end up getting put in /usr/share/dbus-1 or in other words %{_datadir}/dbus-1/system.d/org.kde<package specific stuff> I am building these from the latest F30 builds. But on some of them, in Master they have already been changed to %{_datadir}/dbus-1 To fix the builds, I have been changing them to %{_datadir}/dbus-1/ ... because that is where the files are located. And I figured if that's where the build/install thinks they should be, then that's where they should be. But, am I doing those wrong? Or does it really matter where they go. Troy

Make Firefox (and other applications) respect KDE file associations
by Syam Krishnan 02 Jul '19

02 Jul '19

Hi Is there any way to make Firefox and other GTK (I think) applications obey file associations set in a KDE environment? I have only KDE on my machine and PDF files are set to open in Okular. But Firefox opens them (when I select a file from its downloads list) using Gimp. In the past, I vaguely remember seeing similar behaviour with some other GTK/Gnome applications. Recently, I have started using a program called Zotero that also has the same problem. xdg-open foo.pdf works correctly and opens Okular. I am not able to find a solution online. Any help? Thanks, Syam
