Plasma "exit screen" black background
by Ian Pilcher 16 Jan '21

16 Jan '21

After upgrading from F32 to F33, I now have a black background in the Plasma "exit screen." (This is screen that appears when you select "Leave" from the desktop pop-up menu and offers the Sleep, Restart, Shut Down, and Log Out options. I remember having this issue before, but I can't remember how I fixed it. Anyone have any idea what could be causing this? -- ======================================================================== In Soviet Russia, Google searches you! ========================================================================

Freezing Plasma in Fedora?
by Mikhail Ramendik 16 Jan '21

16 Jan '21

Hello, I had to leave Fedora a year ago because of breaking KDE Plasma updates mid-cycle (even on "current minus one" Fedora). I have since learned that this problem is unavoidable because of the Plasma release cycle, when the previous (non-LTS) release immediately stops being supported; this forces an update mid-cycle to a new Plasma and glitches can happen. I am looking at trying again, but can I somehow freeze all Plasma packages, while not disabling updates for all other stuff? I know what "dnf versionlock" is, but how do I create a correct list for it? The idea would be to freeze Plasma packages in advance of a Plasma version update and unfreeze a month after the new version goes into Fedora, watching for critical security issues in the meantime. -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization

Are these rkhunter warnings serious?
by Lester M Petrie 14 Jan '21

14 Jan '21

Hi, I am running KDE in Fedora 33. With some fairly recent update, I have started seeing the following warnings from rkhunter. They mostly seem tied to kde components. [13:19:12] Warning: Checking for possible rootkit files and directories [ Warning ] [13:19:12] Found file '/lib/libkeyutils.so.1.9'.

plasmashell/krunning consuming 100% cpu
by Neal Becker 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

After restarting from last update, I have a new problem. After login, a few minutes later I see krunner/plasmashell using a total of close to 100% cpu (each one bouncing around 50%). I'm sure this never happened before. -- *Those who don't understand recursion are doomed to repeat it*

Uh oh, looks like there is some breakage for latest kde update.

Kup-backup rpm not in Fedora repos
by Bla Bla 10 Jan '21

10 Jan '21

Kup (Kup Backup System - Backup scheduler for the Plasma desktop https://invent.kde.org/system/kup) an official Kde project, is missing in Fedora repositories. I don’t know why. It depends on rsync and bup; bup is also not included in Fedora (https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/bup) because months ago was still using Python 2, but since 0.31 version (released on september 2020) it supports python 3 (https://github.com/bup/bup/blob/master/note/0.31-from-0.30.1.md) Kup is also in other distributions, even rpm based distributions, as you can see in Repology (https://repology.org/project/kup-backup/versions). So, can you please consider to include kup-backup into official Fedora repos? Thanks

KDE update/stability policy on Fedora
by Mikhail Ramendik 06 Jan '21

06 Jan '21

Hello, I would really like to understand the policy of the schedule of major KDE component version updates in Fedora. I know of the Plasma release schedule problem. But this is bigger apparently. The bug that forced me to leave Fedora a year ago was https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1746465 . This bug was caused by a version update of KDE Frameworks, affected usability, and took over a month to fix. Following this list, I see that breaking updates to KDE are kind of a regular occurrence: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kde@lists.fedoraproject.org/t… I would guess that the component version updates mid-cycle cause the breaking updates. I would really appreciate some explanation of what the version update policy is. Also is there *any way at all* to have a reliable KDE environment on Fedora, apart from not updating the entire system? -- Yours, Mikhail Ramendik Unless explicitly stated, all opinions in my mail are my own and do not reflect the views of any organization

/lib64/libKF5AkonadiContact.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN7Akonadi16AttributeFactory17registerAttributeEPNS_9AttributeE
by Laurent Rineau 05 Jan '21

05 Jan '21

Hi, I am a user of https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/mkyral/ and I have a runtime issue since the last upgrade: [lrineau@bonnard]~% rpm -qf /usr/bin/kmail /lib64/libKF5AkonadiContact.so.5 /usr/bin/kmail /lib64/libKF5AkonadiCore.so.5 kmail-20.08.1-2.1.fc32.x86_64 kf5-akonadi-contacts-20.08.1-1.fc32.x86_64 kmail-20.08.1-2.1.fc32.x86_64 kf5-akonadi-server-20.12.0-1.fc32.x86_64 [lrineau@bonnard]~% kmail kmail: symbol lookup error: /lib64/libKF5AkonadiContact.so.5: undefined symbol: _ZN7Akonadi16AttributeFactory17registerAttributeEPNS_9AttributeE The culprit is the recent rebuild of kf5-akonadi-server to version 20.12.0, without rebuilding the kf5-akonadi-* packages that are still version 20.08.1. So I am without kmail, and am writing from the old roundcube webmail interface of my provider. Please excuse-me if the formatting is odd, or old.
