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 4.6 beta2 power management
by Martin Airs 26 Jan '11

26 Jan '11

Good day all, Since updating to 4.5.85 my monitor goes off after 10 minutes of inactivity, I've tried turning off the monitor power management in powerdevil and it still goes of after 10 minutes, I even tried setting the timeout to 1 minute but the monitor still goes off after 10 minutes. It seems something else is turning off the monitor, and powerdevil is having no effect. Has anyone else had this, and were can I start looking to see what is actualy doing it and how to turn it to never!, I would like it to honour the powerdevil profile as it allways has done in the past. thank you Martin

Set default background image on Fedora's KDE desktop
by Danishka Navin 13 Jan '11

13 Jan '11

Hi, I used following in my kickstart file to set my own background image for a Fedora 14 based remix. But it was not changing the default baground image for KDE Desktop. Still showing Fedora default (default wallpaper of official fedora release) background Image. Highly appreciate if you could tell me how to fix this. gconftool-2 --direct --config-source=xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults -s -t string /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename /path/to/your/wallpaper >/dev/null Thanks, -- Danishka Navin http://danishkanavin.blogspot.com http://twitter.com/danishkanavin http://identi.ca/danishka

Eric wont install and python qtdemo wont run accelerated
by Martin Airs 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

Good day all, When I attempt to yum install eric.. Installing: eric x86_64 4.4.8-1.fc14 fedora Installing for dependencies: qscintilla-python x86_64 2.4.4-2.fc14 fedora sip i686 4.10.5-2.fc14 fedora it fails with... package sip-4.11.2-0.2.fc14.x86_64 (which is newer than sip-4.10.5-2.fc14.i686) is already installed I'm not quite sure why it wants to install the i686 version of sip, but I already have a newer X86_64 version installed? I'm using all 3 kde, kde-testing and kde-unstable repos and am currently running 4.6 RC1 (4.5.90.1) I cant download and install the latest eric 4.4.10 because it still requires that I yum install qscintilla-python. How can I get around this? Also when I run the qtdemo included in PyQt4-devel rpm it segfaults and I have to run it with -software switch to make it work, any ideas why this might be? Thanks in advance for any help on these matter Martin

Past upgrade, can no longer login into KDE 4.6b2.
by Gilboa Davara 01 Jan '11

01 Jan '11

Hello all, I've upgrade my F14/x86_64/kde-unstable machine yesterday, didn't see anything interesting in particular. However, since the upgrade, I can no longer login into KDE. The login is insanely slow, and ends up with a black screen. Looking at the .xsession-errors, it seems that dbus is dead. The only thing visible during login is: 5862 ? 00:00:00 kdeinit4 5863 ? 00:00:00 start_kdeinit_w <defunct> 5864 ? 00:00:00 start_kdeinit Any idea what's up? GNOME seems to be working just fine, so it's no a system wide issue. - Gilboa

Screensaver security diff: 4.4->4.5 ?
by Gene Smith 31 Dec '10

31 Dec '10

Hi, I just installed 4.5.4 (f14) and notice that there is no longer the ability to get out of the screensaver without a password after activating the screensaver by moving the mouse to the screen edge. With kde <=4.4 you could move the mouse to an edge point (as configured in the screensaver "advanced options" setting seen below the "monitor" that shows the screen saver as a small graphic) and the screensaver activates. When you move the mouse away from the edge the screensaver goes away without needing a password. With 4.5.x, after moving the mouse to an edge point the screen is locked (just like ctrl-alt-l) and a p/w is needed to get back. If the 4.5 screensaver is configured to not require a p/w to get out and it times out naturally, this works as it did in 4.4 and no p/w is needed to get out. However, this has no effect on the screen edge activation which always requires a p/w with kde 4.5.x. Note the "advanced options" as part of the screen saver is no longer present in kde 4.5.x (at least for the slideshow under Banners & Pictures). With <=4.4 it was nice to be able to activated the slide show and see some pictures and then get back without needing a password. Now this feature seems to be removed in 4.5. -gene

Entries in Kickoff?
by Martin Kho 25 Dec '10

25 Dec '10

Hi, On KDE 4.6 rc1 (rawhide) the Kickoff menu "Settings" is empty. The menu editor shows that there has to be one item, "System Settings". Second, I have an entry "Lost & Found" containing: KDE Calander, KDE Contacts, KDE Mail, KDE Notes and KDE Tasks, that are links to mobile shell scripts. Any one else have this? Are these entries correct? Martin Kho
