nntp (aka, usenet) client in kde?
by Gene Smith
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.

Kate not installed by default on Fedora 16
by Sonic
Hi..
I just found out that Kate was not installed by default on Fedora 16
even though I had selected 'KDE Software Development' during
installation. KDevelop is installed, but not Kate.
Was this a concious decision or a mistake?
regards,

tracker in KDE
by Martin (KDE)
Hallo
Yesterday I upgraded from F15 to F16. This went smoothly (almost) but
after the restart there were ugly processes running and tacking much of
the CPU power: tracker-*
AFAIK these processes are the "nepomuk" part of gnome and I don't need
them. Why are the tracker processes activated in a typical KDE environment?

Downgrading KDEPIM
by John Aldrich
Can I add the F15 repos and downgrade KMail? I REALLY don't like KMail 2. It's
slower than molasses at the North Pole in January and it's a huge resource hog
to boot. I absolutely HATE the new version and if I can't go back to a version
that works, I'll have to find a new email client! :(

copying networkmanager connections
by Genes MailLists
I did a fresh install with kde4 - and I want to copy the networkmanager
applet connections from another laptop - can someone tell me which files
to copy from old to new laptop so it has the same already working
wireless and wired networks setup?
thanks.
I looked in ~/.kde/share/apps/networkmanagement
which has:
(I don't have a ~/.kde4 directory)
/connections - empty directory
/secrets - has uuid like file names each with psk=<passwords>
but i cannot find the list of connections - even tho I found the
passphrases
I had the plasmoid set to store as plain text.
thanks for any help ...

Nepomuk File Indexing Service Not Running
by Ed Greshko
Hi,
This is a fully updated F16 system running KDE.
"Nepomuk File Indexing Service Not Running" is the status that appears
when I hover over the Neomuk icon in the SysTray. Additionally, if I
bring up the "System Setting" application and choose "Desktop Search"
the "System Settings" application will hang.
Obviously something got borked. How can I either track down what is
borked or what can I safely delete to reinitialize the Nepomuk system?
Thanks,
Ed
